The '''Watchmen''' is the name given to a group of fantastical enablers whose members serve as gatekeepers and [[white knights]] for Chris, in a similar manner as their predecessors, the [[Guard Dogs]]. Their goal is to keep away malicious individuals trying to troll or scam Chris.

As a faction, the Watchmen were instrumental in numerous events over the course of late 2019 onwards, such as attempting to dismantle [[Jacob Sockness]]’s influence over Chris and drive him off. They also shut down the Arbitarch CWC Alliance Discord server when the true intent of the server was revealed. Chris has maintained contact with the Watchmen since they first approached him, including [[CWC and Friends on Google Hangout (July 20th, 2020)|chatting with them]] on [[Discord Q&A 4|Google Hangouts]] and over [[Discord]]. The Watchmen were behind the [[2020 Discord leaks|Discord leaks in August 2020]].

Their approach is controversial as they gained Chris's favor by means of [[Enablers|enabling]] his delusions by pretending to be fellow [[CPU]] goddesses and encouraging his beliefs in [[magical thinking]] and the [[Dimensional Merge]]. The Watchmen track and collect information on anyone involved with- or trying to get involved with- Chris, and hold no qualms about doxing potential weens, trolls, and a-logs.
The '''Watchmen''' (sometimes mistakenly refered to as '''"the Watchdogs"''') were a clique of fanatical [[enablers]] whose members served as [[gatekeepers]] and [[white knights]] for [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]. Their goal was to keep away malicious individuals trying to troll or scam Chris. In practice, however, the clique was highly aggressive towards outsiders coming into contact with Chris whether they demonstrated malice or not. Watchmen members tracked and collected information on anyone involved with - or attempting to get involved with - Chris, and had little hesitation in regards to doxing any potential [[weens]], [[trolls]], and [[A-Log|A-logs]].<ref name=OwlsFeud>{{Cite farms|thread=75256|wayback=20211102022529|title= Orbiter general thread}}</ref> Hostilities were occasionally shown in the form of feuds, with rumors and disinformation spread by members [[MKRNightVee]], [[Naught]], [[The WCT]], and [[XIII]] on their perceived enemies, or raids by various Watchmen members. Infighting ran rampant, with the group splintering into a few iterations over internal conflicts. After Chris was jailed for [[Affair with Mother|incest]], their purpose became moot.


While they share a name with the 1986/1987 DC Comics limited series by Alan Moore, David Gibbons, and John Higgins, the 2009 film adaptation (which is [[Emily Date Conversation Transcript|not that long of a movie]], according to [[Emily]] and [[The Man in the Pickle Suit]]), the 2019 HBO series, and the various comic book spin-offs, the Watchmen do not take inspiration from the franchise, in contrast to how [[The Miscreants]] modeled themselves after the Patriots from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''. Nonetheless, fan art from Christorians and other avid observers of Chris make this connection.
Their approach was rather controversial, as they gained Chris's favor by means of [[Enablers|enabling]] his delusions by pretending to be fellow [[CPU]] goddesses and encouraging his beliefs in [[magical thinking]] and the [[Dimensional Merge]]. Another tactic they used was in drawing [[fanart]] for him, typically for fantasy immersion - such art features Chris or Watchmen members in CPU or [[Sonichu_(species)|Sonichu]] forms; the art was usually drawn by either [[MKRNightVee]] or [[AquaDiamond8]]. They have also made use of the OC [[Lainchu]], played by at least four members of the group.


==Origins==
As a faction, the Watchmen were involved in several events over the course of late [[2019]] onwards, such as attempting to dismantle [[Jacob Sockness]]’s influence over Chris and drive him off. They also shut down the Arbitarch CWC Alliance [[Discord]] server from Naught's allegation that the server was being used to gather content.<ref>[[Naught#History]]</ref> Chris had contact with the Watchmen, including [[CWC and Friends on Google Hangout (July 20th, 2020)|chatting with them]] on [[Discord Q&A 4|Google Hangouts]] and over [[Discord]]. The Watchmen were also behind the [[2020 Discord leaks|Discord leaks in August 2020]], and the [[Discord Q&A]]s.
What eventually became the Watchmen group had its roots in the CWC Rebellion Discord server. There, Owls met MKRNightVee and Talia (whom Owls described as "a person exploiting and egging MKR on to talk to Chris").<ref name=owlsaccount>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1257#post-7343340 (Archive: https://archive.fo/06IZx)</ref>


