A couple of years back I was chatting with some people on an unrelated IRC about what I thought would be a neat idea for an SCP, and this is what we hammered out. I provided the original idea for the one way sign, and I guess other people ran with that and made more stuff, which I'm actually pleasantly surprised by now that I've returned after three years to read the article again.

Yeah, it was being downvoted into oblivion, so I took your basic idea and turned it up several notches.

If you examine it closely, you'll see that just about every aspect of that one is based on an aspect that was in the original.

I like the change that the signs are entirely benign when left on their intended posts, making the foundation's efforts to collect them all allowing them to become active. I really really like the speed limit altering the maximum speed of light, creating a hazard just by how physics would interact at the boundary. It's leaps and bounds better than my original idea of "What would be an amusing way to create a perpetual energy machine? Attach one of those one-way signs to an axle, put a weight at a 90-degree offset to its direction, and activate its properties."

Definitely goes to show you don't need a MURDER DEATH KILL MONSTER to make for an interesting object that you'd still want to avoid being stuck in a room with.

Oh, you're interested in the physics?

On an unrelated note, you may be interested in the Republic of Arnold Fitzwilliams.

Keeping in theme of the thread, I submit my lowest-rated thing on the site: Containing Creation.

This was written when the site was doing A Thing where you do a crossover between the Foundation Universe and another universe. For this one, I decided to make a crossover with the Elder Scrolls universe, with the article discussing the Foundation getting their hands on a literal Elder Scroll. I still like it, but it took a lot of flack for using my self-insert in the thing. I didn't do it for ego or anything; my self-insert's gimmick is that he's played too many vidya games and poo poo like an Elder Scroll just wouldn't do what it does to most people.

Oh yes, Project Crossover!

"So, the SCP Foundation is quickly becoming, if it is not already, a "thing" on the internets. However, there is one more step we must take before we become a full-out "thing."

Terrible crossover fanfiction."

I don't remember off the top of my head what its number was, but I remember this on SCP that was basically a truck that would teleport valubles inside of it and leave sarcastic notes to those it robbed, such as 'i.o.u. the chance to say I do and mean it' when it stole a bunch of wedding rings.

It was captured after it tried to steal something from the Foundation, with the note being something like 'what is this ohfuckohshit take it back!'

That would be "Ill-Begotten Gains". I like the phrase "anomalous larceny".

I like how it's so easily neutralized by removing the battery and tires. Too many SCPs fall into a trap where vital parts are indestructible or you die horribly when you try to remove them. Sometimes these preventative measures are more spectacular than the SCP's effects themselves.

Although that camera equipment teleports out of the truck and prevents observation kind of falls under that same heading, and makes no sense to boot, because camera equipment is heck of valuable.

well, maybe the [WHATEVER] just doesn't like being observed.

Does anyone know if the whole clockwork god saga went back up? it was pulled down years ago due to an author tantrum I believe, but it was a series of SCPs; a virus that makes organic matter into clockwork, a girl? who could control machinery and a massive clockwork self building machine? alone they were standard SCPs but there was back story of serious poo poo going down if they were ever all to combine?

Eh, it was never finished. It's not going back up because of, as you said, "author tantrum". The clockwork virus is 217, the massive self-building machine is... probably 882?

There used to be a ridiculous amount of articles with SCP-808 interactions, it was out of control.

I think that was because of the guy who created (that version of) 808 adding her to all the other articles. This was back when crosstests were popular.

Later, Clef wrote a new version of 808. SCP-191 is still a cyborg girl who can instinctively communicate with machines, but with some important differences...

Realistically there'd be two different classifications: danger and containment.

Yeah, we've discussed that a lot (and it's the basis of this -J, "Class-Action Lawfruit"). Basically, a real organization would have a classification system more finely-grained than Safe/Euclid/Keter, but we're just a scattered bunch of loons writing bureaucratic creepypasta as a hobby. If you want to introduce something new to the system that the community uses, fine -- if people like it, they'll use it; if not, they won't. If you want to change something that the community uses, you'll have to convince everyone else that what was previously used is flawed. And a simpler system is more narratively acceptable.



Here, this one is Keter because Nibbles might have seen the sun at some point, and because total containment would require controlling what a hamster thinks and remembers.

Which SCP is it that consists of a region of spacetime in the Foundation that someone walked into accidentally and changed their relative speed to something like 1 cm a year, but the cumulative result is that once they leave the warped spacetime, they'll have built up enough accumulated relative speed to our own spacetime that their impact with our universe will basically cause a nuclear explosion?
