This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-836.
The addendum at the end really helps to solidify this (also clarify it, I was having trouble understanding exactly what it did until the end). Definitely worth an upvote.
I like the idea, but I'm staying neutral until this is edited for grammar, especially punctuation. It's not something I worry about significantly while reading drafts, but this has the opportunity to be really big. I will upvote at that point, though.
(account deleted)The article still needs grammar fixes, especially in the last paragraph. Also, in the description, it should briefly describe what the SCP is and does, without having to explain it in several paragraphs.
example: SCP-836 is a xxxxxxxx that does xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to it's surrounding environment by performing xxxxxxxxxx. Something simple like that.
That is a very trippy picture, expecially once you think of it as "seen from above".
I like the idea, but I'm left with a feeling of "meh". It might be the extensive notes on the life-cycle that turns me off, just a bit too dry. On the other hand, that part is vital to establishing the concept. So I guess I have nothing useful to suggest.
I dunno what to say, really. An exploration log for the MTF that went in would have been nice, but i just don't feel up to doing a good job writing it, so i turned to short notes. Maybe one day, when i'll write better, i'll come back to it for an improvement.
As for it being dry.. well, this is a report supposedly written by a scientist to someone who needs to know. (Of course that can be made interesting too, like Gears does it, but I fail at that)
When I saw the picture and realised what this SCP is, I really liked it. However, after actually reading the article… It is not that it is bad, far from it. Somehow, it simply does not strike a note in me. I wish I could be more specific here (it may indeed be how long and dry the description is, as already mentioned by someone here - the final notes I am in fact quite fond of), for now however I shall simply stay neutral on this one.
Well.
The live samples are kept in CFRP casing and even that has to be replaced every so often as it eventually grows through.
To destroy an infection ,a process that is named after a fire god, and can be 'excused' as the impact of a large military satellite is used.
If unnoticed and reaches the 'metastasizing' stage, it can spread over water lines and infect whole city blocks in relatively short amounts of time.
structure seen from above
Yet we see grass and other foliage growing near the bottom of the image and we see more plants throughout the image that do not obey gravity (there's even a couple instances of hanging plants.) I didn't see any mention of structures not obeying gravity or shifting how things respond to it so I'm going to assume this was an oversight.
Hmm, I should crop it, likely.
I can't really make out that unless I right-click and view it in full, in fact, haven't noticed it when digging the picture from the site it was on.
The stuff at the bottom is harder to see and you likely wouldn't notice the inconsistencies with the hanging plants unless you really paid attention to the image. But if you do see the mistakes it kind of ruins the "this is from above" angle because there's stuff in it that would be impossible if not very unlikely if the image really was from overhead.
The Concrete That Hates. Don't tell me it doesn't make sense!
Allow me to clarify. To me, this reads like a building version of SCP-610. If you're expressing your disapproval with your comment, I apologize.
I know what you are trying to say, I was just being silly.
That said, I loved the humorous tidbit when it got translated on the russian site which went like "If you express your disapproval at something on a construction site, and get told "It happened by itself", they might actually be telling the truth."
The concrete that wishes to proliferate it's qualms in a verbal manner.
Argue, if you dare.
