&lt;br /&gt;
'''The GAMe PLACe''' is a comic-book, game, card, toy, and hobby shop in [[Charlottesville]]. For several years, up until the summer of [[2008]], Chris hung out there on a regular basis, going there every Friday without fail to play the ''[[Pokémon]]'' and ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' [[card games]]. The shop hosted the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon_Organized_Play#Pok.C3.A9mon_TCG_Leagues|Pokémon TCG League]] where Chris served as a self-proclaimed volunteer gym leader (though he was not endorsed in any way, and was largely simply tolerated by the store).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a long period of scaring off customers and being a confrontational douche, Chris was permanently kicked out of the store by one of the managers, [[Michael Snyder]], on 28 [[August 2008]]. Since then, Chris has attempted several times to regain access to the store, to no avail thanks to Michael's insistence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==People of note==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris originally met [[Megan Schroeder]] at The GAMe PLACe in [[2005]], where they bonded over their shared interest in Yu-Gi-Oh! Megan continued to hang out at the shop even after her friendship with Chris [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|collapsed]] in the spring of [[2008]], although their relationship by that point was strained to say the least. Once she broke off all contact with Chris, she did her best to ignore him entirely when they were at the store at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other two best-known patrons of the shop, aside from Chris himself, are [[Daniel Mimms]] and [[Lucas]]. The two friends are the primary source of most of what is known about Chris's behavior at The GAMe PLACe (and most of the information in this article), which they revealed during a detailed [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A|Q&amp;amp;A session]] on the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (message board)|PVCC forums]]. They're also famous for having taken and uploaded the first photograph of Chris to reach the internet, which Mimms snapped and Lucas uploaded to [[4-cent_garbage.com|4chan]] in the fall of [[2007]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Michael Snyder]], one of the store's managers (he isn't the owner, though he's sometimes mistakenly described as such) would eventually become one of Chris's real-life nemeses when he kicked Chris out of the store in the summer of 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris.27s_ban_from_the_store|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris's ban from the store]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris's attitude at The GAMe PLACe==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sonichupunch.jpg|thumb|left|Chris acting his age.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TonyTyAndBriana.jpg|thumb|Some regulars.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In his early days at The GAMe PLACe, Chris's behavior seems to have been more &amp;quot;childlike,&amp;quot; for lack of a better word. According to Mimms, who was a regular at the store for the entire time Chris hung out there, Chris avoided using foul language when he first started gaming at the store.&amp;lt;ref name=homo&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Racism_and_homophobia|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Racism and homophobia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also never failed to show up for Pokémon games in his old [[Chris_and_fashion#Cosplaying_Chris|Ash Ketchum costume]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The costume was eventually retired, however (by the time of the 2007 photo, Chris was showing up in his usual colorful clown shirts and sporting the [[Sonichu medallion]]), and Chris's behavior grew more aggressive and vulgar over the years. According to Mimms and Lucas, Chris often became angry at his card-game opponents, even small children. An [[Megan_Emails,_Aug-Dec_2007#Megan_is_pissed_that_Chris_is_nosing_in_her_business|October 2007 e-mail]] from Megan mentions an incident where Chris was extremely threatening and insulting to a guy whom he thought was putting the moves on his gal-pal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mimms recounted a few instances of Chris displaying his dislike and distrust of black people. He was openly suspicious of the young black kids he played Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh with, apparently because he thought they were going to make off with his cards.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Initial_post|Mimms &amp;amp; Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Initial post]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chris also nearly managed to earn himself a beating from an older black gamer by the name of TJ:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris yells at him, &amp;quot;I'm going to smack your effing face down!&amp;quot; and TJ stands up like hes going to beat his ass. Chris shrinks back and and says &amp;quot;I mean your face down monster...&amp;quot;|Mimms, [[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, Chris's homophobia occasionally surfaced while he was hanging out at the shop. A gay regular at the shop by the name of Eric was the target of mockery and threats from Chris (although Mimms noted that, for obvious reasons, Chris wasn't likely to ever do him any great physical harm).&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt; Chris also assumed that two of the shop's regulars were gay because they happened to exchange a few jokingly romantic remarks — his literal mind took that as proof that they were a couple.&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris the [[card games|TCG]] gamer==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:409-CWCWeekP3.jpg|thumb|Chris stares down his youthful opponent.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris was pretty awful at all the games he played.|Mimms, summing up Chris&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Follow_up|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} Though he apparently spent plenty of money buying new cards at the store,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris_as_a_customer|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris as a customer]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and built them into a sizable collection of themed decks, Chris didn't have any aptitude for deck-building or strategy in the Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh trading-card games. Even when playing against small children, he rarely won games or advanced in tournaments, although Mimms recounts one occasion where Chris managed to win a match on a day when most of the regular players were absent, and proudly hollered &amp;quot;I'M THE LEVEL-UP KING!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris often declares that he was a gym leader in the store's Pokémon league (an older player who manages tournaments, keeps track of wins and losses, and so forth). It's mentioned on his [[Chris's resume|resume]], for instance, and he talks about it in the [[Father Call]]. However, his memory has apparently inflated his role considerably. &amp;quot;He wasn't actually a gym leader,&amp;quot; says Mimms, but rather a substitute who took the place of the regular gym leader on a few occasions. He also wasn't very good at the job, reportedly becoming angry and snapping at the players he was supposed to be taking care of.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt; This earned him his first ban from the store, lasting a month, which according to Lucas began on 4 April 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To Chris's very slight credit, Mimms says he did resist using his custom Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards in actual games.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt; Mimms and Lucas also noted that he played the [[Card games#UFS_(Ultimate_Fighting_System)_TCG|Universal Fighting System card game]], often playing &amp;quot;bimbo&amp;quot; characters such as Cassandra from the ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' series and [[CWC Fighter|Chun-li]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The GAMe PLACe photograph==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Chrischannov2007.jpg|thumb|right|Blurry because [[Mimms]] was trying to be covert]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2007, Chris discovered the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] page devoted to him. There, he also discovered a blurry photograph of himself, which had been taken and posted to 4chan by Mimms and Lucas respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though he'd already pretty thoroughly blown a gasket over the ED page, Chris went even crazier trying to discover the identity of the photographer. In an e-mail to [[Anna McLerran]] from [[November 2007]], he mentions pestering the staff of The GAMe PLACe to go through their anti-theft camera footage to find out who had taken the photo.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Chris_E-mails_2007#November|Chris e-mails: November 2007]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (Unsurprisingly, they weren't very cooperative.) According to Mimms, Chris complained about the photo and the ED page so loudly and frequently at the store that the management eventually threatened to kick him out if he didn't stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris also complained to his mother, who apparently became as angry or more so. At one point, early in November, Chris's parents visited the store and interrogated Mimms as to the origin of the photo. After Mimms admitted that he had snapped the picture (but feigned ignorance as to how it found its way onto the internet), they threatened to take legal action, but never actually did so.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's &amp;quot;investigations&amp;quot; continued off and on for months after he originally found the picture. In an e-mail to Megan (sent in [[March 2008]] and oddly situated in between desperate apologies for the porn he drew of her), he recounts an indirect confrontation with Lucas at The GAMe PLACe on 8 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|So it brought up to mind my first word being &amp;quot;Monkey&amp;quot;, so I told Mimms that. And with a turn around towards the accompanying Lucas, I said in his direction, &amp;quot;Well, that's something new you didn't know about &amp;quot;be-4&amp;quot; about this &amp;quot;Chan&amp;quot;. I noticed a look on his face like, &amp;quot;Wow, I can totally wail on that tidbit of information.&amp;quot; He said nothing.|Chris's idea of subtlety, from the [[Megan_Emails,_2008#Chris_emails_her_some_detective_work.2C_Megan_likely_doesn.27t_give_a_shit|Megan e-mails]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Lucas gave his own interesting take on the story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|The funniest part about that is that I have no recollection of him saying that to me whatsoever. I had no idea I was even a suspect until I saw that email.|Lucas, [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Trolling_Chris_at_the_Game_Place|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris gets the boot==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's behavior offended the store's management in a number of ways. Aside from punting his gym-leader duties, scaring the small children he played card games with, picking fights with other players, and generally being a racist and homophobic creep, he would truck his video game consoles into The GAMe PLACe and take over the shop's flat-screen TV for considerable amounts of time, loudly sang along to [[Britney Spears]] during games, pitched fits inspired by his hatred of the [[Hex Bawx]] in public, and so on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trigger for his permanent ban in [[August 2008]] was a shouting match with a young black kid. That particular incident was merely the straw that broke the camel's back, though — &amp;quot;Mike was looking for any reason to ban him at this point,&amp;quot; says Mimms.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Predictably, Chris did his best to resist getting kicked out of the store. He brought his parents in to argue his case with Michael Snyder, to which Michael responded by calling the [[police]]. Despite a fierce response from [[Barbara Chandler]], Chris and his family failed to move either Michael or the cops, and every indication is that Chris will never be allowed back into the store.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Jackie e-mails]], Chris offers his own chronology and version of events. There, he claims that he was thrown out of the store much earlier than Mimms indicates, in June 2008. The so-called &amp;quot;Wii Incident&amp;quot;, according to Chris, was when Michael Snyder forced Chris to stop bogarting the TV for his Wii. Doing this apparently caused a number of children to miss out on obtaining a few trade-only evolution Pokemon. Chris got angry and wrote a letter, sign, or simply scrawled a note on the side of a card box stating &amp;quot;Michael Snyder Loves the &amp;quot;Fiddlesticks&amp;quot; out of Mary Lee Walsh&amp;quot;. This, Chris claimed, was Michael's last straw and he booted him then. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the CWCipedia article for Megan Schroeder, Chris claims that Megan was there the day he was banned and claimed that she just stood there in shock, refusing to speak up for him. In reality, of course, she was simply disgusted by his behavior like any rational person would have been and relieved that his being kicked out of the store would be the last time Chris would ever be in her sight&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Megan_Schroeder&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Also, she refused to defend Chris not because of shock, but because of his sexual harassment, [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|destruction of her dignity]], anger issues and &lt;br /&gt;
overall immaturity, ultimately cementing the fact that nobody wants Chris to ever return to the store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unbanning attempts==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Episode200Comment.PNG|thumb|Chris recounts flipping Michael Snyder the bird.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has repeatedly attempted to overcome his ban and gain readmission to the store. As mentioned in [[Chris_E-mails_2008#July|a July 2008 e-mail]], Chris sent a letter to Michael Snyder shortly after his initial one-month ban. In [[March 2009]] he attempted to apologize in the best way he knew how: [[Apology to Game &amp;amp; Hobby Place|posting a video to YouTube on the off-chance the individual addressed would see it]]. This was [[Chris and remorse|not the most sincere apology in the world]], since Chris made it clear in a [[I_Am_The_TRUE,_Original_CCWC|later video]] that he doesn't really understand why he was thrown out in the first place. A month later, in [[April 2009]], Chris attempted to sneak into the store, but when a cashier recognized him and caught him, Chris ran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost two years after his initial ban from The GAMe PLACe Chris would try again to get the ban lifted. In the Jackie emails Chris reveals that he attempted to go to The GAMe PLACe after church on 11 [[April 2010]]. When one of the cashiers saw Chris and recognized him, he threatened to call the cops. Chris got angry and bolted. The next day Chris visited the store again to talk to Michael Snyder in an attempt to have the ban removed. However, the visit did not turn out in Chris's favor, as [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|the audio from the incident]] shows. Michael refused to revoke the ban (later noting on YouTube, that Chris was actually reading the apology from a pre-written script&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&amp;amp;v=u_p6bShW97Y YouTube comment by Mike]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) and Chris took this about as well as could be expected; he flipped Michael off,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWq4pB_Vikw YouTube comment by Chris]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; yelled &amp;quot;JEW!&amp;quot; at him, and left the store in a huff. [[Chris and the law|The police were called]] about the incident, according to Mimms, but Chris was already long gone by the time they arrived; whether the police's involvement will continue remains to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Chris uploaded the audio of the incident to [[YouTube]], accompanied by a description soliciting harassment and &amp;quot;trolling&amp;quot; of Michael and his fellow employees. However, it was removed from the site in a matter of hours due to a &amp;quot;Terms of Use Violation&amp;quot;. Considering [[Chris and race|Chris's anti-Semitic remark]] directed at Michael, his invitation for others to harass him, and the possibly illegal nature of the recording, it's easy to see why it was pulled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has never fully understood why he was kicked out of the store. According to Mimms, Chris didn't see what was wrong with his behavior at the time,&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt; and he evidently hasn't reflected on the subject much in the intervening years. During the April 2010 visit to the store, the only possible grounds for his ban he could remember was the aforementioned &amp;quot;Wii incident.&amp;quot; Later, when he posted an ad on CWCipedia complaining about Snyder's refusal to lift the ban, Chris appeared to believe that the store manager refused to let him in because he hated him personally and [[Kick the Autistic|people with autism in general]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Chris's continued failure to overturn the ban, it is clear that his chances of winning entry to The GAMe PLACe are almost as remote as the chances of his [[duck]] entering [[China]].&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Charlottesville Incident==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 4 [[June 2010]], Chris visited The GAMe PLACe. [[6 June 2010|He claimed]] that he wanted to take a photograph of Snyder to use as a dartboard, but when Snyder saw him with his camera outside, he chased Chris. Chris claimed that he tried to drive away but was accosted by Snyder, his daughter and the police. Snyder's version was more succinct:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Christian is in my parking lot right now being grilled by [[jerkop|the police]]. He took pictures of my daughter and tried to run me over with his [[car]]. they witness this, and I bet they still do nothing about it.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The police listened to Chris rant about the trolls for a while and eventually sent him home with a warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Chris often declares that he was a gym leader in the store's Pokémon league (an older player who manages tournaments, keeps track of wins and losses, and so forth). It's mentioned on his [[Chris's resume|resume]], for instance, and he talks about it in the [[Father Call]]. However, his memory has apparently inflated his role considerably. &amp;quot;He wasn't actually a gym leader,&amp;quot; says Mimms, but rather a substitute who took the place of the regular gym leader on a few occasions. He also wasn't very good at the job, reportedly becoming angry and snapping at the players he was supposed to be taking care of.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt; This earned him his first ban from the store, lasting a month, which according to Lucas began on 4 April 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To Chris's very slight credit, Mimms says he did resist using his custom Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards in actual games.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt; Mimms and Lucas also noted that he played the [[Card games#UFS_(Ultimate_Fighting_System)_TCG|Universal Fighting System card game]], often playing &amp;quot;bimbo&amp;quot; characters such as Cassandra from the ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' series and [[CWC Fighter|Chun-li]].&lt;br /&gt;

