Unironically making things more complex can be creatively bankrupt if the original version was already good. It's like adding extra details to an already perfect costume. Pic unrelated.

All legit articles I've had the misfortune to read in the past week. Also, the amount of overly long and rambly articles with a million dialogue boxes makes reading any modern SCP a chore at best.

What makes me laugh the most is the gay logo for every article with an author that supports lgbt, so you can easily recognize who is a faggot and who is not.

Too much drama, pretty much this aspect of the internet killed everything for me, like the trans rights thing is so unbelievably obnoxious to the point even a libertarian take makes you a bigot for not supporting active anti-harassment policies. They can die in their own despotism.

>>148953663
You thinking of this one?

>>148953855
nta but it's not that one, anon probably id talking about the one with the stickmen playing cards, and it's more than a decade old meme.

>>148953788
Pretty much this. It wasn't the drama that ultimately killed SCP, but the overexposure to normies which led to creation of terrible fanfiction and SCPs themselves becoming an excuse to write slop, like with the that Wanderer's Library story where a mysterious eldritch being inside of it turns into a seal to have a wholesome therapy with a researcher, which all turns out to be a blatant case of self-inserting.

Today's writers literally can't make anything other than poorly written stories, meme concepts or powerwank that makes an average animefag blush. Everyone who cared left for RPC, but they were retarded too and obsessed too hard over a needless canon and sense of continuity.

>>148953648 (OP)
While I don't think any posts in this thread are wrong, I think SCP has a lot more intrinsic issues than just general normie invasion watering-down.

For one, SCP started off mysterious and unknown. A shadow organization that catalogued and contained anomalies, but how do they operate? How many anomalies do they have? The mystique was part of the appeal and as a natural consequence of being expanded on that mystique was lost. Even if only the original writers were the only ones contributing, if they produced as much content as currently exists, the same issue would be present.

Second, SCP was built from the ground up to be small. The popularity has died off pretty significantly but even in the renaissance ~5 years ago it wasn't the same. There was never and will never be another SCP- 173 or another - 096 because there were too many to ever reasonably expect people to know just the numbers of even the most popular entries. The recognition and iconic monsters and their numbers was only possible when there were only a handful of entries.

Third, is just power creep. Not just in actual power levels, even though that is a significant issue, but because it's extremely difficult and unrewarding to try and be genuinely creative when writing another low to the ground monster SCP. It will never be as iconic as the classics and even if it is good it will still feel like a rehash. This leaves most people wanting to push the envelope, but unfortunately there's only so many ways to do that with the wiki format. You can use fancy layouts, images, exploration logs, ect. but at the end of the day all those techniques have the same problem: they just add *more*. It's cool when someone does it the first time but then that becomes the standard and anything less is boring. So you add more. And then it keeps going until everything is a cluttered overwritten mess. This is just a natural consequences of any project that goes on too long but SCP suffers from it especially

>>148953788
Yep, this. I still read the top rated pages per month and 4 out of 5 articles aren't about an interesting idea, but about a political issue the author wants to address through the guise of an SCP. Modern SCPs are more often than not a metaphor for being trans, or gay, or depressed, or abused, or what have you. The other 20% of articles are miles long loredumps that are part 8 in a series of 15 and aren't really about the SCP itself either, but about internal politics in the foundation.
There's very few modern SCPs that are just about an unusual thing anymore.

I don't give a fuck if you stick your dick in men, women or nothing at all, but you should really keep that to your twitter dot com rather than a site dedicated to stories about anomalous objects.

Slightly related, but I see that younger generations are completely obsessed with "lore". Is it because vaccines + being born in front of a screen are causing higher concentration of autism? Not judging.

A rise in popularity meant it became more and more common that the wrong people would take notice and begin contributing. Eventually it became nothing more than a platform for people to express their creativity in the form of story, characters, etc... instead of, you know, spooky shit.

>>148954322
Vaccines don’t cause autism. What are you, a Facebook mom?

>>148954322
the word "lore" has been mangled so much over the past decade that the casual definition has grown to encompass any sort of story existing at all. and people have always liked stories. this isn't anything new.

>>148954322
Vaccines don't cause autism. That was a scam by lawyers so people would hire them to sue the government, which would of course get them lots of money in hiring fees. Those lawyers were convicted for this scam. Look up the Lancet MMR autism fraud. It was conspiracy level shit.

Most of the nu writers are *okay*. They occasionally produce something interesting. Like the Red Tape series is a reimagining of the original villain factions that stays true to the concepts. (IE: Deavas being actually morally evil, Sarkics having weird religious practices, etc.)

Even as someone who likes Kaktus, 3935 is one of my favorite articles in on the site, I can't help but feel like his success was a mistake. I liked him because he stood out in quality and style. His type of slow burn atmosphere that was more eerie than scary was entertaining. Problem being it's a very hard style to get right and even easier to get oversaturated with. Now with every other author trying to be a Kaktus-like and Kaktus himself going way too far with his novelesque articles, it really does fucking suck.

>>148954560

It had immense potential, though. An anomalous faction being used to lampoon Web 3 astroturfers like iDubbz, H3, Frank, etc. that fully codified in 2016 would have been amazing and it was actually very topical when it first showed up.

