The pic and pop culture references hurts this one

The Administrator 29 Jul 2008 06:30

I do like the amount of work that was put into this one, but I think the picture and pop culture references hold it back
I also think that it must be explained why he was exposed to other SCPs and how his luck got him out alive.
If he is the charcter from the movie, his name is Danny Ocean, there's no G. And if he is from the movie, the reference hurts this one bad.
Pop culture fiction references should be held for parodies and joke SCPs.
If he's based on a real person, it'd be ok, but I'd find another picture.

Good effort overall.

Yeah, I think this one is pretty cool as well, but I kinda agree with the Administrator.

i chose danny as the pic cause i thought it looked good
i guess i didnt think through the impact overall
hes not george clooney
not a reference to the movie
that was just the image in my head for a lucky guy
and i see your point so im searching around for a new pic

They try for a edit on it, and you'll hopefully be able to save it

Many articles represent interesting and likeable artifacts that, while interesting and likeable, just don't make for SCPs. When you're writing an SCP article, you have to ask yourself; is this really SCP material? If people go "d'aww" "*fapfapfap*" or "cool I want this!" then the article needs to be thought about more closely.

Something to think about. :)

Then edit him a bit and we'll see if he avoids the ax!

I've tweaked it a bit, and added the implication that his luck has exponential negative effects on surrounding events. In the wrong situation, that could destroy the world entirely.

I like the concept, and playing with the 'born lucky' idea being negative.

I vote to keep it, if my vote means anything.

why is "worldwide" cut off as "[DATA EXPUNGED]rldwide"?

seems kind of like an X-Man to me. in fact, there are several heroes that have this power in comics. needs more of a downside to really avoid that. though I like that he was a D-Class when he was discovered, that's clever.

tunedtoadeadchannel 02 Oct 2009 11:58

It cuts off because that last bit was part of my edit to (hopefully) save this article, and I frequently do that when using [DATA EXPUNGED], My logic being that whoever censors these documents is just as human and lazy as everyone else. [DATA EXPUNGED] is a way of showing that a large amount of text (paragraphs or pages) has been removed, and I've always imagined that if a line carried over onto the next page, it might be left behind by a lazy censor. Ever seen those leaked classified CIA documents? Like that.

I'm not really a fan of [DATA EXPUNGED]utting off in mid-word. For one thing, it seems too messy for the foundation. For another, he's recent enough that his reports should be entirely on computer, no?

tunedtoadeadchannel 12 May 2011 18:04

No?

There's not a given timeline for these articles, though the headphones peg him as at least mid eighties, probably early nineties minimum.

Fair 'nuff. I don't particularly like it, but it's just a stylistic choice so whatever :P