MKRNightVee got into contact with Chris through a friend looking up his phone number.<ref name=cap2>https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/discordgirl2-png.644832/</ref> Owls tried to coach MKRNightVee and avoid problems,<ref name=cpuowls>https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/discordgirl5-png.644835/</ref> though he admits he didn't do well at it.<ref name=owlsaccount></ref>
The group existed in various forms from 2019-2021 and was given its current name on [[August 2020]] by [[Klop]], as a reference to the 1986/1987 DC Comics limited series by Alan Moore, David Gibbons, and John Higgins.<ref>[[Talk:Watchmen#Title]]</ref> However, the Watchmen themselves did not model their online personas after characters from the DC franchise, in contrast to how [[The Miscreants]] presented themselves as a shadowy cabal like the Patriots from their inspiration, ''[[Metal Gear]]''. Rather, many of its members modeled their personas after fanmade [[CPU Goddesses]].


After MKRNightVee had been in contact with Chris for some time, Owls came up with the idea to try to [[manipulate]] Chris's beliefs away from the [[Dimensional Merge]] through telling him that the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|CPU goddesses]] had relocated to Earth. MKR recruited her friends to role-play as CPUs to Chris over Discord; Owls acted as a gatekeeper between MKR's friends and Chris.<ref name=cpuowls></ref>

[[File:Lainchu.jpg|thumb|200px|Lainchu, as drawn by MKRNightVee.]]
'''Lainchu''', also known '''Lainchu the Chronicler''', is an OC created by Chris, whose purpose is to document Chris's activities (and unofficially, to provide Christorians with first hand information). Since 7 August 2020, Chris has assigned the role to one of the Watchmen, with the role initially assigned to the CWCki Discord server creator, [[User:Klop|Klop]]; however, as of late [[August 2020]], Klop has resigned from the role and another user has taken on the mantle, with Chris none the wiser.


Chris based the OC on the protagonist of the [[anime]], ''[[Wikipedia:Serial Experiments Lain|Serial Experiments Lain]]'', in which a teenage girl finds herself engaging with a virtual world network, reminiscent of the [[internet]].
According to Naught, from Owls account, Owls acted as liaison between the CPU group and [[Marvin]] of the [[Guard Dogs]] group (the latter also being gatekeepers to Chris at the time) but Naught claimed that Owls wasn't reporting back to Marvin. Owls later left the group.<ref name=naughtclarify>[[Naught#Follow-up on Origins]]</ref>


===The WCT===
Naught claims that due to internal conflicts between the Arbitarch Alliance, some of which involved events having to do with Chris such as the handling of BABscon and the [[Chris Chan Vs. The Internet]] documentary, he shut down the group, and took the role of leader away from Owls, ultimately leading to the creation of the Watchmen under his leadership. Naught had then doxed several of the members that opted out of the group, or were in conflicts with him, on Kiwi Farms about a year later.
[[File:The WCT avatar.png|thumb|200px|The WCT's avatar.]]


'''The WCT''', also known as WildCat and Neko Onyx, is a Watchmen member who has archived calls involving Chris. Before becoming a Watchman, he had been observing Chris and watching [[Chris-Chan: A Comprehensive History]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psI8P3gbSM4]</ref>
==Reveal==
The Watchmen group revealed its presence in [[August 2020]]. The reveal was seemingly spurred by a video Chris secretly produced on 6 August, [[Chris's Last Will and Testament]], which he decided to share with the Watchman member [[Naught]].<ref>[[Naught DMs]]</ref> Concerned over the contents of the video, a CWCki account was made by Naught and the video leaked to the public. Days later, on 10 August, Naught entered the [[Official CWCki Server]] and leaked [[:Category:2020 Discord leaks|a large amount of material Chris had shared with the group]] over the past year. He then invited Chris into the server to take fan questions (though moderators decided to remove Chris from the server four days later).<ref>[[Official CWCki Server]]</ref>

The Watchmen hosted various untrusted guests such as [[Jacob Sockness]] and [[Praetor]] in their Discord servers, assigning them to the First Layer of channels which Chris and themselves could view, and blocking them from viewing the Second Layer, where the Watchmen could discuss them in private.