Currently its more that the numbered entries are instead entire novels in themself and the whole containment part somehow feels as if it is secondary.

>>148956262
IIRC I think that's the existential abatement series. Which is... okay? I feel like it gets bogged down in too much scifi babble to really be compelling. But the idea is interesting enough to keep me reading.
TL;DR it's about the logistical problems caused by the waste runoff of literally thousands of anomalies and how to get rid of them safely. As is typical the foundation builds something huge to try and get rid of the waste, but it ends up going wrong.

>>148953648 (OP)
The Normie Effect

The first generation of entries were mostly novel, original ideas (or at least novel twists on existing ideas) that were well-written and thought out, and even the second generation of entries were at least mostly people trying to follow what the first generation did (albeit to varying degrees of success). But by the time the third generation came around SCP had gone just mainstream enough that the people making new contributions were those largely unfamiliar with the original material who didn't make any effort to understand what the appeal was. This is where you started seeing a lot of straight up copy-pastes of existing popular SCPs with a handful of details changed, as well as the rise of the obnoxious lorefaggots with main character syndrome - all trying to set up their shitty OCP as the MOST important one.

From there things quickly went into a downward spiral as far as quality with all the political drama and tranny shit and subversive metacommentary.

Anybody knows a hobby that is on stage 1? I wanted to get to 40k but I took to long to get to it and it's now on stage 5-6. I want something that won't get a hollywood adaptation in the next 10 years or so.

>>148956752
Anon, nobody who's into a hobby at stage 1 is going to advertise it specifically for the reason that it would cease to be a hobby at stage 1. This is the equivalent of walking into a seedy bar and announcing
>"How do you do, fellow criminals? I am a criminal looking for someone to partake in some illicit activities with. Would any of you be interested in selling me some illegal marijuana or heroin, or in arranging the armed robbery of a gas station or financial institution, or could direct me to others who would?"
Even if your intentions are sincere, nobody's going to talk to you.

>>148956752
The problem is that everything inevitably progresses to the other stages with time. The community can try to gatekeep as much as they want, but companies want money, they don't care about the source of that money, and what they need to do to get it.

You can try a more obscure hobby like old and mostly forgotten tabletop RPGs or vydia that few people know nowadays, but it comes with the disadvantage that it's hard to find people to talk about it and discuss the hobby with you.

>>148953900
How powerful are they anyway?

>>148954322
Because lore means you can enjoy a story more with friends. One shot stories have a limited life span. If a story is isn't continuous or have deeper meanings it will be forgotten, same happens even on /co/.

I saw one of those youtube cartoon scp explained videos about wondertainment's miss sweet or whatever her name was. this misandrist that turns men into candy. the video said that she DOESN'T TURN WOMEN PRESENTING INTO CANDY! I shouldn't have to explain how retarded it is that the man hating scp would left trans women alone. ms sweet would obviously be a terf, and the sight of seeing meen pretending to be women would send her into a blinding rage that would make her target trans women on sight.

if you don't have the conviction to follow through with a premise just because it would be "transphobic", then you obviously shouldn't be writing stories about a psychotic woman that discriminates against all men within a 40 mile radius

>>148956752
I think its pure luck. I got into Trevor Henderson's art about a year before Siren Head blew up. I got into SCP at 2-3. I got in 40K a few years before it reached 4-5, like at the very end of its glory days. Search around for weird, obscure and interesting stuff, tread paths not lightly taken, and eventually you'll find something you'll love, that isnt yet corrupted
>>148956895
I feel like SCP shouldve been the sole exception to this as it wasnt beholden to any company and its community were capable of gatekeeping it

>>148957082
Do not watch the Youtube videos. They are usually made by content farms that repeatedly get info wrong or completely make shit up. The author for Ms. Sweetie also did not take trans people into account when it was written. It is the opposite of what you are complaining about.

>>148957082
How would that even work? Does she like mind read everything in a 40 mile radius? Does she only ignore individuals who haven't had top/bottom surgery, or does just self-identifying count? Does something like dressing up in count? What's the threshold on that?

Once i had ideas for a version of the SCP Foundation that wasnt an all-encompassing global conspiracy more powerful then the USA and UN, but just a shady network of anti-supernatural cells on a shoestring budget operating more like a criminal syndicate hidden behind front operations and shell companies with many of its operatives being civilians gang-pressed into working for it and not really realising its full extent. Amnestics also didnt exist so theyd have to actually put in effort to hide the supernatural by manipulating media and law enforcement, etc. Itd be like those creepypastas except the survivors get contacted at the end to help cover up the monster and get paid hush money
Then I realised this was just Delta Green with extra steps

>>148957204
Anyone can do anything with SCP as long as they follow the terms of the creative commons license. People are required to credit the original author, allow others to share the work, and release any adaptation under the same terms. This essentially makes piracy legal.

>>148954254

thats really not true at all. SCP was created by 4channers. The backrooms wiki was created by zoomer secondaries and redittors who did a very poor job of copying

>>148957116
>I feel like SCP shouldve been the sole exception to this as it wasnt beholden to any company and its community were capable of gatekeeping it
True, but all it takes is for the hobby to be exposed to the wrong audience for it to start to degrade. I blame the SCP games made during the 2010's. A bunch of famous youtubers at the time start playing them, which lead to people knowing about the SCP foundation, and start to degrade it more and more.

