The '''Watchmen''' were a group of fanatical [[enablers]] whose members served as gatekeepers and [[white knights]] for [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]], in a similar manner as their predecessors, the [[Guard Dogs]]. Their goal was to keep away malicious individuals trying to troll or scam Chris, and as such wound up in conflict with [[Sockness]], [[Praetor]] and various other members of the rogue's gallery of the CWC universe. The group had a few iterations but with Chris currently jailed for [[incest]] their purpose has become moot. Furthermore, unfortunately, some of the problems were coming from within their own house, namely [[Sean Walker]], who with the Watchmen mainly used the names ''Conner'' and ''neko''. Sean was able to effectively wrest control of Chris from the rest of the Watchmen, and use said control to found his own enabling group, the [[Watchmen#The Knights of CWC|Knights of CWC]].

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 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.
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.


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]]. The Watchmen tracked and collected information on anyone involved with - or attempting to get involved with Chris, and had little to hesitation in regards to doing any potential [[weens]], [[trolls]], and [[A-Log|A-logs]].
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.


While they shared 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 apparently did not take inspiration from the franchise, in contrast to how [[The Miscreants]] modeled themselves after the Patriots from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''.
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.
 
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]].

What eventually became the Watchmen group had its roots in the CWC Rebellion Discord server. There, Owls met Meghan (aka 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>

What eventually became the Watchmen group had its roots in the CWC Rebellion Discord server, a trolling group.

After Meghan 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. Meghan 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>

According to Bismuth, 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 Bismuth claimed that Owls wasn't reporting back to Marvin. Owls later left the group.<ref name=naughtclarify></ref>

==Reveal==
==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 Bismuth.<ref>[[Bismuth DMs]]</ref> Concerned over the contents of the video, a CWCki account was made by the Watchmen and the video leaked to the public. Days later, on 10 August, Bismuth entered the Official CWCki Server [[Discord]] 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>[[Discord#Official CWCki Server]]</ref>

[[File:CPUBismuthHeart.jpg|150px|thumb|Avatar of CPU Bismuth Heart.]]
{{main|Watchmen members}}
'''Bismuth''' was the second leader of the Watchmen, taking over the group after Owls left.<ref name=naughtclarify></ref> He monitored and doxed potential weens or outside enablers. He went by many usernames - he used "Bismuth" to Chris and used multiple aliases in public postings. While he was in the CWCki Discord server, he often used an emoticon of a heart. For the [[Kiwi Farms]], he went by names/accounts including "Naught", "anameisaname", "death of chans", and "Nightmare"<ref name=naughtthread></ref> - he was eventually banned from the forum for use of multiple sockpuppet accounts, advertising, and liking his own posts with sock accounts.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/corbindallasmultipass-memorial-thread.30974/post-9227018</ref>{{PublicSource}}
 
In [[June 2021]], conflict arose between Bismuth and fellow Watchman [[Sean Walker|The WCT]], stemming from an allegation Bismuth had doxed the latter.<ref name=naughtthread></ref> Following a Lolcow.org thread on the ex-member of the group, an audio voice clip of Chris saying “Fuck Bismuth!”<ref>https://www.lolcow.org/data/audio/7/7468-370ce5544aee794a8de75b3181dd6c0f.mp3</ref> suggested that Chris sided against Bismuth in the dispute.
 
===The WCT===
[[File:BiggusDorkus.png|thumb|200px]]
 
