Chris and negotiation

When it comes to dealing with Chris, trolls often experience a unique form of "Negotiation". Due to a severe sense of entitlement, a lifetime of coddling and other factors that are beyond his control, Christian Weston Chandler is horrible when it comes to comprising, or even realizing what sort of barging position he's in. Often, trolls blackmailing Chris will find him making demands, as if he had leverage. Conversely, some have experienced the oddity of having Chris run away from a situation where he was purposely given the upper hand. When it comes to dealing with Chris directly, one can only expect that Chris will always take the path of least resistance, even if it doesn't benefit him.

Concept of Compromise

Negotiation is based on compromise. Both parties must work together in order to find the best possible solution to solve both of their problems in a satisfactory manner. Chris doesn't understand this. Being completely ego-centric, Chris believes that, in any exchange, both parties share the same viewpoint: his. Chris can't stand any form of confrontation, and quickly tires if his demands aren't met exactly has he has made them.

On numerous occasions, Chris has tried to negotiate by either listing a bunch of ridiculous demands or outright refusing to give anything up or do anything at all for that matter. After he makes his case, his mind is "closed on the matter" and he is unwilling to budge. When further pressed, he often shuts down completely, and walks away from the table, into the waiting arms of his hugbox.

Examples of Negotiation

During the Nintendo saga, Shigeru Miyamoto stated that Chris must meet him at Nintendo's American headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Chris handled this by making a video where he pretended to come back from Redmond, when he actually never left the house. Chris demanded that the CEO of an international company come to HIS house and meet with him. When Chris was pressed as to why the meeting had to be at his house, Chris said that he had no money. When he was asked why he had no money, he said he had no job. When he was asked why he didn't have a job, Chris made various excuses and cited his very brief employment at [[Wendy's]. This sort of "pass the buck" attitude is very common when dealing with Chris. Nothing negative can ever be his fault.

Whenever Chris wants to meet one of his "sweethearts" in real life, he usually wants them to come to him, no matter how difficult such a trip would be. He wanted PandaHalo to come to him despite her living in Australia. He wanted Julie to come to him even though she was supposedly a poor immigrant who couldn't afford a car or bus fare. He wanted Kacey to come to him even though she lived in the DC area, which is an hour or so from Ruckersville.

One of the most recent sweethearts, Jackie, was willing to have a relationship with Chris as long as he tried to become a better person. Instead of trying to put in a minimal amount of effort and try to better himself, he decided to end things.

Often, trolls will gain access to Chris' PSN, and make various demands. The most common of these demands is that he sell or throw out some of his beloved toys or games. Despite his claims that he plays with everything in his room, a quick glance at his PSN account shows otherwise. Most of his PSN activity is divided between LittleBigPlanet, God of War 3 and ModNation Racers, which leaves most of his vast collection of games untouched. Even though he doesn't use the majority of the toys and games he owns, yet he refuses to sell them. This refusal is usually followed up by him saying that he doesn't have the money to do something that would improve his life.

When he was given his own wiki for free, he demanded complete executive control from day one. In Chris' mind this meant that every demand he made would be fulfilled by the staff, and that anything done without his permission would be removed immediately. He insisted on a gaudy background, and threatened to stop working whenever the webmaster displeased him. Later, when Jack Thaddeus graciously paid for the CWCipedia's webspace with ads featuring homoerotic images, Chris went on a tirade. Chris immediately demanded that they be taken down, but refused to even consider paying for his own website. When removal failed, he said that he wanted them to be smaller, as if he had some say in how large advertisements were. Chris had no concept of how advertising worked, but merely assumed that he had the final say in everything.

Later, during the "popularity contest" between Sonichu and Asperchu,he tried to make amends with Alec Benson Leary. However, instead of making reparations, Chris demanded that Alec tell his fans to go back to Sonichu. Chris, who was in no position to make requests, attached several "clauses" to his applogies. In fact, Chris' list of demands was larger than the apology they were bundled with. All of this came after Chris drew a comic where he broke into Alec's house, stole a dating game of his Xbox 360 and freed a group of Rosechus that he implied were the victims of sexual abuse.

Chris's Tactics

When Chris is faced a task requiring any effort on his part, or involves something that does not benefit him, he completely ignores it. Chris automatically disregards anything that will not befit him immediately, or almost immediately. The hardest part of negotiating with Chris, is that, if you make a demand that he does not agree to, he shuts down. Like a spoiled infant, Chris will not even deal with something that isn't self-serving and easy.

On the other hand, when you have something Chris wants, Chris will not give up until he has acquired it, under his own terms. When the road to a reward has a sign that bluntly says Chris is not eligible, he will attempt to get the reward anyway, or claim that the rules are discriminatory and unfair. Chris will pursue his goal thoughtlessly and simplemindedly, often ignoring even the idea that he might not get what he wants.

When Chris has to meet a requirement during a negotiation (ESPECIALLY deadlines), he will explain that he is "working on it". To Chris, saying this is an acceptable substitute for actual work, whether or not he is indeed "working on it". If, in his own good time, Chris feels inclined to fulfill the deal, he'll submit whenever he wants to, regardless of the original agreement, well after the deadline. If the agreement was that he would receive something for the "work" done, he demand it unceasingly, despite not holding up his end of the deal in any way, shape, or form.

Even if Chris somehow agrees to a set of terms, he will try to get around them. If he agrees to give something up for someone, he will go behind that person's back in order to get it back so that he could have both. If he agrees to draw a comic, he will most likely do something easier, like make a video or write a blog entry, figuring that that counts as work. If he agrees to willingly slander himself(like calling himself gay,for instance), he'll either mumble it so that it's incomprehensible, or he'll hide his face.