==The GAMe PLACe photograph==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Chrischannov2007.jpg|thumb|right|Blurry because [[Mimms]] was trying to be covert]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2007, Chris discovered the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] page devoted to him. There, he also discovered a blurry photograph of himself, which had been taken and posted to 4chan by Mimms and Lucas respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though he'd already pretty thoroughly blown a gasket over the ED page, Chris went even crazier trying to discover the identity of the photographer. In an e-mail to [[Anna McLerran]] from [[November 2007]], he mentions pestering the staff of The GAMe PLACe to go through their anti-theft camera footage to find out who had taken the photo.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Chris_E-mails_2007#November|Chris e-mails: November 2007]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (Unsurprisingly, they weren't very cooperative.) According to Mimms, Chris complained about the photo and the ED page so loudly and frequently at the store that the management eventually threatened to kick him out if he didn't stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris also complained to his mother, who apparently became as angry or more so. At one point, early in November, Chris's parents visited the store and interrogated Mimms as to the origin of the photo. After Mimms admitted that he had snapped the picture (but feigned ignorance as to how it found its way onto the internet), they threatened to take legal action, but never actually did so.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's &amp;quot;investigations&amp;quot; continued off and on for months after he originally found the picture. In an e-mail to Megan (sent in [[March 2008]] and oddly situated in between desperate apologies for the porn he drew of her), he recounts an indirect confrontation with Lucas at The GAMe PLACe on 8 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|So it brought up to mind my first word being &amp;quot;Monkey&amp;quot;, so I told Mimms that.

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris gets the boot==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's behavior offended the store's management in a number of ways. Aside from punting his gym-leader duties, scaring the small children he played card games with, picking fights with other players, and generally being a racist and homophobic creep, he would truck his video game consoles into The GAMe PLACe and take over the shop's flat-screen TV for considerable amounts of time, loudly sang along to [[Britney Spears]] during games, pitched fits inspired by his hatred of the [[Hex Bawx]] in public, and so on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trigger for his permanent ban in [[August 2008]] was a shouting match with a young black kid. That particular incident was merely the straw that broke the camel's back, though — &amp;quot;Mike was looking for any reason to ban him at this point,&amp;quot; says Mimms.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Predictably, Chris did his best to resist getting kicked out of the store. He brought his parents in to argue his case with Michael Snyder, to which Michael responded by calling the [[police]]. Despite a fierce response from [[Barbara Chandler]], Chris and his family failed to move either Michael or the cops, and every indication is that Chris will never be allowed back into the store.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Jackie e-mails]], Chris offers his own chronology and version of events. There, he claims that he was thrown out of the store much earlier than Mimms indicates, in June 2008. The so-called &amp;quot;Wii Incident&amp;quot;, according to Chris, was when Michael Snyder forced Chris to stop bogarting the TV for his Wii. Doing this apparently caused a number of children to miss out on obtaining a few trade-only evolution Pokemon. Chris got angry and wrote a letter, sign, or simply scrawled a note on the side of a card box stating &amp;quot;Michael Snyder Loves the &amp;quot;Fiddlesticks&amp;quot; out of Mary Lee Walsh&amp;quot;. This, Chris claimed, was Michael's last straw and he booted him then. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the CWCipedia article for Megan Schroeder, Chris claims that Megan was there the day he was banned and claimed that she just stood there in shock, refusing to speak up for him. In reality, of course, she was simply disgusted by his behavior like any rational person would have been and relieved that his being kicked out of the store would be the last time Chris would ever be in her sight&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Megan_Schroeder&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Also, she refused to defend Chris not because of shock, but because of his sexual harassment, [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|destruction of her dignity]], anger issues and &lt;br /&gt;
overall immaturity, ultimately cementing the fact that nobody wants Chris to ever return to the store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unbanning attempts==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Episode200Comment.PNG|thumb|Chris recounts flipping Michael Snyder the bird.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has repeatedly attempted to overcome his ban and gain readmission to the store. As mentioned in [[Chris_E-mails_2008#July|a July 2008 e-mail]], Chris sent a letter to Michael Snyder shortly after his initial one-month ban. In [[March 2009]] he attempted to apologize in the best way he knew how: [[Apology to Game &amp;amp; Hobby Place|posting a video to YouTube on the off-chance the individual addressed would see it]]. This was [[Chris and remorse|not the most sincere apology in the world]], since Chris made it clear in a [[I_Am_The_TRUE,_Original_CCWC|later video]] that he doesn't really understand why he was thrown out in the first place. A month later, in [[April 2009]], Chris attempted to sneak into the store, but when a cashier recognized him and caught him, Chris ran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost two years after his initial ban from The GAMe PLACe Chris would try again to get the ban lifted. In the Jackie emails Chris reveals that he attempted to go to The GAMe PLACe after church on 11 [[April 2010]]. When one of the cashiers saw Chris and recognized him, he threatened to call the cops. Chris got angry and bolted. The next day Chris visited the store again to talk to Michael Snyder in an attempt to have the ban removed. However, the visit did not turn out in Chris's favor, as [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|the audio from the incident]] shows. Michael refused to revoke the ban (later noting on YouTube, that Chris was actually reading the apology from a pre-written script&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&amp;amp;v=u_p6bShW97Y YouTube comment by Mike]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) and Chris took this about as well as could be expected; he flipped Michael off,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWq4pB_Vikw YouTube comment by Chris]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; yelled &amp;quot;JEW!&amp;quot; at him, and left the store in a huff. [[Chris and the law|The police were called]] about the incident, according to Mimms, but Chris was already long gone by the time they arrived; whether the police's involvement will continue remains to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Chris uploaded the audio of the incident to [[YouTube]], accompanied by a description soliciting harassment and &amp;quot;trolling&amp;quot; of Michael and his fellow employees. However, it was removed from the site in a matter of hours due to a &amp;quot;Terms of Use Violation&amp;quot;. Considering [[Chris and race|Chris's anti-Semitic remark]] directed at Michael, his invitation for others to harass him, and the possibly illegal nature of the recording, it's easy to see why it was pulled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has never fully understood why he was kicked out of the store. According to Mimms, Chris didn't see what was wrong with his behavior at the time,&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt; and he evidently hasn't reflected on the subject much in the intervening years. During the April 2010 visit to the store, the only possible grounds for his ban he could remember was the aforementioned &amp;quot;Wii incident.&amp;quot; Later, when he posted an ad on CWCipedia complaining about Snyder's refusal to lift the ban, Chris appeared to believe that the store manager refused to let him in because he hated him personally and [[Kick the Autistic|people with autism in general]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Chris's continued failure to overturn the ban, it is clear that his chances of winning entry to The GAMe PLACe are almost as remote as the chances of his [[duck]] entering [[China]].&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Charlottesville Incident==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 4 [[June 2010]], Chris visited The GAMe PLACe. [[6 June 2010|He claimed]] that he wanted to take a photograph of Snyder to use as a dartboard, but when Snyder saw him with his camera outside, he chased Chris. Chris claimed that he tried to drive away but was accosted by Snyder, his daughter and the police. Snyder's version was more succinct:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Christian is in my parking lot right now being grilled by [[jerkop|the police]]. He took pictures of my daughter and tried to run me over with his [[car]]. they witness this, and I bet they still do nothing about it.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The police listened to Chris rant about the trolls for a while and eventually sent him home with a warning.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris would rarely ever shake anyones hand after a game, and when he did, he quickly followed up with hand sanitizer.|[[Mimms]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The GAMe PLACe''' is a comic-book, game, card, toy, and hobby shop in [[Charlottesville]]. For several years, up until the summer of [[2008]], Chris hung out there on a regular basis, going there every Friday without fail to play the ''[[Pokémon]]'' and ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' [[card games]]. The shop hosted the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon_Organized_Play#Pok.C3.A9mon_TCG_Leagues|Pokémon TCG League]] where Chris served as a self-proclaimed volunteer gym leader (though he was not endorsed in any way, and was largely simply tolerated by the store).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a long period of scaring off customers and being a confrontational douche, Chris was permanently kicked out of the store by one of the managers, [[Michael Snyder]], on 28 [[August 2008]]. Since then, Chris has attempted several times to regain access to the store, to no avail thanks to Michael's insistence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==People of note==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris originally met [[Megan Schroeder]] at The GAMe PLACe in [[2005]], where they bonded over their shared interest in Yu-Gi-Oh! Megan continued to hang out at the shop even after her friendship with Chris [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|collapsed]] in the spring of [[2008]], although their relationship by that point was strained to say the least. Once she broke off all contact with Chris, she did her best to ignore him entirely when they were at the store at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other two best-known patrons of the shop, aside from Chris himself, are [[Daniel Mimms]] and [[Lucas]]. The two friends are the primary source of most of what is known about Chris's behavior at The GAMe PLACe (and most of the information in this article), which they revealed during a detailed [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A|Q&amp;amp;A session]] on the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (message board)|PVCC forums]]. They're also famous for having taken and uploaded the first photograph of Chris to reach the internet, which Mimms snapped and Lucas uploaded to [[4-cent_garbage.com|4chan]] in the fall of [[2007]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Michael Snyder]], one of the store's managers (he isn't the owner, though he's sometimes mistakenly described as such) would eventually become one of Chris's real-life nemeses when he kicked Chris out of the store in the summer of 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris.27s_ban_from_the_store|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris's ban from the store]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris's attitude at The GAMe PLACe==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sonichupunch.jpg|thumb|left|Chris acting his age.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TonyTyAndBriana.jpg|thumb|Some regulars.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In his early days at The GAMe PLACe, Chris's behavior seems to have been more &amp;quot;childlike,&amp;quot; for lack of a better word. According to Mimms, who was a regular at the store for the entire time Chris hung out there, Chris avoided using foul language when he first started gaming at the store.&amp;lt;ref name=homo&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Racism_and_homophobia|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Racism and homophobia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also never failed to show up for Pokémon games in his old [[Chris_and_fashion#Cosplaying_Chris|Ash Ketchum costume]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The costume was eventually retired, however (by the time of the 2007 photo, Chris was showing up in his usual colorful clown shirts and sporting the [[Sonichu medallion]]), and Chris's behavior grew more aggressive and vulgar over the years. According to Mimms and Lucas, Chris often became angry at his card-game opponents, even small children. An [[Megan_Emails,_Aug-Dec_2007#Megan_is_pissed_that_Chris_is_nosing_in_her_business|October 2007 e-mail]] from Megan mentions an incident where Chris was extremely threatening and insulting to a guy whom he thought was putting the moves on his gal-pal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mimms recounted a few instances of Chris displaying his dislike and distrust of black people. He was openly suspicious of the young black kids he played Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh with, apparently because he thought they were going to make off with his cards.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Initial_post|Mimms &amp;amp; Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Initial post]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chris also nearly managed to earn himself a beating from an older black gamer by the name of TJ:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris yells at him, &amp;quot;I'm going to smack your effing face down!&amp;quot; and TJ stands up like hes going to beat his ass. Chris shrinks back and and says &amp;quot;I mean your face down monster...&amp;quot;|Mimms, [[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, Chris's homophobia occasionally surfaced while he was hanging out at the shop. A gay regular at the shop by the name of Eric was the target of mockery and threats from Chris (although Mimms noted that, for obvious reasons, Chris wasn't likely to ever do him any great physical harm).&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt; Chris also assumed that two of the shop's regulars were gay because they happened to exchange a few jokingly romantic remarks — his literal mind took that as proof that they were a couple.&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Chris's behavior offended the store's management in a number of ways.