{{Main|Sean Walker}}
 
'''Sean Walker''', primarily known in the context of the Watchmen as '''Conner''' or '''neko''', or in the broader Internet as '''the WCT''', archived calls involving Chris and occasionally gave interviews to observers. In November 2020, Chris took an interest in spree killer [[Randy Stair]], whose belief system regarding cartoons and alternative universes bears more than a passing relationship with Chris's, after watching a YouTube documentary on Stair produced by Sean. In February 2021, Sean attempted to become the fourth person behind the role of Lainchu but Chris rejected his attempt. He was instrumental in the eventual downfall of the Watchmen, admitting in private that he had been "working with Former Kiwi Farmers to bring down the Watchmen" out of a personal dislike of Bismuth, which led to a cascade of events in which multiple people were doxxed and Chris left the Watchmen's server.<ref name="WCTThread>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/sean-walker-psychic-espeon-wct-wildcat-neko.97689 Sean Walker / @Psychic Espeon / Lainchu / WCT / WildCat / Neko (etc.) - Self-described "Final Protagonist of Christory", spree-killer fanboy, connected to Bellagate]</ref> He would go on to found [[Watchmen#The Knights of CWC|The Knights of CWC]], a Watchmen splinter group, where eventually Chris invited [[Isabella Loretta Janke]]. Prior to Chris's arrest for [[incest]], Sean reached out to Bella again asking for her side of the story, who was able to manipulate Sean into attempting to shift blame from Isabella to the [[Suitress]].

'''Meghan Kathleen Ringo''' (born 24 April 1992), also known under the aliases '''MKRNightVee''', '''CPUMagentaHeart''' and '''thepixietailartist''', and sometimes referred to as '''Maker''' by Chris, 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]].
 
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>
 
During the [[TF2 Analysis|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>
 
During the [[Jacob Sockness]] saga, in which Sockness attempted to manipulate Chris into a sexual relationship, Meghan saw the potential danger in Sockness's activities, and steered Chris away from him during 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 a notable enemy of his, and apparently 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.
[[File:mkrragequit.png|200px|thumb|left|Meghan ragequits in March 2021.]]
In March 2021, MKR temporarily 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 a few days later.<ref>https://twitter.com/MKR11217089/status/1368024530325630980 (Archive https://archive.fo/rXsVi)</ref> However, she reactivated her account, and tweeted again to Chris in April, replying to Chris tagging her to show her a gif file,<ref>https://twitter.com/MKR11217089/status/1380732044951515137 (archive: https://archive.fo/fL8wZ)</ref> and later to reply to another of Chris's tweets in order to call [[Other enablers#Helena Fiorenza|one of his enablers]] a faggot.<ref>https://twitter.com/MKR11217089/status/1380756077864620033 (archive: https://archive.fo/Ybm8P)</ref>
 
In June 2021, internal conflict arose among Watchmen members over Bismuth allegedly doxing The WCT which resulted in the group separating. Meghan had sided with Bismuth and Chris against, leading to Chris distancing himself from Meghan in the fallout. On 29 June, Meghan tagged Chris’s Twitter and posted, “Your obviously good at using people and then moving on to the next. Have fun getting fucked over by WCT and [[Praetor]].”<ref>https://twitter.com/MKR11217089/status/1410076709148266498 (archive: https://archive.fo/zb0wM)</ref> She followed up by tweeting that she regretted having spent her time drawing art for Chris and accused him of being unappreciative of it.<ref>https://twitter.com/MKR11217089/status/1411511053872025605 (archive: https://archive.fo/8WSOI)</ref>

[[File:Magi-Chan and AquaDiamond8.jpg|AquaDiamond8 and Magi-Chan. Drawn by Aqua November 2019.|thumb|200px]]
 
'''AquaDiamond8''' is a Twitter user who has bounced from being a [[ween]],<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/page-988#post-4495303</ref> to a [[white knight]], to an enabler and Watchman. In November 2019, during the [[Jacob Sockness]] saga, in hopes 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>
 
In [[September 2020]], Aqua confirmed in the comments of a Dillin Thomas video that they were no longer a part of the Watchmen.
 
{{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.
 
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.
 
I wanted to to help them with keeping sockness away from Chris and though it took some time ive seen chris is no longer taking his crap serious.