==Ex-members==
The Knights had taken a page from this, and also hosted "untrusted guests", such as [[Bella]] and [[Fiona]] in their Discord server, assigning them to the First Layer of channels which Chris and themselves could view, and blocking them from viewing the Second Layer, where the Knights could discuss them in private.

===AquaDiamond8===
Due to their shared involvement in Christory, most especially with regards to the [[Incest Call]], their planned involvement with [[Everfree Northwest]], and the speculation about them that followed afterwards, two particular "untrusted guests", Bella and Fiona, are referred to as "'''The Untrusted Guests'''", to refer to them as a duo.

In November 2019, during the [[Jacob Sockness]] saga, in order to lure Chris away from Sockness, Aqua joined the Watchmen and embraced Chris's delusional beliefs, changing her Twitter handle to '''CPU Goddess Aqua of the Mac Book Pro'''. Later, Aqua began drawing fanart of her [[OC]] interacting with [[Magi-Chan]].<ref>http://archive.md/lGets</ref> She then posted a Pokémon drawing, claiming it to be an alt-dimension Magi-Chan:<ref>http://archive.md/ETlxV</ref>

===Praetor===
{{Main|Praetor-Watchmen Conflicts|Taser}}
[[Praetor]] is a group of [[carpetbaggers]] that first interacted with Chris around 22 [[September 2020]]. They are most known for running [[OfficialCWCmart]], a shop which sold Chris-themed items with his approval. Several Watchmen members spoke with [[Caden Peck]], the leader of Praetor, but talks quickly disintegrated. The Watchmen were highly hostile towards Praetor, despite the two groups having overlap with similar interactions with Chris. In some cases, the Watchmen's hostility stemmed from their misunderstanding the situation, such as Chris's royalty pay - some Watchmen incorrectly believed Chris's cut should have constituted nearly all of Praetor's revenue. In other cases, Watchmen lied about Praetor to the public, seen with the [[taser]] controversy. The hostility was so prevalent that Chris took notice and chastised the Watchmen over it. Ultimately, the Watchmen failed in their attempts to drive Praetor away.


As of early September 2020, Aqua is confirmed to no longer be involved with the Watchmen's activities:
===Bella===


{{quoteboxgreen|in all honesty at first i genuinly wanted to help chris but after the incident with Wendy i wanted to make things better, and try to help him, and as someone with autism, and who has family that acts like chris, i knew how dificult it is to get them to beleive certain things. I guess going along with it and pretending to be a goddess was better than letting her be on her own and let someone else take advantage of her.
Chris told a group of Watchmen about an animation Bella made for Praetor, which caused suspicion when Chris mistakenly referred to her as one of their members. The WCT, whose group's ruleset was much more lenient to Chris orbiters, took her being in his server as a way of getting back at the Watchmen, citing MKR being upset at the Watchmen being "defeated" by them.


Note that i never wanted anything from Chris, and did want to help, and despite what Dillin says about MKR or some of the "enamblers, not all of them are bad, MKR is the nicest person i know and i know that she truely does care for Chris.

The Watchman Val had face doxed Fiona, and leaked her YouTube account onto the CWCki Discord server, causing him to get banned. <ref>[[The Knights of CWC chats (July 2021)#Discussing Snoo's Involvement, Chris is Served an EPO]]</ref> Fiona was also one of the people interviewed by the Watchmen in the Regarding Chris group chat after the Incest Call was leaked.

On 11 [[October 2025]], he posted [[User:Hurtful Truth Level/On The Captain|an essay]] to the CWCki clarifying aspects of the [[Guard Dogs]] saga.


'''Meghan Kathleen Ringo''' (born 24 April 1992), also known under the aliases '''MKRNightVee''', '''CPUMagentaHeart''' and '''thepixietailartist''') appeared in early [[2019]]. She got into contact with Chris through a friend looking up Chris's phone number for her.<ref name=cap2></ref> She presented herself to Chris as being the [[CPU]] goddess of the [[Nintendo Switch]], offering him validation on his fantasies of having magic powers.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/meghan-k-ringo-mkrnightvee.52454/</ref> She has stated that her goal isn't to feed into Chris's delusions so much as to offer advice and help.<ref>[[:File:MKR motives.png]]</ref> Chris offered her several of his possessions in his [[Chris's Last Will and Testament|Last Will and Testament]].
==Discord==
{{Main|The Place}}
The Watchmen's primary platform for reaching out to Chris and people that they suspected as being weens was Discord.


