Hey guys, just found you! Thanks for moving my one big contribution here for me, saved me a heap of trouble!
I always thought this was pretty damn interesting.
"Personnel found to have turned down a volunteer request are to be terminated immediately" lolwut
I assume this is just one of the foundation's many quirks
That said, good job, this one is creepy and entirely unique.
It's done. All I did was remove the italicisation and alignment thingies, so it's an easy revert if for some reason kids dislike the change.
One little nitpick: 22 g would certainly pin someone unprepared to the ground, but if the bunker is in geographically stable area, would it really cause earthquakes? I think it wouldn't, unless the thing started jerking its field around to shake the area, not just 'attract' stuff.
Also, if it pins people to the floor, I assume it just intensifies the local ambient gravity, and not generate its own, which would plaster its surface with the 'offenders'.
I don't like this one, that I can't really pinpoint why. I think part of it is the "give the attendants whatever they want" aspect, but that's not all of it.
Also, shouldn't the Keter warning symbol be removed? The image links to the hazard warnings are broken also (I think that the hazard warnings have been entirely removed from the site, in fact).
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
I'm sorry but a nigh unstoppable destructive force which is only kept from being destructive if you give it exactly what it wants via castrated virgins? Really? Was the original concept to write something that was as difficult as possible to contain for no apparent reason and too dangerous to get rid of? I wouldn't have such a problem with it if there was even a speculated reason for all this. Some idea why they have to be virgins. Some hypothesis as to why it hates sex. Something. Instead it is just inexplicably prudish. I also wouldn't mind if the requirements for care weren't absurd. I mean what this needs is for someone to take a kid and surgically remove their gonads just to care for a ball that will screw their brains up. It seems needlessly cruel and difficult. As though it was written just to be difficult to "care for."
I know this is old and well-loved, but I just can't like it.
I hate you, Sex-Hating Sphere. Sorry.
While normally I'm not too worried about mediocre articles hanging around, this one may actually act as a hazard. This was one of the first articles I encountered, probably due to its age and low number (as well I think I was linked from another popular article), and in my newbishness I assumed it was a good article, due to its apparent good standing (I can't remember where I got the idea that it was in good standing, but I remember I thought it was in good standing).
At one point (specifically, a year ago), this was at +10.
Standards change.
This is one that is referenced in several places -
- Adult Section Problematic Scps (adult-section-problematic-scps)
- Bijhan (bijhan)
- Groups Of Interest (groups-of-interest)
- I.215.02 (i-215-02)
- SCP-071 (scp-071)
- SCP Series (scp-series)
- Secure Facilities Locations (secure-facilities-locations)
Haven't looked up what the links are about - Staff might want to think about -ARCing it…
- "SCPs that you can't write porn about (and why)"
- Bijhan wrote it
- Bijhan wrote lots of stuff about the IRG (he's Iranian, he wrote an Iranian Group of Interest), and the capsule on the Iranian GoI includes this one
- incident report that might be worth saving, or might not
- 071 is something that fucks with sexuality, so maybe it'll be useful for containing 112
- the big list
- the list of all special sites where SCPs are contained, including the one where this one is.
Not that impressive.
