Talk:Saga

Add the sagas that we have from the List of Videos page and describe the overarching storylines in each. --Champthom 14:09, 19 October 2009 (CEST)

• The current saga should be called the "Revalation" saga. --14recinez 15:30, 14 September 2013 (EST)
• i think a visual representation of the sagas would greatly improve the article. a vertical, multi-part image would work quite well, i think, but all ideas are welcome. thoughts? --cogsdev/vedsgoc 17:09, 19 October 2009 (CEST)

• A visual representation would be awesome, I'm just not an artsy kind of guy to do that :3. --Champthom 17:53, 19 October 2009 (CEST)

• Oh, maybe Cogs was thinking like a timeline with shadded parts to indicate sagas and show the overlaps. Very good idea, even I could do that. --Champthom 16:17, 20 October 2009 (CEST)

• I'll start compiling images for each section. I'll try my best anyway. --Fuckingstupid 22:49, 23 October 2009 (CEST)

Changes

So basically what I tried to do so far is sum up every saga in 3 images. Is this at all helpful? I can upload colour versions instead if we prefer, but I thought this looked kind of good. I can also put all of them together to make a MEGASAGA sort of image that we can add to as more sagas become apparent. What do we want? Or delete them if you think they are gay. If they are not gay, then I will finish the rest tomorrow. ALSO: I can make a vertically oriented timeline (like from a history book) showing how they progress and overlap. Or horizontally, whatever we want really. Just tell me. For now, I need to sleep. --Fuckingstupid 01:25, 24 October 2009 (CEST)

• I actually really like these. Anaconda 03:38, 24 October 2009 (CEST)

• I like them. Though I think that like, the subject of the saga should be in the center. Like, the Miyamoto saga, Reggie is in the middle when it really should be Miyamoto. If I may recommend one for Liquid, if there was a way to make it look like they're staring down each other, that'd be cool. Otherwise, nice work, I like the general idea. --Champthom 03:47, 24 October 2009 (CEST)

• Your wish is my command. It is done. I think I got what you wanted for the Liquid saga too... Now what exactly? I can get started on a timeline. I guess I will work on making each subsection more introductory in the text too... --Fuckingstupid 20:49, 24 October 2009 (CEST)
• So I have added some detail to give a bit more advanced insight on the sagas for this page. I hope it is helpful. Are there any other sagas that should be here? I assume not. What do we need to add to make this... complete... --Fuckingstupid 01:23, 25 October 2009 (CEST)

Timeline

So the timeline you see running here is one I made for this article. Problem, When I run it down the right side of the article it looks funny. At least I think it does. Try it. Should we put it there... or what? I will just work on the actual text of this article until we decide what to do about the imagery. --Fuckingstupid 22:33, 24 October 2009 (CEST)

• I haven't heard any opinions on this and they claimed to like it in IRC so I have it running down the right. Revert it if you like. --Fuckingstupid 22:41, 25 October 2009 (CET)

• I like it a lot too. Having it up and down isn't orthodox but it's well suited for the media. Very nice job. --Champthom 19:55, 30 October 2009 (CET)

• I think it looks great, but I think the information is a bit wrong... the Megan Saga went on through the beginning of 2008 and into the ED and Adam Stackhouse affairs. Hell, there wouldn't be a Stackhouse Saga without Megan. Otherwise, it looks good.

Gregg Mays saga

Not sure if we should consider it part of Clyde Cash saga but we should consider a Gregg Mays saga to include all this Gregg Mays stuff. --Champthom 19:55, 30 October 2009 (CET)

Jack Thaddeus Saga, anyone?