>>148957117
ah. my mistake then. this brings in a whole other issue since most newfags that are going to experience scp are going to be like me and experience it through a secondary medium like the games, youtube, or art, without ever going to the original source.

>>148957138
the video (which is apparently fake and gay) just had a cartoon man with a beard in a dress and does not elaborate further. if i cared at all about csp i would write a story about a guy who's life is destroyed because he ate one of those supernatural candies that pops up within a 20 mile radius of ms. sweetie, and it turned out he was actually a woman inside. he doesn't know how to handle the knowledge and it keeps gnawing at him so he kills himself. and then at the end it's just ms. sweetie fucking with him because she knows that men kill themselves every time they eat her candy and don't turn into candy themselves

Overexposure is blatantly wrong for anyone who knows a little about how the site works. The back end of SCP is insular and cliquish as hell, you're either friends with a mod/admin or you suck their cock. All those 500 page skips that are actually tales, the self-inserts, the therapy sessions, unveiled political screeds, that shit all came from the long-running crew in charge, people associated with them, or their approval.

>>148958468
This is a terrible analogy. The way SCP works essentially gives you a private hallway you can customize and maintain. Everyone else gets their own hallway too. You are triggered at someone wallowing in filth when you do not have to join them.

>>148953648 (OP)

>>148954227

>>148954325
The trick is to give everyone their own space. For example, a super hard game being given a casual difficulty does not impede the fun had by the original players who still play the original super hard difficulty. If they have any issues with the casual difficulty then they were never really playing the game for fun to begin with and had other reasons for playing, probably mental illness or derangement-based reasons, such as narcissism or spite. I you have a piece of candy, and then someone else also has their own candy of the same kind, them also having the same candy does not delete your candy, so there is no reason to be upset unless it's for crazed or malevolent reasons.

The reverse to that comic is also true. Take Yu-Gi-Oh! for example. I played the OG and when they started adding a fuckton of convoluted new card types and rules and power crept the game, I stopped playing.

>>148954492
What annoys me the most is how "fans" keep talking like there is an actual canon or unified story. There isn't. And one person can't make a contribution and just decide they are going to determine and set what the story is, particularly when they are not the writers of every other article. It'd be like if you wrote a story, and then I or someone else decided to just change it.

>>148954488

>>148957229
>Then I realised this was just Delta Green with extra steps
Nothing wrong with that, I think SCP would benefit a lot from having the Delta Green framework imposed on it. Replace the Mythos with just any supernatural threat, and you have good groundwork for a setting where the Foundation is way more cowboy and low stakes, and fighting more evenly with groups like MCD and GOC.

Retarded kiddies are a big factor, they're usually the ones that need their dumb toys and cartoons to have lore, which is why they obsess with the backrooms, "deep" Friday Night Funkin' mods, Sonic.exe, FNAF, and so on.

>>148956752
There is nothing on stage 1. There is never anything on stage 1. The image macro is bullshit because Stage 1 is whenever you get into the hobby. When everything is new and exciting, you knowledge of the greater fandom is minimal, and nothing that you like has been changed or altered. Doesn't matter when you actually come in during the lifecycle, Stage 1 is when you start.

Unless you can physically control access, gatekeeping isn't real. Also gatekeeping is a behavior that very rapidly spirals into something that benefits and caters to the people in control, which can just as rapidly destroy a thing.

You faggots are just spewing the same bullshit you did in 2015. We all already know that this is just incrementalist bullshit meant to get out guards down so you can slink even deeper into the hobby. You faggots go down any and every hall way you can and fill it with turds and liquid shit, and then get angry when you're told to go away.

Everything else you said was spot on and normies absolutly deserve their fair ahare of the blame though.

>>148958916
You could say normies are like an immuno disease. The more of them get into a hobby, the more gaps they create for degenerates to seize control because they don't care about the warning signs of infection.

>>148958986
You miss the point so fucking hard. SCP is practically public domain. You can maintain your own version of it on your hard drive. Stop being a little bitch when the power is in your hands. If other people easily ruin something for you then you are simply a reactionary weakling who must always act powerless.

That would be fine, the problem is that companies or whoever is responsible for the content/hobby, in time, try to appeal more and more to a more diverse crowd, instead of the intial target audience, which in time leads to the hobby/game/comic/etc. losing its initial essence.
It gets to a point where it tries to cater and please so many people that it stops being appealing to a considerable number of others.

I think the content needs to stay true to it's vision. Usually its the marketing department that gives the shitty ideas, so the creator needs to take the reigns and stay true on their course, without steering away from it's vision.

At this point, they can rebuild the world from scratch so that no one remembers what happened, and have done so multiple times. They have immortal magic cyborg soldiers and space travel through the solar system. They can directly edit reality and directly prevent reality from being edited. They have imprisoned gods from various pantheons, and are vaguely opposing Kingdom-Hearts-esque cosmic entities.

