I wanted to do this myself, but I was too lazy (:_(

Shouldn't it be written in the line with custom of describing events as they were in Chris' mind?

(Of course, I vote yes.)
 
There definitely should be something about it on the cwcki. I don't know if it deserves a separate article. I guess it would depend how many times Chris reacted. What, like three or so separate facebook posts? Kinda iffy.

I don't think we actually do that. Like, that's written as a rule somewhere, but I never understood that request. I don't think we ended up actually doing it that way. All the articles are written about Chris, in the same way a Chris scholar would put it.

It was more than three. He made a quite few about it and posted screencaps of the forums when people posted fake posters.

Wasn't reading the forums at the time of the trial but it seems you've done a TRUE and HONEST good job and the story line was well put.

Could be edited a little bit to make it even more amusing but I imagine a lot of cwcki piping would also add lulz to readers of the page and I believe it should at least be added to the cwcki trial page if not given it's own See Also; page and link at the bottom of that one.
I was hoping to get suggestions on how to make it more humorous.

A gallery of all the fake posters would be fun. Also, wasn't one of Chris's fakebook friends playing along with the gag?

Ah, then yeah, an article would probably be good, because it's both a significant clump of Chris content (his worrying about the posters) and it'd be easier to explain what he was sperging about with a whole article because there's a bunch of images prompting his sperging.

Not that I recall. Could be mistaken though.

I'm pretty sure it was this Shaemus guy shining him on...

I think I've got the guy's twitter post around somewhere...

Oh, I don't think so. I mean, unless you have the post.

Yes does anyone have the originals?
 
The poster that was about 2 blocks from the gAME pLACE is still up in the window.
 
Although I voted no, if people want the article, I might work on it.
 
I think that the poster plot does deserve an article because it was a successful troll scheme that got some hilarious reactions from Chris, "Crap, they may have hired a Skywriter"!!!
 
An article on this wouldn't be awful, it did provoke a bit of a reaction from Chris and it might explain what the hell he was rambling on about those few days on Facebook. You could incorporate it into the article on the CWCki Forums but its own article wouldn't be out of line.
 
Yeah, I think some reaction quotes interspersed within the article along with a photo gallery of the screencaps would be keen.
 
I like the idea, but I think that it would need a little more meat to the article. Right now it feels a bit like someone relating a story versus presenting an account of events.

And just a thought.. Didn't Chris try to give a possible description of what the people putting up these flyers would look like? People in Sweet Tooth masks and suits or something? It could be funny to mention that and have an accompanying Photoshop image with the caption, "This is what Chris actually believes."
