Crystalgate is the name given to the period in Christory where the Watchmen were at odds with Praetor. During this period, many conspiracy theories and rumors were spread across the CWCSphere, but most especially by Naught and MKRNightVee. All of this had riled up Chris, leading to him confronting the Watchmen.
Chris's Announcement to the Watchmen
On 22 September 2020, Chris made a post on The Place Discord server, where he mentioned that he was meeting with some "new associates."[1] He mentions that they were going to talk about "the molding to mass produce the medallions, and possibly the figures, with optional Amiibo functions, in a little while." After being asked who these associates were, Chris refused to give their identities but gave details about their first interaction.
On the 25th, Chris mentioned them to the Watchmen again, revealing their name as Praetor LLC[2]. On 3 October, Chris mentioned to them that Praetor was helping him create a "lore bible."[3]. On the 15th, Praetor's Discord account, ran by Caden Peck, joined the The Place Discord server, and answered the Watchmen's questions.[4]
| Chat Excerpts
|
| We'll initially be only selling Medallions. These act as a trial run, testing market interest. Along the way, we will add more products. These will include but not be limited to comics, cards, and possibly amino figurines.
|
| It costs about 3 dollars per medallion. We sell them for 25 apiece, as to match our competitors. Etsy brand imposters are selling Medallions for 25-30. To uproot them, we must match or go below their prices.
If business is good, we'll increase sales by discounting them, selling them for 15-20
|
| In order to emulate Sonichu's original medallion, they are stamped in a mold we made and baked. Then, painted. We mail them from our own company pocket for a while, as it is cheaper then registration with a mailing company. When we get big enough, we can afford to register and get discounted shipping services
|
| We've not shipped any yet, so we only have estimates. It won't be more then a few dollars.
The medallions are not large not heavy.
|
| We signed a confidentiality agreement with Sonichu, as we are a company. If Sonichu gives her consent, I can disclose profit splits and profit estimates.
|
| We've worked with creative types for about 3 years now. You may recognize a few of my more eccentric clients!
Have any of you ever heard of Molossia?
|
After being asked if they sold merch for Molossia:
| We don't only do merch. We helped him find someone to write a dissertation on the micronation's sovereignty.
He's using that to try and officiate his territory as a nation.
More power to him, I suppose.
What do y'all do? I'm excited to be working with this team.
|
| I used to have a website, but due to domain costs I took it down. When it comes to clients, I find that it's easier to find eccentric people then to have them find you. If you're interested in partnership or a meeting, I've been transitioning us to social media. We have a new twitter and an Instagram.
Our email is llcpraetor@gmail.com.
|
| @praetor_llc and the Twitter is @praetor
With social media, I can find my own clientele. Considering that I'm here, seems like things are working out!
|
On another brand named 'Praetor LLC':
| Oh no, we know about Praetor LLC. They're actually not trademarked, we've talked to them. Their site is a homedone project. The only internationally trademarked Praetor brand is Praetor Technologies.
