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

[Furret]

Has anyone asked about the lack of transparency with the legal fund spending yet?

Someone asked about the legal fund, which you can read here, but transparency doesn't seem like something that the posters are very concerned about.

 

[BurnerPhone]

I hope these town halls don't worsen SCP's staff burnout problem. I don't think they can handle another meltdown.

 

[Liquid Marlon]

You would think both of these were jokes but I'm not too sure if SCP-4335 is. (5167 might not be one as well cuz it doesn't have a "-J" at the end of it lel)

It's a kinda interesting idea with it being like a origin point for the Endermen but it still is a pretty silly idea, I think it might have been made before the end which would make it alot more interesting but I'm not too sure.

But SCP-5167 takes the idea of a spooky monster in the game and doesn't do anything interesting with it, thankful it's short but I have no idea how it's even on the real Wiki cuz I thought it was just something retard that TheVolgun did.

It's because SCP is just creepypasta wiki 2.0. We're at the Sonic.exe stage of SCP's life span.

Well the 6k contest is here. Something about the quickly decreasing scarcity of these makes this go around particularly flat and unexciting for me personally.

SCP staff have decided to try and make the spread more fair by randomizing the order of the entries on the contest page. I guess that’s nice.

But, decided to look at some of them and give some snarky commentary, as is tradition here. This shouldn’t be taken as legit criticism, I am just skimming really:

Spoiler

SCP-6000 - The White Ashes - SCP Foundation

scp-wiki.wikidot.com

Right off the bat, this one borrows heavily from 4000, with the green text that can’t refer directly to a location. We see an O5 council again filled with names of common scp authors. The nepotism and sycophantic flattery is as strong as ever.

No one is more exalted though than Dr Bright, still a hastily welcomed and celebrated figure in the canon it seems. The return in upvotes must be worth the moral collateral.

In this article, Dr Bright is a sole survivor in an apocalyptic ritual gone wrong, and is the shadow leader of the rest of the world. Hm.

———

In looking at all these, I’m not sure what the hell happened but in-article pictures on mobile are too small to be meaningful now. Was that an official format change or something? They used to be separate and sequential with the text for this reason.

SCP-6000 - Beacon - SCP Foundation

scp-wiki.wikidot.com

This one isn’t bad. Aesthetics are clean too.

———

SCP-6000 - SCP Author Cerastes's Untitled SCP-6000 Contest Entry - SCP Foundation

scp-wiki.wikidot.com

A mystery; what is causing an increase in the number and OMGZ badass Mary Sue like powers of the anomalies? Keters everywhere.

Well that’s an easy one: more shitty scp writers.

No? Oh ok.

What if the Foundation is a sort of irritant that increases the severity and frequency of the anomalous itself? What do the O5 council do? Drink and dissolve the Foundation.

So we end with an absolutely vomit-inducing cringe meta move:

http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/6000contestcerastes/offset/1

Barf.

SCP-6000 - Wanderlust - SCP Foundation

scp-wiki.wikidot.com

Not bad. A huge Venus flytrap mechanism that preys on people’s desire to travel. It’s no slight that this uses the name of Fishmonger’s old infamous works. I don’t think that helps buoy the work.

I can’t see this one winning, just doesn’t have that it factor. This is Kirby so it is of course competent. But because its Kirby and not in the lead, you can be sure he is letting that get to him. Heh heh. There are always things to enjoy.

———

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/6000contesttrutherford

There it is. A first-person-narrated novel, internal monologues and all, pitched as an scp document. Was wondering when the writing would be unpegged from the format, the standards taken as something that’s just holding the gushing creativity back.

———

SCP-6000 - Theseus - SCP Foundation

scp-wiki.wikidot.com

This one has great self-awareness of the SCP community itself:

“ But you don't suddenly take control of something as large and complex as The Foundation. You have to do it piece by piece. You replace some people here, you reclassify some anomalies there. You give them a sense of security and then you just never let them leave. And over time, the people who remember what life was like before these changes disappear and you've created a new normal... Managing a relationship with a community is much, much easier when one group holds all the control. People are more manageable when demonized.“

Surprised it is doing as well as it is given the meta-messaging.

