SCP Foundation - Creepypasta with roid rage - now ITT: SCP fans

[Furret]

I don't remember what his Twitter handle is, but he's still as toxic and angry about being banned as he was the day he was banned(Which was literal years ago) on Twitter. I pity him a little, because I understand what it's like to be addicted to that place, but he's on an entirely different level.

Found it (archive).

Reading through his posts, I can once again confirm that everything he posts that isn't just a retweet(And some that are) is either somehow acting vaguely dismissive/superior, or bitching and moaning.

Edit: Now and then there seems to be a non-complainy post, but it's few and far between.

@pixelatedharmony Question: During the whole Metaphysician fiasco how much of the decision to ban them was based on actual rule-breaking behavior and how much of it was just staff looking for an excuse to get rid of them?

100% driven by Kaktus and I with the ss and Yurt both separately egging us on as Caro cherry-picked examples and we brainstormed what was going on. It was Nico who asked me to check and I found the source materials and we basically decided that was plagiarism and doubled down on that decision anytime it came up that this whole thing was horseshit which did come up more than once.

I have apologized to Metaphysician personally for my involvement, the SS and the Yurt did ‘em dirty.

Kaktus and I also pushed hard for his removal the first time this “plagiarism” came up a few years ago and then retroactively used that to justify the ban because he “already got away with it once”.

I was mostly caught up in the excitement but I am sure Kaktus felt like Meta’s following made his dick feel small or whatever. You can’t upvote djkaktus if Meta has all the attention with actual thought-provoking content.

You know how he is. Meta probably hurt his ego while complaining one time and he just never let it go. That's how it is with a lot of the people that Kaktus treats like shit.

That’s how I got mild beef with Woed, for daring to suggest that members of the French branch have a right to dislike and downvote black highlighter and ACS if they feel like it. After that I wasn’t invited to be a part of the CSS conversation. Especially because this was after I served my purpose for him of image rehabilitation by turning nuSCP into Dust Jacket. Loyalty among thieves amirite?

Today I found out Rogette is writing for RPC. (It's about as good as you'd expect. 2/5)

edit: View attachment 1977213
Hate to break it to you Rogie, but this type of behavior won't do you any favors on RPC. You won't be coddled and validated like in SCP, you will be rightfully labelled as a sperg. Instead of making comments like this maybe try and be more humble.

Roget, please, I'm begging you to take at least one creative writing class in your life, if only to grasp the fundamentals of prose. You write like a 17th century bard on meth. 10 years on SCP did you no good and only reinforced your bad habits.

The ACS is the single unholiest and ugliest thing I have seen on the internet since the Homestead .gif collection pages from the early 90’s. As a group of competent web designers, they should be ashamed of themselves. No one asked for it, they shoved it down the NPC’s throats until they monkey saw and monkey did.

I feel very sorry for anyone who would be a part of SCP as a way to better their writing.

Writing for SCP helps you get better at writing SCP articles, and not much else. There's actually a decent guide on style by Hippo, but most of the people on the wiki who write good prose didn't learn the craft on the wiki itself.

You know, this made me realize why so many of the Modern SCPs are godawful. They're not memorable in the least. When I say the phrase "SCP Foundation", what are the first SCPs that come to mind? 173, 682, 049 (before the rewrite). It's mostly because they're both simple in concept and have an interesting premise. Nobody's gonna think of Orange Man Bad: The SCP or whatever when they hear the phrase "SCP Foundation", and that's really why it went down the shitter. I won't call myself a "professional writer", but holy fucking shit somebody get these guys a can of reality check.

Edit: To add on to my statement, some rare exceptions to this rule are skips that are memorable for all the wrong reasons. You don't look at the Among Us SCP and think "oh hey that's a neat skip, some god begging to not be forgotten in a beloved online game", you think "oh hey it's the Among Us SCP.". If your skip can only be defined as the "(Blank) SCP" when it comes to mind then you're doing something wrong.

Take SCP-3008 for example, I can say "you can't get out from this IKEA and every night their employees will hunt you to death" and people will be interested in it, compared to long-ass article like 5000. Don't even mention The Way It Ends, Kaktus should've wrote a fucking novel instead.

I disagree.

Optimistic thinking. Kaktus sticks to the wiki like a child sticks to his mommy. He knows the second he steps out into the real world, he’ll be torn limb from limb.

 

[Valstrax]

Oh? Never really heard of that one.

 

[Furret]

Oh? Never really heard of that one.

The short version is that Kaktus wrote a novella about the O5s and some other stuff. I've read the entire thing and it's not that bad, but it's so goddamn long and it didn't need to be. It could have been the length of an average Kaktus article and it would have been better for it.

Apologies for the double-post, but I went through Roget/Harmony's logs of #nuscp, the IRC chat dedicated to developing the CSS theme of the same name, and I found an interesting quote:

22:23:33: <Woedenaz> I gotta say, part of why even thinking of being part of the tech team terrifies me is just how so many things would be required to go through committee
22:24:05: <Woedenaz> I'm used to just jumping in, making changes myself, and going about my day
22:24:22: <Woedenaz> My bosses have enough trust in me that I don't have to pass everything by them every time I do it

Woedenaz has the technical know-how to be staff and have his ideas officially implemented, but he doesn't like the idea of having to run all his changes by people with more authority than him, so instead he's doing this. I wonder why.

Does anybody remember a handwritten note addendum trend? I haven't read SCP regularly in years but many articles were using it at some point iirc and it became overdone quick.

Edit: I think it happened between the site obsessing over the "story" in articles and making every new one a novel. But like I said it's been years.

The note at the end is used a lot by newer authors as a way of easily delivering exposition or an explanation for why things are happening in an article, but it's so easy that it feels cheap, and the writing guides actively recommend not doing it.

Was gonna say that, most of the time it felt like an afterthought and a bad attempt at mystery.

IIRC The Exploring Series did a three and half hour long video on all four tales, you should probably check it out

Just another dumb one for the pile. For some reason I thought Roget wrote this and was about to say you're so bad but it needs to be said anyway. Seriously, listen to the burner phone and take a writing class.

And late but I doubt even feet niggers would like your goblin feet @that thread you made for attention.

Also, are you still self-voting? I know someone chewed you out for that when you were new to SCP.

Edit: Yeah, I did go MATI there.

At some point, self-upvoting stopped being viewed as poor form by most authors, and now a lot of people do it. I wonder why that happened.

Because they grew that hungry for those precious upvotes.