===Owls===
[[File:Ryan Owls.png|thumb|150px|Owls IRL.]]
The original founder of the organization went by '''Owls''' in his interactions with the Watchmen, and as '''GhostBird50''' on the [[Kiwi Farms]],<ref name=owlsaccount></ref> and as '''CpuTurquoiseHeart''' to Chris,<ref name=cpuowls></ref>.<ref name=naughtclarify>[[:File:Naught origin clarify 1.png]] amd [[:File:Naught origin clarify 2.png]]</ref> Initially, Owls advised MKRNightVee in interacting with Chris and founded the Watchmen's Discord server. Owls also acted as a liaison between Watchmen and [[Guard Dogs]] member Marvin, though fellow Watchman Bismuth alleged that he hadn't been reporting back to Marvin.<ref name=naughtclarify></ref> Owls eventually left the group, stating he wanted no more part in Chris's situation or in Internet drama,<ref>[[:File:Ghostbird_kiwistatus.png]]</ref> and was succeeded by Naught/Bismuth. This seems to have come when he got involved in a feud <ref name=OwlsFeud>{{Cite farms|thread=75256}}</ref> with several other obscure Chris orbiters.
 
===Kyle===
A seemingly minor and or less active member of the Watchmen. '''Kyle''' publicly appeared only in the [[CWC and Friends on Google Hangout (July 20th, 2020)|Google Hangout chats]]. Kyle was also apparently the inspiration for Chris's [[:File:KylechuOC.jpg|Kylechu]] OC. {{Fix-span|{{Notable|section=Kyle suicide baiting}}|Kyle apparently boasted of working at a suicide hotline and inducing callers to go through with taking their own lives,<ref name=kylesuicide>https://www.lolcow.org/threads/naught-bismuth-anameisaname-anon-llc-nitto-nanashi-death-of-chans-doppelganger-tardwarsllc-cpu-bismuth-heart-ctrl-moe.724/post-17264</ref> something which was revealed in Discord leaks, both audio and text.}}
Chris had mixed feelings on Kyle. In a 26 [[June 2021]] text to [[Null]], Chris said on Kyle that he "talks soo damn much, boasting his smart-talk, interrogating my intentions and present mentalities. Damn, he's seriously tiring."<ref>[[Sean Walker Discord DMs#Chris texts Null]]</ref>
 
===Klop===
Additionally notable for being the former administrator of the CWCki Discord, a venue which forbids interaction with Chris on pain of a permaban, as well as an [[User:Klop|editor of this very wiki]], '''klop''' was involved with a considerable amount of interaction with Chris, most notably playing the [[Watchmen#The "Lainchu" Char|Lainchu]] character, as well as being a member/associate of the original Watchmen, albeit one without the prominence of those people listed above. Unlike most of the other minor players. he does not seem to have followed Sean into the Knights schism.
 
===Anaxis===
Also a [[User:Anaxis|CWCki editor]], '''Anaxis''' played the role of Lainchu in the original Watchmen and in Sean's splinter group.
 
==The "Lainchu" Character==
[[File:Lainchu.jpg|thumb|200px|Lainchu, as drawn by MKRNightVee.]]
 
'''Lainchu''', also known as '''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), based 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]].
 
Four Watchmen had taken up the responsibility to [[Role-play|larp]] as Lainchu;


*'''Bismuth''', who originally had the role<ref>[[:File:2021-03-18 Lainchu.png]]</ref>
===Untrusted Guests===
*'''Klop''', who took over in 7 [[August 2020]] until late August
{{See also|Jacob Sockness|Praetor|Isabella Loretta Janke|Fiona}}
*'''Anaxis''', who served as Lainchu from late August to mid [[February 2021]]<ref>[[:File:Lainchu_Anaxis1.png]]</ref><ref>[[:File:Lainchu_Anaxis2.png]]</ref><ref>[[:File:Lainchu_Anaxis3.png]]</ref>, and again in March 2021, after Chris responded poorly to the role-playing of Sean (see below) who could only maintain his attention for about a month.
[[File:Discussioneverfree2.png|thumb|200px|[[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]], [[Praetor]], [[Fiona]], and [[Bella]] 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.


==Discord Servers==
Sockness and Praetor were untrusted guests in [[The Place]], and Bella and [[Fiona]] were untrusted guests in [[Knights of CWC]].
The Watchmen were in various [[Discord]] servers.


===Arbitarch CWC Alliance===
==Behavior==
From before the Watchmen had fully come out to the public, the server was eventually shut down.


