(account deleted)Downvoted for a couple of reasons:
1) SCiPnet just sounds silly.
2) This isn't an interesting format screw. It just made my eyes glaze over trying to read it.
3) "Devourer of Worlds"? I'm all for arcane stuff in an SCP, but come on.
This isn't an interesting format screw. It just made my eyes glaze over trying to read it.
This right here. Strip it away and it's just not all that interesting.
Well, not entirely. The Scarlet King stuff was mildly interesting (Mostly because I've used the SK for a good deal of mythos building myself), but exploration of that aspect was ignored for a completely unnecessary and unpleasant format screw.
e: Downvote removed for making it a lot easier to read
I would like to mention to everyone here that the entity is Not the Scarlet king. If you would like more info on that: contact me, or read my introduction on the new writers thread.
Hey buddy - glad you're getting into the site and its lore, but remember, canons change from person to person and what I believe might be true can be pretty different from what other people believe! Maybe this is the Scarlet King, the only person that can say is the reader and what they believe.
True enough, I apologize. I just have done a great deal of research on this topic, as its one of the main reasons I joined the foundation. I will just post that information here, and let people decide for themselves. In "The Door To Another World," the entity inside was hinted at being the Scarlet king, but I personally didn't believe that. After extensive research, I found a match for another entity that could was a match for the Destroyer of Worlds. LORD GORAN, The Horned Brute, The Breaker of Kingdoms, Wrath's Flame, Bane of Angels, the Scarlet King's Sixth Hand. I descovered him while snooping in the Serpent's hand database, and it referances him being of "Massive size" and conquered 48 realms. Then, "At an unknown time, Lord Goran became imprisoned when attempting to conquer a universe already subjugated by an Archon of Yaldabaoth.1011 This enraged the Archon who battled and defeated Lord Goran after an hour. The Archon brought Goran by the horns to the Scarlet King, and demanded why his lord attempted to violate the Treaty of Thorns and Flesh.
The Scarlet King apologized and explained Goran acted alone. To make amends, he punished Lord Goran by banishing him to an unknown plane of existence of little interest" The serpent's hand does not know where he might be imprisoned, but I think I do. It aslo state that Goran will be imprisoned until "The Scarlet King needs him again" The dorr to another world references a small salt plane and at the middle, a massive entity is contained with chains, all but one broken. The pieces fit. I belive the mystery is solved. Thank you for excepting me into the foundation.

Obligatory note, the SCP wiki is not a roleplaying site. When you obtain membership to the wiki, you're not actually part of the fictional Foundation; site members are expected to interact with the forums with that in mind.
I think it fit rather well into the lore of the Scarlet king, though I dont believe it is him. Sure, the formats kinda screwy, but looking past that, I think its a well thought out scp.
Riemann is correct in that the SCP-Wiki does not have a universal canon. The entire purpose of this site is to explore various fictional writing elements in a collaborative way and each reader is allowed to interpret things however they want.
Even if Clef dropped in to state what his intent was when writing this article, that wouldn't prevent other people from deciding for themselves where this fits into their own individual and unique headcanon.
I realize that you are obviously personally invested in your own particular headcanon, but spam-posting on articles demanding that other people accept your own view is not only rude but rulebreaking. You are welcome to edit your own posts if you have more thoughts to add, but please refrain from replying to your own posts like this in the future.
Well, this is… a thing. Definitely… definitely a thing. It's… it's a very… long thing, isn't it? A bit weird, but not in a good way. I'm downvoting for the screw.
EDIT: I do like the idea, though. If it were cut up into smaller bits I would upvote.
Upvote. Still not a fan of the screw.
I didn't enjoy having to read the same information five times. And the "format screw" is more like a transcript and doesn't even appear to be related to the effects of the anomaly.
I don't believe the format screw is effective here, for a few reasons:
1. Repetitive information makes this difficult to read
2. The information given doesn't appear to justify the length and repeated information
3. Miscellaneous information given to contribute to the format screw gets in the way of actual information of the article (e.g. typing in passwords and "warning you are entering level 2 security" etc etc)
EDIT: Upon the edits I have rescinded my downvote.
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
Yeah, I'm okay with the format screw. But like I said, it should probably be done on multiple pages, perhaps in a manner similar to SCP-2998.
Otherwise, I thought that it was a good story with the sense of ominous doom that you want in your Keters.
I liked it a hell of a lot, all in all. I sort of wish I more fully understood the connection between this and 231, but of course, the whole point is that you're supposed to want to know more. And I don't think I've ever complained about a format screw. I made suggestions in chat that a format more like 2998 might alleviate some of the complaints, but it's up to you and I'm upvoting anyway. Damn fine piece of work.
The actual content was interesting enough and would have caused me to upvote. However, the format screw was extremely repetitive and boring to read, which really muddled my experience.
The format ruined it.
EDIT: This was supposed to be its own post, apologies.
