Dethchemist77: Hello I'm the Grimace, I'm not dead.

== Audiobooks are gone ==
''This video is no longer available because the uploader has closed their Youtube account.''

We have some of the older audiobooks with the old narrator in the cwcville library, and maybe a few Dethchem narrations, but a good chunk of it is gone.
I'll make it my personal goal to find the others, and perhaps make redux it all from scratch if push comes to shove.[[User:SurfShackTito|SurfShackTito]] 10:06, 12 May 2012 (PDT)
* I have pretty much all the MP3's - episodes, subepisodes, specials and random extras like the KCWC thing. Do you want any of those, or are you just after the full video versions? [[User:Cantra|Cantra]] 13:58, 12 May 2012 (PDT)
*I'll take anything at this point. Could you upload whatever you have on mediafire? Please forward anything you have to the cwcville library. Much appreciated.[[User:SurfShackTito|SurfShackTito]] 14:38, 12 May 2012 (PDT)
* there's an mp3 link on the audiobooks talk page. Does that not have all if them? [[User:Shefap2|Shefap2]] 04:40, 14 May 2012 (PDT)
* Just checking in. Shiny contacted me, but like I told her, all I've got are the recordings I made for the episodes I worked on, so no music or video. But if Cantra has the mp3's you probably won't need them. If you need me to record new material, send me a message on YouTube, since that's the best way to get ahold of me. I'm still around, but I've been lurking since the comics dried up. [[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 07:07, 15 May 2012 (PDT)

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville") is [[Chris]]'s imaginary world, created from a combination of his twisted views on the world and pop-culture to work as a place where he can hide away from the hardships of reality, and make all his wishes, ideas, and deranged fantasies become true.

==Overview==
[[Image:CWCvilleMapProper.jpg|thumb|200px|Sonichu and Rosechu's welfare housing in relation to the rest of CWCville (note their postal code is the same as Chris's birthday and its address is nearly identical to his real address)]]
[[File:cwcville1.jpg|thumb|200px|A slightly more detailed (but no less disproportionate) drawing of CWCville]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] is Mayor-for-life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believes CWCville to actually exist in a parallel universe.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref> Chris has claimed to be mayor of CWCville "IN REAL LIFE."<ref>[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[ego]] stems from the fact that he can retreat to his own CWCville world, where he can right all wrongs done to him. In his comics, we see him defeating [[Mary Lee Walsh]], with whom he holds an IRL grudge, beating around the jerkops, and bringing his dead dog, [[Patti Chandler]], back to life in the form of the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]] The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts as defeating a whole army of huge [[Jerkops]] and resurrecting his dead dog is that in CWCville his will is supreme. This serves as a blanket that protects his physically and mentally weak self from the outside world in which he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned by people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly stated that this was not true.<ref>[[Mumble 11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32/> In his willingness to educate, and his confusion at negative reactions to his answers, Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

[[Image:0823-EP12-5P6-3.jpg|thumb|left|The toys that started it all]]

The seeds of CWCville were planted early into Chris's life. At some point, Chris put all of his completed [[LEGO]] kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade Sonichu items together on one table in his room. In February 2011, Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in 2001.<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary]]</ref> in 2003. This spelling consecutively features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Chris has repeatedly associated CWCville with Charlottesville, VA, likely the largest and most familiar urban environment in his life. Chris has presented footage of Charlottesville as footage of CWCville.<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> He has stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes", as if Chicago, for example, was less important than Charlottesville.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref> CWCville is said to have an annual Dogwood Festival,<ref name=p32>[http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32]</ref> also an annual Charlottesville tradition. This association further illustrates Chris's narrow perception of the outside world.

However, a map in [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]] shows CWCville as being near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the [[Pokémon]] series and located in Kanto, an area based on the [[Wikipedia:Kantō region|Kantō region]] in Japan. It is also located near [[Wikipedia:Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square]], found on Mobius.

Given Chris's humongous ego, it's surprising that didn't he give himself a whole country to begin with, or better yet, a whole fucking planet. He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], an idiotic Hyrule ripoff, but he actually let someone else rule it.

==Name==

One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade Pokémon cards]] featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym," while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room reads "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym." It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

Without knowing the "correct" pronunciation of the name, the fact remains that "CWCville", unlike any proper English word, begins with four consonants in a row. Using conventional phonology, the name is pretty difficult to utter, unless you're Welsh, in which case it would be pronounced "cookville".

==Government and politics==
{{Quote|And for your information, my City's politics are of a King/Queen thing; NO VOTING|Chris, explaining the totalitarian state to [[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails|Samantha Thaddeus]].}}

[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Notice how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Note how Chris needs an [[Ego|arrow pointing to himself]].]]

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], CWCville was founded in [[1982]] by Chris's father, [[Bob Chandler]]. Why he would name a city after his deadshit son is unknown. And only [[GodJesus]] knows why it wasn't called RFCville.

According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government is a "King/Queen thing" with no elections.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> There's a non-elected leader who does what he pleases, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the Cwcville Trade Center Building.<ref>[[Mailbag 5]]</ref> Chandler is Mayor-for-life with supreme power, and has insisted that there are no elections.

Contrary to this, he has insisted that the vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville).

The issue is further convoluted when Chris says that voting is strictly for the Board of Director Members<ref>[[Mailbag 37]]</ref>, though Chris shows that they still hold no authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to.

[[Image:Chris Jong-Il.jpg|thumb|left|Artist's depiction of CWCville's beloved [[Chris|Mayor]]]]
[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked. (Note the "SS" runes.)]]

The Mayor attempts to dissuade accusations of dictatorship, citing that dictatorships are never hereditary, whereas he [[Mailbag 34#The government totally sucks|inherited the town from his father]] (even though many dictatorships ''are'' hereditary, e.g. the [[Wikipedia:Kim Il Sung|Kim dynasty]] in North Korea, the [[Wikipedia:Pahlavi dynasty|Pahlavi dynasty]] in Iran and the [[Wikipedia:Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier]] [[Wikipedia:François Duvalier|dynasty]] in Haiti).

It's also revealed that the name of the town was changed when it was passed from father to son, though whether or not the town was originally known as "RFCville", or something marginally less retarded is unknown, as all records of Mayor Bob's mayorship — in fact, all symbols of the old regime — have been erased (like the Roman practice of ''[[Wikipedia:damnatio memoriae|damnatio memoriae]]'', where all records of a traitor: statues, inscriptions, etc., are erased after his death). It is unknown if Bob died before passing CWCville over to his son, as he has yet to be seen/mentioned in the comic.

Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref>, but later decided not to.

On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris_chan_Discusses|post-coup interview]] that [[Wikipedia:Doublethink|he was always the ruler]] and that there would be no further elections.

The police don't take orders from the civil authorities and lock people up at random and [[Mary Lee Walsh|the dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] is leading a hopeless resistance and is vilified in the [[Comic|mayoral-controlled press]]. [[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, whereas possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]].

Laws have been enacted to persecute homosexuals, and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies completely against the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest a super-powered official, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a group of civilian defense contractors, have [[Chris and the Law#In the Comics|immunity from prosecution]]. This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this is in fact the hallmark of all police states.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and mercenaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

The court system is a joke. Walsh was captured, depowered and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[jerkops]] and [[manajerks]] are <ref>depowered</ref>, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. However, when [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people - [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean and [[Mao]] are arrested and put on trial not even a week after, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor. The judge is biased in Chris's favor, when all judges should be impartial. Sean is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. Nobody suggests appointing a public defender for the four. The prosecutor adds on to the charges, considering slander via the Asperpedia (which was destroyed by Chris) punishable by death, when it is a mild offense in most jurisdictions. Evidence gathered using Magi-Chan's psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet.<ref>[[Jackie Chat 3]]</ref>

{{clear}}

==Economy==
[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]
CWCville runs under a command economy which Chris has near-total control over: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry. With the banning of anything tobacco-related, CWCville loses hundreds of millions of dollars a year in tax revenues, jobs and investment.

CWCville also mints its own currency, which comes in confusing denominations - there are two coins: the C-Quarter and W-Quarter, ten C-Quarters equaling one W-Quarter, indicating that [[Honor roll|Chris has no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver-colored rim and the letter "W" in red in the center, while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and blue, with a silver-colored rim. Fines are levied in U.S. dollars, for unknown reasons: perhaps to add to the foreign currency reserves of the tottering dictatorship.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house an population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20]]</ref> The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], page 21</ref>

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Michael Snyder|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york" and is on the stock exchange.<ref>[[Jackie Chat 3]]</ref>

==Flora and fauna==
[[Image:zapbud.jpg|thumb|Zapbud]]
CWCville, like the rest of Virginia, has a temperate climate and is suitable for large-scale agriculture. Years of economic decline, however, have seen CWCville's environs diverge greatly from those of its neighboring cities. Its forests growing thicker, and its fields returning to nature, CWCville is an excellent laboratory for the avid naturalist. Pokémon roam in the forests; zapbuds fill the fields.

Zapbuds have quickly established themselves in the surrounding ecosystem. Aside from [[Sonichu's Ode to Rosechu|"healing woes,"]] relatively little is known about them. They have four petals, possibly resembling buds of some sort in their normal state, and the "zap" in their name and electrical hazard symbols on their petals suggest that it might not be the brightest idea to pee in the middle of a zapbud field.

Marijuana is grown in CWCville and is used recreationally [[Inos|by]] [[Yawning Squirtle|several]] [[Kathleen Nicole Wallace|people]] but is punished by [[Book10Replacement|Draconian prison sentences]]. {{clear}}

==Candidates for Future Interviews==
Debate future candidates for interviews and vote for them here. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 16:37, 3 February 2011 (PST)

:How about [[Reggie Fils-Aimé]]? We know Clyde posed as Miyamoto at the time, but Reggie's role has never really been explained beyond the e-mail records. [[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 17:51, 3 February 2011 (PST)

:I would to see [[Pandahalo]] interviewed. Chris was still obsessed with her as recent as August of last year.--[[User:Sack Thaddic|Sack Thaddic]] 18:52, 3 February 2011 (PST)

:What about [[Kacey]]? She actually met in him in real life but there's no information about that on her page. -[[User:Acousticvirgin|Acousticvirgin]] 21:39, 3 February 2011 (PST)

::*Not to shoot down ideas but PandaHalo is probably out of the question as she's sorta disappeared from the trolling scene, and Kacey wants nothing to do with trolling nowadays. But keep them coming.--[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 09:48, 4 February 2011 (PST)
:I like the idea of asking Emily some questions, or maybe try and find someone from Chris's past to see how he was BEFORE the trolls came into his life... like Megan (though she herself is probably out of the question considering their past... but someone like her from Chris's past). --[[User:4Macie|4Macie]] 11:44, 4 February 2011 (PST)

:[[Alec Benson Leary]] would be a good one. Setting Asperchu aside, I think it'd be interesting to hear about what it's like trying to maintain a dialogue with Chris for up to an hour. Same goes for [[Jackie]], only with e-mail. Obviously, Jackie could get Chris's attention by being a girl, but it was still impressive how she managed to keep him going for as long as she did.--[[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 16:56, 4 February 2011 (PST)

== Format ==

Just curious, would people prefer audio or text? Some trolls will opt for text but in cases where audio is possible, would you want it? There's the work involved in transcribing but I wonder if people will consider them more authentic. Thoughts?--[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 17:03, 3 February 2011 (PST)

CWCki:Inside the Pickle Suit

2011-02-05T00:39:40Z

Dethchemist77:

'''Inside the Pickle Suit''' is an ongoing [[CWCki]] project where CWCki users can ask trolls involved with Chris their side of the story in a series of interviews in order to gain information to improve CWCki articles.

The first interview will be with '''Ivy's ghost''', scheduled for 11 February 2011.

==Candidates for Future Interviews==
Difficulty - must be trolls (no [[Megan]], [[The Wallflower]], etc.).

'''Vote for next interview on the [[CWCki talk:Inside the Pickle Suit|talk page]] by 10 February 2011.'''

Some possibilities (not inclusive):

*[[BlueSpike]]/Julie
*[[The Man in the Pickle Suit]]
*[[Emily]]
*[[Jack Thaddeus]]
*[[Clyde Cash]]

==Rules of Engagement==
*No stupid questions (i.e. "What's your REAL name?," "Where do you REALLY live?").
*Read the relevant articles first before asking.

==Questions==
Ask your questions here. Be sure to [[Help:A_Quick_Guide_to_CWCki#Sign_your_comments|sign your question]] so we know who asked it.

'''Questions for Ivy are due 10 February 2011'''

Assuming that you weren't forced to abort, what was your original plan for ending the saga? Did you have anything special planned for the breakup?--[[User:MoarLurk|MoarLurk]] 17:18, 3 February 2011 (PST)
* Also how did you get Chris to watch End of Evangelion and did he have any prior exposure to the series?--[[User:MoarLurk|MoarLurk]] 19:42, 3 February 2011 (PST)

How much contact did you have with Chris? Also, were you ever actually planning on meeting Chris like he mentions in [[For_My_Sweetest_Ivy|this]] video?--[[User:Sack Thaddic|Sack Thaddic]] 18:15, 3 February 2011 (PST)

How much input did you have into the content Chris produced during the saga? Were the Wedding/Honeymoon Comics based on your suggestions, or did Chris come up with it on his own?--[[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 18:27, 3 February 2011 (PST)

After the saga ended, Chris seemed uncertain about whether you were a really a troll or not. Have you ever considered re-establishing contact with him?--[[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 21:19, 3 February 2011 (PST)

:Doesn't Chris think Ivy died? [[User:Eamoo|Eamoo]] 11:51, 4 February 2011 (PST)

::He thought PandaHalo died earlier in the year; that didn't stop him from e-mailing her once she resurfaced. Not saying it's a good idea for Ivy to do the same, I'm just wondering if Ivy ever thought about it.--[[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 16:39, 4 February 2011 (PST)

Opinions regarding how Chris became the way he is vary from assigning him over nine thousand different mental diseases and disorders, to crediting his 'perfect storm' of behavioral issues to simply shitty parenting of an autistic kid. As one of his more dedicated trolls, what are your thoughts? --[[User:Ronichu|Ronichu]] 13:43, 4 February 2011 (PST)

Most of the trolling aside from BlueSpike's efforts seems designed with the ultimate goal of helping Chris (eg "Get a job" is a requirement of practically all sweethearts). Do you believe this has had any effect? Can they? Following on from that, do you support BlueSpike style trolling, aka purposely inflicting as much harm on Chris as possible with no 'goal'? --[[User:Ronichu|Ronichu]] 13:43, 4 February 2011 (PST)

==Message Box Template Review==
What I'm trying to do here is go over the various message box templates and optimize them for quality. My concerns with the message box templates are as follows:

First, they're not really uniform in appearance. I think the Userboxes are a good model of what I want to accomplish here. The Userboxes aren't identical or anything, but they're all the same width, about the same height, use about the same image size, and most of them feature some sort of clever text and/or image related to CWC. By contrast, the article message boxes all vary in size, color, formatting, etc. Some of them use CWC-related images to humorous effect, some don't. Some don't use images at all. They serve their purposes, but I think many of them could use a makeover.

Second, I'd like to harmonize these things to use a single message box template. As it is, most of them were created independently of one another, which means that anyone trying to create a new message box is probably going to start from scratch. The whole point of templates is to save users the hassle of reinventing the wheel, so hopefully my work here will make the CWCki a little more efficient.

I've copied the templates' coding into this sandbox, so I can play with them without editing the real templates or disrupting the CWCki.

'''Notes:''' I don't think this template is being used, which is a real shame, because it looks pretty swank and we could use a handy reference to the best articles.

I've added the rainbow [[Christmas]] star in place of the template's original gold star, and it looks awesome. Just to play around, I've also added a rainbow border to go with the star. Maybe it's too much, I don't know. The existing template has no width parameter, so for the time being, I'm giving it a width of 70%. I'll try that number for the other boxes and see how well that works.

'''Note:''' Basically copied the Article of the Now table to this one, since it accommodates the image better. When the time comes, I'll need to set it up so it toggles between the real Moon and the comic Moon when you go from deletion to speedy deletion.

'''Note:''' Muuuch better. Nothing says "minority viewpoint" like Chris reading from a paper in his suit coat. Upon further review, this template is probably more of a talk page message box than an article message box, given its usage. Will need to recategorize.

'''Note:''' I don't object to the use of pickles here, although I think some actual fan art would be more appropriate. Maybe Sonichu's face cropped out of a larger composition. The point is that we ''have'' a large assortment of fan art, so why are we using a stock image of pickles?