===The Place===
===Toxic trio===
[[File:Watchmen Discord The Place.png|thumb|200px|The Place server.]]


The Place is the server Chris was in from 2020-June 2021. In [[August 2020]], the Watchmen announced the presence of the group publicly via the [[:Category:2020 Discord leaks|2020 Discord leaks]]. It was during this time the Watchmen name was adopted to describe the group.
The "toxic trio" is Chris's term for former members [[Naught]], [[Kyle]], and [[MKRNightVee]].<ref>[[MKR DMs#On Chris leaving The Place]]</ref>


Signs of the group collapsing began appearing around late [[June 2021]]. Earlier in the month, The WCT had been doxed on [[Kiwi Farms]] by an account named Nightmare, and signs pointed to fellow Watchman and group leader Bismuth as the person behind the account.<ref name=naughtthread>https://www.lolcow.org/threads/anameisaname-bismuth-anon-llc-naught-nitto-nanashi-death-of-chans-doppelganger-nightmare-tardwarsllc-heart-cpu-bismuth-heart.724/ (archive: https://archive.fo/G30td)</ref> When The WCT confronted Bismuth in a voice chat during the group’s movie night on 21 June, Bismuth denied the allegation, then threatened to further dox The WCT in an attempt to silence him. Kyle and MKRNightVee took Bismuth’s side in the dispute.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3hYztxRHRA </ref>
===Rationalizations for Enabling===


On 25 June, The WCT informed Chris about the infighting. He showed Chris screenshots of Nightmare's Kiwi Farms posts and the voice chat in which he had confronted the group over Bismuth being Nightmare. According to The WCT, Chris gradually processed the information, in particular picking up on red flags from Bismuth in the chat - noticing his defensiveness and hostility towards The WCT. Ultimately, Chris believed The WCT's evidence and apparently cut ties with Bismuth over it.<ref name=wctinterview>[[Watchmen#Interview]]</ref> A leaked voice clip of Chris saying “Fuck Bismuth!”<ref>https://www.lolcow.org/data/audio/7/7468-370ce5544aee794a8de75b3181dd6c0f.mp3</ref> was posted to a Lolcow.org thread made about Bismuth the following day.<ref name=naughtthread></ref>
Some Watchmen have come to rationalize why they enable Chris.


Kyle banned The WCT from the Watchmen's [[Discord]] server. In response, Chris then decided to leave their server. As The WCT explained, "he saw my banning as a signal to him that my suspicions about Bismuth and the others were correct." The [[Praetor]] group, who had also been in the server, left it as well following Chris's departure.<ref name=wctinterview></ref>
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".<ref>[[The Place chats (March 2021)]]</ref>


On 29 June, MKRNightVee made multiple tweets that suggested Chris had cut communications with her. She tagged Chris’s Twitter and posted, “Your obviously good at using people and then moving on to the next. Have fun getting fucked over by WCT and [[Praetor]].”<ref>https://twitter.com/MKR11217089/status/1410076709148266498 (archive: https://archive.fo/zb0wM)</ref> She then followed up with accusations against The WCT, believing him to be messing with Chris and having sinister motives.<ref>https://twitter.com/MKR11217089/status/1410103600932548609 (archive: https://archive.md/UKGom)</ref>
==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.


===The Knights of CWC===
On 23 [[September 2019]], Watchmen members raided a Twitch stream of Ben's to call him out.<ref>https://www.twitch.tv/saintcomix/video/485302712?filter=highlights&sort=time</ref>
[[File:Watchmen Discord The Knights of CWC.png|thumb|200px|left|The Knights of CWC server.]]


'''The Knights of CWC''' was the server Chris was in from late June 2021 until his August 2021 arrest for [[incest]]. It was founded by [[Sean Walker]] following his fallout with Bismuth/Naught over the latter's doxing of the former leading to bad blood between the two of them and between Sean and MKR. The disagreement seems to have been of a personal nature, and related to these two individuals leaking embarrassing material on one another both publicly, and privately to Chris, with Sean eventually being able to win over Chris and convince him that MKR and Sean were [[Nazis]], using a recording from their Discord. Sean was unsure of calling his group by the Watchmen moniker. He also stated he wanted the group be kept secret as the earlier iteration of the Watchmen once had been.<ref>[[:File:WCT on Knights of CWC server.png]]</ref>
===Dillin Thomas===
On 24 [[January 2020]], [[Dillin Thomas]] uploaded a recording of Watchmen members harassing him on Discord.


