Or even the humans just, you know, offering to do all that genetic alteration stuff without the going to war part of it. "Hey, ya know, we could just alter you so you don't have a zillion kids and thus DON'T have to eat them." Why would that necessarily only have to come AFTER a war?

You know, for all those "Why haven't we just destroyed this" things, and "wouldn't SCP-whatever be cool with SPC-another" questions, why not add two more spots on the template to be filled in? "CLEARED FOR CO-EXPERIMENTATION:" and "APPROVED FOR DECOMISSIONING:". Have them both be pretty much only modifiable by O5 (IE, not at all), and there ya go. A lot of the stupider questions stopped, if only because O5 won't approve stuff that might be common sense. Might even have the listed status be a link to a more overall explanation page; sort of like if Safe, Euclid, and Keter all linked to quick summaries of what their levels meant. Which would also be a nice idea, if you could get a 'bot to go through the wiki and convert mentions of the word to wiki links to the articles.

I'm sorry, I think I was misinterpreted. What I meant was, that both sections would ALWAYS say "NO". Unless someone came to a mod with a great idea or something, the sections would be uneditable and always deny both. No, O5 hasn't said you can smash twenty SCPs together. No, you can't throw the little girl who hears voices into the Sun. No, we don't care that you think this SCP could solve world hunger if mixed with this SCP. We don't even care if you have good reason to believe it. O5 said no, and that's final, so shut up.

The cross-SCP thing is why I suggested the use of generally-locked fields like "CROSS-EXPERIMENTATION" and "APPROVED FOR DECOMMISSIONING". If you have a good idea, run it by someone with the right to unlock the tags. Otherwise, if no one's allowed to cross-test, and the field says so, that gives you another rule to smack down idiots for. It's a little obtuse, but then again, isn't that what SCP is good at?

Can we get the posting of SCP-087 game info made an SCP? "SCP-087-1: Euclid Containment procedures: Closer attention paid to thread Description: Posting of information about SCP-087 game made in 'Source' engine, with multiple claims of game not being mentioned in thread prior. Multiple posters with no connection independently post links to videos and stories about SCP-087-1, despite prior postings and pages long talk of game. Possible memetic influence."

One thing that annoys me about a bunch of SCPs is something I see recurring a lot. Whenever you have one that can add other objects to itself, such as Garbage Man, it seems to end up with each article going the same way. Object added, object ends up being a part of the body, object outwardly almost unchanged, internally object is now made of FLESH! or flesh like materials. I see this multiple times, and it just seems hollow each time. The first time, ok, it converting to flesh is interesting. After it keeps happening in a bunch of entries, though, it just becomes something expected and meaningless. Like how so many articles kill a billion D-classes, or how so many maze or location SCPs end up having an evil monster or something inside that wants to kill everything it sees.

Cross test it with 682. Instant upvote. "SCP-1230 displayed the message 'NO' for several months after exposure to 682. Upon returning to 'active' state, the standard welcome message appeared to be in shaky lettering, and hurriedly written. When confronted about the events that transpired, SCP-1230-1 declined to comment, but stated that it is still dedicated to its mission, though a period of psychological recovery was needed. SCP-682 appeared more pleased than usual as it tore apart the 20,000 D-Classes needed to get it back into its containment after the dream-state."

Just add some information on WHY they don't want that one in the general public. "Oh, it makes people happy, how is that bad?" Well, it makes people happy in a fantasy world. It should be upgraded to Euclid, despite containment and general good conduct, thanks to the guy who committed suicide. If this got into the world it could change a ton of things, and not much for the better. No matter how little harm it means, people would still get hurt. That's why it's in there, not because it's too evil, but because it's too good. Make that clearer in the article and I think it would get voted better.

Splicer posted:In this specific circumstance, knowing what's over the edge turns you into some kind of infectious meme zombie. While applicable to a number of SCPs, not telling you what's behind the edge is not a criticism of this one. Actually, according to the discussion section, knowing what's over the edge is completely fine. The only infectious thing is being able to understand what the subjects are saying. If they speak a language you understand (not necessarily your native one), and you comprehend their words, you're hosed. Actually seeing them or the ships or the edge or whatever is meaningless. The dangerous part is understanding the words of whatever returns, so that's all that should be expunged. Images, descriptions, that sort of thing should be fine.

While true, the discussion by the author specifically says that only comprehension of what the infected says is infectious. Knowledge of what's over there isn't dangerous; nor is a recording of the words themselves as long as you can't understand it. If you understand what they're saying, you're infected. If you don't understand, you're perfectly safe. That's how it works.

"Hey, I have this idea for an SCP; a sheet of music with like, blood instead of ink. Also it's incomplete." "What's it need?" "Oh, no, I mean the sheet of music is incomplete." "Well, it doesn't sound very dangerous. Say, you know what, how about people sacrifice their own blood until it's complete whenever they're near it?" "Neat, plus if it never gets completed, it can chew up an infinite amount of D class personnel!" "I can't see any flaws in this plan! Post it, then let's go get high and cross test 682 with some more poo poo."

The O-5s enjoy watching stupid poo poo happen to SCP personnel from their magic moon base on Earth-27 Beta, protected by a billion time loops and also Steve, who is a really good security guard and came highly recommended. By Cthulhu.

JackMann posted:I... may steal Steve for a tale. That is, a perfectly normal, mundane security guard whose only perceived value is that he came highly recommended by something that made the Foundation take notice. This should be obvious, but just for simplicity's sake, feel free. No whining or "DON'T STEAL MY IDEA" here, go ahead.

I also like how something like, say, any radiation blocking chamber of any type would cause the evolution. Along with 100% of humanity being "susceptible". Better not let people go deep into dark caves! They might evolve into superpsychicmegapowermonsterhumans!

New quiz: Have the quiz automatically pull up one of the lowest rank SCPs. Have the testee point out grammar and spelling errors, and explain how they would improve the SCP to bring it up to acceptable status. Then ban anyone who adds more death and awesome lasers.

Jump scares should be a -J. Just the entire concept of a jump scare. "Object Class: Description: Object is a boring video game based on well known character [REDACTED]. Upon reaching a certain point in playthrough, a Addenum: This is not 4chan people."