'''Note:''' The Improve Template isn't really used anywhere, except to make the ImproveMusic template below, which is only on one article. I think we could still use it, but it needs an overhaul. The Soviet theme isn't doing it for me.

'''Note''': I think it's pretty easy to confuse this template for the Unifinished one, which is for works that ''Chris'' hasn't finished. Since this one is for stuff Cwcki users haven't finished, I propose changing the image and text to this 4-cent Garbage theme.

'''Note:''' I like this template because it has a lot of customization features built into it. I think some of the others here may be the same way, but if I end up with some sort of single meta-template for message boxes, it should definitely include the options in Tardrage.

'''Note:'''This one puts a star at the top of the article, and categorizes it under Featured Articles. Apparently unused, and perhaps redundant given the "Article of the Now" template.

===={{Tl|Notice}}====
{| class="{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{TALKSPACE}}|{{#ifeq:{{{small|}}}|yes|small|standard}}-talk}} messagebox"
| {{#if:{{{header|}}}|rowspan="2"}} align="center" style="width:35px;"|[[Image:{{{image|{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{TALKSPACE}}|}}CWCFinger.jpg}}}|{{#ifeq:{{{small|}}}|yes|75px|100px}}|Notice]]
{{#if:{{{header|}}}|
! Notice: {{{header}}}
{{!-}}
}}
|align="left"|{{{1}}}
|}

'''Note:''' Apparently unused. Not surprising, given how many specialized message boxes we already have. I really think that giant finger image needs to end up in ''some'' message box, even if this one ends up getting deleted.

==Project: Dethbox==

Now that I've got decent-looking drafts for the message boxes, I'm gonna try to cook up a template they can all use. I'll start with {{Tl|Box}}.

{{box
|title=Article Message Box
|text=This is a draft of the new Article Message Box Template. I made the colors all nutty so I could tell what I'm doing.
|image=lonely.jpg
|img_border=4px solid red
|img_width=120
|border=black
|head_bg=green
|bg=white
|width=800
|color=blue
}}

From playing with this thing, the immediate limitation is that the image border is more customizable than the box border. I can change the color of either, but I can't change the black border's thickness or style. I also can't enter a percentage value for the width. That's not a major issue, I suppose, but I think percents would be better for the user.

The box template currently has border thickness and margins set automatically, but it wouldn't take much to open those options up to the user.

What I'm starting to think here is that {{Tl|Box}} should be modified to include options I'd want to use for the article message boxes. Then, I could take {{Tl|Mbox}}, and basically turn it into a customization of {{Tl|Box}}. Mbox could then be used for all message boxes, regardless of whether they're talk, article, template, or whatever. The lone exception would be the Userboxes, since, they're already well-established as a separate category, and there's no need to go messing with them.

Below are the options I want the box to have. New ones I'd have to add are in bold.

*title - The box title. Default: "I am a box"
*text - The box text. Default: "I contain lots of interesting things "
*image - The image on the left of the box. Default: "delayclose.jpg"
*img_border - CSS for the border around the image. Default: "1px solid rgb(127,127,127)"
*img_width - The images desired width. Default: "100"
*border - Colour for the box border. Default: "rgb(125, 106, 141)"
*head_bg - Colour of the box head. Default: Same as border
*bg - Background colour of the box. Default: "rgb(224, 190, 253)"
*width - Width of the box. Default: "450"
*color - Text color for the box text. Default: "rgb(0, 0, 0)"
*'''image_right - The image on the left of the box. Default: no image'''
*'''img_right_border - CSS for the border around the image. Default: no border'''
*'''img_right_width - The images desired width. Default: "100" '''
*'''some way to make the width toggle between px and percent'''

At this point, I probably need to step out of the sandbox and experiment with an actual template. {{Tl|Ambox}} should be safe to play with, so I think I'll scrap its existing code and swap it out for the modifications I have in mind for {{Tl|Box}}.

Once that's done, I'll attempt to replicate the templates above using Ambox. If I can do that, I'll copy Ambox into Box and try it again. Then, I'll alter Mbox to incorporate the fixed dimension settings I want all the message boxes to have.

==Sidequest: Rainbow Box==
Here's a retarded question I refuse to leave alone: Can I make a rainbow-bordered box like I did using html?

<center><div class="boilerplate metadata" id="honest">

Basically, this involves nesting the box inside of six other tables, each with a different border color. It looks pretty (moar liek pretty ''gay'', amirite?), but it may be more trouble than it's worth.

It could be of some use, if anyone feels like making boxes with multi-colored schemes like this. I could see a "shirtbow" pattern or a "battery blue/pikachu yellow" scheme coming into play.

Just in case anyone is following this, I don't plan on using these rainbow borders and bizarre color schemes once I actually get down to business. I just find it easier to test the code this way, and I want to make the message box design as flexible as possible.

==Message Box Template Review==
What I'm trying to do here is go over the various message box templates and optimize them for quality. My concerns with the message box templates are as follows:

First, they're not really uniform in appearance. I think the Userboxes are a good model of what I want to accomplish here. The Userboxes aren't identical or anything, but they're all the same width, about the same height, use about the same image size, and most of them feature some sort of clever text and/or image related to CWC. By contrast, the article message boxes all vary in size, color, formatting, etc. Some of them use CWC-related images to humorous effect, some don't. Some don't use images at all. They serve their purposes, but I think many of them could use a makeover.

Second, I'd like to harmonize these things to use a single message box template. As it is, most of them were created independently of one another, which means that anyone trying to create a new message box is probably going to start from scratch. The whole point of templates is to save users the hassle of reinventing the wheel, so hopefully my work here will make the CWCki a little more efficient.

I've copied the templates' coding into this sandbox, so I can play with them without editing the real templates or disrupting the CWCki.

===A-D===
===={{Tl|Apocrypha}}====
<center><div class="boilerplate metadata" id="apocrypha">
<table cellpadding="0" width=70% cellspacing="4" style="{{{1|border: 4px solid #000000;}}}">
<tr><td>[[Image:003-NPSon.jpg|100px]]</td>
<td><p align="center"><center>
''This page contains material about [[Chris]] of questionable origin. Get Chris to confirm this material and become an Internet superhero.''
</center></p></td></tr></table></div></center>

'''Notes''' Changed image to picture of Chris's Homemade Nintendo Power, since it's an apocryphal issue of the magazine. Not totally satisfied with that, but it's better than the Dead Sea Scrolls, I think.

===={{Tl|Articleofthenow}}====
<center><div class="boilerplate metadata" id="honest">
<table cellpadding="0" width=70% cellspacing="0" style="{{{1|border: 2px solid #ff0000;}}}">

<tr><td>[[Image:078-StarFront.jpg|100px]]</td>
<td><p align="center">
'''This article is filled with {{{2|TRUTH and HONESTY}}} and was once 'Article of the Now'.'''
</p></td></tr></table>
</td></table>
</td></table>
</td></table>
</td></table>
</td></table></div></center>

'''Notes:''' I don't think this template is being used, which is a real shame, because it looks pretty swank and we could use a handy reference to the best articles.

I've added the rainbow [[Christmas]] star in place of the template's original gold star, and it looks awesome. Just to play around, I've also added a rainbow border to go with the star. Maybe it's too much, I don't know. The existing template has no width parameter, so for the time being, I'm giving it a width of 70%. I'll try that number for the other boxes and see how well that works.

===={{Tl|CWCipedia}}====
<div style="clear:right; background:#ffffbb; width:300px; padding:3px; border:2px solid #99aaee; float:right; font-size:90%">
[[Image:CWCipedia logo.png|left|60px]]
For [[Lies|Truth]] and [[Honest Content|Honesty]], see the archived [[CWCipedia|CWCipedia]] page on {{CWCipedia link|{{{chris|{{PAGENAME}}}}}|{{{linkname|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}</div>

'''Note:''' I'm not planning to mess with this one much, since these side boxes are sort of a category unto themselves.

{{clear}}
===={{Tl|Delete}}====
<center><div class="boilerplate metadata" id="delete">
<table cellpadding="0" width=70% cellspacing="4" style="{{{1|border: 4px solid #ff0000;}}}">
<tr><td>[[Image:Moon.jpg|100px]]</td>
<td><p align="center">
''This page is up for {{#ifeq: {{{1}}}|speedy|speedy deletion{{#if: {{{2|}}}| because '''{{{2}}}'''|}}.|{{#if: {{{1|}}}|deletion because '''{{{1}}}'''.<br />|deletion.}}}} Every ounce of it will be [[tobacky|shot to the moon]] unless a convincing case for its preservation is made on its [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|talk page.]]''
</p></td></tr></table></div></center>

'''Note:''' Basically copied the Article of the Now table to this one, since it accommodates the image better. When the time comes, I'll need to set it up so it toggles between the real Moon and the comic Moon when you go from deletion to speedy deletion.

===={{Tl|Deletedaudio}}====
<center>
<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="incomplete">
<table cellpadding="0" width=70% cellspacing="4" style="background-color: #ffffff; border: 4px solid #37A814;">
<tr><td>[[File:Sound_needed.png|100px| ]]</td>
<td><p align="center">'''<font color=#37A814 size=5>Audio Required!</font>'''</p>
<p>The audio has been deleted or the link has expired, and requires immediate replacement.</p></td></tr></table></div>
</center>

'''Notes:''' Looking good with the AoTN table formatting. I like the format of the header message, but I wonder if it might be changed to something funnier.

===={{Tl|Deletedvideo}}====
<center>
<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="incomplete">
<table cellpadding="0" width=70% cellspacing="4" style="background-color: #ffffff; border: 4px solid #000fff;">

<td><p align="center">'''<font color=#000fff size=5>THAT IS MY VIDEO'''</font></p>

</center>
'''Notes:'''Tweaked this to resemble the Deleteaudio template more.

===E-I===
===={{Tl|Essay}}====
<center>
<br><div class="boilerplate metadata" id="stub"><table width=70% cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: transparent; border: 3px outset #999999"><tr ><td >[[File:Future_Message.jpg|80px]]</td><td><center> <font size=4>'''"I state my opinion on the subject as it is my right as well to my own opinion."'''</font><br />''This essay reflects the opinion of its author and/or a minority viewpoint and does <br />not meet [[CWCki]] quality standards of encyclopedic value. Reader discretion is advised.</center></td></tr></table></div></center>

'''Note:''' Muuuch better. Nothing says "minority viewpoint" like Chris reading from a paper in his suit coat. Upon further review, this template is probably more of a talk page message box than an article message box, given its usage. Will need to recategorize.

===={{Tl|Fan art}}====
<div style="clear:right; background:#ffffff; width:300px; padding:3px; border:2px solid #33aa33; float:right; font-size:90%">
[[Image:Pickles.jpg|left|80px]]
Tired of "[[Good Fan Art]]"? Visit our constantly expanding Gallery of [[:Category:Fan_art|Evil Fan Art]]! There's even a whole section dedicated to {{Fan art link|<includeonly>{{{chris|{{PAGENAME}}}}}|{{{linkname|{{PAGENAME}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>Yawning Squirtle|Yawning Squirtle</noinclude>}}!</div>

'''Note:''' I don't object to the use of pickles here, although I think some actual fan art would be more appropriate. Maybe Sonichu's face cropped out of a larger composition. The point is that we ''have'' a large assortment of fan art, so why are we using a stock image of pickles?

{{clear}}

===={{Tl|Honest}}====
<div align="center" class="boilerplate metadata" id="honest">
{| cellpadding="0" width=70% cellspacing="4" style="border: 4px solid #000000; text-align: center;"

'''Note:''' Dicked up the color scheme by mistake, but I was probably going to change it anyway.

===={{Tl|Improve}}====
<div align="center">
{| style="width: 70%; background-color: #ffa500; text-align: center; border: 2px solid #000000;"
| style="width: 75px;" | [[Image:Chriscash.jpg|120px]]

But at least it's face isn't '''FUCKING ORANGE'''. <br /> Get this page what it deserves and <span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit}} {{{2}}}.]</span>
|}</div>

'''Note:''' The Improve Template isn't really used anywhere, except to make the ImproveMusic template below, which is only on one article. I think we could still use it, but it needs an overhaul. The Soviet theme isn't doing it for me.

===={{Tl|ImproveMusic}}====
<div align="center">
{| style="width: 70%; background-color: #ffa500; text-align: center; border: 2px solid #000000;"
| style="width: 75px;" | [[Image:Chriscash.jpg|120px]]
| style="color: #000000;" | <big>'''NEEDS IMPROVEMENT''' </big><br /><br />OK, so this article needs fully transcribed lyrics. But at least it's face isn't '''FUCKING ORANGE'''. <br /> Get this page what it deserves and <span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit}} add some transcribed lyrics...]</span>
|}</div>

'''Note:''' This is what ImproveMusic would look like if I edited Improve to look like the box above. Realistically, though, I can't see much justification for keeping the template around.

===={{Tl|Incomplete}}====
<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="incomplete">
{| cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4" width=70% style="background-color: #88ff88; border: 2px solid #000000; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"

|-
|}</div>

'''Note''': I think it's pretty easy to confuse this template for the Unifinished one, which is for works that ''Chris'' hasn't finished. Since this one is for stuff Cwcki users haven't finished, I propose changing the image and text to this 4-cent Garbage theme.

===M-R===

</center>

'''Note:''' This is a perfect example of what I want all the message boxes to look like, in terms of image and text.

'''Note:''' Swapped in a crappy drawing of Chris sulking, and this template is suddenly 1,000,000% better.

===={{Tl|Oversized}}====
<center>
{| width=70% style="{{{1|border: 4px solid #ff5050;}}} background:#3099ff; color:#0000ff;"

|}
</center>

'''Note''': How do we have a template called "oversized" that doesn't use the iconic Drinking Straw image? Hell, it even links to the article, so why use Barb?

===Q-Z===
===={{Tl|Quality}}====

''This article relates to a recent Chris-related event. As a result, there may be many CWCki users trying to contribute and the content of the article may change rapidly.''

</p></td></tr></table></div></center>

'''Note:''' I like this template because it has a lot of customization features built into it. I think some of the others here may be the same way, but if I end up with some sort of single meta-template for message boxes, it should definitely include the options in Tardrage.

===={{Tl|Taxpayermoney}}====

'''Note:''' Another good one. I like the use of two images, the color scheme, and the text. You can tell a lot of thought went into this one. Otherwise, it'd be some purple-on-lime-green box with "This content, like Sonichu's wife will soon do when she's a whore, will proceed to be paid for using taxpayer money."

===Message Boxes that Use Metatemplates===

===={{Tl|Ongoing}}====

|image=Event_marker.jpg}}

===={{Tl|Protip}}====
{{Box

|img_border=1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170)
|img_width=90

}}

===Templates That Probably Aren't Worth Working On===

===={{Tl|Featured article}}====
<div style="position:absolute; z-index:100; right:10px; top:10px;" class="metadata" id="featured-star">[[File:LinkFA-star.png|14px|link=Category:Featured articles|This is a featured article. Click here for more information.]]</div>

'''Note:'''This one puts a star at the top of the article, and categorizes it under Featured Articles. Apparently unused, and perhaps redundant given the "Article of the Now" template.

===={{Tl|Notice}}====
{| class="{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{TALKSPACE}}|{{#ifeq:{{{small|}}}|yes|small|standard}}-talk}} messagebox"
| {{#if:{{{header|}}}|rowspan="2"}} align="center" style="width:35px;"|[[Image:{{{image|{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{TALKSPACE}}|}}CWCFinger.jpg}}}|{{#ifeq:{{{small|}}}|yes|75px|100px}}|Notice]]
{{#if:{{{header|}}}|
! Notice: {{{header}}}
{{!-}}
}}
|align="left"|{{{1}}}
|}

'''Note:''' Apparently unused. Not surprising, given how many specialized message boxes we already have. I really think that giant finger image needs to end up in ''some'' message box, even if this one ends up getting deleted.

==Project: Dethbox==

Now that I've got decent-looking drafts for the message boxes, I'm gonna try to cook up a template they can all use. I'll start with {{Tl|Box}}.

{{box
|title=Article Message Box
|text=This is a draft of the new Article Message Box Template. I made the colors all nutty so I could tell what I'm doing.
|image=lonely.jpg
|img_border=4px solid red
|img_width=120
|border=black
|head_bg=green
|bg=white
|width=800
|color=blue
}}

From playing with this thing, the immediate limitation is that the image border is more customizable than the box border. I can change the color of either, but I can't change the black border's thickness or style. I also can't enter a percentage value for the width. That's not a major issue, I suppose, but I think percents would be better for the user.