Or does anyone think it's too early? --CWCAttack 03:42, 2 January 2010 (CET)

• I was about to suggest the same thing. With the recent videos aimed at him, the three phone calls and the CWCipedia ad shenanigans, not to mention previous antics, there seems to be enough material to warrant a new saga. --Lime 05:17, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Don't forget about Asperchu in the future. Seeing how dedicated Alec is with it so far (and Jack just started advertising his wiki in CWCipedia), a Saga for that is inevitable! --CWCAttack 05:32, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
    • And I think it has begun! --Blazer 02:02, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
      • Asperchu Asperchu Saga. You like? --Jewlay 02:05, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
        • Very nice! Now how about Jack, anyone? --CWCAttack 02:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
        • Awesome job on the icon! --Lime 02:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually...

Looking at recent edits, someone was adding a "Homosexual ad saga" to this page but it was reverted. While not a proper saga, I'd say it's a sort of mini saga and it's part of the Chris narrative, as it leads into Asperchu saga. Thoughts? --Champthom 21:49, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure I'd call the homosexual ads a saga by itself, but part of a CWCipedia saga? I'm certainly not part of the inner circle, but I imagine more hi-jinks involving the CWCipedia are in store. Chris fangs 21:54, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

• I reverted it. It wasn't a proper saga, no. Even if it could be considered one, the information wasn't presented well enough. I first reverted the changes made to the timeline PNG[1], which also wasn't up to par. There could be a lead-in to the Asperchu Saga, sure, but I would vote no on calling it a saga. --Jewlay 22:02, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
• I re-reverted because you're a huge faggot have a nice day Nitrocore

• Actually, I changed my mind. If someone could make a better, more convincing presentation of it, go ahead. --Jewlay 22:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

• I agree that the presentation on the timeline sucks, and the name "Homosexual ad saga" does as well. I think Chris fangs is onto something about it being called "CWCipedia saga" since in a way, the Mailbag is a way of trolling Chris and CWCipedia in general sorta inadvertently trolls Chris. Thoughts? --Champthom 22:20, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

• Well, it seems I've angered someone. Not my intentions, to be sure. Anyway, CWCipedia Saga has a nice ring to it and it's relevant, since the Mailbag is certainly a repository of ongoing trolling. --Jewlay 22:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
• Champthom, I'll leave it to you to revert the timeline image/Saga page or not. I don't wish to get into a revert war over Chris Chan. --Jewlay 22:34, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

• I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that you're right but so is Nitrocore. The concept of a saga invoking CWCipedia, perhaps call it CWCipedia saga, is good or maybe Jack Thaddeus saga (though I'm aiming at the former) but you are correct in that the write up and the name at the time did kinda suck, and we still need to work on the timeline. For starters, we need to get in touch with the original creator of the timeline or maybe start from scratch. --Champthom 22:58, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

• Ha i win sucker, I actually like "Cwc saga" as well i was just adding stuff(unlike you) if you can combine it and possibly make it better with external links then I'm not bothered Nitrocore

• I went with the CWCipedia idea. It's a rough draft, but you get the idea. Nitro, if there is a next time, try not to act like a child. Also, sign your discussion edits with the timestamp. --Jewlay 00:37, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

The CWCki Saga, anyone?

I was going to start this, but decided otherwise unless objects to it, but what we got here is the start of a third saga - CWCki Saga. Chris knows about the CWCki and now he wants to take control of it. You think we should start gathering information on this?--Blazer 05:19, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

• Damn. It's barely 24 hrs in and we are already talking about a saga! I think it is a tad too early to talk about a saga. Outside of "The WallFlower Incident", we got mostly nothing. Let's wait a little to see where it will goes. Griffintown 05:30, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

• I agree. Luckily, we'll probably find out two days from now, when his ultimatum gets ignored to death. If nothing comes of it, then nothing comes of it. If he spazzes out and does something really stupid, like threatening legal action or starting an epic edit war, then yeah. -- Revolver Octopus 05:44, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Vanessa Saga

My old pet project, probably not long or significant enough, but some pretty good videos and logs came from that --Robotnik 07:52, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

• Vanessa saga is one of the unsung tales of the overarching CWC saga and it's sorry that it isn't currently reflected here. However, perhaps now in retrospect it seems more to be part of Ivy saga, though Vanessa saga had dynamic elements and whatnot. --Champthom 11:07, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

more saga sum up images

we need a saga image for asperchu (not tito yet) and the cwikipedia saga--Wintermute 02:19, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Heres a quick one i made for the game place, just to throw out the idea, can't use it since it doesn't match the others

Tito saga

In December 2009, Chris released a page from Sonichu 10, which revealed a girl named Lovely Weather. Many trolls were confused as to why Chris would create a fictional love interest when previous issues used real life girls. The confusion continued when Chris revealed he had a gal-pal during some of his Mailbags.