The only classification change I didn't completely hate was adding a "danger level" to some of them in cases where they were Keter class solely for being difficult to contain/keep contained but were otherwise not especially dangerous.

Jellyfish can survive because their bodies are built for it. SCP-096's morphology is a slight distortion of a human and we absolutely can't survive going that far down without our technology.

>>148961483
>Jellyfish can survive because their bodies are built for it.
In case you are unaware, deep sea pressure is isostatic. That is, it applies uniformly in every direction. It's not like getting squeezed by a hydraulic press. A water balloon can handle any arbitrary ocean depth just fine, because isostatic pressure doesn't physically damage things that don't resist it. Diving deep is dangerous for air-breathing things because compressing air causes problems like gas toxicity, and humans diving deeper than a few hundred feet requires an artificial low-pressure environment, which isostatic pressure CAN damage. If you drop a human corpse into the sea tied to an anchor, the pressure at the bottom of the sea won't damage it at all. The lungs will just fill with water. Something that doesn't need to breathe air surviving a brief visit to the deep ocean is not very impressive in and of itself, and the physical durability implied is the least significant part of it. Jellyfish are made of literal jelly, the softest living tissue to be found in the animal kingdom. Bubbles pose significant physical danger to them.

This is one of the things I'm worried about happening to Trench Crusade. The core aesthetic is simple: WWI/The Crusades with an Abrahamic religious horror coating. So long as it stays focused on Europe/The Levant, that core aesthetic stays intact. But you've got people clamoring to add the Chinese, Japanese, Native Americans, etc. which you can't add without losing that core European/Islamic Caliphate identity.

>>148968756
A shame. The concept of a literal demon whose entire nature is to prey upon the vice of man being an incredibly religious girl who simply wishes to live a chaste life in a nunnery is a good one.

>>148975133

The reason 079 is an anomaly is that it's such a sofisticated fully sentient AI housed in impossibly old technology. There's no doubt we'll have advanced AI soon, maybe we'll have AI that is truly sentient and considered artificial life. But nothing that can be run through a fucking dinosaur computer from the 90s and floppy drives.
And the fact that 079 operates in such impossibly old technology makes it dangerous in what it could possibly do if it escaped the confines of the computer it's in.

The Beauty of Delta green comes from the fact that it's not really afraid to be uncomfortable. SCP sort of plays at that idea, but rarely pays off on an idea that legitimately makes you think, or feel off.
Like 237 is good because of the implications that it's a horrible containment procedure. But it has to be done. So the best thing you can do is make sure the girl is at least healthy.

I think it's because Delta green, for all the little problems I have with it, presents scenarios where players/readers might have actual arguments with eachother. While SCP presents something that's sort of happened in the past tense, it's a flaw of the format.

>>148983100
Yeah. Delta Green is the MTF in the field, but without the twee quips and infinite backing of an omnipotent Foundation. Instead it's barely-qualified people with unclear goals and bad equipment fighting for their lives with no reward at the end besides "We gave mankind another few years to kill themselves"

>>148983100
>>148983369
That's the best way to do it: everything is dark, fucked up, and leading to nothing more than OMNI/absolute suffering, and you at least make the most of it in a way, all the while leaving you and your team messed up, and probably your friends and you to argue and stuff lol.

also scp 237 isn't the montauk stuff.

>>148982757
Maybe he came back under another alias and went for the long game. Either way Oracle got the last laugh in the end.

>>148953663
This isn’t an invalid point but it should also be pointed out that there is not a single magazine or anthology book or anything where you’re not eventually going to get stinkers, especially with so many people trying to contribute. That’s just the name of the game. Is there also drama bullshit and e-peen ego trips? Of course, but the nature of stuff like this is always going to lean in the direction of getting so big that the things you initially liked about it aren’t easily visible anymore.

>>148978082
Is there any series of tales as good as the 3125/There is No Anti-Memetics division? It does a really good job of slow burn rabbit hole horror.

>>148983041
The problem with SCP is that the foundation is just too powerful for me to feel any sense of horror.
I like the articles but that's more cause I like it when weird things are categorized.
The Program is only like 1000 people strong, and the Outlaws are like 50-100.
The foundation feels like it's half a billion strong, and the idea of a super strong organization fighting weirdness is interesting, it's not scary.

>>148984481
I think if you try and take everything as canon you run into brick walls very fast. The SCP org is as powerful as a story requires it to be, which sometimes means it’s a bunch of bureaucrats with their thumbs up their ass unaware of the shitstorm bearing down on them, and sometimes they’re so unbelievably powerful and competent they have Capital G God locked in a cell somewhere.

>>148983041
This all reminds me of Search and Rescue Woods. In that story instead of an omnipotent global conspiracy like SCP or glowniggers on a budget like Delta Green, its entirely normal people who are the ones covering up the supernatural, with no funding or organisation or skills or any sort of help. Their not ex-cia or anything they're just park rangers

>>148980522
Yeah, I just wasn't sure if it would travel well in a lack of atmosphere. But you're right, once decibels start getting past double digits it starts getting a bit hard to wrap your head around since decibels go up exponentially.

>>148984061
The Scarlet king proposal is actually a very interesting bit of philosophical reading. I enjoyed it because it wasn't just an Evil god, but there were layers to why it was how it was. Compelling at the least.

