| “ | You brought so much fucking joy to this world and you continue to do so. That's why... one of the reasons why... you know, we... you need to remain safe. | ” |
| A Watchman to Chris.[1] | ||
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. They 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 chatted with them on Google Hangouts. They were behind the Discord leaks in August 2020.
Their approach is 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.
Known members
Naught
Naught is the de facto leader of the Watchmen, also known as anameisaname. Naught—a clear parody of Joshua Moon's handle, Null—is a Kiwi Farms user who monitors potential weens or enablers.
MKRNightVee
| “ | I am a CPU, that means I am directly on the same level of godhood as Christine. | ” |
| Meghan, replying to Sarah and Steve questioning if she really follows Chris's beliefs.[2] | ||
Meghan Kathleen Ringo (born 24 April 1992), also known under the aliases MKRNightVee and thepixietailartist) appeared in early 2019, presenting herself to Chris as being the goddess of the Nintendo Switch and offering him validation on his fantasies of having magic powers.[3] She has stated that her goal isn't to feed into Chris's delusions so much as to offer advice and help.[4]
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.[5]
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. She, as well as Aqua, largely mitigated Sockness's influence over Chris, though Chris was still willing to listen to Sockness.
AquaDiamond8
| “ | Christine...Please stop this, Mewtwo is not real, the merge is not happening, you need serious help. If you need help there are people to help you with these delusions. This is incredibly unhealthy for you. | ” |
| AquaDiamond8, March 2019[6] | ||
| “ | Still i dont want [Jacob Sockness] attacking my people when the merge happens, Christine has said there will be no more war or need for violence in the merge, my Sapphire has forseen this | ” |
| AquaDiamond8 changes her tune, November 2019[7] | ||
AquaDiamond8 is a Twitter user who has bounced from being a ween[8], to a white knight, to an enabler. In November 2019, after having tried to discourage Chris's delusions months before, Aqua abruptly switched tactics and instead embraced Chris's delusional beliefs. She changed her Twitter handle to "CPU Goddess Aqua of the Mac Book Pro", echoing a similar move as fellow enabler MKRNightVee. Like MKR, Aqua had frequent spats with Sockness. Later, Aqua began drawing fanart of her OC interacting with Magi-Chan[9]. She then posted a Pokémon drawing, claiming it to be an alt-dimension Magi-Chan[10]:
|
Val Valentino, The Masked Magician. A celestial powerful magician Dex Enter: "This Magi-Chan is so powerful he has to mentally project a simplified form that the human mind can comprehend. Looking at his true form would drive you mad." Dex #: unknown |
Chris was enticed by this news:
| Seriously? You disovered an alt-dimension Magi-Chan Sonichu? This is a very interesting find. I'll look more into this one for myself.
Also, for your information, regardless of which variant, Dimension or Timeline of origin, Special, Regular, or Mega Evolved, the Pokedex Number for Sonichu and Rosechu will always be at #982 and #979, respectively. |
Aqua answered:
| Oh i wasnt aware ill make sure to write that down. But he more discovered me in a way. I was meaning to chat with your hubby when i realized i wasnt in our normal meeting spot, then he appeared through a portal. |
As of early September 2020, Aqua is confirmed to no longer be involved with the Watchmen's activities.
Lainchu
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, 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, Serial Experiments Lain, in which a teenage girl finds herself engaging with a virtual world network, reminiscent of the internet.
The WCT
The WCT, also known as WildCat and Neko Onyx, is a Watchmen member who has archived calls involving Chris.
Kyle
The inspiration for Chris's Kylechu OC, Kyle appeared in the Google Hangout chats.
Origins
According to Naught, some members of the Watchmen have been operating since 2018, as the spiritual successor to the Guard Dogs – the latter having disbanded around the same time frame. The following is a conversation between a Christorian and Naught via Discord; the users are color-coded red and white, respectively.
| I had a question in my head, if its fine for me to ask, could you tell me how exactly you guys met CWC and when you formed the group |
Naught quotes this section from the Guard Dogs CWCki article:
| Following the incidents at TooManyGames, in which Chris was thrown out of the con for being too handsy with other attendees, Null and several other members of the Guard Dogs began investigating Justin Silverman's account of the situation, intending to find out if Justin had overreacted towards Chris's behaviour. Ultimately, this investigation petered out with no real progress having been made, save for the fact that the Guard Dogs elected people to supervise Chris at any conventions he visited from then on. |
| Oh, so you guys were picked by Null |
| Yeah that's why Marvin is there since the captain couldn't stick around but the plan is still the same |
Editor note: MKRNightVee and Aqua were not picked by Null, as his involvement ended by the time they joined the Watchmen. MKRNightVee got into contact with Chris through a friend looking up his phone number for her[11] and Aqua joined during the Sockness saga.
| Ah, so the captain was in there too but left after a while |
| Yeah mkr helped get the cwc protect squad out of the way with the fan art for cwc |
| Discord conversation on the Watchmen origins |
|---|
Q&A
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.
The first four questions appear to be referring to the Arbitarch CWC Alliance server.
| Who started it and why? |
| Owls the guy who set-up mkr and Joseph Draft got aqua and mkr to draw some art to lure cwc in. |
| How did Chris join there? |
| I was told it was going to be for Chris's patrons. |
| Why was it killed? |
| 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. |
| Who killed it? |
| I killed it, Joseph and Smokey Chris TheSperge were using the server to gather content, they convinced Joseph I was Johan.
After a 4 hour conversation I got Joseph draft to face dox himself once he destroyed his drive with chris vs the internet. |
The last two appear to refer to the Watchmen as a group.
| Why did Aqua leave? |
| Stress and people @ her on Twitter
Her and mkr are still frens |
| Will this group be around forever? |
| As long as Chris is in need or willing yes[12] |