The box template currently has border thickness and margins set automatically, but it wouldn't take much to open those options up to the user. A bigger question is how hard it would be to put a second image on the right side of the box.

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border: {{{border|4px solid rgb(0, 0, 0)}}}; margin: 10px auto; padding: 0pt; text-align: left; width: 80%; background-color: {{{bg|rgb(224, 190, 253)}}}; color: {{{color|rgb(0, 0, 0)}}}"
| <div style="border-bottom: 1px solid {{{border|rgb(0, 255, 0)}}}; background-color: {{{head_bg|{{{border|rgb(255, 0, 255)}}}}}}; font-size: 1px; height: 8px;"></div>
<div class="box_image" style="margin: 5px 8px 8px; float: left; border:{{{img_border|4px solid rgb(0, 255, 255)}}};">
[[Image:{{{image|delayclose.jpg}}}|{{{img_width|100}}}px]]
</div>
<div class="box_image" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px; float: right; border:{{{img_border|4px solid rgb(255, 255, 0)}}};">
[[Image:{{{image|CWCFinger.jpg}}}|{{{img_width|100}}}px]]
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(255, 0, 0); padding: 5px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size: 13pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; text-align: right; color: {{{color|rgb(0, 0, 0)}}}">{{{title|I am a box}}}
</div>
{{{text|I contain lots of interesting things}}}
|}

Definitely some possibilities here.

Here's a retarded question I refuse to leave alone: Can I make a rainbow-bordered box like I did using html?

<center><div class="boilerplate metadata" id="honest">

Not bad. The only thing I haven't worked out is how to change the background color while I'm using this many borders.

Just in case anyone is following this, I don't plan on using these rainbow borders and bizarre color schemes once I actually get down to business. I just find it easier to test the code this way, and I want to make the message box design as flexible as possible.

{{TOC limit}}

==Message Box Template Review==
What I'm trying to do here is go over the various message box templates and optimize them for quality. My concerns with the message box templates are as follows:

First, they're not really uniform in appearance. I think the Userboxes are a good model of what I want to accomplish here. The Userboxes aren't identical or anything, but they're all the same width, about the same height, use about the same image size, and most of them feature some sort of clever text and/or image related to CWC. By contrast, the article message boxes all vary in size, color, formatting, etc. Some of them use CWC-related images to humorous effect, some don't. Some don't use images at all. They serve their purposes, but I think many of them could use a makeover.

Second, I'd like to harmonize these things to use a single message box template. As it is, most of them were created independently of one another, which means that anyone trying to create a new message box is probably going to start from scratch. The whole point of templates is to save users the hassle of reinventing the wheel, so hopefully my work here will make the CWCki a little more efficient.

I've copied the templates' coding into this sandbox, so I can play with them without editing the real templates or disrupting the CWCki.

'''Notes''' Changed image to picture of Chris's Homemade Nintendo Power, since it's an apocryphal issue of the magazine. Not totally satisfied with that, but it's better than the Dead Sea Scrolls, I think.

'''Notes:''' I don't think this template is being used, which is a real shame, because it looks pretty swank and we could use a handy reference to the best articles.

I've added the rainbow [[Christmas]] star in place of the template's original gold star, and it looks awesome. Just to play around, I've also added a rainbow border to go with the star. Maybe it's too much, I don't know. The existing template has no width parameter, so for the time being, I'm giving it a width of 70%. I'll try that number for the other boxes and see how well that works.

'''Note:''' Basically copied the Article of the Now table to this one, since it accommodates the image better. When the time comes, I'll need to set it up so it toggles between the real Moon and the comic Moon when you go from deletion to speedy deletion.

'''Note:''' Muuuch better. Nothing says "minority viewpoint" like Chris reading from a paper in his suit coat. Upon further review, this template is probably more of a talk page message box than an article message box, given its usage. Will need to recategorize.

'''Note:''' I don't object to the use of pickles here, although I think some actual fan art would be more appropriate. Maybe Sonichu's face cropped out of a larger composition. The point is that we ''have'' a large assortment of fan art, so why are we using a stock image of pickles?

'''Note:''' The Improve Template isn't really used anywhere, except to make the ImproveMusic template below, which is only on one article. I think we could still use it, but it needs an overhaul. The Soviet theme isn't doing it for me.

===={{Tl|ImproveMusic}}====

'''Note:''' This is what ImproveMusic would look like if I edited Improve to look like the box above. Realistically, though, I can't see much justification for keeping the template around.

'''Note''': I think it's pretty easy to confuse this template for the Unifinished one, which is for works that ''Chris'' hasn't finished. Since this one is for stuff Cwcki users haven't finished, I propose changing the image and text to this 4-cent Garbage theme.

'''Note''': How do we have a template called "oversized" that doesn't use the iconic Drinking Straw image? Hell, it even links to the article, so why use Barb?

'''Note:''' I like this template because it has a lot of customization features built into it. I think some of the others here may be the same way, but if I end up with some sort of single meta-template for message boxes, it should definitely include the options in Tardrage.

'''Note:''' Another good one. I like the use of two images, the color scheme, and the text. You can tell a lot of thought went into this one.

===={{Tl|Protip}}====

===Templates That Probably Aren't Worth Working On===

===={{Tl|Featured article}}====
<div style="position:absolute; z-index:100; right:10px; top:10px;" class="metadata" id="featured-star">[[File:LinkFA-star.png|14px|link=Category:Featured articles|This is a featured article. Click here for more information.]]</div>

'''Note:'''This one puts a star at the top of the article, and categorizes it under Featured Articles. Apparently unused, and perhaps redundant given the "Article of the Now" template.

===={{Tl|Notice}}====
{| class="{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{TALKSPACE}}|{{#ifeq:{{{small|}}}|yes|small|standard}}-talk}} messagebox"
| {{#if:{{{header|}}}|rowspan="2"}} align="center" style="width:35px;"|[[Image:{{{image|{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{TALKSPACE}}|}}CWCFinger.jpg}}}|{{#ifeq:{{{small|}}}|yes|75px|100px}}|Notice]]
{{#if:{{{header|}}}|
! Notice: {{{header}}}
{{!-}}
}}
|align="left"|{{{1}}}
|}

'''Note:''' Apparently unused. Not surprising, given how many specialized message boxes we already have. I really think that giant finger image needs to end up in ''some'' message box, even if this one ends up getting deleted.

==Project: Dethbox==

Now that I've got decent-looking drafts for the message boxes, I'm gonna try to cook up a template they can all use. I'll start with {{Tl|Box}}.

{{box
|title=Article Message Box
|text=This is a draft of the new Article Message Box Template. I made the colors all nutty so I could tell what I'm doing.
|image=lonely.jpg
|img_border=4px solid red
|img_width=120
|border=black
|head_bg=green
|bg=white
|width=800
|color=blue
}}

From playing with this thing, the immediate limitation is that the image border is more customizable than the box border. I can change the color of either, but I can't change the black border's thickness or style. I also can't enter a percentage value for the width. That's not a major issue, I suppose, but I think percents would be better for the user.

Judging from the Box template code, this wouldn't be terribly difficult to adjust. Here:

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border: {{{border|4px solid rgb(255, 255, 0)}}}; margin: 10px auto; padding: 0pt; text-align: left; width: {{{width|70}}}%; background-color: {{{bg|rgb(224, 190, 253)}}}; color: {{{color|rgb(0, 0, 0)}}}"
| <div style="border-bottom: 1px solid {{{border|rgb(0, 255, 0)}}}; background-color: {{{head_bg|{{{border|rgb(255, 0, 255)}}}}}}; font-size: 1px; height: 8px;"></div>
<div class="box_image" style="margin: 5px 8px 8px; float: left; border:{{{img_border|1px solid rgb(127,127,127)}}};">
[[Image:{{{image|delayclose.jpg}}}|{{{img_width|100}}}px]]
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); padding: 5px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size: 13pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; text-align: right; color: {{{color|rgb(0, 0, 0)}}}">{{{title|I am a box}}}
</div>
{{{text|I contain lots of interesting things}}}
|}

The box template currently has border thickness and margins set automatically, but it wouldn't take much to open those options up to the user. A bigger question is how hard it would be to put a second image on the right side of the box.

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border: {{{border|4px solid rgb(0, 0, 0)}}}; margin: 10px auto; padding: 0pt; text-align: left; width: {{{width|70}}}%; background-color: {{{bg|rgb(224, 190, 253)}}}; color: {{{color|rgb(0, 0, 0)}}}"
| <div style="border-bottom: 1px solid {{{border|rgb(0, 255, 0)}}}; background-color: {{{head_bg|{{{border|rgb(255, 0, 255)}}}}}}; font-size: 1px; height: 8px;"></div>
<div class="box_image" style="margin: 5px 8px 8px; float: left; border:{{{img_border|4px solid rgb(0, 255, 255)}}};">
[[Image:{{{image|delayclose.jpg}}}|{{{img_width|100}}}px]]
</div>
<div class="box_image" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px; float: right; border:{{{img_border|4px solid rgb(255, 255, 0)}}};">
[[Image:{{{image|CWCFinger.jpg}}}|{{{img_width|100}}}px]]
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(255, 0, 0); padding: 5px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size: 13pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; text-align: right; color: {{{color|rgb(0, 0, 0)}}}">{{{title|I am a box}}}
</div>
{{{text|I contain lots of interesting things}}}
|}

Definitely some possibilities here.

==Message Box Template Review==
What I'm trying to do here is go over the various message box templates and optimize them for quality. My concerns with the message box templates are as follows:

First, they're not really uniform in appearance. I think the Userboxes are a good model of what I want to accomplish here. The Userboxes aren't identical or anything, but they're all the same width, about the same height, use about the same image size, and most of them feature some sort of clever text and/or image related to CWC. By contrast, the article message boxes all vary in size, color, formatting, etc. Some of them use CWC-related images to humorous effect, some don't. Some don't use images at all. They serve their purposes, but I think many of them could use a makeover.

Second, I'd like to harmonize these things to use a single message box template. As it is, most of them were created independently of one another, which means that anyone trying to create a new message box is probably going to start from scratch. The whole point of templates is to save users the hassle of reinventing the wheel, so hopefully my work here will make the CWCki a little more efficient.

I've copied the templates' coding into this sandbox, so I can play with them without editing the real templates or disrupting the CWCki.

''This page contains material about [[Chris]] of questionable origin. Get Chris to confirm this material and become an Internet superhero.''
</center></p></td></tr></table></div></center>

'''Notes''' Changed image to picture of Chris's Homemade Nintendo Power, since it's an apocryphal issue of the magazine. Not totally satisfied with that, but it's better than the Dead Sea Scrolls, I think.

===={{Tl|Articleofthenow}}====

</p></td></tr></table>
</td></table>
</td></table>
</td></table>
</td></table>
</td></table></div></center>

'''Notes:''' I don't think this template is being used, which is a real shame, because it looks pretty swank and we could use a handy reference to the best articles.

I've added the rainbow [[Christmas]] star in place of the template's original gold star, and it looks awesome. Just to play around, I've also added a rainbow border to go with the star. Maybe it's too much, I don't know. The existing template has no width parameter, so for the time being, I'm giving it a width of 70%. I'll try that number for the other boxes and see how well that works.

===={{Tl|CWCipedia}}====
<div style="clear:right; background:#ffffbb; width:300px; padding:3px; border:2px solid #99aaee; float:right; font-size:90%">

'''Note:''' I'm not planning to mess with this one much, since these side boxes are sort of a category unto themselves.

===={{Tl|Delete}}====
<center><div class="boilerplate metadata" id="delete">
<table cellpadding="0" width=70% cellspacing="4" style="{{{1|border: 4px solid #ff0000;}}}">

</p></td></tr></table></div></center>

'''Note:''' Basically copied the Article of the Now table to this one, since it accommodates the image better. When the time comes, I'll need to set it up so it toggles between the real Moon and the comic Moon when you go from deletion to speedy deletion.

'''Notes:''' Looking good with the AoTN table formatting. I like the format of the header message, but I wonder if it might be changed to something funnier.

===={{Tl|Deletedvideo}}====

'''Notes:'''Tweaked this to resemble the Deleteaudio template more.

===={{Tl|Essay}}====
<center>
<br><div class="boilerplate metadata" id="stub"><table width=70% cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: transparent; border: 3px outset #999999"><tr ><td >[[Image:Essay.png|| ]]</td><td>''This essay reflects the opinion of its author and/or a minority viewpoint and does not meet [[CWCki]] quality standards of encyclopedic value. Reader discretion is advised.</td></tr></table></div></center>

'''Note:'''Not sure this one gets a lot of usage, but surely we can find a text-wall from ''Sonichu'' or a screenshot of Chris lecturing his YouTube audience.

===={{Tl|Fan art}}====
<div style="clear:right; background:#ffffff; width:300px; padding:3px; border:2px solid #33aa33; float:right; font-size:90%">

'''Note:''' I don't object to the use of pickles here, although I think some actual fan art would be more appropriate. Maybe Sonichu's face cropped out of a larger composition. The point is that we ''have'' a large assortment of fan art, so why are we using a stock image of pickles?

===={{Tl|Honest}}====

'''Note:''' Dicked up the color scheme by mistake, but I was probably going to change it anyway.

===={{Tl|Improve}}====
<div align="center">

|}</div>

'''Note:''' The Improve Template isn't really used anywhere, except to make the ImproveMusic template below, which is only on one article. I think we could still use it, but it needs an overhaul. The Soviet theme isn't doing it for me.

===={{Tl|ImproveMusic}}====
<div align="center">
{| style="width: 70%; background-color: #ffa500; text-align: center; border: 2px solid #000000;"
| style="width: 75px;" | [[Image:Chriscash.jpg|120px]]

|}</div>

'''Note:''' This is what ImproveMusic would look like if I edited Improve to look like the box above. Realistically, though, I can't see much justification for keeping the template around.

===={{Tl|Incomplete}}====
<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="incomplete">
{| cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4" width=70% style="background-color: #88ff88; border: 2px solid #000000; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"

|-
|}</div>

'''Note''': I think it's pretty easy to confuse this template for the Unifinished one, which is for works that ''Chris'' hasn't finished. Since this one is for stuff Cwcki users haven't finished, I propose changing the image and text to this 4-cent Garbage theme.

===M-R===
===={{Tl|Merge}}====
<center>
{| width=70% cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="background-color:transparent; border:1px solid black"

</center>

'''Note:''' This is a perfect example of what I want all the message boxes to look like, in terms of image and text.

===={{Tl|Needs Images}}====

'''This page, like Sonichu's children are destined to be, is orphaned. <br>Help out by adding relevant links to it on other pages.'''
</p></td></tr></table></div></center>

'''Note:''' This one kind of sucks. First of all, that's Sonichu and Rosechu as babies, not their kids. Second of all, it's so damn small, you can barely tell what it is. Third of all fuck you. Sonichu's children "are destined to be" orphaned? Sure, if you go by some sort of troll fanfic where they get run over by a lawnmower. A better analogy would be to compare the page's isolation to Chris's, and maybe use a picture of him at Fridays after Five, or the comic where Hannah dumps him.

===={{Tl|Oversized}}====
<center>

'''Note''': How do we have a template called "oversized" that doesn't use the iconic Drinking Straw image? Hell, it even links to the article, so why use Barb?

===Q-Z===
===={{Tl|Quality}}====
<center>
{| class="boilerplate" id="pd" style=" background-color:#CC9900; border:2px solid #000000; padding: 0px; width:70%;" cellpadding=7 cellspacing=0

''This article relates to a recent Chris-related event. As a result, there may be many CWCki users trying to contribute and the content of the article may change rapidly.''

'''WARNING! This video features {{{2|high}}} levels of [[Chris and anger|Tard Rage]].'''
</p></td></tr></table></div></center>

'''Note:''' I like this template because it has a lot of customization features built into it. I think some of the others here may be the same way, but if I end up with some sort of single meta-template for message boxes, it should definitely include the options in Tardrage.

|}
</center>

'''Note:''' Another good one. I like the use of two images, the color scheme, and the text. You can tell a lot of thought went into this one. Otherwise, it'd be some purple-on-lime-green box with "This content, like Sonichu's wife will soon do when she's a whore, will proceed to be paid for using taxpayer money."

