And, due to the time confines, essentially a cold post — I got a little feedback on the forums, but, to be honest, didn't think it was helpful and didn't follow it.

Let me know what you think. :)

e: Just to note, the image is too old for copyright to matter, I believe, as it was taken before 1923.

The containment procedures are wickedly funny and carry the rest of the article, which is otherwise a plain compulsion anomaly that tries to convince people to do something hazardous to their health. The poster would also be a lot better if it didn't specifically call out a single person and was just targeted to infectees in general (which you can accomplish by removing the word 'Paul').

Thank you for the compliment, and for the feedback! I'll remove the word "Paul" from there after jamcon is over — I don't believe I'm allowed to make major edits after it's up. :)

Well, I updated the image. Still trying to decide if I want to keep this up or not.

I like it. Always nice to have simple, fun Scips. Everytime you mention Abercrombie and Fitch, however, I think of polo shirts.

Thanks!

And I put that in because I thought it was funny — Abercrombie and Fitch used to be actual hunting/camping gear and real clothes, which presidents/celebrities like TR wore and promoted. I'll if I can mess with it & capitalize on it a little more.

I'm a big fan of that last image. Kudos. +1

I liked the concept and most of how it was carried, but I actually have issues with the containment procedures.

Though the Rio da Dúvida trip is still pretty wild to this day, the amazonian rainforest isn't so devoid of urban life. The area shown in the map have a number of cities, some of those of pretty reasonable size, like Manaus, and certainly have phone signal. Also, a good piece of the river area is actually Cerrado, a Savana-like vegetation and climate.

As funny as it is to see a skip that induces ignorant delusions to the affected people, it isn't acceptable for the Foundation itself to be equally oblivious and racist.

I loved the sarcasm of the piece. It stands to reason that there are personnel at the foundation that are a little less clinical when it comes to Safe/“harmless” SCPs, because all containment requires is common sense. “Hey, feeling like visiting the rainforest? Well remember how it sucks? So let’s not and say we did! Alright? Good!” Hahaha love it!

Bully!