"Casual Absent paranoia" is an article that's a decent one-off horror piece. Very good at a slow build, doesn't overdo it with the monster too much.

"When Day Breaks" despite being wanked to hell, was wanked to hell because it's a decent bit of horror writing. Cosmic horror too. There's no reason for the inciting event, it just *is* and everything goes to hell because of it.

For more classic horror, I recommend "This is where I died" It has a very horror movie feel to how it's all written, and the reveal at the end is clever enough imo to make you grin a bit. Because you realize why the entry is made that way.

If you want something from the first series, 783, "The Crooked Man" is a masterclass in doing just enough fucked up shit that it doesn't feel gratuitous. In my opinion it's a much better version of 106.

Hope this helps.

>>148962097
a guy reviewed Delta Green Impossible Landscapes that got a ton of views (relatively)
now I'm worried it will get too popular

>>148985833
I think I got a little bit of the way into scarlet king before dropping off, I’ll try again. When Day Breaks is definitely one of the better ones, the concept is killer, the execution is mostly good (I didn’t particularly care for the stuff with one of the other SCPs showing up to fuck with the characters in the middle of the story), and the ending is good if a little perfunctory. I’ll try the last two since I hadn’t heard of them. I think I do like things more in the realm of cosmic horror which is why 3125 worked so well for me. Some of the stories it incorporated into it were also fun, like the star signals book which created a fucked up cult that spread impossibly fast.

>>148982791
You are giving Bung way too much credit. SCP became mainstream for a while. Multiple pieces of /co/ media references SCP like Primos and Little Demon. Butch Hartman, creator of the Fairly Oddparents made a video about SCP where he drew fan art. A kpop girl had a SCP poster on the wall in a music video. Control, Lobotomy Corporation and Lethal Company were inspired by SCP.

Kondraki did nothing wrong.

>>148983025
>singelhandedly
Bung did not do shit. Regalis creating Containment Breach is what put SCP in the spotlight. The internet career of Markiplier was thanks to his videos about it.

>>148981878
>safe, euclid and keter cover all the bases needed.
Not quite. Those three are
>easy to contain
>tricky to contain
>hard to contain
which would obviously cover most items of interest. But what about things that aren't contained?
>could be contained, but it's better not to
>impossible to contain, but that's fine
>impossible to contain, and that's really bad and should be fixed
And then
>used to contain other anomalous items
since that's a thing too.

Those containment classes have a reasonable rationale for existing, and the things that make use of them are naturally relatively few, so they can be a nice touch for unconventional items that qualify. Each entry only gets a single containment class unless something is secretly a different classification than the story for the plebs. It's the other stuff that adds clutter. That's what makes an entry go from "SCP NUMBER, containment class ODD WORD" to "SCP NUMBER, ODD WORD, ODD WORD, ODD WORD".

>>148985833
>"When Day Breaks"
I agree that this is good, but why would it be a contender for SCP-1? It would be the last cataloged anomaly in its universe, not the first.

>>148986842
I’m just willing to accept that in the context of the story it was so overwhelmingly fucked up they re-assigned 001 to it.

I was going to say, I don’t know if it’s my favorite 001, but it might be top 3.

>>148985920
Delta green is way too heavy in subject matter to get popular. You'd need to file it's teeth down to be nearly unrecognizable if you wanted to do that. And as properties like World of Darkness will show, it's always the long term fans you want to please.

Like one of the recently released campaign modules has your characters open up a "Pink Cartoon Cat Folder" and it contains material so fucking vile and awful (That you're advised not to go into detail on) that it justifies killing an entire daycare center's staff.

>>148986908
>Pink Cartoon Cat Folder
Veiled Elsagate reference?

>>148985276
People think park rangers in real life are covering up the cause of Missing 411. That is what that story borrows.

>>148986787
A bit wrong on what Safe, Euclid and Keter mean.
>Safe
No active containment measures needed.
>Euclid
Requires active measures to maintain containment.
>Keter
Actively degrading or defeating active containment measures or currently uncontainable while needing to be contained.

>But what about things that aren't contained?
State of containment doesn't matter. Just what needs to be done to contain whatever it is.
>could be contained, but it's better not to
Which would be Safe with focus on not letting others contain it.
>impossible to contain, but that's fine
Which would either still be Safe or not even a SCP.
>impossible to contain, and that's really bad and should be fixed
Which is Keter.

It's Non-Copyright infringing hello kitty. A fun thing about God's Teeth is that things that push the plot along are aligned with the Big Bad Force controlling entropy to eat.
There's even a whole bit where an agent can, if they want to know the true nature of the thing, book a session at CERN to try and isolate the particles it's manipulating to cause changes in probability. And if done wrong, can cause some horrid shit. Seen in the spoilered image. Lightly censored, go find a download for yourself if you're curious.

>why would it be a contender for SCP-1? It would be the last cataloged anomaly in its universe, not the first.
The Sun is "SCP-001" in the When Day Breaks scenario because the Sun breaking renders most of the another anomalies moot. In many cases the Sun's light makes many SCP object's anonalous properties, especially the living ones, inert and the fact that it's effectively ended the world has made the SCP Foundation's mission effectively defunct. SCP--001, the Sun, is the only SCP that matters now.

