This was very fun to write despite the fact that Ore stopped me from posting the article with a 10-page long technical analysis on the concept of Luck, and Epistemology.

As Ore has been sequestered by his work, it fell upon me the duty of posting our monstrosity article to the wiki.

Feedback is greatly appreciated as always.

Requested slots:

1. 7777 — lucky number for the goddess of luck;
2. 7400 — following the tradition since we got the SCP-5400 slot;
3. 7007 — palindrome numbers are pretty;
4. 7654 — funny;
5. 7001 — why not;

More slots:

1. 7150
2. 7250
3. 7555
4. 7575
5. 7650
6. 7755
7. 7878
8. 7979

God this was so fucking funny. While I'm not a fan of playing so straightforward "Gods are a thing", the containment efforts and Tyche hating so much on Fortuna were hilarious.

One small thing.

**Tyche remains silent for several seconds, avoiding Capt. Silva's gaze.//

You may want to fix this.

Much appreciated.

This is a very funny 7k. The way that each scene with Tyche has an actually good set up and punchline, the way that Tyche just has this unbridled hate towards Fortuna, the way that Tyche canonically is a gacha addict, it all really unites the piece together. It is both really sad and really funny to see Tyche like this, and the humour continues even in the footnotes. It's a more humorous take on 4453, imo, but it does stick the landing. Overall, although the premise of this 7k is definitely one would go to when you see the prompt, it still manages to flesh out Tyche and make the situation around her both funny and pitiable. +1

Loved the humor throughout the article, especially the punch line at the end.

I like the anomaly itself, but I think the article needs a couple more editing passes once the contest is done. It's not incomprehensible by any means, but the phrasing is often rather awkward to read. I'm guessing the author isn't a native English speaker though, so I'm willing to cut a little slack and +1 anyway.

#38, +1

First of all, a heads-up: the voting module really just doesn't look good with this theme.

To the article itself: this has a lot of very funny bits. The Greek gods' court trials and WiFi jokes killed me and the overall concept of a luck thief is a very fun one. I also would like to note how well you used a concept I normally do not like (in-universe Foundation branches) in a way that feels very natural and just logical for this piece. However, I think the description is a little too dense at times and could use to be more straightforward and less needlessly complicated but it still works well enough for an upvote. I do think some of the dialogue and clinical tone (especially the use of "object" in the conprocs, which just feels… weird) could use a little bit more work, but it was still an enjoyable ride. Fun!

I agree that a combination of awkward phrasing and dense terminology really made the first part hard to understand, and I probably would have downvoted, that said the interview was what made it work for me, the down-on-her-luck goddess was an amusing character to get to know.

Echoing this.

I agree that the terminology and manner in which this piece is written is a tad too much at times. That being said, the content of the piece was really fun. I've always loved the concept of deities being faced with the current times, and this piece accomplishes that really well. The dialogue and overall humor of the piece work great. There's also a lot of that INT content I love so much.

So yeah, really liked this one. +1

I Like this. IT has heart and does a good job of painting a picture of the events. I do think some of the more technical language could be toned down at times, and that the interview could do with slightly more professional tone here and there, but overall, I really enjoyed reading this, +1

Dr Braz 03 Aug 2022 15:25

I like It! It does, however, lack that misterious "triple-0" feeling, so i'll hold my vote until after the contest, but one thing that i loved and hope more main-list articles do is the integration of the different language branches as actual in-universe branches of the Foundation, which has so much potential and frankly makes It all the more believable, If you ask me. Anyway, good article! Congrats!