She set up a Discord group for Chris, telling her friends to role-play as [[CPU]] goddesses to gain Chris's trust, while also instituting a no-trolling rule.<ref>[[:File:MKR Discord Rules.png]]</ref>
===Server Structure===


During the [[TF2 Analysis]] saga, she created an alt Twitter account named [[Creamarina]] and shared it with Chris to enable him to evade blocks.<ref>[[Misc texts#Creamarina]]</ref>
[[File:Watchmen Discord The Place.png|thumb|150px|Watchmen server [[The Place]]. Second layer channels are visible in this image under "2nd Layer".]]
[[File:Watchmen Discord The Knights of CWC.png|thumb|150px|Watchmen server [[The Knights of CWC]]. Second layer channels are visible in this image under "Private".]]


During the [[Jacob Sockness]] saga, in which Sockness attempted to manipulate Chris into a sexual relationship, MKR saw the danger in Sockness's intent, and steered Chris away from him in summer 2019; Sockness, who at the time was engaging in a full-scale war against Chris's enablers, followers and critics alike, considered MKR to be an enemy of his, and abused her verbally on Twitter as his second dramatic cycle approached its climax in early [[November 2019|November]]. She, as well as Aqua, largely mitigated Sockness's influence over Chris, though Chris was still willing to listen to Sockness.
Both The Place and The Knights of CWC Discord servers were structured to have two layers of channels. The Watchmen assigned roles to server members to allow them to view certain layers.


In March 2021, she gave up on helping Chris when she learned that he was planning on [[Taser Discussion|playing with a taser]] with his new friend group [[Praetor]], sending an angry Tweet directed towards him which expressed her disdain, before deleting her Twitter account altogether a few days later.<ref>https://twitter.com/MKR11217089/status/1368024530325630980 (Archive https://archive.fo/rXsVi)</ref>
The '''First Layer''' included a General channel for Chris to chat in. Chris and the Watchmen's Untrusted Guests could view and post only in the First Layer.


==Q&A==
The '''Second Layer''' included a channel for discussion of Chris. The layer was hidden from Chris and Untrusted Guests to enable the Watchmen to hold discussions.
A Christorian interviewed Naught on 4 September 2020, asking some clarifying questions about the Watchmen. They posted the answers on the Official CWCki Discord. The interviewer's questions are color-coded red, with Naught's responses color-coded white.

This article is still yet to be completed due to stress.

We get a lot of stressful torture in our lives that makes us crash into slumber. Given that inspiration is a big variable, and we may have been lacking of it, this article will be completed as soon as possible, at our own pace... HONEST!

This article is missing the following:

PROTIP:
For the sake of clarity, the term "Watchmen" will strictly refer to any of the active members from The Place server, as the name was created after the group was discovered, and several iterations of the group, all with different leaderships, names, and rules, came about, both before and after the name was made.
“ You brought so much fucking joy to this world and you continue to do so. That's why [...] you need to remain safe. ”
Naught, one of the Watchmen, to Chris.[1]
“ Something going further wrong in the group once again? ”
Chris, showing awareness of the group's tendency for internal drama.[2]


Watchmen
Information
Name Watchmen
Also known as Watchdogs
Saga Arbitarch, Secret Shipfic, Watchmen, Crystalgate, Lainchu, Twilight

The Watchmen (sometimes mistakenly refered to as "the Watchdogs") were a clique of fanatical enablers whose members served as gatekeepers and white knights for Chris. Their goal was to keep away malicious individuals trying to troll or scam Chris. In practice, however, the clique was highly aggressive towards outsiders coming into contact with Chris whether they demonstrated malice or not. Watchmen members tracked and collected information on anyone involved with - or attempting to get involved with - Chris, and had little hesitation in regards to doxing any potential weens, trolls, and A-logs.[3] Hostilities were occasionally shown in the form of feuds, with rumors and disinformation spread by members MKRNightVee, Naught, The WCT, and XIII on their perceived enemies, or raids by various Watchmen members. Infighting ran rampant, with the group splintering into a few iterations over internal conflicts. After Chris was jailed for incest, their purpose became moot.

Their approach was rather controversial, as they gained Chris's favor by means of enabling his delusions by pretending to be fellow CPU goddesses and encouraging his beliefs in magical thinking and the Dimensional Merge. Another tactic they used was in drawing fanart for him, typically for fantasy immersion - such art features Chris or Watchmen members in CPU or Sonichu forms; the art was usually drawn by either MKRNightVee or AquaDiamond8. They have also made use of the OC Lainchu, played by at least four members of the group.

