This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-6292.
the entire rest of this article exists to justify putting this fucking log on the mainlist
… +1
And it was absolutely worth it
Remind me to have a bottle of fine whisky ready on my deathbed
If 6292 can be arrested and thus contained, is Enochian really applicable? Archon seems like a better fit - it can theoretically be contained, but it's considered inadvisable for whatever reason.
Anyways while this is better than the first draft, I don't really find this all that funny.
Yea same. Like, the scip is cute and all but it doesn't do much for me.

if they arrested it death would not do its job and people wouldn't die. so they can't really contain it
Enochian — Item /cannot/ be contained (because it's a property of baseline reality and getting rid of it would cease reality from being able to function properly)
Archon — Item can, but /should not/ be contained (because containing it would be detrimental)
A universe without death is still a functional version of reality, so i'd lean toward archon, but ultimately it's kinda headcanon-y WRT how you think the Foundation views those scenarios and whether Enochian corresponds explicitly to 'baseline' ie. the 'correct' version of reality
Yes, but they CAN arrest it. It’d be catastrophically stupid, but it is possible. Sounds more Archon to me. Heck, even in the description of the class:
Archon SCPs may be a part of consensus reality that is difficult to fully contain or may have adverse effects if put into containment.
That describes this one exactly.
I was somewhat dissatisfied with the beginning. The Special Containment procedures and description of the entity made sense, but they were worded very awkwardly (sorry I know awkward is kind of a vague term), which didn’t fair well for the fluency of the article after having to re-read brief segments multiple times, (this may very well just be because I am a bad reader though.) But oh my goodness, this is some of the most entertaining SCP dialogue I have ever seen. The characters seemed so real! And I love your humane twist on the grim reaper. Having him drunk in his introduction really characterized him as less if a stoic figure, which added to this article’s uniqueness. Personally I think this article could still use some tweaking, and I’d also love to see some more interactions involving this SCP so making it a little lengthier would be nice. But overall, great job. Keep it up 👍
Ya know, I was gonna downvote this until I got to:
SCP-6292: Are you fucking my balls here? <hik> Do you know how much shit I have to deal with so that you can prop—
MANAGER: Either you leave, or I call the police and have them escort you into a prison cell.
SCP-6292: This is just like 1984 by <hik> by Stephen King.
*snorts*
That genuinely got me to laugh out loud.

this is just like george orwell's famous novel "pet sematary"
I can't wait to reference this article to a new user on the forums, just for them to come read it and be so fucking confused as to why I used this reference professionally.
Yet another +1
Even though this is on the mainlist, given its structure I'm more or less judging it by -J standards which means if I laughed I upvoted, and if not I downvoted. Unfortunately, while I see where the jokes are supposed to be, they didn't land for me.
Which is kind of disappointing because I really love "death drunkenly lamenting about how much is sucks to be death" as a concept. But the thing is, this only really scratches the surface level of it. You tell us "it sucks to be death" but you never show us why it sucks to be death. Yeah, there's a one-off comment about the reasoning and things he has to do here and there but ultimately the log builds to a joke that is thematically dissonant from the rest of the article. There's something to be said for a short article in this day and age on the site, but I still think this could've slowed down at least a little bit to let us live with this character rather than speed run that last punchline.