Notable were disagreements between the leaders of the two groups on how best to handle [[Isabella Loretta Janke]]. According to '''The Fool''', a longtime but now-banned [[Kiwi Farms]] user and lesser-known affiliate of the Watchmen and then the Knights:

{{quoteboxyellow|Neither naught or WCT were friends with bella, bella was in her own little white knight group controlling chris.

WCT said naught actively tried to push bella away which might be why bella was defensive about WCT trying to interact with her, but that's just from what WCT said, I didn't witness anything the Watchmen ever did myself.
===Joseph Draft===
Joseph Draft planned a documentary project titled ''[[Chris Chan VS. The Internet]]''. He made arrangements and filmed footage with Chris before the documentary was cancelled.

both naught and WCT knew bella was a ween but they couldn't get chris to not interact with her, or the [[praetor]] crew in general for that matter. naught tried to outright demonize them while WCT tried to pretend to be friendly with them to facilitate open communication so they could know exactly what praetor was planning next.

==Interviews==
===Praetor===
===Bismuth===
[[Praetor]] is a group of enablers appearing in the fall of [[2020]] who produced and sold Sonichu-themed products with Chris's permission on [[Etsy]] and gave him a portion of the profits in exchange.
On 4 [[September 2020]], a Christorian interviewed Bismuth through Discord, asking questions about the Watchmen. The interviewer's questions are color-coded red, with Bismuth's responses color-coded white.


{{collapsible|Q&A|The first four questions appear to be referring to the [[Arbitarch CWC Alliance]] server.
In [[February 2021]], Chris wanted to borrow Praetor's [[taser]] in order to tase his [[Gate Crystal]] and [[Celestial Key]] [[quartz crystals]], believing this would open an interdimensional portal and bring about the [[Dimensional Merge]].<ref>[[Naught DMs#Chris wants to activate the Merge by playing with taser]]</ref> The Watchmen objected to this plan, to which Praetor member [[Caden]] claimed they would supervise Chris and that he would not be at risk.<ref>[[Thinking with Portals#Praetor and the Taser]]</ref>


{{quoteboxred|Who started it and why?}}
Talks between the two groups quickly disintegrated.<ref>[[The Place chats - Watchmen-Praetor confrontations]]</ref> Watchmen members [[Naught]] and [[MKR]] took to spreading rumors about Praetor, each using out-of-context snippets from the discussions.


{{quoteboxwhite|Owls the guy who set-up mkr and [[Joseph Draft]] got aqua and mkr to draw some art to lure cwc in.}}
Naught made a [[Kiwi Farms]] post in which he posted a clip from the [[Taser Discussion]] voice chat.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Naught)#Taser Discusion clip]]</ref> In the clip, Watchmen member [[Val]] states, "Can you put, 'Can CWC- uh, like, tase himself on video for lulz'." Chris then responds, "I'll do it," to which Val bursts out laughing. [[Praetor]] member Caden then objects, saying, "Look, are you sure- There- they- like, we had a whole discussion about ''why'' it's a bad idea."


{{quoteboxred|How did Chris join there?}}
In Naught's Kiwi Farms post, he alleged that "Caden and cwc as Sonichu prime discuss the tazer and who will be tazed", omitting that Watchmen member Val had brought up the subject and that Caden had objected.