===Message Boxes that Use Metatemplates===

===={{Tl|Ongoing}}====
{{box
|title=Ongoing
|text=The things described in this article are still happening, so it may be subject to frequent change.
|image=Event_marker.jpg}}

===={{Tl|Protip}}====
{{Box
|title=<div style="text-align: left;"><b>PROTIP:</b></div>

|text='''{{{1|Men are the magnets. Women are the metal.}}}'''
}}

===={{Tl|Unfinished}}====
{{box

|text=Chris has yet to complete this project due to [[stress]].
|image=Stress.jpg
|bg=rgb(190, 224, 253)
|head_bg=rgb(106, 125, 141)
|border=rgb(106, 125, 141)
}}

===Templates That Probably Aren't Worth Working On===

===={{Tl|Featured article}}====
<div style="position:absolute; z-index:100; right:10px; top:10px;" class="metadata" id="featured-star">[[File:LinkFA-star.png|14px|link=Category:Featured articles|This is a featured article. Click here for more information.]]</div>

'''Note:'''This one puts a star at the top of the article, and categorizes it under Featured Articles. Apparently unused, and perhaps redundant given the "Article of the Now" template.

===={{Tl|Notice}}====
{| class="{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{TALKSPACE}}|{{#ifeq:{{{small|}}}|yes|small|standard}}-talk}} messagebox"
| {{#if:{{{header|}}}|rowspan="2"}} align="center" style="width:35px;"|[[Image:{{{image|{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{TALKSPACE}}|}}CWCFinger.jpg}}}|{{#ifeq:{{{small|}}}|yes|75px|100px}}|Notice]]
{{#if:{{{header|}}}|
! Notice: {{{header}}}
{{!-}}
}}
|align="left"|{{{1}}}
|}

'''Note:''' Apparently unused. Not surprising, given how many specialized message boxes we already have. I really think that giant finger image needs to end up in ''some'' message box, even if this one ends up getting deleted.

Sonichu's children "are destined to be" orphaned? Sure, if you go by some sort of troll fanfic where they get run over by a lawnmower.

==Message Box Template Review==
What I'm trying to do here is go over the various message box templates and optimize them for quality. My concerns with the message box templates are as follows:

First, they're not really uniform in appearance. I think the Userboxes are a good model of what I want to accomplish here. The Userboxes aren't identical or anything, but they're all the same width, about the same height, use about the same image size, and most of them feature some sort of clever text and/or image related to CWC. By contrast, the article message boxes all vary in size, color, formatting, etc. Some of them use CWC-related images to humorous effect, some don't. Some don't use images at all. They serve their purposes, but I think many of them could use a makeover.

Second, I'd like to harmonize these things to use a single message box template. As it is, most of them were created independently of one another, which means that anyone trying to create a new message box is probably going to start from scratch. The whole point of templates is to save users the hassle of reinventing the wheel, so hopefully my work here will make the CWCki a little more efficient.

I've copied the templates' coding into this sandbox, so I can play with them without editing the real templates or disrupting the CWCki.

'''Notes''' Changed image to picture of Chris's Homemade Nintendo Power, since it's an apocryphal issue of the magazine. Not totally satisfied with that, but it's better than the Dead Sea Scrolls, I think.

'''Notes:''' I don't think this template is being used, which is a real shame, because it looks pretty swank and we could use a handy reference to the best articles.

I've added the rainbow [[Christmas]] star in place of the template's original gold star, and it looks awesome. Just to play around, I've also added a rainbow border to go with the star. Maybe it's too much, I don't know. The existing template has no width parameter, so for the time being, I'm giving it a width of 70%. I'll try that number for the other boxes and see how well that works.

{{quote|The reboot will happen in Book 11 with the Clip Show Episode; most questions will be answered and plots revealed.|[[Mailbag 51]]}}
'''''Sonichu'' #11''' is the twelfth comic in the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comic series]], dated 13 [[August 2009]]. The cover claims to be the tenth anniversary issue. (Ten years without a "cease and desist" letter from [[Nintendo]] or [[Sega]]!) However, Chris abandoned the issue in December 2009, months before the tenth anniversary of Sonichu's creation came and went on 17 [[March 2010]]. It remains incomplete to this day.

[[Chris]] began writing this issue while [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] was also in production, apparently to have somewhere to put the comic version of "[[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas Story]]". Christmas [[2009]] came and went, and Chris apparently forgot about this unfinished story with eight pages to go. In the meantime, he was still engrossed in tracing shit for his epic battle with [[Reldnahc]] and the anti-[[gay]] vaccine from the future.

[[Image:Virginmary.jpg|thumb|Take that, separation of church and state! Also: child molestation.]]
[[Image:Thisemotionyoucallwuvconfusesandinfuriatesus.jpg|thumb|She's addressing Chris.]]
In [[December 2009]], in response to requests for a ''Sonichu'' Christmas special, Chris began to create a comic adaptation of "[[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas Story]]", at the same time as he was working on the original prose version of the story. This marks the second time that Chris's [[Chris and writing|prose]] was adapted into comic form - the short story "[[Sonichu & Rosechu… The Genesis of the Lovehogs]]" served as the basis for Episodes 1 and 2 in [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]].

The comic opens to show Sonichu's family in various states of celebration for the Christmas season, with the house decorated for the holiday. For a wintertime scene, the lawn of 14 Brunchland Lane is impossibly green, while a bike is left out along the side of the house awaiting permanent rusting from the events to follow. This is because Chris [[Scrapbook of Fail|reused]] the [http://archive.cogsdev.org/cwcipedia/images/2/27/SchuComic9P34.jpg original 14 Brunchland Lane picture] seen in [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]] with half-assed editing of the clouds and sky to a dark blue color to reflect the nighttime, the removal of [[Reldnahc]] running down the road, and the addition of poorly-rendered Christmas lights and a wreath onto the house. Chris believes toddlers can do a lot, as Cerah, Christine and Robbie hang stockings, rehearse for the overtly Christian school play, and help bake cookies. At least one of them appears to be in elementary school, so Chris likely forgot how old they were supposed to be.

While rehearsing for a Christmas pageant at her school, Christine plagiarizes a joke from ''[[Family Guy]]'' when she ad libs that the Virgin Mary may not really have been a [[virgin]]. Sonichu and [[Robbie]] hanging stockings, and Robbie butchers a quote from a [[wikipedia:A Visit from St. Nicholas|holiday classic]]. After a long, boring conversation about what toys Robbie wants, the conversation finally ends with Sonichu giving a diabetes-inducing speech about loving his little angelic kids.

Meanwhile Rosechu and [[Cerah]] make cookies. Cerah makes a big deal about making a special cookie for a [[Jewish]] kid in an uncomfortably awkward attempt at sensitivity. The cookie, made in the vague shape of a candle, resembles nothing close to any Jewish symbol, making this seemingly benign gesture somewhat self-defeating. The cookie is vanilla-flavored, in case the Jewish kid has some kind of food allergy. Rosechu and Cerah do not consider that anyone other than Jews might have food allergies. Cerah says "I wuv you!" while facing away from her mother and directly at the reader, apparently breaking the fourth wall.

In the living room, Robbie and Cerah notice that it has begun to snow. As they watch, Sonichu and Rosechu discuss the weather forecast and decide to stock up on groceries while the roads are still clear. While Sonichu goes to the supermarket, Christine recites [[Wikipedia:Magnificat|Luke 1:45-55]] (which Chris types as Luke 1:46.5 - 55) while Rosechu watches and the children stare on with their soulless green eyes. Incidentally, this Bible verse mentions how [[GodJesus]] will reward the humble and [[Chris and his ego|punish the proud and the mighty]]. While this passage is commonly heard in Protestant churches, there's no way that any American public school in the 21st century could get away with anything this overtly religious without fear of legal reprisal.

Later, Sonichu returns home with groceries. His trip to the supermarket was uneventful and uninteresting.

The next morning, Sonichu and Rosechu sit in the kitchen drinking coffee. A [[KCWC]] announcer details [[CWCville]] school closings, and Sonichu expresses his anticipated enjoyment of a day spent with his family, hot [[tobacky|"coca"]] and a warm [[Axe|shower]]. Rosechu nags him to clear the snow burying their palatial residence, so Sonichu "bundles up for work." Noticing that all doors and windows are barred by mounds of snow, Sonichu decides to show off in front of his kids by jumping up the chimney like Santa Claus. Outside, he uses his super-speed to scatter the snow off of his yard. Exhausted, he then heads back into the house for [[Chris and health#Hygiene|a shower]]. Waiting patiently by the bathroom, Rosechu holds a hideous novelty Christmas towel and blesses him for doing five minutes' worth of chores.{{clear}}

===Controversial conclusion===
[[Image:Sonichu 11 Teaser.jpg|thumb|[[Alec Benson Leary]]'s rendition.]]
On 24 [[April 2010]], the Sysop uploaded two new episodes from ''Sonichu'' #11 to the [[CWCipedia]]. These stories picked up where [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] left off with a similar dark and downbeat tone: [[Bubbles]] and [[Angelica]] were killed in the bombing of the CWCville [[Mal-Wart]]; [[Sandy Rosechu]] was run over by an inattentive driver; [[Wild]] committed suicide in a fit of grief and rage; [[Christine]] and [[Robbie]] were killed and [[Cerah]] badly injured when the three of them drank drain cleaner; [[Rosechu]] smothered her permanently crippled daughter with a pillow; [[Sonichu]] demanded a divorce; and [[Reginald Sneasel]] decided to show the world his "seven-inch lightning rod."

Despite a surprisingly positive fan response to the new pages, Chris overwrote them a short while later, claiming in a rage-filled [[CWC Blog]] update that they were the work of another artist.

However, during The Great Rampage 2.0 (where the [[CWCipedia]] was hacked for the second and final time), the pages were restored. The CWCipedia died the next day.{{clear}}

==Later episodes==

The content of subsequent episodes can only be speculated on; doubtless, it will consist of the first thing that comes to Chris's head whenever he can be bothered to scrawl a few pages. [[Sonic]] appears prominently on the cover, making it probable that he will make his first appearance since he helped Sonichu rescue Rosechu way back in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]].

Chris has said that "''The reboot will happen in Book 11 with the Clip Show Episode; most questions will be answered and plots revealed.''"<ref>[[Mailbag 51]]</ref> This is almost entirely incomprehensible, as a [[Wikipedia:Reboot (fiction)|reboot]] is a declaration by a Great Director that previously established canon is null and void, or at least, irrelevant; a [[Wikipedia:Clip show|clip show]] is a TV episode composed mainly of excerpts from previous episodes; and neither of these correspond to answered questions or revealed plots. It's possible that by "Clip Show", Chris meant that ''Sonichu'' #11 would contain more [[Wikipedia:backstory|backstory]], while by "reboot", he meant that the existing "plot" would be [[Chris and writing|clumsily resolved in a couple of pages]].

Chris has also said, ''"[[Metal Sonichu|METAL SONICHU]] is NOT a secondary character; HE will be making his return as a MAJOR VILLIAN after Book 11 Possessed by the soul of Count Graduon."''<ref>[[CWC Blog#12 January 2010]]</ref> and ''"Count Graduon will be the Major Villain beyond ''[''Sonichu'' #10]'', possessing the [[Metal Sonichu]] that crashed on [[the moon]] back in [[Sonichu 1|Book 1]].''<ref>[[Wallflower E-mails]]</ref>

Jerkop

2011-01-21T10:18:07Z

Dethchemist77: Added some updated information, cited source on Jerkop uniforms, removed mentions of Manajerks, since they're not Jerkops.

{{quote|[[Mary Lee Walsh|That *&^%$]] SHATTERED MY HEART AND MURDERED MY SOUL. And it wasn't just her, the Policemen Imposters in Brown, White and Red, AKA The Jerkops (Blue and Black ARE the TRUE POLICE SOLDIERS) also seriously indented the impression that "[[Virgina is for Virgins]], NOT Lovers".}}

[[Image:146-Jerkop.jpg|thumb|A REAL AMERICAN HERO]]
A '''Jerkop''' is either a '''mall security guard''' or an "evil" '''police officer'''. The word itself is a portmanteau of "[[JERKS|JERK]]" and "cop." Female Jerkops are sometimes called '''Janekops'''.<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Private_villa_of_corrupted_citizens#Jerkops.2C_Janekops.2C_ATTACK.21]</ref>

In the [[comic|Sonichu comics]], Jerkops serve as the villainous private army of [[Mary Lee Walsh]], until Sonichu liberates them from Mary's control in [[Sonichu 10|Sonichu #10]]

==Appearance==
[[Image:Jerkops2004.jpg|thumb|left|Standard Jerkops watch [[Chris-Chan Sonichu|some shitty recolour]] levitate in a [[2004]] short]]

Jerkops typically resemble human beings wearing red, white, or brown police-style uniforms. Chris goes into greater detail in his "Backyard Safari" feature in [[Sonichu #4]]:

{{quote|Let's look at one on this illustration. Now here, we see its head is a basic human shape, but it only thinks evil and naughty thoughts. Note, its eyes are frowning; the[sic] stay that way 24/7. With this face, they rarely attract any women. This "badge" is a phony; it's really a cracker, covered in glitter-glue. It wards away all who approach it with its out-of-date breadstick. They wear basic black pants to cover their agil[sic], yet ugly legs; viens[sic], hair, and sores oh, my! Some, not all, wear a black gove[sic] to cover the spot where one finger fell of[sic] as it grew up. They wear brown shoes, because of their sausage feet.}}

Rank and file Jerkops are depicted as even more simplified than the other background characters in the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comics]]. Their legs are often held tightly together, as if they move via tiny wheels on the undersides of their feet. They have plain, curved, vase-like white bodies. Their female counterparts, Janekops, look about the same, except for their prominent breasts and neck-length hairstyles.

Chris would later elaborate on the Jerkop uniforms on [[CWCipedia]]. White uniforms were for low-class Jerkops, such as new recruits. Red uniforms were for an intermediate rank, possessing "Good Amount of Expierences and Combat Skills." Finally, brown uniforms were for the highest class, including Jerkheifs and Jerkop Daitenzen such as Bagget. <ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Private_villa_of_corrupted_citizens#The_Construction_of_the_PVCCitizens_Building]</ref>
{{clear}}

==Police?==
{{quote|And so, I urge you the citizens of CWCville to remember, with the police, only black and blue are true; all other colors are VICE!|Chris displays his irrational hatred of the Vice Squad, [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]], page 28}}

[[File:IwouldntfeelcomfortableMySpace.jpg|thumb|"Police-Women" on Chris's [[dating]] blacklist]]

While a common misconception is that [[Chris]] is essentially delivering a verbose "Fuck tha Police" through the Jerkop characters, he clarifies in [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu ''#5]] that [[Niggos|brown]] (mall security) is wrong, and the standard black and blue (police officer) are [[Honest Content|TRUE and HONEST]]. A lot of what Chris wrote about the Jerkops is a feeble effort to undermine the authority of private security staff by comparing them unfavorably with the police. So in mocking the Jerkops' "wooden badges" and hyping "the true police people", Chris ironically puts the police on a pedestal.

That said, Chris holds a very narrow attitude of what a "true" police officer is. When describing the origins of the Jerkops on CWCipedia, Chris again points out that they wore uniforms "OF COLORS OTHER THAN BLUE OR BLACK." This seems to be a major sticking point for Chris regardless of his past run-ins with the law. As far as he's concerned, the color of a cop's uniform is the sole benchmark of his authority, even though many police officers wear brown and white uniforms whether Chris approves or not. Whatever he was wearing at the time, [[Bagget|Marcus Baggett]] was definitely a real police officer when he arrested Chris in 2004. Nevertheless, Chris still lumped him into the same category as all the security guards who gave him a hard time. So, according to Chris, cops are only okay as long as they wear blue and black AND they don't try to arrest him for breaking the [[law]].

Of note, while [[CWCville]] has a police in department in ''Sonichu'', they rarely ever appear, except to support Chris and Sonichu while they defend the city instead. In [[Sonichu 5|Sonichu #5]] Chris dismisses them from the battlefield as soon as he arrives, and in [[Sonichu 9|#9]] they're only mentioned as part of the city's defenses. Finally, in [[Sonichu 10|#10]], Chris introduces Constables Lou Perez and Gerald Grant, when Magi-Chan sends them to check Inos into a soup hotel.{{clear}}

==Equipment==

{{quote|MY WOODEN BADGE WAS DELICIOUS|[[Jerkhief]], on his appetizer at [[Country Cookin]]}}

[[Image:Freudiangun.jpg|right|thumb|A pistol cleverly disguised as a [[penis|duck]].]]

Jerkops, in order to cockblock everyone, are equipped with faux badges, evidently made of crackers, [[Semen|glitter glue]], and treebark. What purpose these serve is unknown, as [[Chris|no one]] would be so [[Autistic|retarded]] to fall for such a shoddy disguise.