I read SCPs back in 2015, which is how it should be. A cool wiki of creepypasta-esque monsters with some lore attached.

You had your chance with the RCP wiki.

>>148988185
I wonder, was there a specific trigger event for its creation, or was it just a long series of smaller ones?

>>148988285
I can actually answer that since I was there for the great schism. It was when the wiki was just getting more complex CSS for individual articles. That pride month people colored the SCP wiki logo gay pride colors and that pissed people(remember this site IS a 4chan creation after all) off enough to make the RCP authority. I'm all for competition but there's a reason why no one talks about it anymore.

No we won't.

>>148987719
If you want to push it you can
But the setting states that Unnatural events are rare, and the Delta green organizations aren't very big.
This means not a lot of monsters, artifacts and events flying around, and not a lot of people actually know about the weird shit going on, and fewer know the real truth.
Also the setting is rather fatalistic, sure you can wipe our specific cuts, and Delta green did destroy most of the deep ones on land (except black cod island)Island. But they can't harm cthulhu, or the various crazy gods and species that decided to fuck with earth.

I love how Delta Green reinterprets the Elder Gods so they're not just "good Cthulhus." Bast is theoretically opposed to the Great Old Ones, but she's a barely sentient force of nature worshiped by a cult that deliberately inflicts as much harm on children as possible.

>>148990057
Oh no she's... Sentient
But not sentient in a way that's compatible with human thought. There's an entire scene where you can ask it one question. But the answers are vague.
Bast isn't unaware. They just find language to be cumbersome, and dislike modes of thought that use words.
As evidenced by the Rider (Nyarly or Hastur depending on who you ask) speaking to the characters like they *are* Bast, by virtue of being her proxy.

There are already multiple anomalies that are technically impossible to lock in a box and they're just keter because that's the class of it. What you're suggesting is adding a separate classification for relative danger should it just containment which isnt a bad thought but the haunted stretch of highway patrolled by a demonic state trooper is just keter because you can't put several miles of road into a box while shyguy is just euclid despite being able to break out of any possible box since it generally won't leave the box if you fulfill conditions

Those always fail or end going nowhere after a while. Hell, if any mock-ups or derivative projects are the ones who actually get popular. There is a reason RCP failed and Lobotomy Corporation became successful.

Anyone know of the SCP that involved ingesting a substance that gives you a euphoric feeling, but only if no one else nearby has ingested more of it than you?

It was always garbage. I mean, the concept is top tier, but instead of focusing on the creatures and the anomalies they started to create their own-self-inserts as Doctors and then wrote a shitload of lore and adventure on the side.

It was because mr metokur got upset that the scp had a gay pride logo. and made a video about it.

also its spelled RPC.

>>148993336
I think both ideas can exist. The people that orchestrate conspiracies and classified projects in real life are sometimes interesting.

>>148993353
there were also people downvote raiding an SCP because of him, and peopel got upset that voting was disabled on it

Um, anon. /lit/ would be that way.

Has anyone here watch Rookies? It is kind of a spiritual successor to Confinement.

People rightfully calling your godawful self-insert SCP isn't downvote raiding, troon.

>>148988323
>I was there for the great schism
There were like a million of schisms at that time.

>>148993401
they found out that a bunch new accounts were made just to downvote the article after his video came out.
thats separate from your view on the quality or its self insert nature.

>>148993401
if you immediately jump to accusing people of being secret troons, your opinion has little value

>>148992461
she's the queen of cats and she's doing this for fun right? she isn't also just queen of atomics or whatever?
Also what, bast made humans for this specific purpose?
Is azathoth in this and is he like the final boss of the whole game?

>>148993336
>they started to create their own-self-inserts as Doctors
wasnt that present from the very start?
>wrote a shitload of lore and adventure on the side.
Tales has always been the worst part of the site. Nobody ever reads tales

>>148993472
both of those were there from the start.

Its lead to a mess when you have that stuff come out about dr.bright's writer being a sex pest

>>148993456

They use bast's name because bast was part of the lovecraft Mythos. She has a very basic connection to egypt

It's implied it's a fundemental force of physics, like magnetism or gravity.

Biological life by existing is accelerating entropy. Bast feeds by embezzling energy from all atomic reactions
>Yes
Azazoth is in this. Yeah. You're probably not going to come face to face with it, or any other god (barring Nyarly pulling some trolling)

There's no 'final boss' There's only tomorrow, and your dwindling mental health trying to hold a secret professional life and your family together.

That really sucks, cause they had the best concept.

>>148993386
/lit/ is filled with too many pretentious ass hats to let a scp thread last long enough.

>>148993456
Bast eats entropy and entropy caused by humans is the tastiest, or something like that. She's big cat-themed. The pink cartoon cat folder is a ritual to both turn children into new Bast cultists and summon Bast.

