You take a block from the bottom and you put it on top
You take a block from the middle and you put it on top
That's how you build a tower; you just don't stop
You gotta build that tower putting blocks on top!

It's the anajengala, and I'm absolutely sure how to feel about that — which is to say, childishly gleeful.

YES

Only posting this to reiterate that I was thinking the same thing as I wrote this; it's the anafabula, but with jenga.

We just need to write a 54-part epic about SCP-2747 and convince it to 'eat' the most critical parts. Story collapses, PROBLEM SOLVED.

Irony would require this to result in the end of the SCP Foundationverse itself (or all its documentation) - the very end prophesized by the arrival of the anafabula. :)

I remember downvoting this when I first saw it on the site. However, the new additions to it have made the article much better (even making me laugh).

Upvoted.

I really like this as an AWCY object. I feel like their usual thing (douchebags who kill people with art to show off how smart and edgy they are) is tough to pull off without making them just seem like comic book villains.

This particular item really nails it for me though — booby-trapping a convention of other anartists to send some vague and pretentious message is AWCY at their worst(/best), but has an internal logic that makes sense to me. I feel like it displays a pettiness and insecurity that really fleshes out the motives of the group as a whole.

Neutral voting. It's a neat basic idea (although AWCY is not the most interesting origin) and the pyramid scheme variation was very good. But then it ended just when it felt like a rug-pull was due - if you could find a compelling third variation this could be great.

I was actually thinking about this, and had an idea:

Addendum XXXX.2: On 15/05/2015, several IntSCPFN¹ servers experienced critical crashes simultaneously. Analysis of data found the crash occurred as a result of an update made to an SCP file which invalidated several cross-links to that file.

Further analysis determined the existence of a network of crosslinks involving 54 such files, all of which describe similar (and related) anomalies. It is now believed these anomalies are associated with AWCY.

Clever and neat, but I don't feel like the article went anywhere beyond "Hey look at how clever and neat this anomaly is".

No signature defined.

Considering that AWCY is behind this one, that was probably the intent of it in-universe too.

I enjoyed this one. It's nice to see a good old-fashioned thing-what-does-a-thing once in awhile.

Inspired after reading SCP-2748, I ended up making a significant revision to this skip.

I'm no literary expert but

banditysmig 25 Mar 2018 01:51

I didn't quite get the point of it. What is the catch? Is it scary, funny…?
Also, a lot of the explanations glazed over my head and I could not understand them.

Posting here to note that I added the tag "chaos-insurgency" upon Hippo's request for the tag to be added.

Junior Staff Post - WikiWalk Proposal

The WikiWalk team is proposing edits to this page. All proposed edits will be in a collapsible below this post, and after 7 days if there are no serious objections to the edits, the feedback received will be taken into account as the edits are made. If you have questions not directly related to the article about this project, please pm a member of the WikiWalk Team.

First of all, this skip mentions Are We Cool Yet? I propose linking to the hub.

Secondly, like a number of other Hippo skips, this mentions an "I/O" bot in the special containment procedures. I propose linking to SCP-3089, since it also mentions an I/O bot in the special containment procedures.

Alsom stormbreath mentioned linking to a couple of AWCY SCPs in the first incident log.

Editing this:

- AWCY

To this:

- AWCY

Editing this:

A Foundation-operated bot (I/O-DOOM) is to monitor internet traffic for SCP-2753.

To this:

A Foundation-operated bot (I/O-SILVER) is to monitor internet traffic for SCP-2753.

Editing this:

14 additional anomalous objects (including SCP-1433, an instance of SCP-1617, and SCP-████) were also recovered amidst the wreckage.

Also, it's come to my attention that Hippo's deleted his account. I don't know whether or not somebody came into ownership of his stuff, but if they did they have the final say over this.

I'm 100% fine with this (tbh the lack of a crosslink to the AWCY hub was just an oversight on my part) but I think it's maybe a little weird to link the I/O-DOOM to another skip just because it also uses a bot that starts with the I/O prefix. There are a lot of skips that use bots with the I/O prefix, now. Like, it would make more sense to me if it was linking to a skip that referred to the same bot.

Re: Junior Staff Post - WikiWalk Proposal

notgull 18 Apr 2018 14:12

Do you know of any skips that refer to the same bot?

Re: Junior Staff Post - WikiWalk Proposal

The Great Hippo 18 Apr 2018 22:05

Oh, no — I was just saying making a crosslink for the I/O seems weird to me when this specific I/O isn't referred to anywhere else. Like I said, I'm fine with it; I just thought I'd bring it up.

Alternatively: I/O-DOOM is something I came up with off the top of my head. Switching it out for an I/O that's referred to elsewhere would be fine with me, too; for example, changing I/O-DOOM to I/O-SILVER (therefore making the connection between the articles more "clear").

Re: Junior Staff Post - WikiWalk Proposal

stormbreath 19 Apr 2018 01:38

Other things for crosslinks: the first Incident Log mentions three black-boxed anart skips, all from AWCY. Those could easily be filled in with AWCY art skips that don't have existing backstories: SCP-1590, SCP-1433, SCP-1617 were the only three I found. You could also link to a Project Proposal and keep the blackboxes.