In terms of weaponry, most Jerkops carry an out-of-date breadstick, aka "a nightstick," pulled from nowhere. The Jerkops also used handcuffs on one occasion, althought this may not be standard issue. The [[Jerkhief]] carries a metal slingshot, aka "a handgun," and sometimes wears a metal suit. Bagget, Jerkop Daitenzen, weilds a sword, and his costume seems to protect him from the electric attacks of [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]].

The Jerkops also employ several [[Transformers|transforming robots]] for transportation and battle. These include "Punislavs", which transform into brown police cruisers, "Scoundrals as Vessels", which transform into armored S.U.V.'s, and "Crackders", which transform into dark blue jet planes. In particular, the Crackder model proved instrumental in Bagget's capture of Chris in [[Sonichu 4|Sonichu #4]].
{{clear}}

==Weaknesses==
[[Image:Cwckicktothenads.JPG|center|thumb|300px|This is how Chris deals with people who tell him to GTFO]]
As demonstrated above, the best way to reduce those who prevent you from violating the law to a quivering pile of jelly is [[CWC Fighter|a good kick]] in the balls, or as Chris calls it, the "Sourdough region." The lowest levels of Jerkop require only a single kick to this region, while higher-level Jerkops such as the [[Jerkhief]] may require as many as five kicks, because their fat absorbs the impact.

==Creation of a Jerkop==

According to the CWCipedia, Jerkops are normal men and women who ended up attending [[Mary Lee Walsh|Slaweel Ryam]]'s school, known as "Prowldent Virginia Community College," unknowingly. Upon entering the school for the first day, they are infected with "brainwashing powder" that subconsciously affects them. They can live normal lives, but once Slaweel has need for them, she'll activate the brainwashing, and the Jerkops will don their uniforms and go cockblock Chris.

As seen in Chris's [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 6: "Christian Chandler's Backyard Safari"|earlier documentation]],The Jerkops also make use of a "Hypno-Gun" to add to their numbers, since they have such a [[virgin with rage|hard time reproducing]]. In describing the hypno-gun, Chris made it very clear that the Jerkop brainwashing only worked on "[[slow-in-the-minds]]", and others of [[Christian Weston Chandler|lesser intelligence]]. It wasn't until [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]] where any mention was made of the idea of un-brainwashing the Jerkops, and even then Chris makes clear that his Electric Hedgehogs have managed to actually [[I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD|''kill'']] several of the completely innocent retards in their fights.

Whatever the previous method of un-brainwashing the Jerkops that Sonichu and company manage not to outright murder, it becomes a moot point in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], when [[Ultra Sonichu]] uses his [[GodJesus|nigh-omnipotence]] to supposedly cure all Jerkops everywhere forever.

Dethchemist77: /* The CWCki Quality Review */ Adding my two cents.

For discussion that doesn't fit into the other community pages - though do keep it related to the CWCki.

== Anonymax is hereby a CWCki admin ==

Because I am far too [[stress|STRESSED]] to constantly monitor CWCki like I use to, and because the CWCki has gotten larger, I hereby dub Anonymax a CWCki admin. May he use his powers for good, not evil. If you have problems, you can all <strike>stop bothering me</strike> bring your problems to him as well.--[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 20:10, 9 November 2010 (PST)

== A booru for CWC-related fan art ==

Hi guys. I'm here to ask you a simple question.

There's a site out there that allows you to create a free "booru". A "booru" is an online gallery that anyone of its members can contribute to. Another "booru" feature is tagging: e.g., if you add a "rosechu" tag to all pictures featuring Rosechu; then, if you search for "rosechu", you'll find every pic with the "rosechu" tag; etc. It's quite a useful thing. Examples of "boorus": Danbooru, Gelbooru, Paheal (aka Rule 34).

I can create a booru (on the site I mentioned) for CWC-related fan art, for CWCkians to browse and contribute to. The question is, are CWCkians interested in this? That's what I want you guys to tell me.

P.S.: Btw, there's a lot of fan art pics on CWCki, and most of them aren't used in actual articles. If such a booru were to exist, all these pics could be safely deleted from the CWCki database, I reckon. --[[User:GokuGetEm|GokuGetEm]] 11:01, 10 November 2010 (PST)

== Fan videos ==
I think we should limit the fan videos to 2 max per page, since thay are not really relevant and most of the time don't add much, take for example the "CWC fighter" page, currently it has 6 fan videos.--[[User:Basgon|Basgon]] 11:18, 12 November 2010 (PST)

== A counter for the main page ==

Since this is like the fifth time Chris has declared he's leaving the internet forever, do you think a counter could be added to DA Update? Like the old one which counted how many days he'd missed on his page a day schedule, it could count how many days he lasts before he uploads another video. Chris doesn't tend to last too long on these things but he did go for a month and a half over the summer without a video update and it might be interesting to see if he manages to beat his previous record. [[User:Whispsonichu|Whispsonichu]] 13:34, 22 November 2010 (PST)
:That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. --[[User:BreadGod|BreadGod]] 13:59, 22 November 2010 (PST)
{{:User:Anonymax/Quitcount}}
My initial idea for it. The tech for it works. --[[User:Anonymax|Anonymax]] 15:30, 22 November 2010 (PST)

*Oh wow, that looks really good. [[User:Whispsonichu|Whispsonichu]] 15:31, 22 November 2010 (PST)

I also have another suggestion to respectfully add to this. If the site has the available bandwidth and space, why not run a streaming news ticker across the front of the page under the CWCki banner, just before the main page articles? This is for when Chris "possibly" goes a longer length of time away from the internet. Say, 50 or 100 days goes by, it could say something like; "BREAKING NEWS: Chris has been away from the internet for 100 Days Now! A NEW RECORD!". Something to that effect, but I think that would be a fun idea. Maybe throw in some random quotes as well and factoids as well, much like the "Did you Know...", but do it as a streaming ticker. --[[Chris Pickles|Chris Pickles]] 00:12, 26 2010 (EST)

== working on the Sonichu comic articles ==
They are way too fucking long. They need to be shortened down. [[Sonichu 9]] for example. I mean fuck who is actually going to read that than just watch the audiobooks or some shit? -- [[User:Clydec|Clyde]] 10:40, 4 December 2010 (PST)

*I took a crack at the #9 article. I think the problem with the pages for #9 and #10 is that users were updating the article as Chris was updating the comics on CWCipedia. So the summaries read like shit because it was a bunch of people tacking their reactions everytime Chris added new pages. Hopefully [[Sonichu 9]] reads better now, even if it may not be short enough.[[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 17:18, 4 December 2010 (PST)

== Chris, the Master of Disguise ==

is it worth creating a page detailing all the times chris has gone "undercover"? like the kacey call, junior jenkins, the emails where he pretended to be a teenage girl or whatever, and any time he pretended to be an "evil troll". i think his bizarre attempts to act like another person and believe he's fooling everyone provide good insight into how his mind works and how he sees the world. plus it's funny as fuck -- [[User:Acousticvirgin|Acousticvirgin]] 15:53, 7 December 2010 (PST)
*I don't know. It sounds like a good idea with some potential....maybe we could make it a new addition of the Chris and Cosplay page? After all, that's what it is, in a sense.... --[[User:EdtheHedgehog1894|EdtheHedgehog1894]] 20:31, 7 December 2010 (PST)
**Junior Jenkins isn't Chris jackass. [[User:Canine|Canine]] 23:41, 17 December 2010 (PST)

== Hey, I'm lazy ==

Can someone make a PSN tracker template or some shit for the front page? Basically, people will keep an eye on Chris' PSN activities and update the template. So something like "DATE - Fatty uploaded a new cart to modnation racers. Go downvote it now!".

Or something. Whatever. [[User:Canine|Canine]] 15:57, 20 December 2010 (PST)
*I would refrain from using language like "fatty" and any concrete trolling plan in response but given the amount of time Chris spends on the PS3, it is worth documenting. There's a requested template award in for it.--[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 17:21, 20 December 2010 (PST)
*If only such a template existed/was updated regularly. It would be especially useful if it were updated by someone reliable, such as Clydec. [[User:Clydec/PS3_Tracker|I guess we'll just have to keep hoping]]. (It isn't a template though. FUCKING WRITE ON HIS TALK PAGE GOD DAMN). [[User:Freecell|Freecell]] 17:41, 20 December 2010 (PST)

== The CWCki Quality Review ==

I've gotten some complaints about the quality of the CWCki. Now I haven't really noticed anything super bad but this is something I hear from some people and I think that given the CWCki's second anniversary is coming up next week, we should have a frank open discussion about article quality and think of ways to address it.

I encourage everyone who uses the CWCki to offer their feedback so we can maintain the high quality standards we set for the CWCki.

So, I ask you all this - how is the CWCki doing? What do you think of article quality? How could it improve? --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 13:47, 18 January 2011 (PST)

:1) I think the top priority for the CWCki in Year Three is to organize the content we already have. [[User:MachPunch|MachPunch]] has been kicking ass sorting videos and saga-related content, and I think that's the sort of thing we need right now. For example, Chris was working on a ''novel'' last year, and most people probably forgot all about it, because the details are buried in the [[Wallflower E-mails]], instead of being presented in their own article. We have a lot of raw information here, and I think part of the CWCki's role should be to digest those primary sources, so a reader can get the highlights without having to pore over hours of chatlogs or sift through weeks' worth of e-mails. [[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 14:59, 18 January 2011 (PST)

:2) The second priority needs to be to crack down on namefaggotry going on around here. I don't object to personalizing one's user page, or using the user talk pages, but lately it feels like that's all some users do around here. The emphasis needs to be on the articles, not introducing yourself and your agenda to the community. Conversely, it annoys me when users add useless shit to articles, as if making any contribution at all increases their wiki XP or something. I'm thinking specifically of those dumb "reaction shot" images, but the same can be said for excessive piping, speculation, or anything where quality takes a back seat to quantity. In moderation, the reaction shot images could be funny, but mostly they just felt like someone was trying too hard. [[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 14:59, 18 January 2011 (PST)

Talk:Duck

2010-12-09T17:03:09Z

Dethchemist77:

Judging by the photos, I see a case of Peyronie's disease. [[User:BubblegumPinkButler|BubblegumPinkButler]] 06:12, 27 April 2009 (CEST)

It could also be a case of a broken penis; a blunt force injury to an erection. Judging from what the family finances seem to be, it could be that they just couldn't afford the surgery to fix it.--[[User:LizardPie|LizardPie]] 09:53, 12 May 2009 (CEST)

Maybe the ExtenZe has something to do with the whacked-out shape? It might exacerbate the problem at least. Jesus on the Christ River, that's a horrifying penis. [[User:Ensign disposable|Ensign disposable]] 04:30, 1 July 2009 (CEST)

I can agree to the Peyronie's explanation. Barbara and Bob were in their 40's and 60's (respectively) when Chris was born. Having a child at such a late age puts them at risk for a multitude of diseases and disorders. This could be the cause of the many syndromes and diseases that trols have diagnosed Chris with. --[[User:Howsyourham|Howsyourham]] 19:43, 12 July 2009 (CEST)

A botched circumcision may also lead to a bent penis, among other disfigurements. [[User:V3N0M1300|V3N0M1300]] 06:08, 13 August 2009 (CEST)

==Merge==
I suggest we merge Duck and Pickle into Penis. All of the CWCisms for [[China]] are on the same page. --[[User:Megaman|<font face="Impact" color="blue" size="2px">''Megaman!''</font> ]] [[Image:MegaManXRunning.gif]] 15:15, 29 July 2009 (CEST)
*Yes, they are both terms for penises but they're both distinct as well. Pickle has a rich history and is typically associated to penises drawn on his female characters while duck tends to be in reference to his own genitalia. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 23:36, 30 July 2009 (CEST)

:*In other words, it's advisable to keep the two pages separate. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 23:36, 30 July 2009 (CEST)

*Furthermore, the case with "china" is that the CWC-isms for "china" are isolated instances (one reference to "vaginatables" and one instance to "tom tom") that they really don't warrant their own pages. China only gets its own page because of the classic "DYKES DYKES CHINA!" and because it's been discussed in [[Sonichu 8]] that the Rosechu's genitalia is also known as a "china." The term "pickles" however, has frequent use and Chris seems to have a phobia of even pickles on his food (see episode 2 from [[Sonichu 0]] where Sonichu says how he hates pickles) and the receipt from when he went to visit Julie and ordered his food with no pickles, though he's also used "duck" several times in reference to his own genitalia, such as "MY DUCK HUNGERS FOR TOM-TOM TO POUND!!!!"

:So yeah, they really shouldn't be merged. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 09:53, 3 August 2009 (CEST)

Does he use the term "duck" in reference to his own "pickle"? It seems that way.

*Yeah, it seems that he's used "duck" only in reference to his own penis. That and/or the whole "pickle" meme from trolls (ex. drawing actual pickles on Rosechu) has caused Chris to hate pickles so much, he is afraid of even saying the world. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 23:36, 30 July 2009 (CEST)
:*Pickle and duck have both gained quite some cult-status separately from eachother. They also refer to different things. Also, they are different words in the CWCism-glossary. So I guess it shouldn't be too much of a problem to keep them as two different articles... [[User:RachmaninovDESU|RachmaninovDESU]] 02:54, 12 August 2009 (CEST)

==This page is getting convaluted==

We should probably stop with the extra pictures and quotes until the article is longer. --[[User:YawningSquirtleRedux|YawningSquirtleRedux]] 22:16, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

== Duck.jpg ==

I propose the removal of Duck.jpg [http://cogsdev.org/cwcki/File:Duck.jpg] because it isn't a fact. The peanut butter on the dick myth arose from a retard on ED [http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Talk:Chris-chan/Archive9#CHRIS_.28doesn.27t.29_COVER_HIS_DUCK_IN_PEANUT_BUTTER] who faked a conversation with Chris. [[User:CrassCrab|CrassCrab]] 19:26, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it should be removed but another thing that bugs me about this page is the Pic of Chris bent duck I know this page is meant for it but I just think its a eye sore, so would it be alright if it were put in box like the other pic of Chris's duck on the [[Sex]] page?--[[User:Kota88|Kota88]] 14:59, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
*I'm pretty sure it already was on the Sex page, but I had it removed from there already (See the talk page, my old username was Thelieisacake). Based on the discussion we had there, I think it's safe to say that nobody will complain if it's removed from here as well. I'll do it now. [[User:Freecell|Freecell]] 15:38, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

== Still relevant? ==

Has Chris even said 'duck' since [[Julie]]? - [[User:Liquid!|Liquid!]] 05:52, 9 December 2010 (PST)
:*[[SingStar_Challenge_Round_5#IBAChandler.27s_Initial_Entry|Yes]]. But even if he never says it again, we'd still need an article for it, right?[[User:Dethchemist77|Dethchemist77]] 09:03, 9 December 2010 (PST)

Beel

2010-12-08T21:33:38Z

Dethchemist77: Added backstory.

[[Image:Beel1.jpg|thumb|right|"Uh, Heil Hitler?"]]

'''Beel''' is the lobby receptionist for the [[4-cent_garbage.com]] Building prior to its destruction in [[Sonichu 10|Sonichu #10]] He is a red humanoid with devil horns and wings. Whether or not he is supposed to be [[Wikipedia:Satan:the Devil/Satan]], some minor demon, or simply a man who looks like a devil is uncertain. The name Beel is probably a wordplay on [[Wikipedia:Beelzebub|Beelzebub]], Hebrew בעל זבוב‎, ''Ba‘al Zəbûb'', "Lord of the Flies."

Beel is depicted as a large, muscular red demon wearing nothing but cut-off jean shorts, suggesting that his appearance was inspired by that of [[Wikipedia:List_of_supporting_characters_on_South_Park#Satan|Satan]] in ''[[South Park]]'', and possibly [[Wikipedia:List_of_The_Powerpuff_Girls_characters#Him|Him]] from [[Wikipedia:The Powerpuff Girls|''The Powerpuff Girls'']] (an effeminate antagonist with a red, devil-like appearance).

===Appearances in ''Sonichu''===
Beel's first appearance was as an unnamed receptionist in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]]. When [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]] arrived at the [[4-cent_garbage.com]] Building for their appointment with [[Jason Kendrick Howell]], he directs them to the top floor, which he idiosyncratically describes as "66+6". When Sonichu clarifies that this is simply the 72nd floor, Beel becomes annoyed and shoos the [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] on their way. Sonichu takes umbrage with Beel's unprofessional conduct, until Rosechu reminds him of the story of [[Wikipedia:Joseph (son of Jacob)|Joseph]].