According to the CWCipedia article for Megan Schroeder, Chris claims that Megan was there the day he was banned and claimed that she just stood there in shock, refusing to speak up for him. In reality, of course, she was simply disgusted by his behavior like any rational person would have been and relieved that his being kicked out of the store would be the last time Chris would ever be in her sight&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Megan_Schroeder&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Also, she refused to defend Chris not because of shock, but because of his sexual harassment, [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|destruction of her dignity]], anger issues and &lt;br /&gt;
overall immaturity, ultimately cementing the fact that nobody wants Chris to ever return to the store.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Episode200Comment.PNG|thumb|Chris recounts flipping Michael Snyder the bird.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has repeatedly attempted to overcome his ban and gain readmission to the store. As mentioned in [[Chris_E-mails_2008#July|a July 2008 e-mail]], Chris sent a letter to Michael Snyder shortly after his initial one-month ban. In [[March 2009]] he attempted to apologize in the best way he knew how: [[Apology to Game &amp;amp; Hobby Place|posting a video to YouTube on the off-chance the individual addressed would see it]]. This was [[Chris and remorse|not the most sincere apology in the world]], since Chris made it clear in a [[I_Am_The_TRUE,_Original_CCWC|later video]] that he doesn't really understand why he was thrown out in the first place. A month later, in [[April 2009]], Chris attempted to sneak into the store, but when a cashier recognized him and caught him, Chris ran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost two years after his initial ban from The GAMe PLACe Chris would try again to get the ban lifted. In the Jackie emails Chris reveals that he attempted to go to The GAMe PLACe after church on 11 [[April 2010]]. When one of the cashiers saw Chris and recognized him, he threatened to call the cops. Chris got angry and bolted. The next day Chris visited the store again to talk to Michael Snyder in an attempt to have the ban removed. However, the visit did not turn out in Chris's favor, as [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|the audio from the incident]] shows. Michael refused to revoke the ban (later noting on YouTube, that Chris was actually reading the apology from a pre-written script&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&amp;amp;v=u_p6bShW97Y YouTube comment by Mike]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) and Chris took this about as well as could be expected; he flipped Michael off,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWq4pB_Vikw YouTube comment by Chris]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; yelled &amp;quot;JEW!&amp;quot; at him, and left the store in a huff.

&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Chris uploaded the audio of the incident to [[YouTube]], accompanied by a description soliciting harassment and &amp;quot;trolling&amp;quot; of Michael and his fellow employees. However, it was removed from the site in a matter of hours due to a &amp;quot;Terms of Use Violation&amp;quot;. Considering [[Chris and race|Chris's anti-Semitic remark]] directed at Michael, his invitation for others to harass him, and the possibly illegal nature of the recording, it's easy to see why it was pulled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has never fully understood why he was kicked out of the store. According to Mimms, Chris didn't see what was wrong with his behavior at the time,&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt; and he evidently hasn't reflected on the subject much in the intervening years.

&lt;br /&gt;
With Chris's continued failure to overturn the ban, it is clear that his chances of winning entry to The GAMe PLACe are almost as remote as the chances of his [[duck]] entering [[China]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:GamePlace2.jpg|thumb|Another angle, revealing The GAMe PLACe to be adjacent to a Staples store]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris would rarely ever shake anyones hand after a game, and when he did, he quickly followed up with hand sanitizer.|[[Mimms]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The GAMe PLACe''' is a comic-book, game, card, toy, and hobby shop in [[Charlottesville]]. For several years, up until the summer of [[2008]], Chris hung out there on a regular basis, going there every Friday without fail to play the ''[[Pokémon]]'' and ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' [[card games]]. The shop hosted the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon_Organized_Play#Pok.C3.A9mon_TCG_Leagues|Pokémon TCG League]] where Chris served as a self-proclaimed volunteer gym leader (though he was not endorsed in any way, and was largely simply tolerated by the store).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a long period of scaring off customers and being a confrontational douche, Chris was permanently kicked out of the store by one of the managers, [[Michael Snyder]], on 28 [[August 2008]]. Since then, Chris has attempted several times to regain access to the store, to no avail thanks to Michael's insistence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==People of note==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris originally met [[Megan Schroeder]] at The GAMe PLACe in [[2005]], where they bonded over their shared interest in Yu-Gi-Oh! Megan continued to hang out at the shop even after her friendship with Chris [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|collapsed]] in the spring of [[2008]], although their relationship by that point was strained to say the least. Once she broke off all contact with Chris, she did her best to ignore him entirely when they were at the store at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other two best-known patrons of the shop, aside from Chris himself, are [[Daniel Mimms]] and [[Lucas]]. The two friends are the primary source of most of what is known about Chris's behavior at The GAMe PLACe (and most of the information in this article), which they revealed during a detailed [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A|Q&amp;amp;A session]] on the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (message board)|PVCC forums]]. They're also famous for having taken and uploaded the first photograph of Chris to reach the internet, which Mimms snapped and Lucas uploaded to [[4-cent_garbage.com|4chan]] in the fall of [[2007]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Michael Snyder]], one of the store's managers (he isn't the owner, though he's sometimes mistakenly described as such) would eventually become one of Chris's real-life nemeses when he kicked Chris out of the store in the summer of 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris.27s_ban_from_the_store|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris's ban from the store]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris's attitude at The GAMe PLACe==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sonichupunch.jpg|thumb|left|Chris acting his age.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TonyTyAndBriana.jpg|thumb|Some regulars.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In his early days at The GAMe PLACe, Chris's behavior seems to have been more &amp;quot;childlike,&amp;quot; for lack of a better word. According to Mimms, who was a regular at the store for the entire time Chris hung out there, Chris avoided using foul language when he first started gaming at the store.&amp;lt;ref name=homo&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Racism_and_homophobia|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Racism and homophobia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also never failed to show up for Pokémon games in his old [[Chris_and_fashion#Cosplaying_Chris|Ash Ketchum costume]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The costume was eventually retired, however (by the time of the 2007 photo, Chris was showing up in his usual colorful clown shirts and sporting the [[Sonichu medallion]]), and Chris's behavior grew more aggressive and vulgar over the years. According to Mimms and Lucas, Chris often became angry at his card-game opponents, even small children. An [[Megan_Emails,_Aug-Dec_2007#Megan_is_pissed_that_Chris_is_nosing_in_her_business|October 2007 e-mail]] from Megan mentions an incident where Chris was extremely threatening and insulting to a guy whom he thought was putting the moves on his gal-pal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mimms recounted a few instances of Chris displaying his dislike and distrust of black people. He was openly suspicious of the young black kids he played Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh with, apparently because he thought they were going to make off with his cards.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Initial_post|Mimms &amp;amp; Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Initial post]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chris also nearly managed to earn himself a beating from an older black gamer by the name of TJ:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris yells at him, &amp;quot;I'm going to smack your effing face down!&amp;quot; and TJ stands up like hes going to beat his ass. Chris shrinks back and and says &amp;quot;I mean your face down monster...&amp;quot;|Mimms, [[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, Chris's homophobia occasionally surfaced while he was hanging out at the shop. A gay regular at the shop by the name of Eric was the target of mockery and threats from Chris (although Mimms noted that, for obvious reasons, Chris wasn't likely to ever do him any great physical harm).&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt; Chris also assumed that two of the shop's regulars were gay because they happened to exchange a few jokingly romantic remarks — his literal mind took that as proof that they were a couple.&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris the [[card games|TCG]] gamer==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:409-CWCWeekP3.jpg|thumb|Chris stares down his youthful opponent.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris was pretty awful at all the games he played.|Mimms, summing up Chris&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Follow_up|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} Though he apparently spent plenty of money buying new cards at the store,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris_as_a_customer|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris as a customer]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and built them into a sizable collection of themed decks, Chris didn't have any aptitude for deck-building or strategy in the Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh trading-card games. Even when playing against small children, he rarely won games or advanced in tournaments, although Mimms recounts one occasion where Chris managed to win a match on a day when most of the regular players were absent, and proudly hollered &amp;quot;I'M THE LEVEL-UP KING!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris often declares that he was a gym leader in the store's Pokémon league (an older player who manages tournaments, keeps track of wins and losses, and so forth). It's mentioned on his [[Chris's resume|resume]], for instance, and he talks about it in the [[Father Call]]. However, his memory has apparently inflated his role considerably. &amp;quot;He wasn't actually a gym leader,&amp;quot; says Mimms, but rather a substitute who took the place of the regular gym leader on a few occasions. He also wasn't very good at the job, reportedly becoming angry and snapping at the players he was supposed to be taking care of.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt; This earned him his first ban from the store, lasting a month, which according to Lucas began on 4 April 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To Chris's very slight credit, Mimms says he did resist using his custom Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards in actual games.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt; Mimms and Lucas also noted that he played the [[Card games#UFS_(Ultimate_Fighting_System)_TCG|Universal Fighting System card game]], often playing &amp;quot;bimbo&amp;quot; characters such as Cassandra from the ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' series and [[CWC Fighter|Chun-li]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The GAMe PLACe photograph==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Chrischannov2007.jpg|thumb|right|Blurry because [[Mimms]] was trying to be covert]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2007, Chris discovered the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] page devoted to him. There, he also discovered a blurry photograph of himself, which had been taken and posted to 4chan by Mimms and Lucas respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though he'd already pretty thoroughly blown a gasket over the ED page, Chris went even crazier trying to discover the identity of the photographer. In an e-mail to [[Anna McLerran]] from [[November 2007]], he mentions pestering the staff of The GAMe PLACe to go through their anti-theft camera footage to find out who had taken the photo.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Chris_E-mails_2007#November|Chris e-mails: November 2007]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (Unsurprisingly, they weren't very cooperative.) According to Mimms, Chris complained about the photo and the ED page so loudly and frequently at the store that the management eventually threatened to kick him out if he didn't stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris also complained to his mother, who apparently became as angry or more so. At one point, early in November, Chris's parents visited the store and interrogated Mimms as to the origin of the photo. After Mimms admitted that he had snapped the picture (but feigned ignorance as to how it found its way onto the internet), they threatened to take legal action, but never actually did so.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's &amp;quot;investigations&amp;quot; continued off and on for months after he originally found the picture. In an e-mail to Megan (sent in [[March 2008]] and oddly situated in between desperate apologies for the porn he drew of her), he recounts an indirect confrontation with Lucas at The GAMe PLACe on 8 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|So it brought up to mind my first word being &amp;quot;Monkey&amp;quot;, so I told Mimms that. And with a turn around towards the accompanying Lucas, I said in his direction, &amp;quot;Well, that's something new you didn't know about &amp;quot;be-4&amp;quot; about this &amp;quot;Chan&amp;quot;. I noticed a look on his face like, &amp;quot;Wow, I can totally wail on that tidbit of information.&amp;quot; He said nothing.|Chris's idea of subtlety, from the [[Megan_Emails,_2008#Chris_emails_her_some_detective_work.2C_Megan_likely_doesn.27t_give_a_shit|Megan e-mails]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Lucas gave his own interesting take on the story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|The funniest part about that is that I have no recollection of him saying that to me whatsoever. I had no idea I was even a suspect until I saw that email.|Lucas, [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Trolling_Chris_at_the_Game_Place|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris gets the boot==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's behavior offended the store's management in a number of ways. Aside from punting his gym-leader duties, scaring the small children he played card games with, picking fights with other players, and generally being a racist and homophobic creep, he would truck his video game consoles into The GAMe PLACe and take over the shop's flat-screen TV for considerable amounts of time, loudly sang along to [[Britney Spears]] during games, pitched fits inspired by his hatred of the [[Hex Bawx]] in public, and so on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trigger for his permanent ban in [[August 2008]] was a shouting match with a young black kid. That particular incident was merely the straw that broke the camel's back, though — &amp;quot;Mike was looking for any reason to ban him at this point,&amp;quot; says Mimms.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Predictably, Chris did his best to resist getting kicked out of the store. He brought his parents in to argue his case with Michael Snyder, to which Michael responded by calling the [[police]]. Despite a fierce response from [[Barbara Chandler]], Chris and his family failed to move either Michael or the cops, and every indication is that Chris will never be allowed back into the store.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Jackie e-mails]], Chris offers his own chronology and version of events. There, he claims that he was thrown out of the store much earlier than Mimms indicates, in June 2008. The so-called &amp;quot;Wii Incident&amp;quot;, according to Chris, was when Michael Snyder forced Chris to stop bogarting the TV for his Wii. Doing this apparently caused a number of children to miss out on obtaining a few trade-only evolution Pokemon. Chris got angry and wrote a letter, sign, or simply scrawled a note on the side of a card box stating &amp;quot;Michael Snyder Loves the &amp;quot;Fiddlesticks&amp;quot; out of Mary Lee Walsh&amp;quot;. This, Chris claimed, was Michael's last straw and he booted him then. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the CWCipedia article for Megan Schroeder, Chris claims that Megan was there the day he was banned and claimed that she just stood there in shock, refusing to speak up for him. In reality, of course, she was simply disgusted by his behavior like any rational person would have been and relieved that his being kicked out of the store would be the last time Chris would ever be in her sight&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Megan_Schroeder&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Also, she refused to defend Chris not because of shock, but because of his sexual harassment, [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|destruction of her dignity]], anger issues and &lt;br /&gt;
overall immaturity, ultimately cementing the fact that nobody wants Chris to ever return to the store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unbanning attempts==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

