Clyde Cash

Even though the troll behind Clyde had played multiple characters, this article primarily tackles Chris's interactions with the Clyde persona. All of Clyde's other personas are discussed towards the end of the article.

Troll disclosure: This persona was created, appropriated, or otherwise used by trolls to manipulate Chris. He was played by the same person behind Gregg Mays, Vivian Gee, Mao, and Shigeru Miyamoto. Though this identity is contrived, the CWCki may treat it as if it were a real identity because it was to Chris. (It's also funnier that way.)

Clyde Cash (alias Gregg Mays – that's Gregg with three G's) (4 July 1976) was the ringleader of The Miscreants and is often considered to be Chris's arch-nemesis, even years after his trolling days were finished. In recent years, however, some have argued that the Idea Guys or Bella have taken this position away from Clyde. Nonetheless, when people think of Chris Chan's greatest trolls, Clyde is usually chief among them, usually due to the sheer volume of videos that Chris made denouncing or threatening his Guido rival.

In Chris's revised Encyclopedia Dramatica page, Clyde is referred to as a "Starscream troll". This is a reference to the Transformers character Starscream, who would often switch sides or plot to overthrow Megatron behind the scenes. Chris says this because he believes Clyde allegedly killed BlueSpike.

Ironically, despite Chris' constant demonizing of him, Clyde has warned him about several things that would later return to bite him in the ass, such as his unwillingness to work, spending habits, delusional thoughts and poor treatment of women, and even predicted Chris' innate desire to dress like a woman.

As mentioned above, the original troll behind the Clyde Cash persona was also involved with a variety of other personas dedicated to trolling Chris, and at least one was active at any given time during the "Classic Era" of Christory. Clyde and his various proxies retired following the death of Bob Chandler, with no clear word about where the original troll went.

Ryan's Death

A brother swears vengeance.

Ryan Cash was the fictional brother of Clyde, who committed suicide when Chris announced there would be no comics released in protest of the Encyclopedia Dramatica page. He left the following note before killing himself:

“	Dear family and friends, this is my final message to you, i am going to kill myself after my hero, christian weston chandler let me down. Sonichu was my hero and without anymore comics i will never be able to aspire to be just like him. i hate christian for deciding to not make any more comics and being lazy! all he does is play his stupid video game and not care about anything but himself! He's such a jerk! GOOD BYE FOREVER I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN HELL CHRIS. Ryan Cash.	”
A sad final farewell.

Clyde was absolutely heartbroken upon discovering his brother's cadaver, and entered a state of depression. While Chris was upset by this news, due to his naïve understanding of the concept of death, his response to the news came across as condescending to a grieving Clyde, who was upset that the video wasn't dedicated to his brother, but various news items that were seemingly of more importance to Chris. The final straw was when Chris made a thoughtless comment indicating that he enjoyed having enough influence over someone that they could kill themselves after he took a course of action.

Trolling

An artist's interpretation of this epic struggle.

Following from Ryan's death, Clyde's grief transformed into righteous indignation, and he swore to avenge his fallen brother by setting himself on a path to become Chris's archnemesis, even if he had to become a monster to do so. Clyde would be well-known for his various trolling plans against Chris.

Rape of PandaHalo

The first plan involving the Clyde persona was to make Chris believe that Clyde had raped his current sweetheart, PandaHalo. Panda would announce this revelation to Chris in an IRC chat, and tell him that she was impregnated, to which Clyde would repeatedly call her a "liar". Despite Chris's initial shock of the revelation, he was still willing to forgive Clyde for this, and had proposed that Panda get an abortion. This did absolutely nothing to Chris as he simply moved onto the next gal-pal. Chris believes that Clyde married Panda and had a "One Cent Daughter" named Penny.

Formation of the Miscreants

The Patriots from Metal Gear Solid, an inspiration for personas created by the trolls that called themselves the Miscreants.

Clyde would later be the founder and original leader of the Miscreants, a group of people who would troll Chris from early 2009 to 2011, terminating the group following Bob's death. Clyde has claimed the original purpose of the group was to prevent Chris from finding a boyfriend-free girl. Supposedly being a group that's been around since ancient times, they would also claim to be resposible for many of Chris's past misfortunes, prophesizing that a man dressed as a pickled cucumber would steal one of his sweethearts.

"Julie"

One of the first people that Clyde had recruited into the Miscreants was a 13-year-old troll that went by the name of BlueSpike. Bluespike had set up a Mumble chat in which Chris could communicate with TRUE and HONEST Sonichu fans. Clyde stalked Julie while infiltrating these chats to confront Chris. He began throwing demands to Chris such as cleaning his room. Chris at the same time also bought SonichuandRosechu.com. Clyde got access yet again, this time with the help of BlueSpike.

Misc. Trolling Plans and Suicide

After that, he sent out his trusted Man in the Pickle Suit to scout out Chris's whereabouts. The MIPS turned Robert Simmons V into a troll and infiltrated Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church. He then stole Chris's one and only date, Emily.

