This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-296.
I would like to see this have more of its Black boxes and sponges removed, but I don't know the event its refrincing or if it even exists, so I couldn't do it. Otherwise, I find this really impressive. Also, shouldn't its primary class be safe, as the results of interacting with it are entirely known?
This is different. Another really interesting old SCP.
Downvoted because the formatting makes me want to gag. Lowell, can I go fix that up for you?
(account deleted)Not sure what to think about this one. I understand that a lot of this may be due to the article being written well before tone, flow and overall expectations were standardized for SCPs, but I'm still not too crazy about how long it takes before we're told what the SCP itself is and the casual tone with nonclinical, subjective words in use.
On the other hand, taken on its own, this is a well-written article that provides an intriguing glimpse into what could happen when a bunch of SCPs contained at a Site get sorta fused as a result of detonating on-site nukes.
This. It's a very, very nice idea, but while the order in which information is given to us is decent storytelling, that is not even remotely what an actual in-character report would look like.
if your reading this your gay
This one reads, in a complex manner I feel. Seemed to have layer after layer of what was in it, what was going on, and what was being revealed to me as a reader at every paragraph. Definitely different than other articles. On the fence about how I feel about this, though it's more positive than negative, I feel, confused..
I'm not sure I fully grasped this here. Is the Foundation effectively using an SCP to guard another SCP? Isn't that, like, a horrible idea by principle?
On the good side, though, creepy imagery you have there.
As I read it, I don't think it was exactly the Foundations idea to do things this way. It's more that allowing "Judgement" to keep the other nameless SPCs in this sort of stasis by not permitting anyone that it (Judgement) would see as being in need of punishment into the chamber is merely the least-bad of a (presumably limited) selection of bad options.
The writing is a bit lackluster, "Judgement"'s criteria for freeing the blackboxed SCPs seems rather arbitrary and its methodology could be better developed, but the central concept is both novel and interesting and none of the bad bits are bad enough to discourage me from upvoting. If nothing else, this is a good example of why "contain" may be a better idea than "try to destroy". +1
This is the only article on the wiki that is tagged with all three classifications.
I still enjoyed it, though. +1.