'''The GAMe PLACe''' is a comic-book, game, card, toy, and hobby shop in [[Charlottesville]]. For several years, up until the summer of [[2008]], Chris hung out there on a regular basis, going there every Friday without fail to play the ''[[Pokémon]]'' and ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' [[card games]]. The shop hosted the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon_Organized_Play#Pok.C3.A9mon_TCG_Leagues|Pokémon TCG League]] where Chris served as a self-proclaimed volunteer gym leader (though he was not endorsed in any way, and was largely simply tolerated by the store).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a long period of scaring off customers and being a confrontational douche, Chris was permanently kicked out of the store by one of the managers, [[Michael Snyder]], on 28 [[August 2008]]. Since then, Chris has attempted several times to regain access to the store, to no avail thanks to Michael's insistence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==People of note==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris originally met [[Megan Schroeder]] at The GAMe PLACe in [[2005]], where they bonded over their shared interest in Yu-Gi-Oh! Megan continued to hang out at the shop even after her friendship with Chris [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|collapsed]] in the spring of [[2008]], although their relationship by that point was strained to say the least. Once she broke off all contact with Chris, she did her best to ignore him entirely when they were at the store at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other two best-known patrons of the shop, aside from Chris himself, are [[Daniel Mimms]] and [[Lucas]]. The two friends are the primary source of most of what is known about Chris's behavior at The GAMe PLACe (and most of the information in this article), which they revealed during a detailed [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A|Q&amp;amp;A session]] on the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (message board)|PVCC forums]]. They're also famous for having taken and uploaded the first photograph of Chris to reach the internet, which Mimms snapped and Lucas uploaded to [[4-cent_garbage.com|4chan]] in the fall of [[2007]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Michael Snyder]], one of the store's managers (he isn't the owner, though he's sometimes mistakenly described as such) would eventually become one of Chris's real-life nemeses when he kicked Chris out of the store in the summer of 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris.27s_ban_from_the_store|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris's ban from the store]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris's attitude at The GAMe PLACe==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sonichupunch.jpg|thumb|left|Chris acting his age.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TonyTyAndBriana.jpg|thumb|Some regulars.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In his early days at The GAMe PLACe, Chris's behavior seems to have been more &amp;quot;childlike,&amp;quot; for lack of a better word. According to Mimms, who was a regular at the store for the entire time Chris hung out there, Chris avoided using foul language when he first started gaming at the store.&amp;lt;ref name=homo&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Racism_and_homophobia|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Racism and homophobia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also never failed to show up for Pokémon games in his old [[Chris_and_fashion#Cosplaying_Chris|Ash Ketchum costume]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The costume was eventually retired, however (by the time of the 2007 photo, Chris was showing up in his usual colorful clown shirts and sporting the [[Sonichu medallion]]), and Chris's behavior grew more aggressive and vulgar over the years. According to Mimms and Lucas, Chris often became angry at his card-game opponents, even small children. An [[Megan_Emails,_Aug-Dec_2007#Megan_is_pissed_that_Chris_is_nosing_in_her_business|October 2007 e-mail]] from Megan mentions an incident where Chris was extremely threatening and insulting to a guy whom he thought was putting the moves on his gal-pal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mimms recounted a few instances of Chris displaying his dislike and distrust of black people. He was openly suspicious of the young black kids he played Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh with, apparently because he thought they were going to make off with his cards.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Initial_post|Mimms &amp;amp; Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Initial post]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chris also nearly managed to earn himself a beating from an older black gamer by the name of TJ:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris yells at him, &amp;quot;I'm going to smack your effing face down!&amp;quot; and TJ stands up like hes going to beat his ass. Chris shrinks back and and says &amp;quot;I mean your face down monster...&amp;quot;|Mimms, [[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, Chris's homophobia occasionally surfaced while he was hanging out at the shop. A gay regular at the shop by the name of Eric was the target of mockery and threats from Chris (although Mimms noted that, for obvious reasons, Chris wasn't likely to ever do him any great physical harm).&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt; Chris also assumed that two of the shop's regulars were gay because they happened to exchange a few jokingly romantic remarks — his literal mind took that as proof that they were a couple.&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris the [[card games|TCG]] gamer==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:409-CWCWeekP3.jpg|thumb|Chris stares down his youthful opponent.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris was pretty awful at all the games he played.|Mimms, summing up Chris&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Follow_up|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} Though he apparently spent plenty of money buying new cards at the store,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris_as_a_customer|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris as a customer]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and built them into a sizable collection of themed decks, Chris didn't have any aptitude for deck-building or strategy in the Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh trading-card games. Even when playing against small children, he rarely won games or advanced in tournaments, although Mimms recounts one occasion where Chris managed to win a match on a day when most of the regular players were absent, and proudly hollered &amp;quot;I'M THE LEVEL-UP KING!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris often declares that he was a gym leader in the store's Pokémon league (an older player who manages tournaments, keeps track of wins and losses, and so forth). It's mentioned on his [[Chris's resume|resume]], for instance, and he talks about it in the [[Father Call]]. However, his memory has apparently inflated his role considerably. &amp;quot;He wasn't actually a gym leader,&amp;quot; says Mimms, but rather a substitute who took the place of the regular gym leader on a few occasions. He also wasn't very good at the job, reportedly becoming angry and snapping at the players he was supposed to be taking care of.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt; This earned him his first ban from the store, lasting a month, which according to Lucas began on 4 April 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To Chris's very slight credit, Mimms says he did resist using his custom Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards in actual games.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt; Mimms and Lucas also noted that he played the [[Card games#UFS_(Ultimate_Fighting_System)_TCG|Universal Fighting System card game]], often playing &amp;quot;bimbo&amp;quot; characters such as Cassandra from the ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' series and [[CWC Fighter|Chun-li]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The GAMe PLACe photograph==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Chrischannov2007.jpg|thumb|right|Blurry because [[Mimms]] was trying to be covert]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2007, Chris discovered the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] page devoted to him. There, he also discovered a blurry photograph of himself, which had been taken and posted to 4chan by Mimms and Lucas respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though he'd already pretty thoroughly blown a gasket over the ED page, Chris went even crazier trying to discover the identity of the photographer. In an e-mail to [[Anna McLerran]] from [[November 2007]], he mentions pestering the staff of The GAMe PLACe to go through their anti-theft camera footage to find out who had taken the photo.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Chris_E-mails_2007#November|Chris e-mails: November 2007]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (Unsurprisingly, they weren't very cooperative.) According to Mimms, Chris complained about the photo and the ED page so loudly and frequently at the store that the management eventually threatened to kick him out if he didn't stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris also complained to his mother, who apparently became as angry or more so. At one point, early in November, Chris's parents visited the store and interrogated Mimms as to the origin of the photo. After Mimms admitted that he had snapped the picture (but feigned ignorance as to how it found its way onto the internet), they threatened to take legal action, but never actually did so.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's &amp;quot;investigations&amp;quot; continued off and on for months after he originally found the picture. In an e-mail to Megan (sent in [[March 2008]] and oddly situated in between desperate apologies for the porn he drew of her), he recounts an indirect confrontation with Lucas at The GAMe PLACe on 8 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|So it brought up to mind my first word being &amp;quot;Monkey&amp;quot;, so I told Mimms that. And with a turn around towards the accompanying Lucas, I said in his direction, &amp;quot;Well, that's something new you didn't know about &amp;quot;be-4&amp;quot; about this &amp;quot;Chan&amp;quot;. I noticed a look on his face like, &amp;quot;Wow, I can totally wail on that tidbit of information.&amp;quot; He said nothing.|Chris's idea of subtlety, from the [[Megan_Emails,_2008#Chris_emails_her_some_detective_work.2C_Megan_likely_doesn.27t_give_a_shit|Megan e-mails]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Lucas gave his own interesting take on the story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|The funniest part about that is that I have no recollection of him saying that to me whatsoever. I had no idea I was even a suspect until I saw that email.|Lucas, [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Trolling_Chris_at_the_Game_Place|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris gets the boot==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's behavior offended the store's management in a number of ways. Aside from punting his gym-leader duties, scaring the small children he played card games with, picking fights with other players, and generally being a racist and homophobic creep, he would truck his video game consoles into The GAMe PLACe and take over the shop's flat-screen TV for considerable amounts of time, loudly sang along to [[Britney Spears]] during games, pitched fits inspired by his hatred of the [[Hex Bawx]] in public, and so on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trigger for his permanent ban in [[August 2008]] was a shouting match with a young black kid. That particular incident was merely the straw that broke the camel's back, though — &amp;quot;Mike was looking for any reason to ban him at this point,&amp;quot; says Mimms.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Predictably, Chris did his best to resist getting kicked out of the store. He brought his parents in to argue his case with Michael Snyder, to which Michael responded by calling the [[police]]. Despite a fierce response from [[Barbara Chandler]], Chris and his family failed to move either Michael or the cops, and every indication is that Chris will never be allowed back into the store.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Jackie e-mails]], Chris offers his own chronology and version of events. There, he claims that he was thrown out of the store much earlier than Mimms indicates, in June 2008. The so-called &amp;quot;Wii Incident&amp;quot;, according to Chris, was when Michael Snyder forced Chris to stop bogarting the TV for his Wii. Doing this apparently caused a number of children to miss out on obtaining a few trade-only evolution Pokemon. Chris got angry and wrote a letter, sign, or simply scrawled a note on the side of a card box stating &amp;quot;Michael Snyder Loves the &amp;quot;Fiddlesticks&amp;quot; out of Mary Lee Walsh&amp;quot;. This, Chris claimed, was Michael's last straw and he booted him then. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the CWCipedia article for Megan Schroeder, Chris claims that Megan was there the day he was banned and claimed that she just stood there in shock, refusing to speak up for him. In reality, of course, she was simply disgusted by his behavior like any rational person would have been and relieved that his being kicked out of the store would be the last time Chris would ever be in her sight&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Megan_Schroeder&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Also, she refused to defend Chris not because of shock, but because of his sexual harassment, [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|destruction of her dignity]], anger issues and &lt;br /&gt;
overall immaturity, ultimately cementing the fact that nobody wants Chris to ever return to the store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unbanning attempts==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Episode200Comment.PNG|thumb|Chris recounts flipping Michael Snyder the bird.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has repeatedly attempted to overcome his ban and gain readmission to the store. As mentioned in [[Chris_E-mails_2008#July|a July 2008 e-mail]], Chris sent a letter to Michael Snyder shortly after his initial one-month ban. In [[March 2009]] he attempted to apologize in the best way he knew how: [[Apology to Game &amp;amp; Hobby Place|posting a video to YouTube on the off-chance the individual addressed would see it]]. This was [[Chris and remorse|not the most sincere apology in the world]], since Chris made it clear in a [[I_Am_The_TRUE,_Original_CCWC|later video]] that he doesn't really understand why he was thrown out in the first place. A month later, in [[April 2009]], Chris attempted to sneak into the store, but when a cashier recognized him and caught him, Chris ran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost two years after his initial ban from The GAMe PLACe Chris would try again to get the ban lifted. In the Jackie emails Chris reveals that he attempted to go to The GAMe PLACe after church on 11 [[April 2010]]. When one of the cashiers saw Chris and recognized him, he threatened to call the cops. Chris got angry and bolted. The next day Chris visited the store again to talk to Michael Snyder in an attempt to have the ban removed. However, the visit did not turn out in Chris's favor, as [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|the audio from the incident]] shows. Michael refused to revoke the ban (later noting on YouTube, that Chris was actually reading the apology from a pre-written script&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&amp;amp;v=u_p6bShW97Y YouTube comment by Mike]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) and Chris took this about as well as could be expected; he flipped Michael off,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWq4pB_Vikw YouTube comment by Chris]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; yelled &amp;quot;JEW!&amp;quot; at him, and left the store in a huff. [[Chris and the law|The police were called]] about the incident, according to Mimms, but Chris was already long gone by the time they arrived; whether the police's involvement will continue remains to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Chris uploaded the audio of the incident to [[YouTube]], accompanied by a description soliciting harassment and &amp;quot;trolling&amp;quot; of Michael and his fellow employees. However, it was removed from the site in a matter of hours due to a &amp;quot;Terms of Use Violation&amp;quot;. Considering [[Chris and race|Chris's anti-Semitic remark]] directed at Michael, his invitation for others to harass him, and the possibly illegal nature of the recording, it's easy to see why it was pulled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has never fully understood why he was kicked out of the store. According to Mimms, Chris didn't see what was wrong with his behavior at the time,&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt; and he evidently hasn't reflected on the subject much in the intervening years. During the April 2010 visit to the store, the only possible grounds for his ban he could remember was the aforementioned &amp;quot;Wii incident.&amp;quot; Later, when he posted an ad on CWCipedia complaining about Snyder's refusal to lift the ban, Chris appeared to believe that the store manager refused to let him in because he hated him personally and [[Kick the Autistic|people with autism in general]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Chris's continued failure to overturn the ban, it is clear that his chances of winning entry to The GAMe PLACe are almost as remote as the chances of his [[duck]] entering [[China]].&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Charlottesville Incident==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 4 [[June 2010]], Chris visited The GAMe PLACe. [[6 June 2010|He claimed]] that he wanted to take a photograph of Snyder to use as a dartboard, but when Snyder saw him with his camera outside, he chased Chris. Chris claimed that he tried to drive away but was accosted by Snyder, his daughter and the police. Snyder's version was more succinct:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Christian is in my parking lot right now being grilled by [[jerkop|the police]]. He took pictures of my daughter and tried to run me over with his [[car]]. they witness this, and I bet they still do nothing about it.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The police listened to Chris rant about the trolls for a while and eventually sent him home with a warning.&lt;br /&gt;

I know that there is most likely some reason why we haven't already done it. But i'm not 100% certain, so i'm gonna throw this suggestion out there in the vain hope that someone sees it and either does it or at least explains why we can't;&lt;br /&gt;

I've got an idea that will probably elicit no reaction whatever from Chris but has to be worth a try.  But he's always abandoning accounts and changing his email.  Does anyone have his most up-to-date email address?  Does anyone know if he still even checks it anymore?  I know he said he was giving up internet, but he's still on Flipnote, so you never know.  Thanks a million and Happy Canada Day! --[[User:Manwithoutabody|manwithoutabody]] 19:34 1 July 2010 CEST&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: chrischansonichu@aol.com is and always has been his email account. These days he barely checks it and doesn't reply to anything, so best of luck; I've been bombarding it on and off from various email accounts ever since Sydney got through, but not even a single bite. Emailing Chris at this point is like pissing into an ocean of piss. p.s if your idea is 'pretend to be Megan, pretend to be a girl interested in him, say you dug up patti,pretend you are someone impossible (such as Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)), then I can safely say it won't work.