When Ivy came along, he decided to continually harass her and despite Chris making a few threats, Ivy eventually gave in and rumors circulated about her killing herself.

Clyde also hacked into the PSN a few times, but then Jack Thaddeus did him one better...

On 22 May 2009, the death of Clyde Cash, by a shotgun wound to the head, was reported by The Miscreants.

The Return

Chris's bizarre attempt to impersonate Clyde.

After Clyde faked his death for reasons unknown, he came back with a vengeance. Chris wasn't very pleased.

In late 2009, when not battling Liquid Chris for the hand of Kacey, Chris spent his time trying to convince Clyde Cash, alias Gregg Mays (or "Gregg Mays, alias Clyde Cash," depending on which name he remembers first) to face him in a one on one battle. Chris has recorded several feats of strength through a combination of Kacey trying to get him to get into shape and a desire to frighten Clyde with his bulging muscles.

Chris had also a picture to blackmail Clyde, but ultimately nothing came of it other than a series of videos where Chris tries to torture Clyde. Clyde scoffed at the final video.

However, because of the negative reaction to Sonichu Special #4, Chris, in the CWCipedia mailbag, made clear that he would only sit and talk cooperatively with Clyde to get him to stop harassing him.

Peace in our time.

Eventually, Chris decided to revisit his old nemesis in 2010, believing he was the reason why he lost the heart of "The Wallflower". In it, he is shown fighting Clyde, then pulling a knife and slitting Clyde's throat as a warning to all trolls.

In another well-thought counter-trolling plan, Chris unsuccessfully attempted to scam Clyde into paying Chris $9,001 for destroying his own PS3. This almost fail-proof scheme was however foiled thanks to Surfshack Tito's vigilance.

Retirement

The last time Clyde interacted with Chris was during Chris's campaign for Alex's Lemonade Stand, where Clyde donated $10 dollars and shockingly commended Chris for doing something selfless for once. Notably, the comment on the Alex's Lemonade Stand page was the only time that Clyde interacted with Chris after the death of his father, as he and several other Miscreants had agreed to leave Chris alone when they decided that Chris had suffered enough, and that trolling him wasn't fun anymore. At some point after this, Clyde Cash felt that his brother Ryan had been sufficiently avenged, so he retired to New Jersey where he, his wife Sarah, and their daughter Penny could watch the sun rise over a grateful universe. He has not been seen since then.

Chris, surprisingly, has forgiven Clyde for what he has done, or at least he's stopped caring. In 2014, Chris drew art of him and Clyde making peace as part of a commission, albeit with both parties doing so somewhat begrudgingly. Notably, Chris completely screws up Clyde's height, making him appear to be much shorter than he was in the pages of the comic.

Chris fights back

Having raped PandaHalo, threatened many of his other gal-pals, and being a general nuisance to him, Chris would try and fight back against Clyde every time he butted into Chris's life.

Threatening Violence

An artist's interpretation of Chris preparing for a throttling toward Clyde.

Chris strangling that Clyde Cash!

“	EEEEEEENNNNNNNNGH GON' SSSSSTRANGLE THAT CLYDE CASH! I will PAUNCH HIS LIGHTS OUT!	”
Chris threatening Clyde Cash

Clyde would be the subject of many threats of violence and death threats from Chris. Chris would declare that he would attempt to confront Clyde in a fight, and do such things as strangle him or "punch his lights out".

Chris would make use of an old Clown Doll, treating it as an object to release his anger towards Clyde on.

Attempted Doxing and Blackmailing

SPOILER: It's not really Clyde.

Throughout their encounters, aside from threatening physical violence on him, Chris would also try to fight against Clyde by threatening that he'll uncover his true identity and blackmail him, a tactic which he had attempted several times throughout.

In the video "Secret Weapon", Chris claims to have aqcuired the mugshot of Clyde, which is actually a photograph of Lee Hotti given to him by the troll lordsillynipples. Chris would use the photo to reperesent Clyde in various videos where he threatens beating him up, typically placing it over an old doll of a clown, the first instance of which he actually uploaded a few hours before he declared unveiling Clyde's identiy. A former troll-turned-white-knight would later inform him a month later that the picture he was given was not that of Clyde. Despite it not actually being Clyde, the picture was circulated ironically, treating it as the true picture of Clyde, and soon became the one representation many associate with the troll.

In another video, Chris would once again claim that he was able to figure out Clyde's true identity. There Chris claims that Clyde is actually a little kid who attends an elementary school in Frankfurt, Kentucky. Despite this, Chris still threatens Clyde by telling others to report him to the Frankfurt police. Chris would previously claim that Clyde was actually a minor in other videos, including one where he mocks Clyde by singing over the Coolio and Kylian Mash song Gangsta's Paradise.