Azathoth doesnt really make an appearance in any DG campaign afaik. Shub-Niggurath and Nyarlathotep are in other DG campaigns. Hastur/King in Yellow is also there, but he's quite different from the original story. Most of the antagonists are the smaller guys, deep ones, Mi-go, snake people, grey aliens, etc

>>148993699
Azathoth is an enemy of sorts in one of the scenarios
in that one a hadron collider is going to cast a spell (summon Azathoth) that's going to end the universe

>>148993472
>>148993482
I don't remember self-insert stuff being present from the very start. And I remember the very very start clearly, it was 173 and 232, though not whatever is currently 232.

>>148993755
It's their scp but with a more connected and prevalent internet culture. Toss any subject in zoomed places and they'll have 20 different video series that they can watch about it.

>>148953648 (OP)
It went on too long without turning into something material. It's an overgrown /tg/ world building thread. If they had made something that could serve to induct newfrens without them having to engage with the community first then it wouldn't have gotten like this. They waited too long to really do something, probably they didn't want to, and when the normalfags and psychos inevitably got wind of it they did it instead. So long as you have something pure people can fall back on then you can weather anything.
Wiki culture instead of play culture, basically. If the only way people can engage is to "contribute", then you are going to end up with people shitting out whatever just for the sake of "contributing", and shit attracts flies. You need flow from one monolithic reservoir into many different receptacles; what they had was flow from a multitude of receptacles into one big sewer.

>>148993958
You are forgetting the existence of SCP Containment Breach, the adaptation of SCP-087 alongside SCP-087-B, and SCP Secret Laboratory.

What you described here did happen with the videogames and the Youtube videos. I am not sure what point you are trying to make.

>>148994186
First video game came out in 2012, website went up in 2008, meaning the game was about 3 years too late. The animations don't serve the purpose I described. On top of being too late, game is overshadowed. The game as it's own community, from what i know, is doing fine,

Much more importantly, SCP is the website, not a game, not an animation, not an album. or anything else with a 'play culture'. It was doomed because they chose to be a collaborative writing project instead of hard pivoting to being a game (video or table top), or less realistically but equally as effective, audio and/or visual arts project.
I'm basically saying that writers are the scum of the creative earth, and they were doomed when they created the wiki.

>>148994379
Sounds like you are expecting too much from random anons on /x/.

What SCPs would you like to see in an animated series?

>>148994714
231

>>148994714
Forgot the number, but that vending machine with the ability of selling you every kind of fucked up materials and products in the universe.

>>148994714
To be 1000% honest, all Bung had to do in order to make infinite money forever was to release weekly shorts about using one of SCP 261, 294, and 914. That's it. Take user suggestions. Rotate regularly to keep it fresh. Zero dialogue needed save where wanted. You could do that for years and never stop cashing in.

I genuinely like SCP Explained even if I could understand why anyone here probably don't. But for me, the "corporate infographics" style actually fits the tone of the franchise. At least in some kind of "educational" video about the SPCs.

>>148993625
>>148993699
>>148993709
Okay so she might be a catgirl? ...whose a mischievous one?
Also mi-go are the amorphous shapeshifters right? And if grey aliens exist, does that mean alien weaponry?

can I even kill those eldritch sons of bitches with outright insanity, like maybe a Hadron Collider gun?

fuck it, can I even have sex with an eldritch?

>>148953648 (OP)
Wasn't gatekept hard enough.

>>148995115
How do you gatekeep a public domain IP?

>>148995044
>Might be a catgirl
No. Formless entity that thrives on child abuse and consumption of the eldritch. Makes a constant effort to break down human sanity and sentience.
>Migo
Kinda? They're forth dimensional crabs that like stealing brains
>Greys
They existed. But they're proxies for the migo. Flesh puppets to trick the US government
>Collider gun
I mean, there are rules for crafting weapons. But unlikely that something that extreme would be allowed without a serious drawback, depends on your DM. ANFO explosives are a thing though. Think less 'super science' and more "Ted Kazinski contraptions"

>Have sex
Shub Niggurath's cult is based around that. Don't do it. You'll die, painfully.

>>148992484
>Collaborative fiction inherently fucking sucks.
What is the Lovecraft Circle?

>>148993709
yeah that's the one where time keeps looping like an endless recurring nightmare, because Azathoth is on the verge of being woken up and zero-summing existence

>>148954322
>vaccines
anon, that was 4 years ago. the lore obsession predates that. blame creepypastas.

>>148994379
>meaning the game was about 3 years too late
As opposed to what? A game made the same year? That was never going to happen unless some ultrarich fag was one of the original SCP guys himself and financed the whole thing.

>>148995202
Derleth.

>>148995154
>>148995389
>Eldritch breaking down human snaity and sentience
crazy
>crabs stealing brains
neat
so the greys are just created by the Migo to fool the government? They're also there to represent them, whatever that means?
>ANFO
elaborate?
also the Hadron Collider gun could be possible with some sort of eldritch-induced intelligence.
>>148995389
zero summing existence, fuck is that? reality warping all of existence into some sort of surreal nightmare?

>>148996045
>zero summing existence, fuck is that? reality warping all of existence into some sort of surreal nightmare?
All of existence is a dream Azathoth is having while he sleeps. He wakes up, everything stops existing.

>>148996045
>zero summing existence, fuck is that? reality warping all of existence into some sort of surreal nightmare?

