Now Task Forces have their own page, and like the Secure Facilities page, it is unlocked and editable by anyone. Yes, that means that anyone can add their own Task Force. It also means that Staff are free to cut out any entries that are not up to par. If you do add a task force, please make sure that it is interesting, not redundant, and not stupid.

Dexanote 17 Nov 2011 16:16

Added the dudes from 746. I like this.

God help you if you cut Lambda-2.

Quikngruvn 17 Nov 2011 16:24

Heh. I will not be the one to cut it.

Also, forgot to mention earlier, when adding task forces, please use Greek alphabetical order:

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega.

The team name sounds like a crappy action flick that I wouldn't get caught dead watching, but want to anyway.

DrClef 17 Nov 2011 16:32

I made two changes:

Hot Zone Dancers: "SWAT Tactics" is like "PIN Number" or "ATM Machine." Redundancy removed.

Omega 7: No longer exists according to the revised 076 article, but I chose to strikethrough instead of delete it for nostalgia's sake.

ChazzK 17 Nov 2011 16:40

Question: can a TF be added if one has plans for them that have not yet been implemented on the site? (Such as, say, used as part of a story and/or series one might be in the process of writing?)

Bland 17 Nov 2011 19:11

I would think it best to wait until you put up the article first and you should probably wait to put up the MTF.

Edit: Translated from time-traveler.

Has Psi-8 ("The Silencers") been used anywhere? I did a quick search for it and came up empty-handed. The concept sounds delightfully creepy, with some very alarming implications.

Dexanote 17 Nov 2011 17:14

Is that a pun?

spikebrennan 17 Nov 2011 17:51

We need MTFs with task force nicknames like:

• "Say Hello To My Little Particle Accelerator"
• "Keter? I Hardly Know Her"

Ooooh, Squamous. That's one of my favorite words. Maybe that one has something to do with 682?

Scruffy 17 Nov 2011 22:49

For whatever reason, that list strongly reminds me of ship names from the Iain Banks Culture universe of novels.

Scantron 18 Nov 2011 00:58

Someone has to use "Carrion My Wayward Son", "Enjoy your Ban" and "If We Knew What Was Going On, We Wouldn't Be Here".

Sensei Le Roof 18 Nov 2011 20:04

Deployed "Apis Ex Machina". Task force was bees.

Tadeusz 18 Nov 2011 00:07

reminds me of abunch of T.V trope pages.

Bland 18 Nov 2011 03:36

So, the eventual labcoat with the Foundation logo on the pocket should have an "MTF $\Lambda$-2 Support Crew" patch…

Lumancer 18 Nov 2011 04:34

I'm almost tempted to add the "Merry Antoinettes"…

AgentWilson 21 Nov 2011 14:59

minmin 18 Nov 2011 04:53

That reminds me, I have a shark-based SCP in my sandbox. Who's up for MTF Alpha-1, "Shark Punchers"?

AgentWilson 21 Nov 2011 14:46

Voting yes on this.

DrClef 18 Nov 2011 20:19

Okay. I am going to say this once and only once, so listen well.

I am fucking sick and tired of this stupid fucking sharks and bees thing. This was funny once, twice, even three times. It got old around the hundredth. It has now passed beyond old into ancient. This joke is so fucking old that archaeologists dig for it through the strata of unfunny and nonhumorous, wrap it in plastic, and then take it to joke museums for people to marvel at and wonder how people ever even found this funny. The joke is so fucking lame that it makes Joe Theismann's leg after being sacked by Lawrence Taylor look like a stubbed toe.

So to the next fucking person to try another "lol sharks, lol bees," joke, I say to you, "YOU ARE NOT FUNNY OR CLEVER, PLEASE KILL YOURSELF."

That is all.

ChazzK 18 Nov 2011 20:52

But… How do you really feel about it?

Sorts 18 Nov 2011 21:22

I respect Clef for his opinion, in fact I applaud him for making it. One of the greatest dangers is falling into routine and using references to past hilarity in the place of actually being clever may seem like social bonding, but its really more like some sort of slow, ugly de-evolution where society regresses into something akin to a flock of honking geese telling Chuck Norris jokes and putting Flying Spaghetti Monster decals on their bumpers while wearing Guy Fawkes masks and posting memes on 4chan with iPhones purchased by their parents before doing an essay on it at Know Your Meme.

Let's not be those guys.

But with God as my witness, bees will always be funny.

proof

Pig_catapult 18 Nov 2011 23:50

+1 on all counts.

AgentWilson 21 Nov 2011 14:53

+1, and have a Pizza Trophy.

Salman Corbette 18 Nov 2011 22:25

Memo to all site members: Next time you are bothered by bees or sharks, consult an alchemist.

DrBright 19 Nov 2011 08:59

What about the Shabees? or the Beearks?

minmin 19 Nov 2011 12:44

But I was just going to add in Theta-13 "Shark Punchers" from the shark laser SCP…

AgentWilson 21 Nov 2011 14:52

This is why memetics are so dangerous. If you start a meme on the SCP Forums, Clef will cut you.
