The Place chats - Watchmen-Praetor confrontations

This page covers confrontations between various Watchmen members and Praetor in the Watchmen Discord server The Place. Chris was in the middle of the disputes.

5 February 2021
After Chris had DM'd the Watchman Naught about his plan to use a taser supplied by Praetor on his quartz crystals to activate the Dimensional Merge, Naught posted to The Place asking Praetor to make sure everyone is safe.

The Watchmen again ask Praetor about the taser. Earlier in the day, Chris had mentioned wanting to use a taser to spark his collection of crystals to activate the Dimensional Merge, which Praetor said they would temporarily supply him with.

The discussion begins poorly, with Watchmen members Val and MKR using name-calling and other hostile remarks towards Praetor member Caden. Caden responds with mocking remarks.

Chris tries to defuse the situation, wanting the hostility to stop. Watchmen member Kyle jumps in and accuses Caden of fraud, to which Chris disagrees and responds that there is no fraud.

Hostilities from Val spill over to verbally attacking Chris as well, calling him an idiot.

The discussion continues via the Taser Discussion voice chat.

Chris posts his thoughts on how he felt overwhelmed from the aggression, recalling instances from his childhood in which he had felt aggrieved, and saying he interpreted the remarks as war-like instead of comical banter, and that he would try not to take future remarks personally.

Following the discussion, MKR took to Twitter to spread a rumor that Praetor wanted to get Chris to use a stun gun on himself. To fuel the rumor, she cropped an out-of-context portion of the discussion.

[During the Taser Discussion voice chat, Val demanded that Caden type out an apology statement to MKR; Caden obliged:]

13 February 2021
On 13 February 2021, Chris called out the group on its recent behavior, pointing out the aggression in the Taser Discussion call, as well as out-of-context leaks.

Watchmen Kyle and MKR reacted to the criticism by immediately making more hostile remarks towards Praetor. MKR also deflected blame onto Caden of Praetor, claiming he had attacked her first. She apologized for upsetting Chris and claimed she would stop and not post anything more on them.

A disappointed Chris said he would check in again later.

MKR's claim lasted less than three weeks; on 5 March 2021, she again lashed out over Twitter and spread another rumor about Praetor.
