Talk:Post-jail sightings (2023)

Walmart

To prevent from having to keep two pages synced in edits, we should decide whether the Mal-Wart article or this one will be the main one to hold the sighting info on the Midlothian Walmart. Whichever article doesn't can just be given a small summary with a "main article" direct. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 22:28, 2 May 2023 (EDT)

i think we should put all sightings of chris while chris is offline in the chase article. BootlegsATrolley (talk) 10:05, 3 May 2023 (EDT)

Common Name

I'm seeing a lot more references online to Chris' status as a cryptid, with a focus on "sightings" of him. I think something like "Cryptid Era" would be more appropriate and recognizable. I think the current setup of the page, for one, has too many Doctor Who references and "The Chase" gives the impression that people are or should be actively seeking Chris out. Even with the disclaimer, it's not the way we should be framing this, to my mind. BieresDeLaMeuse (talk) 12:55, 4 May 2023 (EDT)

I think "bigfoot" works a bit better, owing to the one picture of him, and the fact that it's a bit more specific. Plus, Chris kind of resembles a large bulbous ape-human. Also, I think it's too early to name a new Christorical era, and we should keep this confined to a saga. Jimmy747 (talk) 13:33, 4 May 2023 (EDT)

post jail i think would be a better name for the new christorical era. when it comes to the new saga, i really think the chase is a good name. its more iconic. theres only two doctor who references on this page, (the julay dalek and the saga template) and i dont think we are "framing" anything. the closest thing would be the image of the peen ween starting his "quest", which i tried to present in a negative light.

Maybe we could rename this page to something straightforward like Post-jail sightings. It's not punchy like The Chase, Cryptid, or Bigfoot, but it's descriptive enough, and would avoid the awkward disclaimer saying not to actually chase Chris. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 22:49, 4 May 2023 (EDT)

we would still have to put a disclaimer about not looking for chris even if it was named post-jail sightings i think BootlegsATrolley (talk) 23:39, 4 May 2023 (EDT)

Yeah, good idea. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 12:14, 5 May 2023 (EDT)

What about the CWCfoot Saga? I do think we should change the name to something that is consistent with the rest of the CWCki's nomenclature. Probation Saga? Bail Saga? I can't think of the word that's in between bail and trial. Something something Saga. Lordisofjhoalt (talk) 23:46, 4 May 2023 (EDT)

Yeah, I think it's a bit unclear right now what's going on. If there's confirmation he's at a group home, could just be called Group Home saga. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 12:14, 5 May 2023 (EDT)

I've seen the term "Gangstalking" being thrown around a lot. I would like "Gangstalking saga" or just "Gangstalking". Mangolover887 (talk) 02:19, 5 May 2023 (EDT)

Would still need post-jail added for clarity. He's been steadily stalked through the years before the incest saga. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 12:14, 5 May 2023 (EDT)

So, yeah, the name "The Chase" is rather controversial and the Doctor Who references are getting a bit much. So I really think it'd be best to just do a straightforward rename to post-jail sightings. Also, the Saga/Era stuff can be worked out later, it's still very early and things are still developing. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 03:51, 6 May 2023 (EDT)

True. This chase is the beginning, not the end. Lordisofjhoalt (talk) 17:45, 6 May 2023 (EDT)

Towne center sighting and reaction in the photo

Chris's reaction in the photo looks like he's nervous or a bit scared, which is a normal reaction to having your photo taken in public by a stranger. Do you think his time in the hostile environment of jail has introduced a bit of social anxiety? From personal experience I'm also autistic and used to be much like Chris, before experiencing a time of prolonged stress (not jail but I won't get specific) that made me extremely scared of strangers and new people. Perhaps Chris went through a similar experience? Should this possibility be included in the article? SpecialEdKid (talk) 23:44, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Could be Chris was just caught off-guard in this case. Might need more of a pattern to develop before writing it in. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 22:49, 4 May 2023 (EDT)

i agree with hurtful BootlegsATrolley (talk) 23:37, 4 May 2023 (EDT)

Alrighty then, I guess we'll wait and see. SpecialEdKid (talk) 10:40, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Weens

I'm not sure we should be covering weening attempts like telling management about Chris in an attempt to get him banned, if he didn't actually get banned. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 23:18, 7 May 2023 (EDT)

I agree. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter unless it actually goes through. The amount of places that get calls about Chris only to hang up immediately is probably in the thousands, so we defiantly shouldn't list every attempt. SpecialEdKid (talk) 11:18, 9 May 2023 (UCT)

Not Chris?

I really don't think Chris is the one talking in the Food Lion video for a few reasons. 1. It sounds nothing like him, granted it's been a while since we've heard him, but still. 2. You can see the arm of at least one other person in the video, and it's a grocery store it's not unreasonable for there to be multiple groups talking. 3. The "Lady" who is transcribed as a separate speaker sounds exactly like the first one. 4. If you listen really closely near the end of the clip it sounds like you can vaguely (very fucking quietly) hear Chris say "there, and then", it also matches his mouth movements. I would delete it myself but I'm autistically nervous that I'm missing something that proves that it is Chris speaking, if so sorry. ACuteGirlMyAge (talk) 05:38, 5 September 2023 (EDT)

To be honest, I don't think there should be a transcript at all. It's pretty much impossible to come to a common consensus on what's being said in the clip, and it's not like there's something super important being said. I'd say we should just leave it up to whoever's viewing the page to interpret what's going on in the clip Cereally (talk) 18:30, 5 September 2023 (EDT)

Removal reverted. The dialogue matches up closely with Chris's mouth movements if you zoom in, and the transcript was co-authored, vetted, and approved by several CWCki editors in the Discord. Several other videos are transcribed despite being hard to hear or being "unimportant". Cottonmather (talk) 02:52, 7 September 2023 (EDT)
