Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

[Marvin]

I do know that several people played the role of Clyde throughout the trolling sagas, do we know how many people have come forward and said they played Clyde?

This is common misconception. Clyde was one person.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

Yeah. Now that I think about it, it was more about the character of Clyde that was hilarious, this orange-faced guido who became an arch-troll through the sagas, rather than the guy behind him, necessarily.

Yeah, for me one of the great attractions of the Classic Chris era is the bizarre characters it created like Clyde, Liquid and the Pickle Man. Chris is such a strange human being that it's somehow appropriate that he should have equally strange nemeses.

I know there were weens who pretended to be the "real" Clyde, hence the infamous incident when Chris believed Clyde was coming to kill him, shat the bed, put a bear in shades in his place and hid under a load of stuffed animals.

How many of the old trolls that have left the game ever think of coming back?

This Bluespike fellow claims he is the real deal, but not sure he is in the troll game still... or real for that matter.

 

[TOOTBLAN]

Hey I recall a chat conversation where Chris says "the video recorded my actions but not my thoughts" in relation to 26/12/14. Can anyone direct me to it?

 

[LiquidCooledGonads]

Chris' speech impediment has him pronounce "X" sounds as "Ts", but in the "Too Many Crooks" video, he seems to pronounce it right.

I wonder what Chris's personality type would be.
http://www.16personalities.com

He'd probably try to answer the questions in a way that would make himself look good, but we know that selfishness and arrogance are two of his defining traits.

While there is nothing inherently awful about the 16 types, traits like arrogance are mentioned in some of them.

He also seems to tilt between extroverted & introverted pretty quickly.

okay, since i actually like the mbti system (despite its not really reliable, but fun nonetheless)

Extroverted/Introverted: i think chris is leaning more towards being extroverted, but its kind of hard in his case to be honest:
on the one hand he had no problem to sit for hours in the mall, went to some openair concert ALONE ,
surrounded by people, just to attract a boyfriendfree girl. idk, to me it sounds more like something a lonely
and social awkward extrovert would do.
on the other hand he spend the majority of his time at home and barely went outside, mostly keeping himself occupied with
videogames and other stuff. but what else should he do if hes banned everywhere? still im not sure if id really call him an extrovert,
but to me its more likely.

Intuition and Sensing.... thats a hard one. Probably more Sensing? I dont know why, but he doesnt seem like someone relying
on his intuition and more someone relying on his 5 senses. I think that also implies that he is not able to approach things in a "meta" manner.

Thinking/Feeling? Id think that Chris is definitely more a Feeler than a Thinker, more likely to listen to his own emotions than to logic.
he never applies logic to anything... so F

Judging/Perceiving? Hard one as well. Chris is pretty judgmental, doesnt seem too flexible about things, but J also often means that the person
rates tidiness and organisation higher and that doesnt apply to chris that well. Still i'd say hes more Judgmental than Perceiving. Its common that people shift between two types.

So my result is ENFJ with a tendency to I and P

Hm, interesting.

Still. It really is something how quickly he can become introverted or extroverted.

Then again, Chris doesn't want to be around other people because he likes them; he just wants praise & attention from them.

What would Chris do if I sent him an Original Xbox preloaded with a shit load of SEGA Genesis games and wrote a note detailing that there's a shit load of Genesis games and how to get to them?

Shit his pants and do nothing.
I don't know if sending Chris junk is automatically a trolling plan, but frankly, do you really want to spend money shipping things to him?

 

[Tayjelir]

No I wouldn't actually send him something I put a lot of hard work into. Just curious as to how he would react. Even if I repainted it with a Sonichu Pokeball theme I guess he would still destroy the evil Hexbox.. or just destroy an "obvious troll" parcel.

He'd play it or sell it.

Have there ever been any Chris impersonators on the forums? People trying to gain their 15 minutes of fame by trying to speak like Chris, for example?

I don't think anyone's ever pretended to be Chris as part of a long con.

On the forum, impersonating Chris to mock him is such an common habit that the "No Role-Play" rule was instituted.

 

[Lipitor]

Yea, I think the only reason Christian hates xbox is because he thinks he has to by virtue of not owning one. He has to validate his decision to purchase a PS3. When other people went with Xbox his reaction can't just be "oh you have xbox, yea i got ps3, thats cool". He has to fiercely oppose xbox just to prove his loyalty to sony to himself. It's mostly routed in jealousy and immaturity. If he had one he'd play it and realize it's nearly the same thing as ps3 with few games he's never tried before. Anything contradictory he said in the past wouldn't bother him at all. He might destroy it if it had no games with it, but if it had stuff he wanted on it and it showed up right in front of him no strings attached, he'd play it. Though I don't know how much gaming he does these days.

Yeah. His hatred of X-box is rooted in his love of Playstation. Which is a lot deeper than the normal guy's " I have a PS3. I find it a quality console with a lot of fun games".

He buys deeply into brand loyalty stuff in a way that isn't seen outside of commercials. Which is probably the source of his attitudes about things. Commercials push the message that if you are a fan you should buy only their brand, and everything their brand. Chris internalized that message.

I mean I'm basing my assumptions on a fight my friend and I had over which was better; Genesis or SNES when we were 6. We both had to believe that the one we had was the best and the other one must be total garbage. In reality we were better off having different systems cuz we both got to play each system that way.

Yeah, seriously. His brand loyalty is one of the most striking things about Chris, to me. Chris is the biggest sucker I've ever heard of. You could probably describe Chris' gender issues as brand loyalty.

 

[Lipitor]

You could probably describe Chris' gender issues as brand loyalty.

Oh definitely. That's how he treats the whole LGBT thing. Even the Autism/Aspergers thing was a brand loyalty issue to him. Maybe that's why he feels so betrayed when they change Sonic's arm colors.

 

[AnOminous]

I dunno about that. PC master race vs. console peasant wars get to the level of religious crusades, with people taking them way more seriously than they should. Similarly people who love and/or hate Apple products also take this shit way too seriously. I've seen autists exchange death threats over shit like that.

A week or 2 ago some autist posted a video where he very poorly impersonated Chris and got laughed off the fourms. I subscribed to his YouTube channel but it got shut down pretty quickly.
