Amnyfest Ring
| “ | my POWERS NEVER truly came from the Medal; they came from my High School Ring the WHOLE time. I wore the ring the VERY FIRST TIME I thought of Sonichu and from then on as well, so there is the FACT. | ” |

| “ | I want everybody to know that when I am wearing my ring, I am being most honest and upfront, just like I did when I wore my medallion. | ” |

The Amnyfest Ring, a mispronunciation of "amethyst ring" (as amethyst is Chris's birthstone[3]), also known as the high school ring[4][5], is Chris's fallback source of his powers to counter the victory cries of trolls after his Sonichu medallion was destroyed by Blanca on 20 October 2008. Chris's initials are engraved on the inside of the ring.[6]
Trolls are advised not to attempt stealing the US$200 gold ring purchased at Wal-Mart[citation needed] as that would be theft, which is a felony. Also, it is suspected that, like the One Ring, it corrupts the possessor and can only be destroyed in the caldera of a volcano. Furthermore, even if someone did steal it, he might just say that the power was in his anal beads all along.
After the events of 04 March 2009, Chris has indicated that since the high school ring is the source of all his powers, wearing his ring is sufficient enough to make a video TRUE and HONEST. However, as he made this statement without wearing the medallion, this statement cannot be true. Despite this simple logical error on Chris's part, he explicitly shows his high school ring to confirm that it is an "official" video. Since then, (almost) every video has started with Chris briefly showing that he is wearing the Ring, to indicate that it is a TRUE and HONEST video.
Like Chris's DNA, the ring is indisputable proof of his identity, as no other person could order an amethyst high school ring in the same size with the same engravings. He has explained this in his CWCipedia Mailbag.[7]
The enormous emotional significance that he attaches to it is further evidence that Chris cannot move on from high school.
On 10 January 2010, Chris, for some reason, started wearing the ring around his medallion while calling out Alec Benson Leary.[8]
Along with the Sonichu medallion, the Amnyfest Ring went on hiatus for much of the spring and summer of 2010. (It was theorized that its destruction by a heroic Icelandic troll led to the March/April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption.) However, Chris's sudden reversion to classic form in a released on 6 September 2010 featured, among other familiar tics, an emphatic display of the ring.[9]