Is it just me or does this seem to suggest that "Lovely Weather" is connected to The Wallflower? If so, this text is incorrect as Chris didn't meet Wallflower until January at the latest. Srsly guys. --Champthom 07:50, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

• Okay, I'll admit - I wrote that bit when it seemed like there was a connection between Weather and Wallflower. I'll alter it so it won't seem that way.--Blazer 13:01, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

IRL Saga?

It might be too early for this, but if he keeps up these public creeper antics, methinks an "IRL Saga" would be appropriate. --AdderCress 16:12, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

• I always thought it would be better to call everything that's happened since he "left" the Internet the "CWC Exile Saga". But, still, IRL Saga's just as good.--Blazer 16:24, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
  • How about 'Reality Saga'? --Edward 16:48, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
    • If we're going to do that, we might as well include the Love Quest as a saga, since this sounds pretty much like a repeat of those events. Bill Lumburg 17:34, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
      • I understand the reasoning behind that, though a good chunk of the Love Quest happened online within specific sagas. Personally, the only issue I would see with such a saga (CWC Exile is a great title) is that it overlaps with The GAMe PLACe and the last bit of Surfshack Tito.--AdderCress 01:14, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
        • I think, in a technical level, we're between sagas. We just simply have to wait and see what damn fool thing he does next. --OFSheep 02:06, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Flipnote Hatena saga

Does it count as one yet? He's slowly cracking at the seams, and it could get worse. --Espanolic 20:39, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

• It looks like it might form a saga as he goes along and breaks more Flipnote Waptena rules, so it's plausible. --Eniggy 21:31, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Of course he's banned from uploading anything now. I think it was a bit short to count as a saga. A bit uneventful too, though that's just my thoughts on it. If everyone else thinks it could be considered it's own saga... Go for it.--Yoyoddd 10:07, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
    • I look at this a bit like the Tito saga; very little actually was done to Chris, but it was his response to what happened that made it a saga. We have to wait and see how he reacts to the ban to see whether it's worthy or not. That's just my two cents though. Freecell 10:49, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
      • Maybe we should put "interim activities" as a separate category; nothing that fits the criteria for saga but still somewhat noteworthy. Chris being "off the internet" and on flipnote for a month could merit that. That way we could still fill out the periods between major sagas. Bill Lumburg 14:32, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
        • Even if it doesn't count as a full-fledged "Saga" it was a pretty crazy two weeks. I'm not sure if he'll return to youtube as a result of his banning, but I'm sure he'll cap off the whole thing with an enraged complaint somewhere.--Beat 15:41, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

PS3 Saga?

Before somebody already points it out, I know that the few destruction videos he put up doesn't count as a saga. I'm wondering if we should make a saga for the activities that lead to it's destruction. There's a lot of juicy info I'd like to catalog, but I don't know if it's officially over yet or not (And i also don't want to disrupt any trolling plans that may still be in motion). --SargentPickles 15:04, 17 September 2010 (PDT)

Missing Sagas

Why aren't the sagas caused by Joshua Martinez included on the saga list?

• 1) please sign your posts (it's four ~ in a row) 2) the stuff from Joshua Martinez is really part of Ivy saga. --Champthom 05:45, 22 June 2011 (PDT)

On Sagas

This isn't picking on anything that's going on here, but I was thinking and I think the term "saga" gets abused - not so much on here, mind you, but elsewhere but I think it sometimes spills over to the CWCki.