Erasure due to realizing it doesn't/cannot exist. Like forgetting a dream when you wake up. Poof, gone.

If I make a "le shadowy organization that finds and contains anomalies and hides them from the public" in my story, will it be seen as unoriginal/cliche? I think it made it have a lot of differences from the foundation, and in general the concept of such a secret agency is pretty diffused in the zeitgeist with men in black/x-files/area 51 already for it to be seen as a spin on an archetype rather than just (way overdue) trend-riding

>>148996412
I do not think you will have any problems for the reasons you already stated.

>>148996463
Well, sometimes you just gotta ask to calm your nerves.

>>148984481
There is a really funny tale about members of the SCP Foundation discovering that literally everyone on Earth is actually secretely a member, except one single guy who has been left out.

>>148996412
>in general the concept of such a secret agency is pretty diffused in the zeitgeist with men in black/x-files/area 51 already for it to be seen as a spin on an archetype rather than just (way overdue) trend-riding
It is a archetype that people will expect because that sort of thing exists. You already mentioned Area 51, but the US government regularly investigates UFOs through the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office and Project Blue Book. At some point a group will be looking into the supernatural.

>>148994099
>Anon, there was a drama over a molestable doorknob, people mostly gathered to laugh at what the wiki has become.
That was a small piece of it.

>>148996095
>>148996108
>utilizing the 'Azathoth is dreaming up all of existence" concept
mMMMMMM, not a very idea, honestly.

>>148996803
What is the problem?

>>148958986
nobody said anything about gays or trannies, anon

>>148962588
>kills two police officers named after RPC Authority community members
that kind of shit should be enough to get someone permabanned. actual middle schooler behavior, "you bullied me so I'm gonna write about my OC killing you."

>>148997694
I think now it would get you permanently banned. The wiki staff have started to take legal matters more seriously ever since the Bright scandal and Russian trademark case.

>>148986787
I can get behind "impossible to contain" warranting its own class, but I don't see why there's a need for separate classes for "and that's fine" and "and that's a problem." That's why I like the Risk Class and Disruption Class.
IMO, the only classes needed are:
- Easy to contain
- Difficult to contain
- VERY difficult to contain
- Uncontainable
And in rare cases:
- containable but we've chosen not to
And then the Risk and Disruption classes. That's it. A lot of the other classifications aren't even containment classes. I understand why they exist as labels, but they're not classes.

>>148997592
It's the idea ever.

>>148982791
Yeah, that guy really had talent. A shame he caught the tranny cognitohazard.

>>148974133
I haven't used the site much, but I know at least one of the founders is a tranny. What happened with TCRF?

Haven't they actively gone down and rewritten a bunch of the old SCPs to be "Modern"? Just straight up censored or changed shit they didn't like because it's NO-NO BADTHINK like the Succubus one

>>148998843
Clef authorized the rewrite of the teenage succubus, but there have been no actual censorship. A few early SCPs only got rewritten because a disgruntled author threatened to sue the wiki if they did not delete their shit.

>>148999011
>A few early SCPs only got rewritten because a disgruntled author threatened to sue the wiki if they did not delete their shit.

>>148999011
Well, that sounds gay and stupid. I also heard there were SCPS that were like
>le monster creates by how evil rightwingers are

>>148958865
Statistically this comic would only be true if 2/5 had the thought bubble. Lack of an internal monologue, can't rotate the apple, etc.

>>148953648 (OP)
my take: SCP died a natural internet death. nothing went particularly wrong.

> wiki was already saturated 7 or 8 years ago. both in terms of content (shit people make) and attention (people looking at it)
> all simple stories that don't require top-down narrative direction have been explored.
> vast majority of nerds only need to read ~100 best SCPs to have their fill. most moved onto newer or better things.
> a few stay for the community/their own therapy and not for the actual story.
> remaining stories go for overly complex/cringey because those are the only holes left to fill

I think SCP's limbo state is pretty typical: after a few generation, there's a dead story universe and undead fandom.

> nothing went particularly wrong compared to other internet story fandoms

>>148999406
Politely beseeching any slavbros here to provide transcripts.

Remember that Dr. Bright's writer was outed as a pedophile.

>>148999336
yup. it's also rare to find writers with the ability to evolve a good idea into a great story, who are not already doing so with their own writing.

>>148999192
I'll go one level further. SCP's core premise is an evolutionary dead-end. Good enough for internet fanfiction but not unique (or incompatible) enough to survive permutations and generations of culture and shifting interest.

Like, government spooks containing paranormal phenomea can and has already been subsumed into stories, like the mainstream "Cabin in the Woods". Fiddle with the keter/euclid ratings and change the format to TV and the SCP concept just becomes a label.

No, only one got raped. And its her aborted rape baby haunts the school.

>>149000668
Same shit, different stink.

All this about Bright being a pedophile, is there any substance to it? Did he get caught with cheese pizza or did he just express interest in a 19-year old woman a few years his junior?

I remember reading this SCP where it's some big titty demon fox woman and thinking wow, nice yiff art.
And then they made a backstory where it turns out it's a tranny with an evil bigot of a father who somehow was able to transform at will into a perfect form of a woman.
It really is just all a form of wish fulfillment for the authors.