As a faction, the Watchmen were involved in several events over the course of late 2019 onwards, such as attempting to dismantle Jacob Sockness’s influence over Chris and drive him off. They also shut down the Arbitarch CWC Alliance Discord server from Naught's allegation that the server was being used to gather content.[4] Chris had contact with the Watchmen, including chatting with them on Google Hangouts and over Discord. The Watchmen were also behind the Discord leaks in August 2020, and the Discord Q&As.

The group existed in various forms from 2019-2021 and was given its current name on August 2020 by Klop, as a reference to the 1986/1987 DC Comics limited series by Alan Moore, David Gibbons, and John Higgins.[5] However, the Watchmen themselves did not model their online personas after characters from the DC franchise, in contrast to how The Miscreants presented themselves as a shadowy cabal like the Patriots from their inspiration, Metal Gear. Rather, many of its members modeled their personas after fanmade CPU Goddesses.

Origins

Main article: Arbitarch CWC Alliance
Christian Weston Manhattan

What eventually became the Watchmen can be tied back to Chris's interactions with Meghan Kathleen Ringo, more commonly known as MKRNightVee or MKR. MKR got into contact with Chris through a friend looking up his phone number.[6] Owls tried to coach MKR[6] and avoid problems, though he admits he didn't do well at it.[7]

After MKR had been in contact with Chris for some time, Owls came up with the idea to try to manipulate Chris's beliefs away from the Dimensional Merge through telling him that the CPU goddesses had relocated to Earth. MKR recruited her friends to role-play as CPUs to Chris over Discord; Owls acted as a gatekeeper between MKR's friends and Chris.[6]

“ time passed talking with Meghan for about a month or so there came an idea from me in the most autistic way possible "convince Chris that merge wasn't happening and that CPU had decided to be on earth and act like normal people in society". foolishly believing this would work Meghan gathered some people from different servers she said we could trust and we made a server. this idea failed and when the first person decided to brag about it on a different discord I shut down the idea. ”
Owls[7]

According to Naught, from Owls account, Owls acted as liaison between the CPU group and Marvin of the Guard Dogs group (the latter also being gatekeepers to Chris at the time) but Naught claimed that Owls wasn't reporting back to Marvin. Owls later left the group.[8]

Naught claims that due to internal conflicts between the Arbitarch Alliance, some of which involved events having to do with Chris such as the handling of BABscon and the Chris Chan Vs. The Internet documentary, he shut down the group, and took the role of leader away from Owls, ultimately leading to the creation of the Watchmen under his leadership. Naught had then doxed several of the members that opted out of the group, or were in conflicts with him, on Kiwi Farms about a year later.

Reveal

The Watchmen group revealed its presence in August 2020. The reveal was seemingly spurred by a video Chris secretly produced on 6 August, Chris's Last Will and Testament, which he decided to share with the Watchman member Naught.[9] Concerned over the contents of the video, a CWCki account was made by Naught and the video leaked to the public. Days later, on 10 August, Naught entered the Official CWCki Server and leaked a large amount of material Chris had shared with the group over the past year. He then invited Chris into the server to take fan questions (though moderators decided to remove Chris from the server four days later).[10]

The Players

Members

Main article: Watchmen members

Untrusted Guests

See also: Jacob Sockness, Praetor, Isabella Loretta Janke, and Fiona
The WCT discusses in the Second Layer about allowing Bella into the Knights of CWC server.

The Watchmen hosted various untrusted guests such as Jacob Sockness and Praetor in their Discord servers, assigning them to the First Layer of channels which Chris and themselves could view, and blocking them from viewing the Second Layer, where the Watchmen could discuss them in private.

The Knights had taken a page from this, and also hosted "untrusted guests", such as Bella and Fiona in their Discord server, assigning them to the First Layer of channels which Chris and themselves could view, and blocking them from viewing the Second Layer, where the Knights could discuss them in private.

Due to their shared involvement in Christory, most especially with regards to the Incest Call, their planned involvement with Everfree Northwest, and the speculation about them that followed afterwards, two particular "untrusted guests", Bella and Fiona, are referred to as "The Untrusted Guests", to refer to them as a duo.