What is a saga? Like the article says, it's an overarching story in the life and times of Chris. For instance, let's take Miyamoto saga, which, also as the article says, what really started the whole "saga" thing. You have Chris and "Miyamoto" talking to each other over several weeks, and there's conflict between the two, then there's Reggie who gets involved, and then there's all the videos inbetween. If you watch a video from the saga without the context the saga arch provides, you're missing out on a lot. They're all intertwined, the content that is, and that's what the saga theme is all about, taking stuff that happens to Chris and presenting it in a way that provides narrative and understanding.

So what does this mean? You calling Chris is not "You calling Chris saga." Chris dressing up as a woman is not "Tomgirl saga." Seeing Chris at the mall is not "Chris at the mall saga." Chris does stuff, it doesn't need to fit in part of a narrative. It's sorta a chapter in the overarching saga that is Chris's life, but not a saga in itself. Secondly, I don't think sagas are really made. I think people expect to troll Chris and want some place on this page, wanting their own "Gigantic Attention Whore saga." Pretty much every saga wasn't intended to be a saga, it's not like they planned this all out, it's just going with the flow and it happens to have narrative to it.

I had more but I forgot what else I was going to say. But hopefully this will make sense and serve as a guide to what is a saga and what isn't, so much as how it should be included on the page.--Champthom 05:45, 22 June 2011 (PDT)

• Actually, while we're talking about sagas, I'd like to ask for a bit of clarification on how saga related articles are named. Recent sagas for instance are just documented in the article on the appropriate person. The article on the Ivy Saga is called Ivy and the article on the Liquid Saga is called Liquid Chris. But then there are articles which are literally called Miyamoto Saga or Vanessa Saga, which are full of emails just dumped there incomprehensibly. And this is in spite of there actually being articles for Shigeru Miyamoto and Vanessa Hudgens. Don't get me wrong, I realize the need to keep the crap ton of emails separate from the main articles, but the naming convention is just odd. I'm not quite sure, but I'm willing to bet it's Clyde's fault. What is the official policy on naming saga articles? Should they all be named as "X" or as "X Saga"? And while we're on it, some sagas have a weird little template documenting all things related to them. Two I can name are Template:BlancaSaga and Template:MeganSaga. I don't think they're bad. They could use a little cleanup, but I do have a problem with the fact that some sagas have them and others don't. They could serve as a great way to sum up everything and point users in the direction of content relevant to each saga, but as it is right now, there's no consistency in which sagas have them. What should we do? --Old meme 06:29, 22 June 2011 (PDT)

• Good points. In regards to the e-mails, I guess people consider the bulk of the saga the e-mails or IM chats behind them, but perhaps we could rename them to be "Miyamoto Saga e-mails" or "Vanessa Saga chats"? It's probably Clyde's fault, at least for the Miyamoto e-mails. As for the templates, they probably could use cleaning up and the reason why some do and some don't is because people haven't gotten around to doing them for other templates (which can be something you can work on, if you so please). Definitely, make templates for each saga, that'd be a great way to present information. --Champthom 04:46, 23 June 2011 (PDT)

• Well if you think that's something for me to work on then I suppose I could have a go at it. It'd make a change from all the sonichu shit that I've been doing recently. --Old meme 05:41, 24 June 2011 (PDT)

The Lawsuit Saga?

Should we separate most recent and ongoing events from Tomgirl Saga? Since Chandlers' law troubles, not Chris crossdressing interest, are main theme here. Hasharin 17:22, 5 November 2011 (PDT)

• Technically, the lawsuits would be part of the Game Place saga, right? Giantgroundsloth 21:26, 5 November 2011 (PDT)

Individual Saga pages

I didn't know where to put this suggestion, so I'm putting it here. I was thinking we can give each Saga its own page. The pages would go into more detail about the saga, a summary of the events, and a listing of videos, emails, etc. in order by date. This serves to make a description about all events in the Saga from beginning to end, as there is none on the CWCki. The closest there is to it is the timeline with all of the years and months, but often times there are events irrelevant to the Saga and events in other Sagas happening. --American Christory X 16:47, 2 January 2012 (PST)

