Chris or Altis is a member of 852 Resurgence. He is a Mediator in addition to being the Ambassador for Discovery Bay.

History

Chris joined the 852 Resurgence discord server in July 20th 2021. At the time, he was not active in the server, coming in to join in conversations time to time.

He is known for joining in server minigames and being part of the Minecraft Hypixel and Geoguessr sessions with other community members. Altis has also been regularly active on the transport discord channel, sharing his knowledge and generally talking about transport with other people. Since he is one of a few people that had lived in Discovery Bay, other members tend to joke around because of the reputation of the area, in which Chris finds it funny too.

In July 9th 2022, Chris was promoted to the affiliate of Discovery Bay due to a suggestion from Joyce and a request from Card0. Eventually, Altis was further promoted to an ambassador in November 7th 2022 by a poll alongside unstanning. Chris also started posting "metro line of the day" facts from November 14th 2022. He was promoted to Mediator through the nomination system on November 22nd 2022. Altis would be present for various trials such as StormNinja25's unban trial.

With the introduction of server collab events, Chris would help organize events between Copium Inhalers, a server he is in with some of his real life friends and 852 Resurgence, leading to the people from both servers developing a positive relationship.