Behavior

Toxic trio

Main article: Toxic Trio

The "toxic trio" is Chris's term for former members Naught, Kyle, and MKRNightVee.[11]

Rationalizations for Enabling

Some Watchmen have come to rationalize why they enable Chris.

In a 9 March 2021 Discord Chat; MKR, Kyle, and an unknown Watchman were discussing that they needed to enable Chris with his delusions for his own safety, as they believed that "he wouldn't last long".[12]

Interactions with others

Ben Saint

Ben Saint is an enabler who exploited Chris's infamy to boost his own webcomic series by inserting Chris's Night Star OC, which led to conflict with Chris.

On 23 September 2019, Watchmen members raided a Twitch stream of Ben's to call him out.[13]

Dillin Thomas

On 24 January 2020, Dillin Thomas uploaded a recording of Watchmen members harassing him on Discord.

Midnight Moonflower

See also: Midnight's Nightlings and Starettes

Midnight Moonflower is a former friend of Chris who met him at a BronyCon. The Watchmen raided her Discord server to intimidate its members over Chris being a member of the server.[14][15]

Praetor

Main articles: Praetor-Watchmen Conflicts and Taser

Praetor is a group of carpetbaggers that first interacted with Chris around 22 September 2020. They are most known for running OfficialCWCmart, a shop which sold Chris-themed items with his approval. Several Watchmen members spoke with Caden Peck, the leader of Praetor, but talks quickly disintegrated. The Watchmen were highly hostile towards Praetor, despite the two groups having overlap with similar interactions with Chris. In some cases, the Watchmen's hostility stemmed from their misunderstanding the situation, such as Chris's royalty pay - some Watchmen incorrectly believed Chris's cut should have constituted nearly all of Praetor's revenue. In other cases, Watchmen lied about Praetor to the public, seen with the taser controversy. The hostility was so prevalent that Chris took notice and chastised the Watchmen over it. Ultimately, the Watchmen failed in their attempts to drive Praetor away.

Bella

Chris told a group of Watchmen about an animation Bella made for Praetor, which caused suspicion when Chris mistakenly referred to her as one of their members. The WCT, whose group's ruleset was much more lenient to Chris orbiters, took her being in his server as a way of getting back at the Watchmen, citing MKR being upset at the Watchmen being "defeated" by them.

Fiona

The Watchman Val had face doxed Fiona, and leaked her YouTube account onto the CWCki Discord server, causing him to get banned. [16] Fiona was also one of the people interviewed by the Watchmen in the Regarding Chris group chat after the Incest Call was leaked.

The American Hedgehog

Hurtful's Kiwi Farms profile picture
“ I was a lurker in the The Place and Knights Watchmen servers but not actively. I’d generally peer in when Chris posted in the 1st layer which was easy to tell because he’d @ everyone. Sometimes I’d look at the 2nd hidden layer to see what they were discussing, and most of it seemed boring to me - commentary about CWC Twitter updates, his weens, personal talk, off-topic posting, etc. ”
Hurtful Truth Level on his observations of The Place server.[17]

The American Hedgehog, also known as Hurtful Truth Level, is a Kiwi Farms and r/ChrisChanSonichu moderator, and a jerkop, bureaucrat, and admin for the CWCki. He was a member of The Place after being invited in August 2020, and is responsible for leaking content from the server from both the First and Second Layer, and making it accessible as of July 2025. He also joined the Knights of CWC server after being invited by WCT. Despite Anaxis' claims that he is "pretty strictly an observer in the purest sense",[18] Hurtful has conversed directly with Chris on at least two occasions.[19][20]

On 11 October 2025, he posted an essay to the CWCki clarifying aspects of the Guard Dogs saga.

Discord

Main article: The Place

The Watchmen's primary platform for reaching out to Chris and people that they suspected as being weens was Discord.

Server Structure

Watchmen server The Place. Second layer channels are visible in this image under "2nd Layer".
Watchmen server The Knights of CWC. Second layer channels are visible in this image under "Private".

Both The Place and The Knights of CWC Discord servers were structured to have two layers of channels. The Watchmen assigned roles to server members to allow them to view certain layers.

The First Layer included a General channel for Chris to chat in. Chris and the Watchmen's Untrusted Guests could view and post only in the First Layer.

The Second Layer included a channel for discussion of Chris. The layer was hidden from Chris and Untrusted Guests to enable the Watchmen to hold discussions.