==I MAD==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, so the 'fan videos' is a cool and entertaining feature that can spice up a boring video page. Like all good ideas, however, something fucktarded has to come along. In this case, I'm talking about the utterly moronic practice of inserting videos that are either unrelated to the topic at hand, not actual Chris videos, or both. I'm not going to point any fingers namely because I've been gone forever and I'm not going to search through histories. Does a video with 'hurr durr i edited clips to make chris say he's gay' belong in the middle of the [[homos]] article? Does [[Sweetheart]] need some totally fucking irrelevant mashup at the top of the page? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At best, this is a misguided attempt at transplanting in humor. At worst, it's namefaggotry. I'm going to be weeding out this crap but it would be nice if certain people actively avoided this level of dumbfuckery. Put fan videos in a segment labeled fan videos, and maybe explain how the fuck it's relevant to the article.&lt;br /&gt;

*I see what you're getting at. I think there are quite a few pages where there's far too many fan videos. A secondary goal of the CWCki which hasn't been quite elaborated on formally is that it should serve to preserve trolling culture and our collective trolling heritage that surrounds Chris. Personally, I think a fan video should only be included in an article if 1) it is notable in itself (see Vivian G's &amp;quot;DYKES DYKES CHINA,&amp;quot; for instance) or 2) it illustrates a point clearly (can't think of a good example at the moment). In any case, it should be done sparingly. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 17:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Why I've banned 16BitAlex ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I was 4 or so, I had an NES when it was still pretty new and my babysitter loved playing it. One time, my mom took away the NES from me because my babysitter was so enamored with the NES, she would forget to, you know, watch me. It's something like that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I really didn't follow shit he did closely because Chris is enough drama to follow. 16BitAlex seemed to be causing drama that was counter productive to the CWCki's goal of documenting the life and times of Christian Weston Chandler. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like he himself tried to ban himself and so I took it upon myself to do the job right for him. Alex, if you're reading this, you are free to appeal this ban. Likewise, he is free to create a new account and start life anew on the CWCki, provided he will not delve too much into his personal life and stay focused on just editing the CWCki. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am really sick of this drama, not so much from CWCki editors but people like Clyde, and I'm afraid the only feasible solution I have was to remove Alex and in a way that was also to protect him because God damn, he is such a damn ass pie. &lt;br /&gt;

== Chris may be eligible for fraud charges ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Greetings all. A friend of mine who used to work as paralegal in social security pointed out that Chris may be eligible for fraud charges. I don't know the exact rules myself, but it seems if you're taking the social security fund and, you are not supposed to have 'substantial assets' (that is, in excess of $2000, sans car and house). Seeing Chris' PS3 and list of purchases, he is very likely to have gone through that limit. Unless he could provide evidence that he is disabled for work, he may face up to 10 years in jail for the fraud charge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SSA office in charge of Virginia should be 1470 Pantops Mountain Place, Charlottesville - (434) 295-1144 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              (434) 295-1144      end_of_the_skype_highlighting (reopens on 6th of July I heard). I can't report this issue due to me not being a US citizen, so I'm just pointing a possibility here.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Short answer:''' either you didn't hear your friend correctly, or he's a moron. Chris will never be pulled in on fraud charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Long answer:''' Assets that would be countable include excess real property, the fair market value of vehicles other than your primary vehicle, balances in savings accounts, excess burial plots, and revocable trusts. Legally, Chris owns very little, his parents owning all the real property (the house and land) and the accounts. Generally, items like TVs and PS3s aren't counted in the count of substantial assets, and oh god the legal shitstorm from revoking SSDI benefits because of DLC would be terrifying. Finally, the defense would have a field day with excuses on why he couldn't have understood the restriction. You might be thinking of &amp;quot;substantial gainful activity&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;SGA&amp;quot;), but that would be work which Chris.....doesn't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and '''Supplemental Security Income =/= Social Security Disability Insurance'''. I'm fairly certain Chris receives a check from the latter, so it's more application based than needs based.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-[[User:Jump|attorney at lol]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sadly, I think the only thing Chris risks is a weekly follow-up with a social worker. I don't think I will see a judge punishing an autistic manchild on his first fraud offence. I am ready to bet an old 5$ that he will receive no punitive damages at all. [[User:Griffintown|Griffintown]] 06:15, 3 July 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The GAMe PLACe''' is a comic-book, game, card, toy, and hobby shop in [[Charlottesville]]. For several years, up until the summer of [[2008]], Chris hung out there on a regular basis, going there every Friday without fail to play the ''[[Pokémon]]'' and ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' [[card games]]. The shop hosted the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon_Organized_Play#Pok.C3.A9mon_TCG_Leagues|Pokémon TCG League]] where Chris served as a self-proclaimed volunteer gym leader (though he was not endorsed in any way, and was largely simply tolerated by the store).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a long period of scaring off customers and being a confrontational douche, Chris was permanently kicked out of the store by one of the managers, [[Michael Snyder]], on 28 [[August 2008]]. Since then, Chris has attempted several times to regain access to the store, to no avail thanks to Michael's insistence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==People of note==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris originally met [[Megan Schroeder]] at The GAMe PLACe in [[2005]], where they bonded over their shared interest in Yu-Gi-Oh! Megan continued to hang out at the shop even after her friendship with Chris [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|collapsed]] in the spring of [[2008]], although their relationship by that point was strained to say the least. Once she broke off all contact with Chris, she did her best to ignore him entirely when they were at the store at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other two best-known patrons of the shop, aside from Chris himself, are [[Daniel Mimms]] and [[Lucas]]. The two friends are the primary source of most of what is known about Chris's behavior at The GAMe PLACe (and most of the information in this article), which they revealed during a detailed [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A|Q&amp;amp;A session]] on the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (message board)|PVCC forums]]. They're also famous for having taken and uploaded the first photograph of Chris to reach the internet, which Mimms snapped and Lucas uploaded to [[4-cent_garbage.com|4chan]] in the fall of [[2007]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Michael Snyder]], one of the store's managers (he isn't the owner, though he's sometimes mistakenly described as such) would eventually become one of Chris's real-life nemeses when he kicked Chris out of the store in the summer of 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris.27s_ban_from_the_store|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris's ban from the store]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris's attitude at The GAMe PLACe==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sonichupunch.jpg|thumb|left|Chris acting his age.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TonyTyAndBriana.jpg|thumb|Some regulars.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In his early days at The GAMe PLACe, Chris's behavior seems to have been more &amp;quot;childlike,&amp;quot; for lack of a better word. According to Mimms, who was a regular at the store for the entire time Chris hung out there, Chris avoided using foul language when he first started gaming at the store.&amp;lt;ref name=homo&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Racism_and_homophobia|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Racism and homophobia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also never failed to show up for Pokémon games in his old [[Chris_and_fashion#Cosplaying_Chris|Ash Ketchum costume]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The costume was eventually retired, however (by the time of the 2007 photo, Chris was showing up in his usual colorful clown shirts and sporting the [[Sonichu medallion]]), and Chris's behavior grew more aggressive and vulgar over the years. According to Mimms and Lucas, Chris often became angry at his card-game opponents, even small children. An [[Megan_Emails,_Aug-Dec_2007#Megan_is_pissed_that_Chris_is_nosing_in_her_business|October 2007 e-mail]] from Megan mentions an incident where Chris was extremely threatening and insulting to a guy whom he thought was putting the moves on his gal-pal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mimms recounted a few instances of Chris displaying his dislike and distrust of black people. He was openly suspicious of the young black kids he played Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh with, apparently because he thought they were going to make off with his cards.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Initial_post|Mimms &amp;amp; Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Initial post]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chris also nearly managed to earn himself a beating from an older black gamer by the name of TJ:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris yells at him, &amp;quot;I'm going to smack your effing face down!&amp;quot; and TJ stands up like hes going to beat his ass. Chris shrinks back and and says &amp;quot;I mean your face down monster...&amp;quot;|Mimms, [[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, Chris's homophobia occasionally surfaced while he was hanging out at the shop. A gay regular at the shop by the name of Eric was the target of mockery and threats from Chris (although Mimms noted that, for obvious reasons, Chris wasn't likely to ever do him any great physical harm).&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt; Chris also assumed that two of the shop's regulars were gay because they happened to exchange a few jokingly romantic remarks — his literal mind took that as proof that they were a couple.&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris the [[card games|TCG]] gamer==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:409-CWCWeekP3.jpg|thumb|Chris stares down his youthful opponent.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris was pretty awful at all the games he played.|Mimms, summing up Chris&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Follow_up|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} Though he apparently spent plenty of money buying new cards at the store,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris_as_a_customer|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris as a customer]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and built them into a sizable collection of themed decks, Chris didn't have any aptitude for deck-building or strategy in the Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh trading-card games. Even when playing against small children, he rarely won games or advanced in tournaments, although Mimms recounts one occasion where Chris managed to win a match on a day when most of the regular players were absent, and proudly hollered &amp;quot;I'M THE LEVEL-UP KING!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris often declares that he was a gym leader in the store's Pokémon league (an older player who manages tournaments, keeps track of wins and losses, and so forth). It's mentioned on his [[Chris's resume|resume]], for instance, and he talks about it in the [[Father Call]]. However, his memory has apparently inflated his role considerably. &amp;quot;He wasn't actually a gym leader,&amp;quot; says Mimms, but rather a substitute who took the place of the regular gym leader on a few occasions. He also wasn't very good at the job, reportedly becoming angry and snapping at the players he was supposed to be taking care of.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt; This earned him his first ban from the store, lasting a month, which according to Lucas began on 4 April 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To Chris's very slight credit, Mimms says he did resist using his custom Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards in actual games.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt; Mimms and Lucas also noted that he played the [[Card games#UFS_(Ultimate_Fighting_System)_TCG|Universal Fighting System card game]], often playing &amp;quot;bimbo&amp;quot; characters such as Cassandra from the ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' series and [[CWC Fighter|Chun-li]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The GAMe PLACe photograph==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Chrischannov2007.jpg|thumb|right|Blurry because [[Mimms]] was trying to be covert]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2007, Chris discovered the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] page devoted to him. There, he also discovered a blurry photograph of himself, which had been taken and posted to 4chan by Mimms and Lucas respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though he'd already pretty thoroughly blown a gasket over the ED page, Chris went even crazier trying to discover the identity of the photographer. In an e-mail to [[Anna McLerran]] from [[November 2007]], he mentions pestering the staff of The GAMe PLACe to go through their anti-theft camera footage to find out who had taken the photo.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Chris_E-mails_2007#November|Chris e-mails: November 2007]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (Unsurprisingly, they weren't very cooperative.) According to Mimms, Chris complained about the photo and the ED page so loudly and frequently at the store that the management eventually threatened to kick him out if he didn't stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris also complained to his mother, who apparently became as angry or more so. At one point, early in November, Chris's parents visited the store and interrogated Mimms as to the origin of the photo. After Mimms admitted that he had snapped the picture (but feigned ignorance as to how it found its way onto the internet), they threatened to take legal action, but never actually did so.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's &amp;quot;investigations&amp;quot; continued off and on for months after he originally found the picture. In an e-mail to Megan (sent in [[March 2008]] and oddly situated in between desperate apologies for the porn he drew of her), he recounts an indirect confrontation with Lucas at The GAMe PLACe on 8 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|So it brought up to mind my first word being &amp;quot;Monkey&amp;quot;, so I told Mimms that. And with a turn around towards the accompanying Lucas, I said in his direction, &amp;quot;Well, that's something new you didn't know about &amp;quot;be-4&amp;quot; about this &amp;quot;Chan&amp;quot;. I noticed a look on his face like, &amp;quot;Wow, I can totally wail on that tidbit of information.&amp;quot; He said nothing.|Chris's idea of subtlety, from the [[Megan_Emails,_2008#Chris_emails_her_some_detective_work.2C_Megan_likely_doesn.27t_give_a_shit|Megan e-mails]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Lucas gave his own interesting take on the story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|The funniest part about that is that I have no recollection of him saying that to me whatsoever. I had no idea I was even a suspect until I saw that email.|Lucas, [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Trolling_Chris_at_the_Game_Place|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris gets the boot==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's behavior offended the store's management in a number of ways. Aside from punting his gym-leader duties, scaring the small children he played card games with, picking fights with other players, and generally being a racist and homophobic creep, he would truck his video game consoles into The GAMe PLACe and take over the shop's flat-screen TV for considerable amounts of time, loudly sang along to [[Britney Spears]] during games, pitched fits inspired by his hatred of the [[Hex Bawx]] in public, and so on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trigger for his permanent ban in [[August 2008]] was a shouting match with a young black kid. That particular incident was merely the straw that broke the camel's back, though — &amp;quot;Mike was looking for any reason to ban him at this point,&amp;quot; says Mimms.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Predictably, Chris did his best to resist getting kicked out of the store. He brought his parents in to argue his case with Michael Snyder, to which Michael responded by calling the [[police]]. Despite a fierce response from [[Barbara Chandler]], Chris and his family failed to move either Michael or the cops, and every indication is that Chris will never be allowed back into the store.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Jackie e-mails]], Chris offers his own chronology and version of events. There, he claims that he was thrown out of the store much earlier than Mimms indicates, in June 2008. The so-called &amp;quot;Wii Incident&amp;quot;, according to Chris, was when Michael Snyder forced Chris to stop bogarting the TV for his Wii. Doing this apparently caused a number of children to miss out on obtaining a few trade-only evolution Pokemon. Chris got angry and wrote a letter, sign, or simply scrawled a note on the side of a card box stating &amp;quot;Michael Snyder Loves the &amp;quot;Fiddlesticks&amp;quot; out of Mary Lee Walsh&amp;quot;. This, Chris claimed, was Michael's last straw and he booted him then. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the CWCipedia article for Megan Schroeder, Chris claims that Megan was there the day he was banned and claimed that she just stood there in shock, refusing to speak up for him. In reality, of course, she was simply disgusted by his behavior like any rational person would have been and relieved that his being kicked out of the store would be the last time Chris would ever be in her sight&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Megan_Schroeder&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Also, she refused to defend Chris not because of shock, but because of his sexual harassment, [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|destruction of her dignity]], anger issues and &lt;br /&gt;
overall immaturity, ultimately cementing the fact that nobody wants Chris to ever return to the store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unbanning attempts==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Episode200Comment.PNG|thumb|Chris recounts flipping Michael Snyder the bird.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has repeatedly attempted to overcome his ban and gain readmission to the store. As mentioned in [[Chris_E-mails_2008#July|a July 2008 e-mail]], Chris sent a letter to Michael Snyder shortly after his initial one-month ban. In [[March 2009]] he attempted to apologize in the best way he knew how: [[Apology to Game &amp;amp; Hobby Place|posting a video to YouTube on the off-chance the individual addressed would see it]]. This was [[Chris and remorse|not the most sincere apology in the world]], since Chris made it clear in a [[I_Am_The_TRUE,_Original_CCWC|later video]] that he doesn't really understand why he was thrown out in the first place. A month later, in [[April 2009]], Chris attempted to sneak into the store, but when a cashier recognized him and caught him, Chris ran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost two years after his initial ban from The GAMe PLACe Chris would try again to get the ban lifted. In the Jackie emails Chris reveals that he attempted to go to The GAMe PLACe after church on 11 [[April 2010]]. When one of the cashiers saw Chris and recognized him, he threatened to call the cops. Chris got angry and bolted. The next day Chris visited the store again to talk to Michael Snyder in an attempt to have the ban removed. However, the visit did not turn out in Chris's favor, as [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|the audio from the incident]] shows. Michael refused to revoke the ban (later noting on YouTube, that Chris was actually reading the apology from a pre-written script&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&amp;amp;v=u_p6bShW97Y YouTube comment by Mike]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) and Chris took this about as well as could be expected; he flipped Michael off,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWq4pB_Vikw YouTube comment by Chris]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; yelled &amp;quot;JEW!&amp;quot; at him, and left the store in a huff. [[Chris and the law|The police were called]] about the incident, according to Mimms, but Chris was already long gone by the time they arrived; whether the police's involvement will continue remains to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Chris uploaded the audio of the incident to [[YouTube]], accompanied by a description soliciting harassment and &amp;quot;trolling&amp;quot; of Michael and his fellow employees. However, it was removed from the site in a matter of hours due to a &amp;quot;Terms of Use Violation&amp;quot;. Considering [[Chris and race|Chris's anti-Semitic remark]] directed at Michael, his invitation for others to harass him, and the possibly illegal nature of the recording, it's easy to see why it was pulled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has never fully understood why he was kicked out of the store. According to Mimms, Chris didn't see what was wrong with his behavior at the time,&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt; and he evidently hasn't reflected on the subject much in the intervening years. During the April 2010 visit to the store, the only possible grounds for his ban he could remember was the aforementioned &amp;quot;Wii incident.&amp;quot; Later, when he posted an ad on CWCipedia complaining about Snyder's refusal to lift the ban, Chris appeared to believe that the store manager refused to let him in because he hated him personally and [[Kick the Autistic|people with autism in general]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Chris's continued failure to overturn the ban, it is clear that his chances of winning entry to The GAMe PLACe are almost as remote as the chances of his [[duck]] entering [[China]].&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Charlottesville Incident==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 4 [[June 2010]], Chris visited The GAMe PLACe. [[6 June 2010|He claimed]] that he wanted to take a photograph of Snyder to use as a dartboard, but when Snyder saw him with his camera outside, he chased Chris. Chris claimed that he tried to drive away but was accosted by Snyder, his daughter and the police. Snyder's version was more succinct:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Christian is in my parking lot right now being grilled by [[jerkop|the police]]. He took pictures of my daughter and tried to run me over with his [[car]]. they witness this, and I bet they still do nothing about it.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The police listened to Chris rant about the trolls for a while and eventually sent him home with a warning.&lt;br /&gt;

