I think this curse may finally have been broken.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-601.
Before somebody asks "what curse?" There was a few people on chat who noticed the number of failed SCPs that have passed through number 601 over the last month or two. There's a reasonable explanation (being the lowest remaining [Acess Denied]) but yeah, curses and superstition's fun.
When first presented with a set of beverages for each member, SCP-601 will pour several ounces of each beverage onto the floor prior to consumption.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Roman tradition of "sacrificing" a portion of the meal to the gods (typically Zeus) before eating. Which could indicate that this collective has existed since that time period.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
From the article's title, it (the SCP) has been around since Classical Greece, and they also did that. My comment was mostly in jest, because the thought of a gangsta hivemind tickles my funnytumor.

Did the Romans have a Zeus, too?
Google "Jupiter".
You know, I like this. I particularly like the odd behavior in the addenda; differentiates this from any number of other collectives/gestalts on the site.
Nitpick: Strikes me as a little odd that this SCP isn't being monitored at all times, just in case. Why not just have the uniforms abruptly disappear or reform?
It's been in Foundation containment since the 1800's. It's possible that the Foundation simply didn't have the resources (or technology) to easily monitor them at all times.
You're not the first to point that out. When I first wrote this I imagined that 601 had been in custody without event for so long that the containment brotocols were never updated; why waste the funds if the old system works? Still, it's a good point- if the Foundation was spending the time to revisit 601 for experimentation, they would revisit the containment protocols, especially in light of those test results. I'll likely do some small edits when I have some time and am not on a cell phone…
containment brotocols
I am disturbed by the implications here :O
Anyway, makes sense.
(account deleted)I just did Greek drama for my literature in Term 1, and what is this :D
upvote!
edit: And I see what you did there.
acting director of Site 3.
it took me forever to get that.
you bastard
I'm still not getting it. :|
Please forgive my stupidity, it's late and I should probably be asleep.
Not one acting as a director, but one who directs others' acting.
While interesting, materialisation/transformation of clothing described in the addendum feels a bit out of place to me. Sure, it may be a cool trick for the chorus to change costumes - but it adds a new property to the SCP which is significantly different from what it does otherwise yet is only mentioned in passing. IMHO it should be either integrated into the core of the article or not mentioned at all.
Some tests would not hurt either. Two ideas off the top of my head: we could try to determine how exactly members of this SCP "communicate", and would be interesting to see how they operate in an environment not implementing the sets-of-twelve principle.
That said, I like it! A good idea and pretty good execution.
Edit: Clarified my point about costume changing.
…because a greek chorus is obviously never supposed to change clothes.
…because a greek chorus is obviously never supposed to change clothes.
That's missing the point. The point is, the clothes changing is a supernatural ability that seems pretty significant.
I'd agree that more testing could add something to the article, though it's good already.
What if only 4 members were to remain? They wouldn't have enough left hands to lay on the "subject".
I would imagine that the Foundation would never test that (because it might destroy the SCP), but it is an interesting question. They'd probably use their heads or something.

Only five meters for twelve people? That must be cramped!