SCP-6000 - the joke is sex - SCP Foundation

scp-wiki.wikidot.com

The “sexual health” community of scp is as unapologetic and unrelenting as ever (now with TWO content warnings!... super mature). Currently one of the head of the pack. If this is selected as 6k I think it’s safe to say all decorum has been thrown out the window and let’s just classify it as a smut site with a containment fiction flare.

“SCP-6000 is the designation for a thaumaturgic biological process which occurs during ejaculation.”

It’s also sad to see the ability of articles to do well based solely on their css themes. Which is spiffy here.

The article takes a familiar turn when after its indulging of sexual detail, it pulls out an asexual sentiment on ya. (“Sex is a joke. And we are the punchline.”) Fittingly, this mirrors the default defense of the roving sexual predators in the culture, thrown in as an absolving punctuation mark to a questionable subject matter. (See Uncle Nicolini for more info.)

SCP-6000 - Inevitable - SCP Foundation

scp-wiki.wikidot.com

Seems as though Shaggy and a crew are back with a vengeance, their gargantuan SCP-5999 not quiiiite elaborate enough. The article proper “ends” with a choose-your-own-adventure series of tales with the classic Warrior/Mage/Theif straight outta Skyrim.

There’s no way in hell I am reading all of this. Even if it wins. Just tell me the gist and if it is as good as its production value.

I guess visuals are the future of SCP. I am beyond caring what direction the site takes and if it is a good thing.

SCP-6000 - Endlessly Fucking Space - SCP Foundation

scp-wiki.wikidot.com

Solid SCP article, try-hard title that leaves a bad taste.

———

All I can do for now. Just too many damn entries. But the general trick to contending seems to be to have a spiffy css theme.

Edit: I wanted to add this one:

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/6000contestyurt/

Looks as though the pupil may become the master, if this wins. Master of what? I’ll leave that for the reader to decide.

But in addition to that, the inclusion of “yurt” in the page url could be seen as open mockery of recent contents in this thread.

On the subject of Yurt, it is worth noting the compositional mimicry here too. The stylistic choices of Rounderhouse and djkaktus are so similar, that I wouldn’t be surprised to learn they are the same person. (I’m not saying they are.) This is down to the word usage. A hallmark of djkaktus’ descriptions is the word “massive”. It’s always “massive”. I’d hyperbolize and say half of djkaktus’ articles have “massive” in the opening lines of the description. (That and his early articles, including his first 001, nearly all mention children in some form or fashion, but that’s neither here nor there. One might have expected an article about “a massive child”, but alas.) Rounderhouse does this maybe subconsciously, but he uses it in this entry too. Yurt indeed.

guy literally made an alt, submitted to the 3000 (or 4000?) contest, and pretended it was his girlfriend. i wouldnt doubt it actually. rounder's whole persona and the multitude of his ego are very similar to kaktus'.

 

[ToS]

I think it is a fanfic that grew sideways into the scp format. Looks good though.

If Rounder isn’t a kaktus alt, it’s a good impersonation. A mini me. This is like the mini me holding the leash, the tail wagging the dog.

 

[Capsaicin Addict]

I went through the 6000 entries thus far and yeah, a number of them blur the line between 'tale' and 'SCP' as has been commented on before in this thread.

A few are kind of interesting, for what it's worth.

[Punished “Venom” pH]

If Rounder isn’t a kaktus alt, it’s a good impersonation. A mini me. This is like the mini me holding the leash, the tail wagging the dog.

Rounder definitely isn’t an alt, the influence comes from how closely tied together kaktus and Rounder became in the Yurt server. Kaktus needed the server to have influence again after he flailed out of his moderator and Reddit mod official positions, and Rounder needed the mentor to follow in the footsteps of. It’s sad that this child spent some of his formative years following a malignant narcissist. If they ever get pressured to release the #fuck logs from the Yurt you could probably track the descent into power-mongering just from their interactions barring everything else that would be revealed.

Jfc it's been what? Like 3 years since this shit happened and they still couldn't let it go?

If an author deleted their work despite being highly rated the least courtesy you could do is respect the damn wish to remove their works from your shitscape of a site.

what an autistic fixation these anomalous writer communities have for someone trying to appear holier-than-thou and preaching about author autonomy.

It’s worse than that; it has been 11 years.

Edit: I’ll retract all my previous statements on this. Turns out this was a lone actor, and the page is going to be deleted by international staff.