'''The GAMe PLACe''' is a comic-book, game, card, toy, and hobby shop in [[Charlottesville]].

A gay regular at the shop by the name of Eric was the target of mockery and threats from Chris (although Mimms noted that, for obvious reasons, Chris wasn't likely to ever do him any great physical harm).&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt; Chris also assumed that two of the shop's regulars were gay because they happened to exchange a few jokingly romantic remarks — his literal mind took that as proof that they were a couple.&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Chris the [[card games|TCG]] gamer==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:409-CWCWeekP3.jpg|thumb|Chris stares down his youthful opponent.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris was pretty awful at all the games he played.|Mimms, summing up Chris&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Follow_up|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} Though he apparently spent plenty of money buying new cards at the store,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris_as_a_customer|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris as a customer]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and built them into a sizable collection of themed decks, Chris didn't have any aptitude for deck-building or strategy in the Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh trading-card games. Even when playing against small children, he rarely won games or advanced in tournaments, although Mimms recounts one occasion where Chris managed to win a match on a day when most of the regular players were absent, and proudly hollered &amp;quot;I'M THE LEVEL-UP KING!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris often declares that he was a gym leader in the store's Pokémon league (an older player who manages tournaments, keeps track of wins and losses, and so forth). It's mentioned on his [[Chris's resume|resume]], for instance, and he talks about it in the [[Father Call]]. However, his memory has apparently inflated his role considerably. &amp;quot;He wasn't actually a gym leader,&amp;quot; says Mimms, but rather a substitute who took the place of the regular gym leader on a few occasions. He also wasn't very good at the job, reportedly becoming angry and snapping at the players he was supposed to be taking care of.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt; This earned him his first ban from the store, lasting a month, which according to Lucas began on 4 April 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To Chris's very slight credit, Mimms says he did resist using his custom Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards in actual games.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt; Mimms and Lucas also noted that he played the [[Card games#UFS_(Ultimate_Fighting_System)_TCG|Universal Fighting System card game]], often playing &amp;quot;bimbo&amp;quot; characters such as Cassandra from the ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' series and [[CWC Fighter|Chun-li]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The GAMe PLACe photograph==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Chrischannov2007.jpg|thumb|right|Blurry because [[Mimms]] was trying to be covert]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2007, Chris discovered the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] page devoted to him. There, he also discovered a blurry photograph of himself, which had been taken and posted to 4chan by Mimms and Lucas respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though he'd already pretty thoroughly blown a gasket over the ED page, Chris went even crazier trying to discover the identity of the photographer. In an e-mail to [[Anna McLerran]] from [[November 2007]], he mentions pestering the staff of The GAMe PLACe to go through their anti-theft camera footage to find out who had taken the photo.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Chris_E-mails_2007#November|Chris e-mails: November 2007]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (Unsurprisingly, they weren't very cooperative.) According to Mimms, Chris complained about the photo and the ED page so loudly and frequently at the store that the management eventually threatened to kick him out if he didn't stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris also complained to his mother, who apparently became as angry or more so. At one point, early in November, Chris's parents visited the store and interrogated Mimms as to the origin of the photo. After Mimms admitted that he had snapped the picture (but feigned ignorance as to how it found its way onto the internet), they threatened to take legal action, but never actually did so.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's &amp;quot;investigations&amp;quot; continued off and on for months after he originally found the picture. In an e-mail to Megan (sent in [[March 2008]] and oddly situated in between desperate apologies for the porn he drew of her), he recounts an indirect confrontation with Lucas at The GAMe PLACe on 8 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|So it brought up to mind my first word being &amp;quot;Monkey&amp;quot;, so I told Mimms that. And with a turn around towards the accompanying Lucas, I said in his direction, &amp;quot;Well, that's something new you didn't know about &amp;quot;be-4&amp;quot; about this &amp;quot;Chan&amp;quot;. I noticed a look on his face like, &amp;quot;Wow, I can totally wail on that tidbit of information.&amp;quot; He said nothing.|Chris's idea of subtlety, from the [[Megan_Emails,_2008#Chris_emails_her_some_detective_work.2C_Megan_likely_doesn.27t_give_a_shit|Megan e-mails]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Lucas gave his own interesting take on the story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|The funniest part about that is that I have no recollection of him saying that to me whatsoever. I had no idea I was even a suspect until I saw that email.|Lucas, [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Trolling_Chris_at_the_Game_Place|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris gets the boot==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's behavior offended the store's management in a number of ways. Aside from punting his gym-leader duties, scaring the small children he played card games with, picking fights with other players, and generally being a racist and homophobic creep, he would truck his video game consoles into The GAMe PLACe and take over the shop's flat-screen TV for considerable amounts of time, loudly sang along to [[Britney Spears]] during games, pitched fits inspired by his hatred of the [[Hex Bawx]] in public, and so on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trigger for his permanent ban in [[August 2008]] was a shouting match with a young black kid. That particular incident was merely the straw that broke the camel's back, though — &amp;quot;Mike was looking for any reason to ban him at this point,&amp;quot; says Mimms.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Predictably, Chris did his best to resist getting kicked out of the store. He brought his parents in to argue his case with Michael Snyder, to which Michael responded by calling the [[police]]. Despite a fierce response from [[Barbara Chandler]], Chris and his family failed to move either Michael or the cops, and every indication is that Chris will never be allowed back into the store.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Jackie e-mails]], Chris offers his own chronology and version of events. There, he claims that he was thrown out of the store much earlier than Mimms indicates, in June 2008. The so-called &amp;quot;Wii Incident&amp;quot;, according to Chris, was when Michael Snyder forced Chris to stop bogarting the TV for his Wii. Doing this apparently caused a number of children to miss out on obtaining a few trade-only evolution Pokemon. Chris got angry and wrote a letter, sign, or simply scrawled a note on the side of a card box stating &amp;quot;Michael Snyder Loves the &amp;quot;Fiddlesticks&amp;quot; out of Mary Lee Walsh&amp;quot;. This, Chris claimed, was Michael's last straw and he booted him then. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the CWCipedia article for Megan Schroeder, Chris claims that Megan was there the day he was banned and claimed that she just stood there in shock, refusing to speak up for him. In reality, of course, she was simply disgusted by his behavior like any rational person would have been and relieved that his being kicked out of the store would be the last time Chris would ever be in her sight&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Megan_Schroeder&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Also, she refused to defend Chris not because of shock, but because of his sexual harassment, [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|destruction of her dignity]], anger issues and &lt;br /&gt;
overall immaturity, ultimately cementing the fact that nobody wants Chris to ever return to the store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unbanning attempts==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Episode200Comment.PNG|thumb|Chris recounts flipping Michael Snyder the bird.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has repeatedly attempted to overcome his ban and gain readmission to the store. As mentioned in [[Chris_E-mails_2008#July|a July 2008 e-mail]], Chris sent a letter to Michael Snyder shortly after his initial one-month ban. In [[March 2009]] he attempted to apologize in the best way he knew how: [[Apology to Game &amp;amp; Hobby Place|posting a video to YouTube on the off-chance the individual addressed would see it]]. This was [[Chris and remorse|not the most sincere apology in the world]], since Chris made it clear in a [[I_Am_The_TRUE,_Original_CCWC|later video]] that he doesn't really understand why he was thrown out in the first place. A month later, in [[April 2009]], Chris attempted to sneak into the store, but when a cashier recognized him and caught him, Chris ran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost two years after his initial ban from The GAMe PLACe Chris would try again to get the ban lifted. In the Jackie emails Chris reveals that he attempted to go to The GAMe PLACe after church on 11 [[April 2010]]. When one of the cashiers saw Chris and recognized him, he threatened to call the cops. Chris got angry and bolted. The next day Chris visited the store again to talk to Michael Snyder in an attempt to have the ban removed. However, the visit did not turn out in Chris's favor, as [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|the audio from the incident]] shows. Michael refused to revoke the ban (later noting on YouTube, that Chris was actually reading the apology from a pre-written script&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&amp;amp;v=u_p6bShW97Y YouTube comment by Mike]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) and Chris took this about as well as could be expected; he flipped Michael off,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWq4pB_Vikw YouTube comment by Chris]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; yelled &amp;quot;JEW!&amp;quot; at him, and left the store in a huff. [[Chris and the law|The police were called]] about the incident, according to Mimms, but Chris was already long gone by the time they arrived; whether the police's involvement will continue remains to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Chris uploaded the audio of the incident to [[YouTube]], accompanied by a description soliciting harassment and &amp;quot;trolling&amp;quot; of Michael and his fellow employees. However, it was removed from the site in a matter of hours due to a &amp;quot;Terms of Use Violation&amp;quot;. Considering [[Chris and race|Chris's anti-Semitic remark]] directed at Michael, his invitation for others to harass him, and the possibly illegal nature of the recording, it's easy to see why it was pulled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has never fully understood why he was kicked out of the store. According to Mimms, Chris didn't see what was wrong with his behavior at the time,&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt; and he evidently hasn't reflected on the subject much in the intervening years. During the April 2010 visit to the store, the only possible grounds for his ban he could remember was the aforementioned &amp;quot;Wii incident.&amp;quot; Later, when he posted an ad on CWCipedia complaining about Snyder's refusal to lift the ban, Chris appeared to believe that the store manager refused to let him in because he hated him personally and [[Kick the Autistic|people with autism in general]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Chris's continued failure to overturn the ban, it is clear that his chances of winning entry to The GAMe PLACe are almost as remote as the chances of his [[duck]] entering [[China]].&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Charlottesville Incident==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 4 [[June 2010]], Chris visited The GAMe PLACe. [[6 June 2010|He claimed]] that he wanted to take a photograph of Snyder to use as a dartboard, but when Snyder saw him with his camera outside, he chased Chris. Chris claimed that he tried to drive away but was accosted by Snyder, his daughter and the police. Snyder's version was more succinct:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Christian is in my parking lot right now being grilled by [[jerkop|the police]]. He took pictures of my daughter and tried to run me over with his [[car]]. they witness this, and I bet they still do nothing about it.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The police listened to Chris rant about the trolls for a while and eventually sent him home with a warning.&lt;br /&gt;

I just wanted to end this shit. Unfortunatly, he instead went on to cause more drama, and it pissed me off to the point I became an active participant.