In October 2009, Chris obtained an alleged photo of Clyde Cash straddling a man in a Spider-Man costume. In several videos, Chris would hint at possessing the photo to intimidate Clyde by using a cropped version of the image to represent Clyde. Chris would threaten to blackmail Clyde by releasing the full image, uncovering it bit by bit, unless he left him alone, and he reveals his true identity by a deadline, while also referring to the costumed man as the "itsy-bitsy spider". In on particular video trolls persuaded him to make, Chris would attempt to humiliate both Clyde and Jack Thaddeus, calling both of them weak by having this image take the place of the Twin Towers. Clyde did not stop, but Chris never returned the favor.

In the September 2020 Discord Q&A 4, Chris said that of all the trolls, the one he would want to meet the most is the person behind Clyde Cash (and, by extension, Vivian Gee, Mao, Gregg Mays, and Shigeru Miyamoto).

Other Aliases

The original troll behind the Clyde persona had also created a number of other alieses, all of which were intended for entirely different trolling plans involving Chris. Many of the conflicts that involved Clyde also would involve these other personas.

Vivian Gee

Main article: Vivian Gee

Vivian Gee, a cousin of Clyde was the first of several personas created by the troll behind Clyde, even predating the Clyde persona itself. Vivian had created the Sonichu Audiobooks, and other pieces of media that reference Chris.

After Clyde's alleged death, Vivian would take his place as the leader of the Miscreants.

Gregg Mays

See also: Gregg Mays E-mails

"Gregg Mays" was originally intended to be the name of a person entirely different from Clyde, a web designer working for Nintendo. The Gregg Mays character would be part of a plan to hack into sonichu.net, promising Chris that he will redesign the website to promote Sonichu for Animal Crossing. Gregg would ask Chris for both his username and password for his Tripod account in order to adapt a new "system" for the website, which Chris had promptly gave him, which led to Gregg hacking into the website. Gregg would then tell Chris to make a video to proclaim that he was straight to regain the website.

Even after Clyde spelled it out to Chris that "Gregg" was an alias of his, and that he was not Jason Kendrick Howell, Chris still believed it was Jason who hacked into the website. He sent a message to Clyde while thinking he was Jason, wishing him harm. Chris would also come to believe "Gregg Mays" to be the actual name of the troll who played the Clyde persona.

Other Nintendo Staff

Main articles: Shigeru Miyamoto, Reggie Fils-Aimé, Takashi Tezuka, and Jay Z

The troll behind Clyde would also roleplay as Nintendo staff besides Gregg. These staff members were Shigeru Miyamoto, Reggie Fils-Aimé, Takashi Tezuka, and James Zylberstein.

It was around this time that Takashi Tezuka and Jay Z were doing their Animal Crossing game project. Clyde then decided to make things more interesting and posed as Shigeru Miyamoto to destroy any chance of the project. Shigeru would engage with Chris in a series of emails, discussing the possibility of turning Sonichu into a video game franchise for the Nintendo platform.

Mao Ling

Mao Ling was the founder of Asperpedia.

In the comic

"Cly" in Sonichu Special #1.

Despite his prominence as the leader of the trolls and being the frequent object of Chris's scorn in his videos, Clyde's overall presence in the winding narrative of the comic is surprisingly smaller than one might think. In the context of the story, Cly(de) is just another villain working for Mary Lee Walsh. Given that his first appearance in a music video was illustrated well before Chris discovered the photograph of Lee Hotti that he mistook for Clyde Cash's true appearance, Cly is portrayed as a bald, red-eyed baddie with no beard and fair skin instead of a freckled, tanned dudebro with spiky hair, a headband, and a very thin beard across his chin. He also has a fabulous purple cape and a dapper suit underneath, rather than typical Guido attire. Cly also has a jetpack, which he uses to regain his bearings after being hit with a Curse-ye-ha-me-ha attack. Strangely, Chris did not update the character's design in his few subsequent appearances after he discovered the "truth" of the master troll's appearance (which was that of Lee Hotti), or much later, when he drew a commission of himself making peace with the troll.

Apart from capturing Ivy and getting into a fight with Chris, he initially only appeared on CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero, officially Sonichu Special #1. Not much is known about Clyde, other than he lives in a mansion and owns a slander ray and a pickle gun (which allows him to technically represent The Man in the Pickle Suit). He made his first appearance in the comic proper Sonichu #10 as the 4-cent_garbage.com building is collapsing. When Jason Kendrick Howell escapes, he condemns Clyde and Jack Thaddeus for being homo trolls. When Beel escapes, he too condemns the two for their actions, saying that being homo trolls that are "slandering and tarnishing an innocent man's good name" is just as evil as being an assistant for Adolf Hitler. With no option left, Clyde and Jack jump into the 66+6-story elevator shaft to their deaths. Judging by Chris's commission, however, the death did not stick, although Cly no longer serves as an antagonistic force in the winding narrative.