Beel returned in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], this time serving in a more active role as [[Jason]]'s agent. When [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]] arrived at the 4-cent_garbage.com Building to destroy it, Jason trapped him in a cage, and Beel attempted to steal the [[Medallion]] from him, thinking it to be the source of his powers. However, to the surprise of everyone, Chris discovered that his powers in fact stem from his [[High School Ring]], which he uses to retrieve his Medallion. His powers restored, Chris fires a Hyper Beam at Beel and kills the demonic henchman.

However, Beel returns ten pages later to warn Jason that the building would soon collapse from the musical assault by [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]]. When Jason escapes and retires, Beel condemns two others, [[Clyde Cash]] and [[Jack Thaddeus]], for being [[homo]] [[trolls]], and takes shelter in the basement, leaving them to their fate.

===Backstory===
When Jack asks Beel how he survived Chris's Hyperbeam, Beel points out that working in the 4-cent_garbage Building is his personal hell, and so there's really nowhere else for him to go upon his death. According to Beel, he was condemned to work for 4-cent_garbage, and after it is destroyed, he will simply be reassigned to service [[Count Graduon]]. From this, it seems that Beel is cursed to walk the Earth for eternity as a lackey for one villain after another.

Beel also mentions (with regret) that he was once the "main assistant" to [[Wikipedia:Adolf Hitler|Adolf Hitler]]. It's unclear if he worked for Hitler as a demon, or if he was a high ranking Nazi who was later transformed into a demon. If so, this would mean Beel may be the tormented soul of someone in Hitler's inner circle, such as [[Wikipedia:Hermann Göring|Hermann Göring]] or [[Wikipedia:Joseph Goebbels|Joseph Goebbels]]. In any case, Beel's service to Hitler got him cursed to toil in the service of villainous groups like 4-cent_garbage.com. Even so, Beel still looks down on Clyde and Jack Thaddeus. So even though he's a Satanic Nazi troll, he is not ''quite'' as evil, in Chris's eyes, as two homosexuals.

===Possible gay subtext===
Beel's appearance is unavoidably homoerotic, due to being based on the gay Satan character from ''[[South Park]]'' and/or "Him" from ''The Powerpuff Girls''. Given Chris's repeated distaste for [[homos]], as well as male nudity in general, it is curious that he would be comfortable with this depiction. This may be Chris's ham-fisted attempt to literally demonize homosexuality, or the expression of his unconscious lust for big, half-naked, muscular men. Hell, just look at the guy:

Sonichu 8

2010-12-08T20:42:10Z

Dethchemist77: Made a few changes to the headers. Added some clear templates. Moved elevator gag section to 4-cent_garbage article.

{{Infobox/Comic

| episodes = 17-18
| sub-episodes = 3

| next = [[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]
}}{{Honest}}<br>

'''''Sonichu'' #8''' is the ninth comic in the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comic series]]. Based on the cover, this was originally planned as a [[Rosechu]] Spring Break special, featuring both [[Blanca Weiss]] and her character [[Jiggliami]] as introduced in [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]]. However, by August [[2008]], Chris's focus was entirely on the [[trolls]], and that greatly altered the shape of this issue.

Chris unveiled Episode 17 in September [[2008]] without having first completed the entire issue, in a break from the established tradition. Rather than featuring a Spring Break story, Episode 17 presents a story of [[Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]] fucking until they discover ''slanderous mislabelings'' on a website called [[4-cent_garbage.com]], whereupon [[Rosechu]] poses for nude photos of herself to prove that she doesn't have a penis. When Sonichu and Rosechu visit the 4-cent_garbage.com headquarters to confront the trolls, they are accosted by uncounted lurid images before meeting the wicked [[Jason Kendrick Howell]]. Howell refuses their demands and kicks Sonichu's ass easily; then Rosechu strips nude for the third time and shoves her cunt in Howell's face. The purpose of this story is unclear beyond Chris's need to express his incomprehensible feelings about the world around him.

In the end, the long-awaited Spring Break story would appear as Episode 18, although it would not be completed for several more months following [[Blanca]]'s betrayal of Chris, his subsequent depression, and the massive distraction provided by playing ''[[LittleBigPlanet]]''. Chris would not return to work on the comic until he was told of a boy named [[Ryan Cash]] who, despairing of ever seeing his beloved ''Sonichu'' comics again, committed suicide. Ryan's tragic story, and the sadness of his mourning brother [[Clyde Cash]], prompted Chris to redouble his efforts, and Rosechu finally got to go on Spring Break in the dead of winter. (Fun fact: Chris has never gone on Spring Break, has no interest in any of the activities that go on during Spring Break (with the exception of sex), and will never actually know what it's like.)

''Sonichu'' #8 proved to be highly controversial, primarily due to the hardcore sex scenes between Sonichu and Rosechu, who had previously been described as being 16 and 15, respectively. Chris rushed to include scenes in this issue that would firmly establish both characters as being of legal age to avoid accusations of child pornography.

==Development==
A few months prior to episode 18, several plot points were leaked in [[Chris Sex Logs|audio conversations]] Chris had with his then-sweetheart.
{{clear}}
==Public Service Announcement==
Before the prologue, Chris has a disclaimer where [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]] explain the morals of safe sex education. A horrifying sex scene was cut out.

The story opens with random proclamations from Chris:

*Sonichu turned 19 on March 17, [[2007]].
*Rosechu turned 18 on December 22, [[2006]].
*As of November 3, 2007, the pair have been living in a house in the suburbs of [[CWCville]]. The house has been fully paid for with [[Monthly tugboat|taxpayer dollars]] (although new Mayor [[BILLY MAYS]] may revise this item in the CWCville budget to fund smoking and drinking laws.).

Worth noting is that Sonichu and Rosechu's house is yellow and pink, just like its occupants.

Inside, Sonichu shows off his bare ass to the reader, while Rosechu emerges from the bathroom in pink lingerie. The pair engage in disgusting pre-coital banter, which may even be post-coital, since Rosechu suggests they just got done showering together. We also learn that Sonichu has a seven-inch (18 cm) cock, and requires "double-extra length" condoms for safe sex.

The two filthy, subhuman monsters engage in what they call "Missionary Cowgirl", apparently unaware that these are two completely different sexual positions. Sonichu responds by saying, "I think I can hotshot. Insert rod 'A' into slot 'B'." (The slot line is [[Things Chris has ripped off|borrowed]] from an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]''.)

In an illusory moment of mercy, Chris interrupts the action to discuss the nature of Sonichu and Rosechu's reproductive organs. In fact, the reader is subjected to a new kind of horror, as Chris clumsily attempts to explain how naked cartoon characters can have tits and balls. For the most part, Sonichu/Rosechu biology is a sick parody of human anatomy, with the following key distinctions:

*A Rosechu's vagina or "[[china]]" is normally hidden from view by some hideous flap of skin, which recedes during urination, sexual arousal, or a "[[I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD|psych-up]]" attack.
*[[Rosechu (species)|Rosechu]] nipples appear only when aroused, "for sensual massage". This would mean that Rosechus can only nurse their young when horny.
*Rosechus possess a "V-shaped pouch" behind their vaginal opening, which apparently serves the same function as a human uterus.
*A [[Sonichu (species)|Sonichu]]'s penis and testicles reside entirely within its abdominal cavity. While the testicles are permanently contained behind a "bone-like structure" for protection, the penis can emerge for urination or intercourse when the Sonichu leans forward, causing the erect penis to "slide out" purely by gravitational force. This presumably means Sonichu must be erect in order to urinate.
*Sex may be painful for Rosechu the first time, even causing her to bleed from her hymen, but it soon begins to feel like "a sensual massage."
*Sexually transmitted diseases are unheard of in the Sonichu/Rosechu population, which makes sense, given that there's fewer than twenty of the little freaks, and most of them were created abiogenetically.
*If impregnated, the resulting zygote is gestated within the mother Rosechu for "a few months," after which the Rosechu deposits an egg outside of her body, and must keep it warm until the infant [[Sonee]] or [[Rosey]] hatches. This reveals that all Rosechus are [[Wikipedia:monotremes|monotremes]] (egg-laying mammals).
Chris also declares that "most" STIs can be treated and removed, although it is unclear if he is referring to human STIs or bug-eyed furfag STIs. He refers the readers to local libraries and the internet for more information, and then returns to the hideous yiffing scene in the Sonichu household.

Chris treats the readers to a cock-eye view of Sonichu's penis falling out of his pelvis. As they 69 each other, Rosechu emits disgusting blue fumes from her ungodly orifice, which Sonichu appears to savor. Sonichu finally penetrates Rosechu with his sickening yellow member, and Chris depicts numerous scenes of past intercourse between the two wretched creatures. Grasping Rosechu's tail, Sonichu pounds away at Rosechu's gaping hole, until the two finally reach orgasm simultaneously.

[[Image:Rosechustrips1.png|thumb]]
[[Image:Bigboss.JPG|thumb|200px|right|"What a show!"]]
Twelve hours later, Sonichu seeks out even more putrid beast-sex from his sow, but Rosechu is too engrossed in her discovery of a website called [[4-cent_garbage.com]], which slanders the good names of not only Sonichu and Rosechu, but their father [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Christian Weston Chandler]] as well. Rosechu shows Sonichu various drawings of them and their friends (in fact, the [[Rule 34]] images Chris himself uploaded to [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]), and Sonichu mistakes them for photographs.

Rosechu goes on to show him the "apex" of the site, referring to numerous drawings of herself with male genitalia. Overcome with nausea, Sonichu vomits. Unable to distinguish fantasy from reality, Sonichu insists that Rosechu is female, and cites her photoshoot in ''PokéBoy'' magazine as proof of her gender. Thinking that the dickgirl pictures were created by mistake rather than malice, Sonichu suggests they "prove" Rosechu's womanhood to 4-cent_garbage.com's staff in person. He nearly faints with weakness, and Rosechu puts him to bed to sleep off the trauma of seeing cartoon penises on the internet.

Incensed, Rosechu decides to retaliate by producing her own amateur photoshoot and uploading it to [[4-cent_garbage.com]] to balance out the dickgirl artwork. Her efforts are fruitless, however, as even more Rosechu-with-penis drawings are uploaded all the time. Rosechu decides to consult [[Bubbles]] and [[Angelica]] for help.

At 1:45 that afternoon, Sonichu, Rosechu, and [[Wild Sonichu]] are teleported to the 4-cent_garbage.com Building in Clarksville, Tennessee, courtesy of [[Magi-Chan Sonichu]]. While Rosechu seeks to confront the [[Jason Kendrick Howell|head of the company]] and protest the website, Wild has been tasked with locating one of the [[Sonichu Balls]], which Magi-Chan detected inside (likely in some feeble attempt to tie this story into the overall plot). While Sonichu contacted the mysterious head of the company to make their appointment, the only name given was "Jason." In a pathetic attempt at subtlety, Chris depicts [[Thurston Howell III]] and his wife walking down the street to hint at Jason's full name.

For no reason whatsoever, Wild expounds upon his childhood, telling some shitty story about how his father, a [[Scyther]], was captured by poachers in the jungle. He makes clear that he intends to avenge his father's death, even though he hasn't done a damn thing about it since the comic started. Wild turns invisible (a skill he learned from a Porygon), and slips into the building.

Sonichu and Rosechu enter through the main door, and find a [[Beel|demonic receptionist]] in the hellish atrium of the building. He rudely directs Sonichu to the seventy-second floor (66+6). In the elevator, Sonichu angrily whines about the receptionist, until Rosechu reminds him of the [[story of Joseph]], and its moral of forgiveness.

As Sonichu and his pink cum-dumpster ascend the building in the elevator, they stop occasionally to check out the [[4-cent_garbage#The_elevator_gags|strange things happening on various other floors]]. Why Sonichu and Rosechu would stop at each floor to look at whatever's going on is never explained, but they clearly react to whatever they see, meaning that they must have pressed all the buttons on the elevator controls for no good reason. Much of the material featured in these pages were images lifted directly from [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], whether Chris understood their context or not.

On the thirty-sixth floor, Wild finds a Sonichu ball in an empty room. Holding both of his Balls somehow prevents Wild from using his invisibility power, or contacting [[Magi-Chan]] for extraction. Wild is left with no choice but to sneak out of the building on his own, which really isn't that big a deal, seeing as there are only three people in the whole place anyway.

On the seventy-second floor, Sonichu and Rosechu confront Jason, who introduces himself as a 20-year-old [[troll]], and his companion [[Kathleen Nicole Wallace]] as his "minory 17-year old woman," with whom everything he does is "illegal in these 50 states". When he bids the Electric Hedgehogs to state their case, Sonichu delivers a moving speech. Jason responds by saying that the page will stay up forever.

Enraged, Sonichu attacks Jason, but he is no match for the troll's awesome powers. Rosechu elects to withdraw, preferring to forgive Jason since there is no reasoning with him. The two leave with their arms around each other, and Chris interrupts the story to pointlessly explain how the two crimes against nature can touch each other's spiny backs without injury.

Adding insult to injury, Jason tosses a [[pickle]] at Rosechu, striking her on the back of the head. Pushed to the breaking point, Rosechu crushes the pickle, strips nude, and leaps into the air to attack Jason.

With ferocious roars, Rosechu lands pelvis-first on Jason's head, and wraps her tail and legs around his body, SHOVING his face up her [[China|vagina]]. With sadistic glee, she claws open his head and bites down on the wound, then unleashes a powerful burst of electrical power. Sonichu even says she "had him going." Pervert. Though dark forces somehow sustain Jason's life, he admits that the attack would have otherwise been fatal. Exhausted, Rosechu gathers her clothes, and leaves with Sonichu. While he is impressed with her display of raw fury, Rosechu is horrified at her primal rage, and makes some mention that she "transformed" into "[[The Incredible Lioness|some monster]]," expressing concern that "this thing" won't overtake her again. If Sonichu were a better comic, this might be interpreted as foreshadowing, but since it's Chris, there is a 99.9% chance that this will never be mentioned again.

Outside, the three Hedgehogs reunite, and [[Magi-Chan]] teleports them back to [[CWCville]].

===Epilogue===

Later, Rosechu hosts a gathering of other Rosechus to protest [[4-cent_garbage.com]] and uphold [[Women's Rights]] by producing pornographic photoshoots. In addition to [[Bubbles]], [[Angelica]], and [[Lolisa]], the group is joined by [[Simonla Rosechu]], who supplies the backdrops for the shoot and volunteers her services as a model. The group is also joined by [[Zapina Rosechu]], a fourteen-year-old loli who desperately wants to [[pedofork|"volunteer her services of cuteness"]] to the project and join in the strippin' fun. Citing "the dumb laws<ref>While many argue that Chris is referring to "dumb laws" against child pornography, it is plausible he's referring to "dumb" child labor laws which would prohibit Zapina from participating in setting up lights, cameras, etc. for the photo shoot. In any case, Chris thinks it's "dumb" that a fourteen-year-old can't work, sexually or otherwise.</ref>", Rosechu refuses her help, but Lolisa offers to supervise Zapina as she uses the light from her mutant ass to illuminate the photoshoot.

[[Image:LikeFatherLikeSon.jpg|thumb|right|Sonichu squeezes and kisses Rosechu and leaves her feeling [[Megan|extremely uncomfortable]]. Like [[Christian Weston Chandler|father]], like son!]]
Apparently ''still'' concerned that someone will accuse him of being a [[Pedofork]], Chris establishes ''yet again'' that his characters are of legal age, this time by actually showing the birthday parties held for most of the main cast since Episode 17. Rosechu turns 19 on December 22, 2007. The [[Chaotic Combo]] turn 19 on February 2, 2008. Sonichu turns 20 on March 17, 2008.

Finally, [[Black Sonichu]] celebrates his birthday in a private get-together with [[Bubbles Rosechu]]. Blake disputes that he even has a birthday, since he was cloned from Sonichu's [[Semen|DNA]] (and thus not born of a Rosechu's uterus, which is stupid because every other Soni/Rosechu were just shat out of a rainbow anyway). Bubbles, however, insists that he is a 20-year-old "starting straight with a 2-year old body". Bubbles asks Blake what he wished for and he says "It's already come true", where Chris is either butchering the classic teen film "Sixteen Candles" or the Family Guy parody of it. The two kiss, and Black Sonichu agrees to rendezvous with Bubbles at the CWCville Spring Break Concert on March 22.

Chris introduces Spring Break by ripping off a gag from a ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode, wherein Meg Griffin tries to ignore Spring Break by flipping channels, only to find that every station is covering Spring Break, including the news. Chris repeats the joke almost verbatim, except he [[fail]]s to include anyone actually watching the television, thus undermining the premise. The scene is best remembered for the appearance of ''[[Excel-Saga|FQX]]'' newswoman Greta Squall, a hideously deformed woman with club-like arms and scars on her face which look like the numeral "2".