I've got an idea that will probably elicit no reaction whatever from Chris but has to be worth a try.  But he's always abandoning accounts and changing his email.  Does anyone have his most up-to-date email address?  Does anyone know if he still even checks it anymore?  I know he said he was giving up internet, but he's still on Flipnote, so you never know.  Thanks a million and Happy Canada Day! --[[User:Manwithoutabody|manwithoutabody]] 19:34 1 July 2010 CEST&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: chrischansonichu@aol.com is and always has been his email account. These days he barely checks it and doesn't reply to anything, so best of luck; I've been bombarding it on and off from various email accounts ever since Sydney got through, but not even a single bite. Emailing Chris at this point is like pissing into an ocean of piss. p.s if your idea is 'pretend to be Megan, pretend to be a girl interested in him, say you dug up patti,pretend you are someone impossible (such as Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)), then I can safely say it won't work. Good luck though. --[[User:Ronichu|Ronichu]] 01:03, 2 July 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

==I MAD==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, so the 'fan videos' is a cool and entertaining feature that can spice up a boring video page. Like all good ideas, however, something fucktarded has to come along. In this case, I'm talking about the utterly moronic practice of inserting videos that are either unrelated to the topic at hand, not actual Chris videos, or both. I'm not going to point any fingers namely because I've been gone forever and I'm not going to search through histories. Does a video with 'hurr durr i edited clips to make chris say he's gay' belong in the middle of the [[homos]] article? Does [[Sweetheart]] need some totally fucking irrelevant mashup at the top of the page? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At best, this is a misguided attempt at transplanting in humor. At worst, it's namefaggotry. I'm going to be weeding out this crap but it would be nice if certain people actively avoided this level of dumbfuckery. Put fan videos in a segment labeled fan videos, and maybe explain how the fuck it's relevant to the article.&lt;br /&gt;

*I see what you're getting at. I think there are quite a few pages where there's far too many fan videos. A secondary goal of the CWCki which hasn't been quite elaborated on formally is that it should serve to preserve trolling culture and our collective trolling heritage that surrounds Chris. Personally, I think a fan video should only be included in an article if 1) it is notable in itself (see Vivian G's &amp;quot;DYKES DYKES CHINA,&amp;quot; for instance) or 2) it illustrates a point clearly (can't think of a good example at the moment). In any case, it should be done sparingly. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 17:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Why I've banned 16BitAlex ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I was 4 or so, I had an NES when it was still pretty new and my babysitter loved playing it. One time, my mom took away the NES from me because my babysitter was so enamored with the NES, she would forget to, you know, watch me. It's something like that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I really didn't follow shit he did closely because Chris is enough drama to follow. 16BitAlex seemed to be causing drama that was counter productive to the CWCki's goal of documenting the life and times of Christian Weston Chandler. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like he himself tried to ban himself and so I took it upon myself to do the job right for him. Alex, if you're reading this, you are free to appeal this ban. Likewise, he is free to create a new account and start life anew on the CWCki, provided he will not delve too much into his personal life and stay focused on just editing the CWCki. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am really sick of this drama, not so much from CWCki editors but people like Clyde, and I'm afraid the only feasible solution I have was to remove Alex and in a way that was also to protect him because God damn, he is such a damn ass pie. &lt;br /&gt;

== Chris may be eligible for fraud charges ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Greetings all. A friend of mine who used to work as paralegal in social security pointed out that Chris may be eligible for fraud charges. I don't know the exact rules myself, but it seems if you're taking the social security fund and, you are not supposed to have 'substantial assets' (that is, in excess of $2000, sans car and house). Seeing Chris' PS3 and list of purchases, he is very likely to have gone through that limit. Unless he could provide evidence that he is disabled for work, he may face up to 10 years in jail for the fraud charge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SSA office in charge of Virginia should be 1470 Pantops Mountain Place, Charlottesville - (434) 295-1144 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              (434) 295-1144      end_of_the_skype_highlighting (reopens on 6th of July I heard). I can't report this issue due to me not being a US citizen, so I'm just pointing a possibility here.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Short answer:''' either you didn't hear your friend correctly, or he's a moron. Chris will never be pulled in on fraud charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Long answer:''' Assets that would be countable include excess real property, the fair market value of vehicles other than your primary vehicle, balances in savings accounts, excess burial plots, and revocable trusts. Legally, Chris owns very little, his parents owning all the real property (the house and land) and the accounts. Generally, items like TVs and PS3s aren't counted in the count of substantial assets, and oh god the legal shitstorm from revoking SSDI benefits because of DLC would be terrifying. Finally, the defense would have a field day with excuses on why he couldn't have understood the restriction. You might be thinking of &amp;quot;substantial gainful activity&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;SGA&amp;quot;), but that would be work which Chris.....doesn't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and '''Supplemental Security Income =/= Social Security Disability Insurance'''. I'm fairly certain Chris receives a check from the latter, so it's more application based than needs based.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-[[User:Jump|attorney at lol]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sadly, I think the only thing Chris risks is a weekly follow-up with a social worker. I don't think I will see a judge punishing an autistic manchild on his first fraud offence. I am ready to bet an old 5$ that he will receive no punitive damages at all. [[User:Griffintown|Griffintown]] 06:15, 3 July 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

