In this thread we discuss SCP without mentioning how dumb and creepy 231 is

Odradek · 2014-09-20 21:19:19

Seriously. Don't do it.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-09-20 21:23:38

Attempts to describe 110 Montauk have generally been derided due to sophomoric descriptions.

I think it's as good as such a thing could possibly be.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-09-20 21:52:50

Whose bright idea was 231, anyway? Who thought it could work on a fictional level?

glennmagusharvey · 2014-09-20 22:08:08

hey, don't you ever get the feeling that all of SCP's subjects are dumb and creepy, except 231?

Klinotaxis · 2014-09-20 23:18:05

i think my favorite remannt of the purges is abel. his new background is pared down and incorporates the old fluff in a simple in universe way.

anyway, 2pac is keter class

Yarrun XIX · 2014-09-20 23:30:20

I don't necessarily like 231, but I don't think it's necessarily bad. In fact, I think it serves a similar purpose to what Abel does: a boundary. No SCP can be more overtly flashy and powerful than Able. Likewise, no aspect of an SCP can be more ghastly or sexually violent or personally damning to everyone involved than 231 and Procedure 110-Montauk.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-09-20 23:30:40

You know what's cool and creepy? The trials of the Bright family

Yeah, agreed.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-09-20 23:47:28

I was very interested in the bits that weren't 110-Montauk or stuff added to justify 110-Montauk. Supposed to be weird in-story conspiracy stuff involved in it.

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-09-21 00:08:55

I honestly like the ones that either aren't meant to be unsettling at all or are just weird and quietly off-putting.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-09-21 00:13:50

Along the lines of SCP-294 or 978? I don't blame you. Those are some of the more interesting ons.

I tend to get caught up in the little stories that permeate the wiki as much as I do the individual SCPs.

Klinotaxis · 2014-09-21 00:20:40

yeah.

red sea object is still my fave tho

Crystal · 2014-09-21 00:32:29

I like SCP-173, before and after the game based around it (and later, other SCP). I don't really check the wiki as much as I would like, partially because it's difficult finding stuff I'd like, and there's just so much stuff I'm not sure how to go through it. I do like SCP-136 and SCP-706, and those other SCP in this, though.

Hexartes · 2014-09-21 00:46:39

Honestly, 231 is what got me into the SCP foundation to begin with.

I understand the inclination to view "edgy sexual violence" with derision, but in this case the moral fallout is fully dramatized. It's entirely appropriate. It's not about the form; it's about the function.

Hexartes · 2014-09-21 00:48:50

As for SCPs in general I don't really have any preference save that they're interesting, and 90% of the time they are. At any rate the site's format is a phenomenal experiment in nontraditional fiction.

Obā-san · 2014-09-21 00:53:55

indeed, by using my eyes i can percieve it most readily!

Obā-san · 2014-09-21 00:58:22

sorry i have to make that joke whenever someone uses the word phenomenal

Hexartes · 2014-09-21 00:59:21

Geddit, I dun

Obā-san · 2014-09-21 01:06:27

phenomenal also means "perceptible via the senses"

Hexartes · 2014-09-21 01:12:00

*idly nudges shade in your direction*

Klinotaxis · 2014-09-21 01:27:28

the sitee's format is an observable experiment in

Obā-san · 2014-09-21 01:31:16

what are the controlled and independent variables i need a lab report by the end of the week

Salix Babylonika · 2014-09-21 04:00:10

I like the SCP that is a CD possessed by a spirit pretending to be the ghost of Tupac Shakur.

Klinotaxis · 2014-09-21 04:40:28

the lyrics it comes up with are uninspired, it's true

Salix Babylonika · 2014-09-21 04:46:18

they're not awful but they're very un-Tupac like.

it does Lil Wayne better.

As do I, although the author could have done a better Tupac impression, lyrically speaking, as you say.

Previous Calica · 2014-09-23 23:57:06

i still like the one that's better at everything than whoever it's in the room with

including a camera

Aliroz · 2014-09-25 21:25:51

Use Scp 84 to dispose of toxic waste. Experiment with scp 254. Kill the indestructible reptile with scp 1407.

It is fun to click Random SCP. Scp 636 is fascinating. It mentions a rag with blood from no known animal. Maybe this is connected to the indestructible reptile.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-09-25 22:00:37

The nickname I use for it is the Hard-to-Destroy Reptilian. It's more symbolic of what it means to the SCP