The story proper opens with [[KCWC]] DJs [[Jamsta Sonichu]] and [[Lolisa Rosechu]] covering the event.

{{quote|We have a lot of great events and giveaways goin' on here today. Thank our mayor, Mr. [[Christian Weston Chandler]] that [[CWCville]] is a clean city; nobody has to go home drunk or somkey! We've got coolers and kegs full of our famously delicious [[CWC-Cola]], Diet CWC-Cola, Lemonade, Grape and Orange Soda, compliments of our local CWC-Cola Bottling Company, founded and opened proudly in 1985; three years after CWCville was founded by our mayor's father, [[Bob Chandler|Robert Franklin Chandler, Jr.]] You can enter to win a 40-inch Sony HD-TV from Cwick-Circuit City, or drive home in a shiny new '08 Chevy Camaro Concept. Also tonight, our rising star, [[Jiggliami]] will be singing her debut single, "War of Love" on the concert stage here at CWCville Beach. So stay tuned to CWCville, [[Virginia]]'s number 1 radio station for all this and a lot more!|Jamsta Sonichu, desperately craving nicotine and liquor}}

Almost immediately, Lolisa excuses herself to take a swim.

On the stage, Jiggliami and [[Blanca]] eagerly await their performance. As in their appearance in [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], both of them babble incoherently about their music. Blanca maintains that she will wait for Chris to return from the time void — ironic, since Blanca had betrayed Chris long before this episode was uploaded to the internet.

On the beach, the [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] enjoy themselves. Like Franklin from [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|''Peanuts'']], characters with suntans are depicted with vertical lines for shading. When Chris does it, though, it just looks like the characters are shaking uncontrollably, teleporting, or just soaked with [[comeuppance|jizz]]. While Sonichu heads off to surf, the Rosechus lie on the beach.

For no good reason, Bubbles explains that she has no need for sunscreen, because she is incapable of tanning and impervious to sunburn. This has something to do with her being a Water-type Pokémon, her body being composed of 90% water (which would be rather unstable in the first place), and her fur being capable of adapting itself to her surroundings. This would beg the question of how ''any'' Electric Hedgehog Pokémon can tan, being covered with fur as they are. Of course, in reality [[Honor roll|water does not have that effect on the ability to tan at all]].

The Rosechus notice a mysterious black Rosechu, and later catch up with [[Megagi]] and [[Bionic the Hedgehog]]. [[Sarah Jackson]] and [[PandaHalo]] make a cameo appearance as well.

Bubbles's sunbathing is interrupted when Magi-Chan contacts her to collect a Sonichu Ball from the ocean. Before she can get up to find the ball, Black Sonichu kicks sand on the girls. Rosechu threatens to attack him, but Bubbles offers to do it herself, and pretends to force Black Sonichu away from the others. While she and Blake seem determined to hide their relationship, Rosechu and Angelica secretly know the truth, and laugh at the transparency of Bubbles's ruse.

Chris incorporates a drawing of Sonichu surfing by PandaHalo, yet he manages to dick up the continuity by drawing in different colored water around the edges of the picture. Also, Sonichu wasn't wearing his shoes earlier, but Panda's drawing shows him wearing shoes.

Elsewhere on the beach, Bubbles tells Blake of her mission to find the Sonichu Ball, and they agree to meet at Pier 969 later for disgusting sex. Little do they know that the black Rosechu from before has eavesdropped on their conversation. As she transforms into a duplicate of Bubbles, Chris introduces her as [[Silvana Rosechu]] and explains that hers was the ''sixth'' egg that emerged from the [[Rainbow]] along with the five eggs that became the Chaotic Combo. Silvana's egg wound up on the Earth's moon, where [[Count Graduon]] somehow made telepathic contact with her in [[1980s#1989|1989]]. As Mewtwo mentored the infant Magi-Chan Sonichu, so did Graduon raise Silvana. In addition to training her in the ways of evil, Graduon "upgraded" Silvana to have both male and female genitalia, and enabled her to change her shape.

In the Atlantic Ocean, Bubbles searches for the Sonichu Ball, passing by fan-favorite character [[Yawning Squirtle]], among other crappily drawn Pokémon who sing the song "Under the Sea" from ''[[Things_Chris_has_ripped_off|The Little Mermaid]]'', yet another thing Chris has ripped off.

The Ball is claimed to be 5 miles (8 km) out to sea and 2,000-5,000 fathoms (2.3 - 5.7 mi / 3,700 - 9,100 meters) below the surface, which is impossibly deep for Bubbles to dive (the deepest point of the ocean is 6.8 mi / 10,900 meters). It's likely that Chris used "fathom" (6 feet / 183 cm) as a measurement of depth without bothering to find out how big a fathom was.

Meanwhile, Black Sonichu buys condoms in anticipation of the nasty, dirty animal sex he intends to share with his revolting mate. Silvana, posing as Bubbles, meets him, and convinces him not to wear a condom. Blake agrees, never suspecting Silvana's power to ejaculate a "paralyzing sleep solution" during intercourse. At Pier 969, Blake humps the foul creature, never suspecting that cock is ramming up against Silvana's own penis, which is perhaps withdrawn inside hir vagina. Blake passes out from the effects of Silvana's cum, and she teleports him to a closet in the CWCville Beach stage. From there, she returns to Pier 969 disguised as Black Sonichu, and lays the same trap for Bubbles. What she had actually intended to ''do'' after systematically seducing and subduing the various [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon|recolors]] is never elaborated upon.

Before Bubbles goes to the pier, she hands off the Sonichu Ball to Angelica to ferry back to [[CWCville Mall]]. As she flies off, [[Punchy]] and Wild discuss their sex lives. Punchy wants to bang Angelica, and Wild seems uncertain what to do about his own loneliness. The two resolve to enroll in a Dating Education course offered at CWCville University, thus setting up the [[Sonichu 9|next shitty issue]].
[[File:BubblesXSilvana.jpg|thumb|Silvana's eventual goal.]]
At Pier 969, Bubbles meets Silvana, but before she can present her hindquarters for vomit-inducing copulation, she receives a telepathic message from Magi-Chan, warning her of the impostor. Why Magi-Chan knows the difference, and why he didn't warn Black Sonichu of the same thing, is left to the reader's imagination. Bubbles is skeptical at first, but Jiggliami calls to inform her that she has discovered Black Sonichu in the stage closet. When Black Sonichu himself warns her of the danger, the stupid bitch finally begins to put two and two together. Bubbles exposes Silvana by asking her to attack her with Black Sonichu's electrical powers. Despite the fact that Transform grants the user the ability to mimic all moves known by the target, Silvana instead opts to use her own psychic attack to simulate Blake's power, but Bubbles knows the difference. Silvana reveals herself, and teleports away before Bubbles can avenge Blake's manhood. Horrified, she returns to Blake's side to comfort him.

That night, Jiggliami finally performs the damned song Chris had been promoting for four months. Chris credits Blanca Weiss for composing the lyrics on August 20, 2008, which contradicts the premise of Jiggliami performing the same song on March 22, 2008. Also, the song, "War of Love", makes no sense whatsoever, and resembles the sort of crap Chris writes all the time.

As an epilogue of sorts, Chris establishes that Blanca found "her boyfriend" and returned to her home state of Kentucky, despite previously establishing that she intended to wait for Chris to return from the time void. Acknowledging his own personal life, Chris briefly discusses the three [[Trolls|women]] he was involved with during the fall of 2008. Chris claims to have been uncertain about which one to pursue, and credits God and Jesus for eliminating two of them by having [[Optimus Prime]] kill [[Sarah Jackson]], and revealing the second to be in alliance with the trolls. Presumably, this is meant to refer to Blanca, even though Chris has depicted her as his girlfriend in this very story. The third woman, [[PandaHalo]], Chris declares to be his True Sweetheart, and the person he would promise his [[sex|first time]] to, although he would abandon her for dead within two months.

In a small note on the last page, Chris acknowledges the suicide of [[Ryan Cash]], and admits a modicum of responsibility for his death.

==Alternate versions==

When originally uploaded to [[Sonichu.net]], Chris offered multiple versions of the Episode 17, depending on which link the reader selected. These were based upon the ratings system used for television content.

[[Image:TVMA.jpg|48px|left]] '''TV-MA''': The uncut version of the comic. It was quickly unlinked from the site; however, all files still remained available.
{{Clear}}
[[Image:TV14.jpg|48px|left]] '''TV-14''': A censored version of the above comic. Mostly, this is accomplished by Chris putting photographs of bananas over Sonichu's dick, an orange over Rosechu's vagina, and blue stars on her nipples. Other objects are used throughout the issue to conceal nude pictures Chris took from [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]. These lousy edits can be seen [http://www.mediafire.com/?tt0s91mnmez here]
{{Clear}}
[[Image:TVY7.jpg|48px|left]] '''TV-Y7''': A version which omitted many pages of the original story. Chris appears to have created "Rage Against the Garbage" with these edits in mind, as the TV-Y7 pages are numbered normally, while the pages featuring nudity and sex were lettered (e.g. page 19-A, 19-B, etc.). As the sexual content in the story was gratuitous and pointless in the first place, removing it did little to harm the quality of the work, except that the plot is significantly altered. Since Rosechu's faceraping of Jason had to be removed, the TV-Y7 version implies that Sonichu and Rosechu left peacefully, never to revisit the matter again.

Chris would rearrange the content in the TV-14 version numerous times before finally settling on a single version of the story, with most of the nudity removed and Rosechu's facerape attack left in. The hedgehog porn was reportedly removed at the request of his parents, and Chris would later add a message to his site stating his solemn vow to never again depict his characters engaged in sexual activity. This promise was soon broken when Chris created [[Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack]] and snuck all of the deleted scenes there.

===The uncensored scenes===

By popular demand, here are the uncensored images from ''Sonichu'' #8, including the ones from Episode 17's prologue that now appear on [http://archive.cogsdev.org/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Biology CWCipedia's 'Biology' page underneath 'Reproductive Biology of Sonichu and Rosechu'].

4-cent garbage.com

2010-12-08T20:22:01Z

Dethchemist77: Expanded the article and added the elevator gag section so I could take it out of the Sonichu #8 page.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:4-cent_garbage.com}}
[[Image:4-cent garbage.png|thumb|INTERNET AUTISTIC HATE MACHINE]]
'''4-cent_garbage.com''' is Chris's representation of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] and [[4chan]]. Since he blames ED for [[Megan Saga|breaking up the closest thing to a relationship that he ever had]], he must naturally demonize it in his comics.

It is worth noting that this is the closest Chris has ever made it to creating an actual [[parody]].

==Inspiration==

In [[2007]], while innocently stroking his [[duck|ego]], Chris discovered [[ED]]'s page satirizing him and [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]]. What really [[Family Guy|ground his gears]] about the page was the "fan art" of [[Rosechu]] with a [[pickle|penis]]. Beginning 10 November 2007, Chris embarked on a quest to [[List_of_Christian's_edits_to_Encyclopedia_Dramatica|make the website less scathing]] by uploading hideously drawn [[rule 34]] of his little abominations (and [[Mary Lee Walsh]]), along with the infamous [[ShecameforCWC.JPG]] to his page.

How Chris first encountered 4chan is less clear. An [[White_knight_e-mails#November_2007_.E2.80.94_ED_alert|e-mail from a White Knight]] on 5 November 2007 attempted to alert him to the ED page, and referred to the article as being created and written by the same people making fun of Chris on 4chan's /v/ board. Whether he paid any attention to the message or not, what is known is that on [[List_of_Christian's_edits_to_Encyclopedia_Dramatica#November 2007|12 November 2007]], Chris first acknowledged 4chan when he made another edit to the "Chris-Chan" article:

{{quote|Christian Weston Chandler would like [[ED]] and [[4chan]] to know the following: '''I will continue to Shove The True Facts From My Heart and Soul Down Your Throats, only until you take this WHOLE PAGE Down For Good.'''}}

From this, it can be reasonably assumed that Chris discovered 4chan and ED around the same time, and that he considered the them to be essentially one and the same. Chris would continue his sisyphean edit war against ED well into 2008, but ultimately, all he succeeded in doing was to alienate [[Megan Schroeder]].

By August 2008, Chris was finishing [[Sonichu 7|Sonichu #7]], and he apparently felt the need to address these recent developments in the pages of his comic. Issue #7 opened with Megan as a supporting character in the story, but with the [[Megan_Emails,_2008#Megan_asks_Chris_to_leave_her_alone_again.2C_attempts_to_talk_sense_into_him|real Megan wanting nothing more to do with Chris]], he decided to write her out of the story. As for ED and 4chan, Chris would lump these two concepts together and dub them "4-cent_garbage_Magazine.com." The name is a slight mystery, because underscores (_) are not permitted in Internet domain names.

==Introduction: Sonichu #7==

Sonichu #7 was the first issue of the series to be influenced by Chris's interactions with online [[trolls]]. While Chris didn't finish the comic until 20 August 2008, the events of the issue are all set in 2 November 2007, one day before the ED article was created. Just as past issues of Sonichu were very loosely based on Chris's real life, he must have wanted to acknowledge the conflict with ED/4chan and his estrangement from Megan in #7. But all of that happened <i>after</i> 2 November 2007.

Chris's solution: The [[Time Void]] a poorly-defined realm where Chris's character would be trapped for the next two issues. While stranded in the Time Void, Chris would somehow experience events going on in his real life while the fictional events in the comics unfolded without him. Upon entering the Time Void, Chris found himself assaulted by "random... new memories... popping in... my head!" These were memories of things that happened after 2 November 2007, so Chris was essentially using the Time Void to "remember" the future. Along with fictional events like the [[Sonichu 9|Battle of CWCville]], Chris also experienced "memories" of [[Joshua Martinez]] setting him up with "[[Lori Lopez]]", and Megan "dumping" him via [[Megan_Emails,_2008#Megan_is_scarred_by_ShecameforCWC.JPG|e-mail]].

{{quote|Dumping me? But why?!! 4-cent_garbage_Magazine.com? Mocking me? Slanderous Filth?!!! A drawing of me and Meg-Chan... Intimate? And I drew that?!! She dumped me over that? Oh... that hurts! Still. Curse your 4-cent garbage!|Chris first mentions 4-cent_garbage in the Time Void|Sonichu #7}}

It became clear from this scene that once Chris escaped from the Time Void, he would do battle with 4-cent_Garbage as a proxy for ED and 4chan, just as he had battled [[Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] as proxies for those who interfered with his [[Love Quest]].

==Conflict with Sonichu and Rosechu: Sonichu #8==

[[Image:4-CENT-GARBAGE.jpg|thumb|Sonichu and his super cool pals in front of the 4-cent_garbage.com headquarters]]

In the first part of Sonichu #8, "Rage Against the Garbage", 4-cent_garbage was formally introduced as a villainous organization dedicated to slandering people for the sake of amusment. Rosechu discovers the site on 3 November, 2007, which just happens to be the date that [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] created the "Chris-Chan" article on ED. The site's content includes a page that slanders Sonichu, Chris, and her, along with "lifelike" drawings of Rosechu with a [[pickle]]. While Sonichu is overcome with the [[stress]] of seeing his mate depicted with a penis, Rosechu decides to fight fire with fire by editing the site, just as Chris had tried in real life. She crawls into her [[April 16 Fetish Vids|dirty, mildew-laden bathroom]] and takes pictures of herself in the nude, then uploads them onto the 4-cent website, an attempt which proved futile in countering the abundance of dickgirl images. But 4-cent_garbage simply adds more dickgirl pictures, and she realizes that her plan will never work.

Instead, she travels with [[Sonichu]] and [[Wild]] to 4-cent_garbage's headquarters in Clarksville, Tennessee, to confront the leader of the organization. While Wild sneaks into the building in search of one of the [[Sonichu Balls]], Sonichu and Rosechu take the elevator to the top floor, and meet [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] and his "womanslave" [[Kathleen Nicole Wallace]], who were introduced in Issue #7. The meeting is civil at first, but when Jason refuses to take down the "Chris-Chan" page, Sonichu tries to fight him, and loses. Rosechu fares better as [[The Incredible Lioness]], but the page is still up, and their mission is ultimately a failure.

==The Fall of 4-cent_garbage: Sonichu #10==
[[File:Jason's Hexbox.jpg|thumb|Jason plots against Chris with his [[HEXBox]]]]
Upon Chris's return from the Time Void on 9 August 2007, he immediately coordinates an attack on the 4-cent_garbage HQ, ordering Sonichu, Wild, [[Black Sonichu]], [[Punchy Sonichu]] and [[Son-Chu]] to meet him in front of the building. Chris arrives first as [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], and Jason and [[Beel]] lay a trap for him and try to steal his [[Medallion]]. However, Chris discovers that the TRUE AND HONEST source of his Anchuent powers is his [[high school ring]], which he uses to retrieve the Medallion and free himself.