so, i'm thinking about remaking the community portal as an actual portal. that is, a place with links to discussion areas for different topics. one of these would be about speculation, which leads me onto my next change: no more speculation in articles, unless it is ''extremely'' related. some articles have way too fucking much armchair psychology, which really has no place in the main namespace. this is an encyclopaedia of facts, not a gigantic talk page, so please confine your guesswork to either article discussion pages(if it is important to improving the article, i.e. decoding/translating chris's bullshit) or the speculation place(once it's made). please discuss how the community portal should be revamped, such as what discussion pages to create. --[[User:Cogsdev|Cogsdev]] 09:21, 4 July 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:GamePlace2.jpg|thumb|Another angle, revealing The GAMe PLACe to be adjacent to a Staples store]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris would rarely ever shake anyones hand after a game, and when he did, he quickly followed up with hand sanitizer.|[[Mimms]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The GAMe PLACe''' is a comic-book, game, card, toy, and hobby shop in [[Charlottesville]]. For several years, up until the summer of [[2008]], Chris hung out there on a regular basis, going there every Friday without fail to play the ''[[Pokémon]]'' and ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' [[card games]]. The shop hosted the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon_Organized_Play#Pok.C3.A9mon_TCG_Leagues|Pokémon TCG League]] where Chris served as a self-proclaimed volunteer gym leader (though he was not endorsed in any way, and was largely simply tolerated by the store).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a long period of scaring off customers and being a confrontational douche, Chris was permanently kicked out of the store by one of the managers, [[Michael Snyder]], on 28 [[August 2008]]. Since then, Chris has attempted several times to regain access to the store, to no avail thanks to Michael's insistence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==People of note==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris originally met [[Megan Schroeder]] at The GAMe PLACe in [[2005]], where they bonded over their shared interest in Yu-Gi-Oh! Megan continued to hang out at the shop even after her friendship with Chris [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|collapsed]] in the spring of [[2008]], although their relationship by that point was strained to say the least. Once she broke off all contact with Chris, she did her best to ignore him entirely when they were at the store at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other two best-known patrons of the shop, aside from Chris himself, are [[Daniel Mimms]] and [[Lucas]]. The two friends are the primary source of most of what is known about Chris's behavior at The GAMe PLACe (and most of the information in this article), which they revealed during a detailed [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A|Q&amp;amp;A session]] on the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (message board)|PVCC forums]]. They're also famous for having taken and uploaded the first photograph of Chris to reach the internet, which Mimms snapped and Lucas uploaded to [[4-cent_garbage.com|4chan]] in the fall of [[2007]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Michael Snyder]], one of the store's managers (he isn't the owner, though he's sometimes mistakenly described as such) would eventually become one of Chris's real-life nemeses when he kicked Chris out of the store in the summer of 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris.27s_ban_from_the_store|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris's ban from the store]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris's attitude at The GAMe PLACe==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sonichupunch.jpg|thumb|left|Chris acting his age.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TonyTyAndBriana.jpg|thumb|Some regulars.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In his early days at The GAMe PLACe, Chris's behavior seems to have been more &amp;quot;childlike,&amp;quot; for lack of a better word. According to Mimms, who was a regular at the store for the entire time Chris hung out there, Chris avoided using foul language when he first started gaming at the store.&amp;lt;ref name=homo&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Racism_and_homophobia|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Racism and homophobia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also never failed to show up for Pokémon games in his old [[Chris_and_fashion#Cosplaying_Chris|Ash Ketchum costume]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The costume was eventually retired, however (by the time of the 2007 photo, Chris was showing up in his usual colorful clown shirts and sporting the [[Sonichu medallion]]), and Chris's behavior grew more aggressive and vulgar over the years. According to Mimms and Lucas, Chris often became angry at his card-game opponents, even small children. An [[Megan_Emails,_Aug-Dec_2007#Megan_is_pissed_that_Chris_is_nosing_in_her_business|October 2007 e-mail]] from Megan mentions an incident where Chris was extremely threatening and insulting to a guy whom he thought was putting the moves on his gal-pal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mimms recounted a few instances of Chris displaying his dislike and distrust of black people. He was openly suspicious of the young black kids he played Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh with, apparently because he thought they were going to make off with his cards.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Initial_post|Mimms &amp;amp; Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Initial post]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chris also nearly managed to earn himself a beating from an older black gamer by the name of TJ:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris yells at him, &amp;quot;I'm going to smack your effing face down!&amp;quot; and TJ stands up like hes going to beat his ass. Chris shrinks back and and says &amp;quot;I mean your face down monster...&amp;quot;|Mimms, [[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, Chris's homophobia occasionally surfaced while he was hanging out at the shop. A gay regular at the shop by the name of Eric was the target of mockery and threats from Chris (although Mimms noted that, for obvious reasons, Chris wasn't likely to ever do him any great physical harm).&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt; Chris also assumed that two of the shop's regulars were gay because they happened to exchange a few jokingly romantic remarks — his literal mind took that as proof that they were a couple.&amp;lt;ref name=homo/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris the [[card games|TCG]] gamer==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:409-CWCWeekP3.jpg|thumb|Chris stares down his youthful opponent.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Chris was pretty awful at all the games he played.|Mimms, summing up Chris&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Follow_up|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} Though he apparently spent plenty of money buying new cards at the store,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Chris_as_a_customer|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A: Chris as a customer]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and built them into a sizable collection of themed decks, Chris didn't have any aptitude for deck-building or strategy in the Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh trading-card games. Even when playing against small children, he rarely won games or advanced in tournaments, although Mimms recounts one occasion where Chris managed to win a match on a day when most of the regular players were absent, and proudly hollered &amp;quot;I'M THE LEVEL-UP KING!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris often declares that he was a gym leader in the store's Pokémon league (an older player who manages tournaments, keeps track of wins and losses, and so forth). It's mentioned on his [[Chris's resume|resume]], for instance, and he talks about it in the [[Father Call]]. However, his memory has apparently inflated his role considerably. &amp;quot;He wasn't actually a gym leader,&amp;quot; says Mimms, but rather a substitute who took the place of the regular gym leader on a few occasions. He also wasn't very good at the job, reportedly becoming angry and snapping at the players he was supposed to be taking care of.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt; This earned him his first ban from the store, lasting a month, which according to Lucas began on 4 April 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To Chris's very slight credit, Mimms says he did resist using his custom Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards in actual games.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt; Mimms and Lucas also noted that he played the [[Card games#UFS_(Ultimate_Fighting_System)_TCG|Universal Fighting System card game]], often playing &amp;quot;bimbo&amp;quot; characters such as Cassandra from the ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' series and [[CWC Fighter|Chun-li]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The GAMe PLACe photograph==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Chrischannov2007.jpg|thumb|right|Blurry because [[Mimms]] was trying to be covert]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2007, Chris discovered the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] page devoted to him. There, he also discovered a blurry photograph of himself, which had been taken and posted to 4chan by Mimms and Lucas respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though he'd already pretty thoroughly blown a gasket over the ED page, Chris went even crazier trying to discover the identity of the photographer. In an e-mail to [[Anna McLerran]] from [[November 2007]], he mentions pestering the staff of The GAMe PLACe to go through their anti-theft camera footage to find out who had taken the photo.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Chris_E-mails_2007#November|Chris e-mails: November 2007]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (Unsurprisingly, they weren't very cooperative.) According to Mimms, Chris complained about the photo and the ED page so loudly and frequently at the store that the management eventually threatened to kick him out if he didn't stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris also complained to his mother, who apparently became as angry or more so. At one point, early in November, Chris's parents visited the store and interrogated Mimms as to the origin of the photo. After Mimms admitted that he had snapped the picture (but feigned ignorance as to how it found its way onto the internet), they threatened to take legal action, but never actually did so.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms2/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's &amp;quot;investigations&amp;quot; continued off and on for months after he originally found the picture. In an e-mail to Megan (sent in [[March 2008]] and oddly situated in between desperate apologies for the porn he drew of her), he recounts an indirect confrontation with Lucas at The GAMe PLACe on 8 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|So it brought up to mind my first word being &amp;quot;Monkey&amp;quot;, so I told Mimms that. And with a turn around towards the accompanying Lucas, I said in his direction, &amp;quot;Well, that's something new you didn't know about &amp;quot;be-4&amp;quot; about this &amp;quot;Chan&amp;quot;. I noticed a look on his face like, &amp;quot;Wow, I can totally wail on that tidbit of information.&amp;quot; He said nothing.|Chris's idea of subtlety, from the [[Megan_Emails,_2008#Chris_emails_her_some_detective_work.2C_Megan_likely_doesn.27t_give_a_shit|Megan e-mails]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Lucas gave his own interesting take on the story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|The funniest part about that is that I have no recollection of him saying that to me whatsoever. I had no idea I was even a suspect until I saw that email.|Lucas, [[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q%26A#Trolling_Chris_at_the_Game_Place|Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chris gets the boot==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris's behavior offended the store's management in a number of ways. Aside from punting his gym-leader duties, scaring the small children he played card games with, picking fights with other players, and generally being a racist and homophobic creep, he would truck his video game consoles into The GAMe PLACe and take over the shop's flat-screen TV for considerable amounts of time, loudly sang along to [[Britney Spears]] during games, pitched fits inspired by his hatred of the [[Hex Bawx]] in public, and so on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Mimms and Lucas Q&amp;amp;A]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trigger for his permanent ban in [[August 2008]] was a shouting match with a young black kid. That particular incident was merely the straw that broke the camel's back, though — &amp;quot;Mike was looking for any reason to ban him at this point,&amp;quot; says Mimms.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Predictably, Chris did his best to resist getting kicked out of the store. He brought his parents in to argue his case with Michael Snyder, to which Michael responded by calling the [[police]]. Despite a fierce response from [[Barbara Chandler]], Chris and his family failed to move either Michael or the cops, and every indication is that Chris will never be allowed back into the store.&amp;lt;ref name=mimms1/&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Jackie e-mails]], Chris offers his own chronology and version of events. There, he claims that he was thrown out of the store much earlier than Mimms indicates, in June 2008. The so-called &amp;quot;Wii Incident&amp;quot;, according to Chris, was when Michael Snyder forced Chris to stop bogarting the TV for his Wii. Doing this apparently caused a number of children to miss out on obtaining a few trade-only evolution Pokemon. Chris got angry and wrote a letter, sign, or simply scrawled a note on the side of a card box stating &amp;quot;Michael Snyder Loves the &amp;quot;Fiddlesticks&amp;quot; out of Mary Lee Walsh&amp;quot;. This, Chris claimed, was Michael's last straw and he booted him then. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the CWCipedia article for Megan Schroeder, Chris claims that Megan was there the day he was banned and claimed that she just stood there in shock, refusing to speak up for him. In reality, of course, she was simply disgusted by his behavior like any rational person would have been and relieved that his being kicked out of the store would be the last time Chris would ever be in her sight&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Megan_Schroeder&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Also, she refused to defend Chris not because of shock, but because of his sexual harassment, [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|destruction of her dignity]], anger issues and &lt;br /&gt;
overall immaturity, ultimately cementing the fact that nobody wants Chris to ever return to the store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unbanning attempts==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Episode200Comment.PNG|thumb|Chris recounts flipping Michael Snyder the bird.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has repeatedly attempted to overcome his ban and gain readmission to the store. As mentioned in [[Chris_E-mails_2008#July|a July 2008 e-mail]], Chris sent a letter to Michael Snyder shortly after his initial one-month ban. In [[March 2009]] he attempted to apologize in the best way he knew how: [[Apology to Game &amp;amp; Hobby Place|posting a video to YouTube on the off-chance the individual addressed would see it]]. This was [[Chris and remorse|not the most sincere apology in the world]], since Chris made it clear in a [[I_Am_The_TRUE,_Original_CCWC|later video]] that he doesn't really understand why he was thrown out in the first place. A month later, in [[April 2009]], Chris attempted to sneak into the store, but when a cashier recognized him and caught him, Chris ran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost two years after his initial ban from The GAMe PLACe Chris would try again to get the ban lifted. In the Jackie emails Chris reveals that he attempted to go to The GAMe PLACe after church on 11 [[April 2010]]. When one of the cashiers saw Chris and recognized him, he threatened to call the cops. Chris got angry and bolted. The next day Chris visited the store again to talk to Michael Snyder in an attempt to have the ban removed. However, the visit did not turn out in Chris's favor, as [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|the audio from the incident]] shows. Michael refused to revoke the ban (later noting on YouTube, that Chris was actually reading the apology from a pre-written script&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&amp;amp;v=u_p6bShW97Y YouTube comment by Mike]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) and Chris took this about as well as could be expected; he flipped Michael off,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWq4pB_Vikw YouTube comment by Chris]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; yelled &amp;quot;JEW!&amp;quot; at him, and left the store in a huff. [[Chris and the law|The police were called]] about the incident, according to Mimms, but Chris was already long gone by the time they arrived; whether the police's involvement will continue remains to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Chris uploaded the audio of the incident to [[YouTube]], accompanied by a description soliciting harassment and &amp;quot;trolling&amp;quot; of Michael and his fellow employees. However, it was removed from the site in a matter of hours due to a &amp;quot;Terms of Use Violation&amp;quot;. Considering [[Chris and race|Chris's anti-Semitic remark]] directed at Michael, his invitation for others to harass him, and the possibly illegal nature of the recording, it's easy to see why it was pulled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has never fully understood why he was kicked out of the store. According to Mimms, Chris didn't see what was wrong with his behavior at the time,&amp;lt;ref name=ban/&amp;gt; and he evidently hasn't reflected on the subject much in the intervening years. During the April 2010 visit to the store, the only possible grounds for his ban he could remember was the aforementioned &amp;quot;Wii incident.&amp;quot; Later, when he posted an ad on CWCipedia complaining about Snyder's refusal to lift the ban, Chris appeared to believe that the store manager refused to let him in because he hated him personally and [[Kick the Autistic|people with autism in general]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Chris's continued failure to overturn the ban, it is clear that his chances of winning entry to The GAMe PLACe are almost as remote as the chances of his [[duck]] entering [[China]].&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Charlottesville Incident==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 4 [[June 2010]], Chris visited The GAMe PLACe. [[6 June 2010|He claimed]] that he wanted to take a photograph of Snyder to use as a dartboard, but when Snyder saw him with his camera outside, he chased Chris. Chris claimed that he tried to drive away but was accosted by Snyder, his daughter and the police. Snyder's version was more succinct:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|Christian is in my parking lot right now being grilled by [[jerkop|the police]]. He took pictures of my daughter and tried to run me over with his [[car]]. they witness this, and I bet they still do nothing about it.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The police listened to Chris rant about the trolls for a while and eventually sent him home with a warning.&lt;br /&gt;

I just wanted to end this shit. Unfortunatly, he instead went on to cause more drama, and it pissed me off to the point I became an active participant.

I've got an idea that will probably elicit no reaction whatever from Chris but has to be worth a try.  But he's always abandoning accounts and changing his email.  Does anyone have his most up-to-date email address?  Does anyone know if he still even checks it anymore?  I know he said he was giving up internet, but he's still on Flipnote, so you never know.  Thanks a million and Happy Canada Day! --[[User:Manwithoutabody|manwithoutabody]] 19:34 1 July 2010 CEST&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: chrischansonichu@aol.com is and always has been his email account. These days he barely checks it and doesn't reply to anything, so best of luck; I've been bombarding it on and off from various email accounts ever since Sydney got through, but not even a single bite. Emailing Chris at this point is like pissing into an ocean of piss. p.s if your idea is 'pretend to be Megan, pretend to be a girl interested in him, say you dug up patti,pretend you are someone impossible (such as Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)), then I can safely say it won't work.

==I MAD==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, so the 'fan videos' is a cool and entertaining feature that can spice up a boring video page. Like all good ideas, however, something fucktarded has to come along. In this case, I'm talking about the utterly moronic practice of inserting videos that are either unrelated to the topic at hand, not actual Chris videos, or both. I'm not going to point any fingers namely because I've been gone forever and I'm not going to search through histories. Does a video with 'hurr durr i edited clips to make chris say he's gay' belong in the middle of the [[homos]] article? Does [[Sweetheart]] need some totally fucking irrelevant mashup at the top of the page? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At best, this is a misguided attempt at transplanting in humor. At worst, it's namefaggotry. I'm going to be weeding out this crap but it would be nice if certain people actively avoided this level of dumbfuckery. Put fan videos in a segment labeled fan videos, and maybe explain how the fuck it's relevant to the article.&lt;br /&gt;

*I see what you're getting at. I think there are quite a few pages where there's far too many fan videos. A secondary goal of the CWCki which hasn't been quite elaborated on formally is that it should serve to preserve trolling culture and our collective trolling heritage that surrounds Chris. Personally, I think a fan video should only be included in an article if 1) it is notable in itself (see Vivian G's &amp;quot;DYKES DYKES CHINA,&amp;quot; for instance) or 2) it illustrates a point clearly (can't think of a good example at the moment). In any case, it should be done sparingly. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 17:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Why I've banned 16BitAlex ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I was 4 or so, I had an NES when it was still pretty new and my babysitter loved playing it. One time, my mom took away the NES from me because my babysitter was so enamored with the NES, she would forget to, you know, watch me. It's something like that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I really didn't follow shit he did closely because Chris is enough drama to follow. 16BitAlex seemed to be causing drama that was counter productive to the CWCki's goal of documenting the life and times of Christian Weston Chandler. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like he himself tried to ban himself and so I took it upon myself to do the job right for him. Alex, if you're reading this, you are free to appeal this ban. Likewise, he is free to create a new account and start life anew on the CWCki, provided he will not delve too much into his personal life and stay focused on just editing the CWCki. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am really sick of this drama, not so much from CWCki editors but people like Clyde, and I'm afraid the only feasible solution I have was to remove Alex and in a way that was also to protect him because God damn, he is such a damn ass pie. &lt;br /&gt;

== Chris may be eligible for fraud charges ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Greetings all. A friend of mine who used to work as paralegal in social security pointed out that Chris may be eligible for fraud charges. I don't know the exact rules myself, but it seems if you're taking the social security fund and, you are not supposed to have 'substantial assets' (that is, in excess of $2000, sans car and house). Seeing Chris' PS3 and list of purchases, he is very likely to have gone through that limit. Unless he could provide evidence that he is disabled for work, he may face up to 10 years in jail for the fraud charge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SSA office in charge of Virginia should be 1470 Pantops Mountain Place, Charlottesville - (434) 295-1144 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              (434) 295-1144      end_of_the_skype_highlighting (reopens on 6th of July I heard). I can't report this issue due to me not being a US citizen, so I'm just pointing a possibility here.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Short answer:''' either you didn't hear your friend correctly, or he's a moron. Chris will never be pulled in on fraud charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Long answer:''' Assets that would be countable include excess real property, the fair market value of vehicles other than your primary vehicle, balances in savings accounts, excess burial plots, and revocable trusts. Legally, Chris owns very little, his parents owning all the real property (the house and land) and the accounts. Generally, items like TVs and PS3s aren't counted in the count of substantial assets, and oh god the legal shitstorm from revoking SSDI benefits because of DLC would be terrifying. Finally, the defense would have a field day with excuses on why he couldn't have understood the restriction. You might be thinking of &amp;quot;substantial gainful activity&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;SGA&amp;quot;), but that would be work which Chris.....doesn't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and '''Supplemental Security Income =/= Social Security Disability Insurance'''. I'm fairly certain Chris receives a check from the latter, so it's more application based than needs based.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-[[User:Jump|attorney at lol]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sadly, I think the only thing Chris risks is a weekly follow-up with a social worker. I don't think I will see a judge punishing an autistic manchild on his first fraud offence. I am ready to bet an old 5$ that he will receive no punitive damages at all. [[User:Griffintown|Griffintown]] 06:15, 3 July 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
so, i'm thinking about remaking the community portal as an actual portal. that is, a place with links to discussion areas for different topics. one of these would be about speculation, which leads me onto my next change: no more speculation in articles, unless it is ''extremely'' related. some articles have way too fucking much armchair psychology, which really has no place in the main namespace. this is an encyclopaedia of facts, not a gigantic talk page, so please confine your guesswork to either article discussion pages(if it is important to improving the article, i.e. decoding/translating chris's bullshit) or the speculation place(once it's made). please discuss how the community portal should be revamped, such as what discussion pages to create. --[[User:Cogsdev|Cogsdev]] 09:21, 4 July 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
