I like this concept, not the test log.

Question: can these facets of a personality that appear around the table attack or threaten each other? If so, can they attack the person who is hosting them?

Foweraker 17 Jul 2010 00:47

Yes. As the article says they can attack each other or the subject, but this only tends to happen in cases of a mentally unbalanced subject.

This is like a much better version of that ying-yang pendant thing that got deleted a while ago. I like it.

Hm

I get a definite Herman's Head vibe from this one. In a good way.

I especially like how we don't say what aspect each avatar represents, we just explain what they do.

A couple notes about using the term "an SCP" in an article:
1. "An SCP" is a secure containment procedure, the document and the process, not the thingie that is contained— these are "SCP objects" or "SCP artifacts". An adjective, not a noun. (Does not apply to informal speech or writing.)
2. Even colloquially, an SCP's not an SCP till it's been contained. They may be "potential SCP objects", but the only SCPs that other organizations have are ones the Foundation has contained and since lost (such as SCP-112).

I went ahead and fixed the usage here. That aside, neat idea, very nice way to play with an age-old concept. Makes me question the definition of [REDACTED], seeing what happens when they're removed entirely. Also, echoing Voct's second statement— a good SCP makes observations, not inferences. Well done there. Upvoted.

Quik: There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with someone referring to the item as 'an SCP' That's just the terminology that has grown in place around these things. I'm reverting your edits.

Huh. I thought that was a more universally accepted standard… I sit corrected (though I stand by my opinions above).

Foweraker 25 Jul 2010 20:51

Thanks for the upvote, while I agree with your gerenal point (that an SCP is a directive) that is not how it is used in most articles. Also I can't quite understand what you mean by the portion after the 2 bullets. Could you please clarify?

Quikngruvn 25 Jul 2010 21:05

"Sin". I had assumed that this was inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins, and that you were exploring the idea of a life truly without sin.

Foweraker 25 Jul 2010 21:07

Ah yes, got you. Sorry, I thought you where talking about articles without the use of the [REDACTED] tag in a slightly concussed way…

Pineapple of Despair 11 Oct 2010 23:43

Should this article really be tagged as "religious"? Referencing a religious concept doesn't automatically make the object religion-related and IMHO there is nothing in the description or properties of this object suggesting such a connection.

Foweraker 12 Oct 2010 06:49

Asside from the fact that the Vatican had it? I admit the connection is tenuous but I intended this to be a religious SCP from the get go, I just did not want to shove it down the reader's eyes.

RhettSarlin 15 May 2012 23:41

nice and interesting take on the seven deadly sins that i had not seen before. upvoted.

EFS19 - MC_Kejml 10 Aug 2012 20:22

I absolutely love this. Basically a meeting of parts of a person, negatively exxagerated. If I could give two upvotes, I would.

Dr Guardado 31 Mar 2013 01:36

I liked it, but I wonder,
What happens if they kill all 7 personality guys?

Mistbourne 19 Jul 2013 19:57

What do you think?

Me, I figure catatonia and death.

AMP02 02 Oct 2014 15:10

And thus, Dr Gears was born.

SketchParker 09 Mar 2016 10:53

No recorded conversations? I think this would leave a lot of room for mind control testing. I think that some logs of observations and testing for persona control and manipulation would be incredible. There's a lot of potential flexibility here.
