I realize this sounds rude.

Tanhony, the whole "this SCP can do several different things, here's a chart listing different conditional examples" thing is beginning to look extremely formulaic and detract from your writing in a big way. The presentation is getting repetitive.

Sorry, I guess I am doing it too much. I just couldn't work out a way to show the different species for this one without a chart.

I… tentatively agree with yoric's critique, but I really like this anyway, so there you are. Upvoted.

I like this, but 1h is a repeat of 1g, which I doubt was intentional.

Tanhony 08 Oct 2011 22:07

Thanks for pointing it out. :)

Was 'meh' on this until I saw SCP-857-1i, that's the hat trick.

I kinda wonder.. why is that level 4 knowledge? By definition, anyone level 2 or higher is charged with overseeing any research that'll go on there, and as such , will very probably find out there's another type of creature.

In the old version, it kinda worked because it was just a note by a potentially insane researcher, so it was suppressed - it might have introduced bias. (yeah, i know, i asked you about its odd tone, but considered it something that'd need a footnote from the O5)

No vote at the moment.

And the sick part of me wonders if they'd be any good in organ transplants…

Totally thought the last one was going to be a penis.

Quite cool, but mostly I like the second picture.
I don't have a problem with tables, because how else are you going to be able to present the data very well?

SCP-857-1a reminds me of 565, though less brainy.

I was expecting the classified part to be something along the lines of "There's a big tree in the center and all hell will break loose if we don't give it 2 people per month. Amazonian Tribal's have been doing this for centuries blah blah blah cyrptic note about change in behavior in the end." I don't know it felt disappointing to find out that it was just Ruffians from Viva Pinata.

The classified info gets my upvote. As for what pooryoric said, if it's becoming a trend you might try thinking outside the box, but it totally works for this article.
