This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-7890.
This is interesting but ultimately tries to be both PANDORA's serious investigation with humor throughout in the first half and Vaishnavastra's characteristic weirdness in the second half without realizing they don't mesh too well together. It's still good though because it plays Third Law's classic bizzare plot played straight with very serious implications in a very good way and also the last log is quite fun to get through. So yeah, it's alright, was fun to read, and didn't feel like a slog to get through at all, but I really think it could use some work to streamline the two halves into a more coherent whole.
As I said in the review, I think this is a fun little article with a creative take on the old "Unmovable Object vs Unstoppable Force" addage.
I do think you start to drag on just a bit as we reach the end, with us requiring many logs of buildup before the final showdown, but that left turn there is pretty great all the same.
+1.
This is reeeeeally close, in my opinion, to not being an SCP, as it seems like the cartel is using a collection of items. However, the ending is just too juicy to downvote. I also really enjoyed the humor injected, especially the ankle-biting decapitated head and the shrug after throwing the clip in desperation.
For the record, I would have enjoyed this as much, if not more, as a tale, and Anomalous Cartel seems like it would be a worthy GoI to explore further. However, those aren't reasons to downvote. If this doesn't win, however, I would very much encourage the author to consider these as options.
I love how bizarre and over-the-top this piece was from beginning to end. It really showcasts the more unrestrictedly anomalous side of SCP. It has that humor that is very reminiscent of other 3L pieces.
One thing tho: The spanish should prolly be 'Es eso un mono en una chaqueta?'. Still sounds weird, but it's more accurate.
Anyhow, point is: I liked this! +1
This was strange, comedic and action pacted. I loved the hilarious series of events and the punchline. Even though it had sparce characterization it really didnt need any the article still does what it set out to do well. Action is awesome.

" He screams and is spaghettified…" Oh what a line, and a perfect example of the mindless fun this article presents. The basic narrative isn't intrinsically interesting by its own right, but the build up has enough technobable and craziness in it too keep interest high up until the Video Log, which is, in my opinion, the star of that article. It is simply action with a ton of anomalies being utilized within and it just ends up being a very engaging read as a result. Good stuff.
this article gets boring at points (that history section is written too clinically — almost Wikipedia-style prose), but the action bits and the core of the anomaly are cool enough to make it worthwhile. +1
The writing is a bit rough but the narrative is compelling enough to be enjoyable.