{{quoteboxwhite|I was told it was going to be for Chris's patrons.}}
MKR posted on Twitter to spread a rumor that Praetor wanted to get Chris to use a stun gun on himself. She gave no proof of the allegation, instead posting an out-of-context screenshot<ref>https://twitter.com/MKR11217089/status/1358939937463169024 (archive: https://archive.ph/PYMQh)</ref> from Watchmen-Praetor talks.<ref>[[The Place chats - Watchmen-Praetor confrontations#8 February 2021, part 2]]</ref>


{{quoteboxred|Why was it killed?}}
The Christuber [[GiBi]] believed the Watchmen's spin, creating a video in which he erroneously attributed the members in Naught's clip to Praetor - including the Watchmen Val - as well as reading from MKR's tweet.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4HfueLWzjY&lc=Ugz1EEI4ON6dhsYi1gN4AaABAg</ref> Chris viewed the video and claimed the taser to have been his own idea, defending Praetor.<ref>[[List of Chris's comments on YouTube#Chris Chan is Convinced to Taser Himself]]</ref>


{{quoteboxwhite|It was killed because owls and Joseph didn't know how to wrangle tards. Mkr aqua were being blamed for making it so I asked for a mod role kept asking for more perms and deleted all the channel's. I posted the rolling and trolling vid.}}
Later, Chris criticized [[The Place]] members for their aggressive behavior, though Watchmen members Kyle and MKR immediately resumed hostile remarks towards Praetor, leaving Chris disappointed.<ref>[[The Place chats - Watchmen-Praetor confrontations#13 February 2021]]</ref>


{{quoteboxred|Who killed it?}}
===Bella===


{{quoteboxwhite|I killed it, Joseph and Smokey Chris TheSperge were using the server to gather content, they convinced Joseph I was Johan.
The WCT hosted the [[Regarding Chris]] chats, where he and a few minor Watchmen had interviewed [[Bella]] in order to get an understanding of the Incest Call leaks.

==Discord==


The last two appear to refer to the Watchmen as a group.
The Watchmen's primary platform for reaching out to Chris and people that they suspected as being weens was Discord.

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.


{{quoteboxred|Will this group be around forever?}}
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.


===The WCT===
===Discord servers===
{{Protip|Given the complicated history with WCT, it's possible that at least some of his claims here are not completely TRUE or HONEST. Take everything he says with a grain of salt.}}
Below are a list of several of the Discord Servers that were created for the iniative of the Watchmen.
The WCT was interviewed over Discord about the Watchmen breakup on 11 July 2021. The WCT's messages are in blue and the interviewer's in green.

{{quoteboxgreen|The initial conflict seems to be between you and Bismuth, that Bismuth doxed you. How did it grow to break up the Watchmen group?}}
====Regarding Chris====
{{Main|Regarding Chris chats}}
'''Regarding Chris''' was a group chat created by [[The WCT]] with some of the other Watchmen members from The Knights of CWC server on 30 July 2021. Its purpose was to question [[Bella]] about her role in the [[Incest Call]] leak, since she had been named by [[Null]] as a person involved. However, the move backfired as during the chat, Bella made claims that were later deemed disinformation by observers, such as framing Fiona for being the voice in the call{{refn|group="note"|Noted by observers that Bella's voice matches the voice in the call<ref>{{Cite farms|title=<nowiki>[THREAD RETIRED]</nowiki> Isabella Loretta Janke / Bella the Chris-Chan Incest Troll and her clique of extremely sick people|thread=96787|post=9632321}}</ref>}} and alleging her [[fabricated BDSM texts]] to be legitimate and goading WCT to disseminating the material and naming Fiona as his source.


{{quotebox|After I concluded that it was Bismuth that was responsible for the doxing, I made the choice to contact MKRNightVee (or Meghan some of you know her as) and I showed her a lot of screenshots in DMs that compared the typing style of his old Kiwi Farms accounts to one that he used to dox me. (which was Nightmare)
The full chat was later leaked.<ref name=regarding>[https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/direct-messages-group-regarding-chris-870798769682276363-html.2416228/ Full HTML file of the "Regarding Chris" chat hosted at Kiwi Farms]</ref>
 
I recall telling her that I was 90 percent sure that it was him.
 
But in spite of the evidence that I had presented to her at the time, she didn't believe me. And during our VC on June 21st, She and Kyle were still not convinced.
 