I read some of the logs. Found the real reason why he is banned:

[05:43:07] <JustUsWill> Socialized medicine is about as far as I'll go with socialism/communism
[05:43:11] <JustUsWill> anything beyond that is theft
[05:43:22] <MacMobile> ...no buddy, profit is theft.
[05:43:33] <JustUsWill> "profit is theft"
[05:43:37] <MacMobile> Human civilization is built on us taking care of each other.
[05:43:58] <JustUsWill> Wow, way to sum up that I don't want to talk to you anymore in one sentence. Very efficient, wish more people were that upfront about their disabilities
[05:44:15] <DrGolden> Well anyway
[05:44:18] <DrGolden> That was a great read
[05:44:21] <Calibri_Bold> Is no one gonna talk about how this guy’s other take is “monarchy is a valid governmental structure”
[05:44:32] <fairydoctor> ^^
[05:44:34] <JustUsWill> Human civilization is built on conflict, competition, and murder and anyone saying anything different has never opened a history book
[05:44:34] <DrGolden> Calibri_Bold WHOMST?

This is why RPC exists. SCP has a mental disease.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to care about the new big events/articles on the wiki, and I've barely read any of the 6000 entries, but I clicked on this entry on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by its quality. It's very short but still manages to be impactful. To me, it's reminiscent of the best of the early days of SCP, and I would definitely recommend reading it. Even if you end up hating it, it's still only like a five minute read.

Well, you shouldn't have said anything because they're going to secretly disqualify it just to spite us now.

Not that they'd elect anything with less than 10,000 words to it.

“The original will be up on RPC soon enough. SCP doesn't deserve it, even as waybacked”
based?

i normally detest slot sniping but tbh i just really wanted to i have a skip in every series and series 2 was the only one i was missing

sure thing bro. You really dont need to make up humblebrag stories, rounder, nobody’s fooled even if they pretend they are

 

[ToS]

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to care about the new big events/articles on the wiki, and I've barely read any of the 6000 entries,

I’m asking myself “Have the entries always been this bad? Have I been too engaged to know it?”

Even given the theme, there is a lot of repetition: transmutation is big — here people turn into crabs and over there people turn into cockroaches, there it’s into plants; at least 7 entries are about a tree or trees; at least 4 entries are about a mysterious obelisk, usually with cryptic carvings or glyphs; at least 4 articles use the green text reference to SCP-4000; one article rehashes the same css theme as SCP-5999; even a rehash of SCP-3000 is here with a big serpent entry; so many of them use the same references to big-name authors as personnel, self-inserts are still alive (I saw one as a site director or something); and of course the Level 5 restricted and memetic kill agents and O5 vote tally boxes are ever-present. DrBleep again wrote about “Orkney”, something goofy-sounding in his 4000 entry. I dunno. Homage is one thing.

Even this one, which I was excited to read due to its brevity and was encouraged to see is in the running, is a makeover of the Lily 001 (imminent end of world + soothing effect). I also take this to be further evidence that SCP has officially flipped its magnetic field to where feel-good, comforting, pseudo-therapy style articles are the forte. From a horror site to a hug box.

Spoiler: in-universe trigger warning

But the big take away is that the use of css themes has officially gotten out of hand. Seriously, just click through these. There’s a new one every other entry. I blame SCP-5999. One theme turns the SCP logo into a cartoon clipart-style spider. I thought it was going to be a -J.

I’m really fond of this one so far. Haven’t read it all yet though.

I’m proud of Zyn for entering, and am happy she didn’t use a custom, plant-based CSS theme.

Also “Itty Titty” is pretty great. archive

(Hey wow, djkaktus’ 1-year long entry uses “colossal” instead of “massive” in the description this time. Good synonym. Guess he’s evolving, or trying to differentiate himself from his mini me’s.)

 

[Pope Negro Joe the XIIIth]

transmutation is big — here people turn into crabs and over there people turn into cockroaches, there it’s into plants

1) Troon metaphors

at least 7 entries are about a tree or trees;

2) Greta Thunberg influence

at least 4 entries are about a mysterious obelisk, usually with cryptic carvings or glyphs

3) Mysterious obelisks (possibly in a desert). Now why does that sound familiar?

Good lord SPC, the cancer is worse than I thought.