• EDIT: I noticed there are articles called "Vanessa Saga" and more, but those aren't the type of formats I'm talking about. Those pages are only content dumps, but what I'm talking about is much more organized.
• I made a Tomgirl Saga page. If there's a problem with it, or if the page is a bad idea, speak now or I'll write pages for the other sagas. --American Christory X 09:56, 3 January 2012 (PST)
• I still don't think that the whole Tomgirl thing is actually a saga, but I'll let other people debate that as that's mostly my opinion. The thing is, the articles about respective sagas tend to be in the page about the people involved. Like, most of the stuff with the Ivy saga is in the Ivy page, and the stuff about Liquid is on the Liquid Chris page. I see what you want to do and it does make sense but I think it might be redundant unless we totally rework these biographical articles so we're not saying the same stuff on two different pages.--Champthom 00:38, 4 January 2012 (PST)
  • I think that the question of whether or not every Saga deserves its own individual page should be decided on a case by case basis rather then collectively. I think that starting the article on the Tomgirl Saga was a good idea, but having articles such "Jackie Saga", "Blanca Saga" or "Julie Saga" will be redundant in my opinion. - NegaCWC 06:44, 4 January 2012 (PST)
    • i agree, this page handles the simplified explanations and servers as a nice jumping off point. There is plenty blue here to get you started and if you need details about the saga then read the details linked in blue :)
• I was thinking this myself. Not every saga needs a seperate page but sagas which involved a lot of interaction in the form of Youtube videos between two parties would benefit from a seperate entry. I'm especially thinking of the Liquid Chris/CWCivil war ordeal. One page or a group of pages with the video interaction between the two in chronological order would be very useful. Maybe the Asperchu saga also? I was taking a break from Chris during that period and am still not too clear on the chronology of events. Samboy 09:06, 15 July 2012 (PDT)

Second Exile saga?

Chris hasn't done anything of note lately. His therapist may have banned him from the internet, and is most likely doing his service or playing video games. This may go on for a while, and might be considered a saga.--Germanicus 14:13, 8 October 2012 (PDT)

Regarding the Catherine Saga

I'll put the section back once the Catherine drama goes further. Like Champthom said before that sagas are "taking stuff that happens to Chris and presenting it in a way that provides narrative and understanding.", I say wait and see until we can confirm it. Right now, it's still early to claim a new saga. Not to mention sagas are abused to death. Alan Pardew (talk) 14:33, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

• I'll just share some comments I made in the chat on the CWCki Forums on the matter. Like I've said, the saga really should just be a tool to provide a narrative to what happens with Chris in specific periods. We probably have what constitutes a saga now - Chris is active on Facebook, he apparently has a girlfriend, he's trying to make money off eBay and Kickstarter, he's claiming to be fully transgendered. I'm inclined to call this "Facebook saga" as I feel the characterization of this saga is Chris's interactions with people on Facebook. It's unusual as we mostly focus on people but I think in this case, it might make sense to focus on the medium and not so much the persons involved. I feel that "Catherine saga" at this point is too narrow - we just have a single video and we're not really sure she's the main impetus behind this revival. To me at least, it seems sorta a side note compared to bigger picture things like Chris finally trying to earn money through his art and embracing transgenderism.

Ideally, we'd name this after the fact but it's helpful to have a label for us to refer to the events now. Most of the sagas were named after the fact or it was extremely obvious what to name it after - Chris was seeing Ivy, pretty much everything he did involved Ivy, so it made sense to call that the Ivy saga. But we're not really seeing the same thing here with Catherine. We're different from Wikipedia in the sense that you as the users have influence in determining what this is called. In a way, original research is acceptable here mostly because there's not really formal institutions that study autistic manchildren for a living. --Champthom (talk) 14:41, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