They originally thought it was somebody who I angered in the past, but knowing what the Nightmare account was up to at the time, I knew that it was him.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|How did Chris learn of the dispute?}}
 
{{quotebox|Not long after the VC, I decided that I would contact him myself.
 
So with the help of a Former Watchmen who had his phone number, I was able to get in contact with him on June 25th.
 
And there, I had an hour and 40 minute talk with him that first started off as any conversation I'd usually have with him until I was comfortable enough to tell him the details.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|Did you show Chris the same evidence that you did to MKRNightVee?}}
 
{{quotebox|When I was talking with MKR, I didn't show her as much evidence at the time since the Investigation was still ongoing. And compared to what I shared with Chris, I shared less with MKR.
 
Not because I didn't trust her, but it was because there was not enough information available at the time. And what I ended up showing Chris was a combination of the Kiwi Farms posts and the VC that I had with the rest of the group.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|How did Chris react to it?}}
 
{{quotebox|It took Chris a while to process it.
 
With each screenshot, he began to believe that my claims were true. And when we were both going over the VC, he noticed how Bismuth was getting really defensive and thought that he was clearly lying to me.
 
Especially when I told Bismuth that Josh (Null) claimed to me that him and Nightmare were the same person.
And that 3-4 seconds of silence on his part was something that helped convince Chris that I was in the right.
 
He also noticed how hostile Bismuth was getting towards me as well, especially when I kept on asking him if he doxed me or not. Chris saw that as a red flag.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|Did Chris cut ties with Bismuth?}}
 
{{quotebox|From what I know, yes he did.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|What happened between Chris and MKRNightVee? MKR’s recent tweets indicate they’ve had a falling out. Is it related to the Watchmen breakup?}}
 
{{quotebox|yes it is.
 
Meghan was upset that Chris had sided with me in regards to what had happened.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|How does Praetor fit in to this? MKRNightVee has said in a tweet that you’ve teamed up with them.}}
 
{{quotebox|Praetor had nothing to do with what happened.
 
Its just that when they got word from Chris that he had left the server, they followed. So it makes sense on MKR's part to accuse me of working with them because we all either got banned or left the place at the same time.
 
It was a strange coincidence yes, but there is zero contact between me and Caden.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|What server did Chris leave?}}
 
{{quotebox|The Watchmen's Place.
 
as some of you might've heard of on the CWCki. - https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Discord#The_Watchmen.27s_Place}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|Why did he leave it?}}
 
{{quotebox|when he got word that I got banned from the server (by Kyle that is), he saw it as a green light to leave it himself.
 
So essentially he saw my banning as a signal to him that my suspicions about Bismuth and the others were correct.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|Are you still in contact with Chris?}}
 
{{quotebox|at this moment in time, I'm not.
 
We went our separate ways not long after the Watchmen had broken up and I believe that its for the best for both me and him.
 
And rather or not if he wants to be in touch with me still is completely up to him, but I won't be too surprised if he had already moved on at this point, and I respect whatever path he goes on moving forward.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|Forgot to ask earlier, but what was your motivation for informing Chris of the conflict between you and Bismuth/MKR/Kyle?}}
 
{{quotebox|I was running out of options on what to do. When MKR and Kyle didn't believe my claims, I felt that I had no choice but to inform Chris on what had happened.
 
It was a very risky move on my part to do that, but I don't regret telling him.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|That’s all the questions I have. Thank you for answering. Is there anything else you would like to add?}}
 
{{quotebox|I just want to let people know that Chris is now a free man with nobody to dictate his actions. And for his sake, it needs to remain that way.}}
 
{{quoteboxgreen|Thanks again. I'll look to getting this conversation to the CWCki. Do you want your username/avatar censored?}}

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:

NOTE:
The "Watchmen" were not an organization like the CWCProtectSquad or the Guard Dogs. Rather, like how the "Patriots" was the name given to a clique of trolls, "Watchmen" was the name given to a group of Chris enablers and white knights that had befriended one another, and run various Discord servers, by one of its members. The WCT, one of its members, was also considering dropping the name when he created the Knights of CWC
“ 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 Watchmen

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

Christian Weston Manhattan

What eventually became the Watchmen group had its roots in the CWC Rebellion Discord server, a trolling group. There, Owls met Meghan (aka MKRNightVee or MKR), and Talia (whom Owls described as "a person exploiting and egging MKR on to talk to Chris").[6]

MKR got into contact with Chris through a friend looking up his phone number.[7] Owls tried to coach MKR[7] and avoid problems, though he admits he didn't do well at it.[6]

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.[7]

“ 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[6]

According to Naught, 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]

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, Praetor, Fiona, and Bella 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.