Later, when Chris's allies arrive, he orders Son-Chu to transform into a sound stage for [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]]. Using his Guitar Hero guitar, Chris leads the band in a live performance of [[Revive Zordon]], and the intense power of their music begins to shake the building apart. Inside, Jason converts his throne into an escape pod, and flees with Kathleen, leaving the others behind. Jason declares that he is retiring from trolling, in order to settle down with Kathleen and live a normal life. Beel takes shelter in the basement, explaining that he will be reassigned to Count Graduon once the building has been destroyed. This leaves [[Clyde Cash]] and [[Jack Thaddeus]] alone on the top floor with no way out. Refusing to die at the hands of Chris, they choose to commit suicide by leaping together down the elevator shaft just as the building collapses.

Sonichu #10 reports that of the 1500 people who were in the building...
*500 were "[[Chris and reality|prefectly unharmed]]"
*250 were too drunk to escape on their own
:*125 of these drunk trolls managed to get out alive with help from sober trolls
:*125 of the drunk trolls were hurt, injured or killed.
*125 sober trolls were hurt, injured or killed
*250 others were injured
*150 others were "safe but hurt"
*100 were killed.

Note that this only accounts for 1375 people.

Despite destroying the building and killing at least 100 people, Chris calls for ambulances and he and his band helps rescue survivors. Afterward, he [[Chris and remorse|weeps for the victims of his own mass murder]].

Supposedly, destroying 4-cent_garbage's headquarters disabled its website as well, along with Encylcopedia Dramatica's website, such that both sites' data was irrevocably lost, and neither would ever be restored.

==The 4-cent_garbage Building==

4-cent_garbage appears to be a multimedia operation, with a website and possibly a print magazine operated from a brick-and-mortar building in Clarksville, Tennessee. The location of the building is probably intended to refer to where Jason Howell lives, or at least where Chris ''thinks'' he lives.

The 4-cent_garbage Building is 72 stories tall (66+6, as described by Beel), and the interior is painted bright red to resemble Hell. On the ground floor, Beel sits at the receptionist desk and directs visitors to an elevator on the far side of the atrium. Employees are seen on several higher floors drinking an alcoholic beverage called "REEB", and passing out on the floor when their shift is over. Their work seems to involve sitting at computer terminals, uploading and editing images of Chris and his characters.

On the 72nd floor, Jason Kendrick Howell holds court with his womanslave Kathleen at his side. It is unknown where Clyde Cash and Jack Thaddeus were stationed in the building, or what their jobs were before the building's destruction.

Security in the building was incredibly lax. Wild Sonichu turned invisible to sneak into the upper floors in search of a Sonichu Ball, only to find it left on a desk. Once he took the ball, his invisibility wore off, but he was still able to slip back out of the building unnoticed.

===The elevator gags===

[[File:SchuComic9Page19-B.jpg|thumb|What is this I don't even]]
[[File:SchuComic9Page19-C.jpg|thumb|That's right, the entire White House is on the 51st floor.]]
[[File:SchuComic9Page19-D.jpg|thumb|Chris's favorite pictures from ED]]
A large part of "Rage Against the Garbage" features Sonichu and Rosechu exploring different floors in the 4-cent_garbage Building. Why Sonichu and Rosechu would stop at so many different floors to look around at whatever's going on is never explained, but they clearly react to whatever is depcited, meaning that they must have pressed all the buttons on the elevator controls for no good reason.

This appaears to have been one of Chris's attempts to employ some of his trademark [[random-access humor]], by showing wacky stuff on each floor. Much of the material featured in these pages were images lifted directly from [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], whether Chris understood their context or not. In some strange attempt at foreshadowing, Chris located these images on ED and then put them on his user page while he was still trying to edit the site.

{{quote|You'll be seeing the following images AGAIN Soon Enough. |Christian Weston Chandler, on the images he put on his ED user page, which would later be used in ''Sonichu'' #8}}

Whatever his reasons, Chris seemed to believe that using images from ED in one of his comics would somehow be a big deal. The floors used in the comic are listed below, along with a description of what Chris put on each one.

*2nd floor: Chris draws 4-cent_garbage.com employees passing out drunk at their workstations. When the second shift comes to relieve the first, they begin drinking "[[Alcohol|REEB]]" while the first shifters lay unconscious on the floor.
*3rd floor: [[Pedofork|Pedobear]] in a bathtub with the Powerpuff Girls. Sonichu doesn't understand the joke.
*4th floor: Banner reading "I hate SMRS", a reference to "[http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Sonicrocksmysocks| Sonicrocksmysocks]", from the ED article of the same name.
*7th floor: A 4-cent_garbage.com employee works on a drawing of Rosechu with a dick. Rosechu angrily leaves the elevator to punch him in the face, shouting "I have a vagina, uterus, and ovaries, you freak!!!"
*8th floor: Sonichu spin dashes a 4-cent_garbage.com employee working on a picture of [[Mary Lee Walsh]], nude and leading Sonichu by a leash.
*9th floor: Sonichu and Rosechu electrocute an employee as he works on a picture of Sonichu sucking Rosechu's penis.
*10th floor: Chris emerges from the [[Time Void]] to attack an employee working on a picture of Chris using the [[Oversized Drinking Straw of Fail]]. Sonichu and Rosechu cheer him on in unison.
*11th floor: Troll parody of artwork by [http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Branca Branca], a batshit insane fan of the animated band Gorillaz.
*12th floor: Fan art of Knuckles as a gangster, surrounded by sexualized versions of female "Sonic" characters. Sonichu [[naïve|naïvely]] wonders when he became so popular.
*13th floor: Female versions of [[Sonic]], Knuckles, and Tails. Sonichu and Rosechu are dumbfounded.
*14th floor; Pedobear, depicted to resemble Phoenix Wright.
*21st floor: [[Wikipedia:The Bathers (Cézanne)|''Les Grandes Baigneuses'']] an 1887 painting by [[Wikipedia:Paul Cézanne|Paul Cézanne]]. ED has a copy of the image which has been edited with captions to reference the "Branca" article on ED.
*22nd floor: ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' Rule 34, from the ED article. Sonichu innocently considers it an impressive dark magic attack.
*23rd floor: An anthropomorphized Charmeleon with her arms handcuffed behind her back spreads her asscheeks, as if for sexual activity. More Rule 34 from ED's ''[[Pokémon]]'' article. Sonichu ignores the sexualized content, and boasts that he could easily defeat the Charmeleon. Well, duh, it's handcuffed.
*24th floor: Hate art of Snapesnogger's hermaphrodite naga character drawn by Zeriara.
*33rd floor: Rule 34 Art from ED's ''[[Transformers]]'' page.
*34th floor: [[Sonic]]/[[Amy Rose]] Rule 34. Sonichu cheers on his "pal" as they watch him have sex in a position very similar to the "missionary cowgirl" used by Sonichu earlier in the issue..
*35th floor: Nude artwork of [[Amy Rose]], Rouge the Bat, and Cream the Bunny. Sonichu and Rosechu shout "Holy Crap!" in unison.
*36th floor: Strip poker game featuring various female characters from [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]. The image has been adapted into a parody of a ''Magic: The Gathering'' Card.
*51st floor: The entire White House, with John McCain, Sarah Palin, and Hillary Clinton, looking on while [[Barack Obama]] paints the wall black. [[George W. Bush]] cheerfully knocks his eventual successor off his ladder. Sonichu and Rosechu offer no discernible reaction. Chris notes that his father [[Bob Chandler]] came up with this "joke." Recall that this story is set in the fall of ''2007'', so the joke really makes no sense for that year.
*61st floor: Erotic artwork of Dot Warner, from ''Animaniacs''.
*62nd floor: Erotic artwork of Lois Griffin, from ''[[Family Guy]]''.
*63rd floor: Erotic artwork of Marge Simpson, from ''[[The Simpsons]]''.
*64th floor: Rule 34 of Misty and a Starmie, from ''[[Pokémon]]''. Sonichu and Rosechu make out during this and the preceding three floors.
*69th floor: Image of "XBOX 360-ko", an anime-style character patterned after design elements of the XBox 360. As the following floor features an XBOX360 console being destroyed, Chris includes a disclaimer, stating that his hatred of the [[HEXBox]] should not be connected to any lingering resentment of women.
*70th floor: Drawing by Chris of an Xbox 360 console being chopped in half with a meat cleaver. Sonichu and Rosechu applaud the instrument's destruction. The imagery is a clear indication that Chris secretly desires to murder women.
*71st floor: [[PS3]] message congratulating whoever murdered the HEXBox. It states that you may "now play your PlayStation 3 or Nintendo Wii in peace", as though the existence of a single XBox somehow interfered with such activity.

===Business and Staff===
{{quote|I am a troll with no such beliefs, I know that we are born, then we die. I intend to make the most of my pitiful life by tormenting every person within my grasp until they all die from the shame and the distress of their existance. The page will stay up; this meeting is over!|Jason Kendrick Howell, responding to Sonichu's request to remove the "Chris-Chan" page|Sonichu #8}}

4-cent_garbage does not appear to have any clear marketing objective. While this may seem like an oversight on Chris's part, it may well be a genuine commentary on the pointlessness of 4-chan and ED's activities. While most people would consider them to be entertainment sites, with no other purpose than to provide humor or diversion, Chris obviously doesn't find them funny, and so he depicted 4-cent_garbage as a tower of bullies, mass-producing cruelty for its own sake. In the comic, Jason says his only goal in life is to hurt as many people as he can before he dies. While he may have only been speaking for himself, this seems to be the ''raison d'être'' for everyone else who works there.

In Sonichu #10, Beel explains that "this trolling gig is my hell", suggesting that he has been condemned to work there, possibly because he had once been "main assistant to Adolf Hitler". Unable to die, Beel would simply be damned to serve yet another villain, [[Count Graduon]], once the 4-cent_garbage Building was destroyed.

While Clyde Cash had been depicted in [[Sonichu Special 1]] as an agent of [[Mary Lee Walsh]], he appears to also support 4-cent_garbage in some capacity. This may not be a contradiction, as the exact relationship between 4-cent_garbage and [[PVCC]] is never explained.

{{quote|THUNDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!|Excerpt from substandard bootleg [[Sonichu Episode 1 Official Audiobook|audiobook]]}}

== Let's Go, Ghostbusters, Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go! ==
Doo-doo-doo-do-wee-oo-oo-doo-doo-doo!

==FAQ==

'''Q:''' How do you know what's going on in the comic?

[[Image:Chris-Sonichu.jpg|thumb|200px|Typical scene from <i>Sonichu</i>]]
'''A:''' I only applied for the narrator gig because the old narrator (a man among men) was so damn good at it, and I couldn't bear the thought of the Audiobooks coming to an end. So basically, I wanted to make sure the new Audiobooks were done the way he would do them. That means describing <i>everything</i> that goes on, no matter how stupid and nonsensical it may seem. The genius of the old narrator was that he played it totally straight, reading Chris's horrible dialogue word-for-misspelled-word, and acting like it's perfectly reasonable for an ancient Cherokee to have blue eyes and wear Romanesque garb.

With that in mind, the only challenge is figuring out what the hell is going on. It'd be kind of funny to break character and go "You know what, I have no idea what's happening here." But that'd get old very quickly. So if I'm really stumped, I just guess, confident that no one else can decipher the artwork either. The part in [[Sonichu 3]] where Bubbles saves her mother with an Ice Beam, I'm only assuming whatever I said in the Audiobook version. We only know the Swampert was in danger, and Bubbles used an Ice Beam or Freeze Ray or some shit to save her. The only one who can really dispute my script is Chris himself, and as the Videobooks demonstrated, even he barely knows what's going on.

Usually, I can make an educated guess. As bad as Chris's artwork is, he makes a token effort to include whatever's supposed to be there to communicate the action. If Sonichu punches Mary Lee Walsh in the ass, he'll draw Sonichu's arm and some purple thing that's supposed to be Mary's dress, and maybe the caption "*ASSRAMMER ATTACK*", and I've learned to pick up on those visual cues. I'm guessing the old narrator used the same trick, because I don't see how else you could do it. If it's vague enough, I just go for whatever's funnier, like assuming that when a bad guy gets shocked it kills him.

At one point I actually e-mailed Chris for clarification. This was for Sonichu's homophobic rant in [[Sonichu 9]], where he hits the wall of his garage and causes a shelf to fall. At the time, everyone was confused about what was on the shelf. I had a pretty good guess, but I decided to check with the man himself. Chris confirmed that it was just a couple of potted plants and a bottle of detergent, but around that time he was getting pretty bitchy towards the Audiobooks, so I went with my original decision to call it a bottle of anal lubricant.

Later on in the same story, Chris posted that battle between Bionic and Naitsirhc, where Bionic does something with a wrench (?) and Naitsirhc shits himself. I e-mailed Chris again to find out what the hell Bionic was doing, and also to find out how Naitsirhc could project a stream of shit through his pants. This was the day I found out Chris had blocked me on his e-mail.

Other than that, I just make it up when I'm really confused. Usually, though, there's enough clues to come up with something.

'''tl; dr:''' I just make it up.

==To Do==
===Lrnin 2 Template PHASE II===
Now that I've got the bulk of the templates in [[:Category:Templates]] sorted into subcategories, I can start organizing priorities a little better.

*<s>'''Make sure ALL templates are included somewhere in the Templates category.'''</s>

*<s>'''Go over [[:Category: Icon Templates]].'''</s>

*'''Determine fate of [[:Category:CWCki templates]]'''. This appears to have been a catch-all category before we really had a lot of templates. The items in the category don't seem to have much in common. Should we keep the category, and add other relevant templates to it? Or should we delete the category, and reassign its contents to the other categories? I can't decide this unilaterally, since [[Template:Clear]] is locked, meaning I can't re-categorize it myself.

*'''Put malfunctioning templates in [[:Category:Broken Templates]]'''. I don't want to get stuck fixing templates, especially if no one is using them. The work I did on [[Template:Mbox]] is starting to feel like a waste, because it seems to require the creation of several other templates to function, and all it does is help us create message boxes. Meanwhile we already have like a billion boxes on this site already, (all created without Mbox) so what's the point? It may have some value later on, but for now it's not worth the trouble.

*<s>'''Purge the Cwcki of [[Template:Email]], [[Template: EmailReply]], and [[Template:Quote3]].'''</s> Holding off on this one until I get a handle on which one stays and which one should go.

*'''Nominate unused templates for deletion'''. See below for the ones I'm eyeing for Grade F Destruction.

*'''Determine if [[Template:Mbox]] is worth using.''' Wikipedia uses the Mbox template to standardize many, many message boxes used on a wide variety of pages and page types. For some reason, it matters to them whether the box is formatted a certain way when it appears on a talk page versus an article. Meanwhile, I can't even tell the difference. Meanwhile, the CWCki's message boxes were apparently created from scratch, and we're not nearly as big an outfit as Wikipedia, so maybe that's the right way for us to be doing things. Alternately, a "stripped-down" Mbox might be better. I'm thinking something with the same parameters but fewer options and permutations.

*'''Harmonize the Message boxes''' That said, I can see the advantage to using a single template to harmonize the various message boxes. [[Template: Improve]] bears absolutely no resemblance to [[Template: Apocrypha]], and neither of them looks anything like [[Template: Unfinished]]. I think that's due to an ED influence, so maybe that's what we prefer, but I think we would do well to use a standard style like the [[:Category:Userboxes]]. At some point, I'd like to go through the message boxes and make them all follow some basic rules:
::1. Chris/Sonichu-related picture in the box. (File:Motherland calls.jpg looks great, but it should be shooped to look like Chris's mom)
::2. Somewhat consistent size/color scheme.
::3. Fairly witty message. "Please improve this article by doing (X)" is bad, "Do (X) NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!" is good.

:Some of the templates meet these criteria, while others only go halfway. I love the [[Template:Deletion]] message, but why doesn't it have a picture of the moon? It should. In any case, [[Template:Mbox]] might be helpful with this project, if I can get it to work.

===Template Hit List===
These are templates I think may need to be nominated for deletion.
*[[Template:Quote3]] It's basically Template:EmailReply and Template:Quotebox, except no one uses it.
*[[Template:Miscreants]] I'm assuming if any Miscreants actually wanted to use this template, they would have by now.
*[[Template:Tlx]] Wikipedia explains what this template does, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what good it is. If someone can explain it, please enlighten me.
* More to come.