Sockness and Praetor were untrusted guests in The Place, and Bella and Fiona were untrusted guests in Knights of CWC.

Behavior

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.

TRUE and HONEST Sonichu Fan Videos

Joseph Draft

Joseph Draft planned a documentary project titled Chris Chan VS. The Internet. He made arrangements and filmed footage with Chris before the documentary was cancelled. According to Naught, Draft destroyed the drive with the footage over stress from Megan changing her mind about being included and other YouTubers trying to monetize it,[14] and that Naught had "a 4 hour conversation" with Draft in which he got him "to face dox himself once he destroyed his drive with chris vs the internet."[15]

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.[16][17]

Praetor

Praetor is a group of enablers appearing in the fall of 2020 who produced and sold Sonichu-themed products with Chris's permission on Etsy and gave him a portion of the profits in exchange.

In February 2021, Chris wanted to borrow Praetor's taser in order to tase his Gate Crystal and Celestial Key quartz crystals, believing this would open an interdimensional portal and bring about the Dimensional Merge.[18] The Watchmen objected to this plan, to which Praetor member Caden claimed they would supervise Chris and that he would not be at risk.[19]

Talks between the two groups quickly disintegrated.[20] Watchmen members Naught and MKR took to spreading rumors about Praetor, each using out-of-context snippets from the discussions.

Naught made a Kiwi Farms post in which he posted a clip from the Taser Discussion voice chat.[21] In the clip, Watchmen member Val states, "Can you put, 'Can CWC- uh, like, tase himself on video for lulz'." Chris then responds, "I'll do it," to which Val bursts out laughing. Praetor member Caden then objects, saying, "Look, are you sure- There- they- like, we had a whole discussion about why it's a bad idea."

In Naught's Kiwi Farms post, he alleged that "Caden and cwc as Sonichu prime discuss the tazer and who will be tazed", omitting that Watchmen member Val had brought up the subject and that Caden had objected.

MKR posted on Twitter to spread a rumor that Praetor wanted to get Chris to use a stun gun on himself. She gave no proof of the allegation, instead posting an out-of-context screenshot[22] from Watchmen-Praetor talks.[23]

The Christuber GiBi believed the Watchmen's spin, creating a video in which he erroneously attributed the members in Naught's clip to Praetor - including the Watchmen Val - as well as reading from MKR's tweet.[24] Chris viewed the video and claimed the taser to have been his own idea, defending Praetor.[25]

Later, Chris criticized The Place members for their aggressive behavior, though Watchmen members Kyle and MKR immediately resumed hostile remarks towards Praetor, leaving Chris disappointed.[26]

Bella

The WCT hosted the Regarding Chris chats, where he and a few minor Watchmen had interviewed Bella in order to get an understanding of the Incest Call leaks.

Discord

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.

Discord servers

Below are a list of several of the Discord Servers that were created for the iniative of the Watchmen.

Arbitarch CWC Alliance

This was from before the Watchmen had fully come out to the public. The server was eventually shut down.

Regarding Chris

Main article: Regarding Chris chats

Regarding Chris was a group chat created by The WCT with some of the other Watchmen members from The Knights of CWC server on 30 July 2021. Its purpose was to question Bella about her role in the Incest Call leak, since she had been named by Null as a person involved. However, the move backfired as during the chat, Bella made claims that were later deemed disinformation by observers, such as framing Fiona for being the voice in the call[note 1] and alleging her fabricated BDSM texts to be legitimate and goading WCT to disseminating the material and naming Fiona as his source.

The full chat was later leaked.[28]
