SCP Foundation - None of the signs lead where they should. None of the walls point where they should - General

[IMG]http://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/about-the-scp-foundation/scp-logo-signature.png[/IMG] [B]About the SCP Foundation:[/B] [I]Mankind in its present state has been around for a quarter of a million years, yet only the last 4,000 have been of any significance. So, what did we do for nearly 250,000 years? We huddled in caves and around small fires, fearful of the things that we didn't understand. It was more than explaining why the sun came up, it was the mystery of enormous birds with heads of men and rocks that came to life. So we called them 'gods' and 'demons', begged them to spare us, and prayed for salvation. In time, their numbers dwindled and ours rose. The world began to make more sense when there were fewer things to fear, yet the unexplained can never truly go away, as if the universe demands the absurd and impossible. [B]Mankind must not go back to hiding in fear.[/B] No one else will protect us, and we must stand up for ourselves. While the rest of mankind dwells in the light, we must stand in the darkness to fight it, contain it, and shield it from the eyes of the public, so that others may live in a sane and normal world. [B]We secure. We contain. We protect.[/B] [B]— The Administrator[/B][/I] [B]Mission Statement:[/B] Operating clandestine and worldwide, the Foundation operates beyond jurisdiction, empowered and entrusted by every major national government with the task of containing anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. These anomalies pose a significant threat to global security by threatening either physical or psychological harm. The Foundation operates to maintain normalcy, so that the worldwide civilian population can live and go on with their daily lives without fear, mistrust, or doubt in their personal beliefs, and to maintain human independence from extraterrestrial, extradimensional, and other extranormal influence. Our mission is three-fold: [I]Secure[/I] The Foundation secures anomalies with the goal of preventing them from falling into the hands of civilian or rival agencies, through extensive observation and surveillance and by acting to intercept such anomalies at the earliest opportunity. [I]Contain[/I] The Foundation contains anomalies with the goal of preventing their influence or effects from spreading, by either relocating, concealing, or dismantling such anomalies or by suppressing or preventing public dissemination of knowledge thereof. [I]Protect[/I] The Foundation protects humanity from the effects of such anomalies as well as the anomalies themselves until such time that they are either fully understood or new theories of science can be devised based on their properties and behavior. The Foundation may also neutralize or destroy anomalies as an option of last resort, if they are determined to be too dangerous to be contained. [B]Item#:[/B]SCP-2600-FP [B]Object Class:[/B] Thaumiel [B]Special Containment Procedures:[/B] This thread is to be contained within the General Discussion section of the Facepunch forum. All readers of the topic should be immediately located and brought into Foundation custody for new recruit training. [B]Description:[/B] The SCP Wiki is a huge collaborative project from hundreds of different authors, it details a SHITLOAD of creepy, powerful and usually highly misunderstood artifacts in the care of a rich, secretive foundation with ties to pretty much all world governments. The "Foundation" is basically a huge group of scientists, military agents and high level supervisors who are charged with Securing, Containing and Protecting the aforementioned artifacts, often with catastrophic results, nonetheless they press on with a seemingly unlimited budget and manpower. The main feature of this website is the individual entries for over 2000 different artifacts, ranging from a biological MP5, a living joke, to a painting which when reproduced correctly creatures a giant wormhole, to a startling variety of terrifying parasites. Basically, if you've ever thought of something scary, or had a nightmare with something horrific in it, the foundation has tagged it, bagged it and fed 10-100 criminals to it, to see what happens. Along with a few thousand more items. [B]SCP Highlights:[/B] [url]http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-610[/url] [B]"The Flesh That Hates"[/B] [IMG]http://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-610/610.jpg[/IMG] A rather disturbing mass of flesh that spans a large area in the Ukraine. It actively attacks and transforms other lifeforms (particularly humans) into more of itself and fills the countryside. It is basically indestructible, highly aggressive and is spread incredibly deep underground.

It began to wander around its containment, tracing the perimeter of the room. It did this for about an hour before staring at a spot on the wall. Review of footage shows that it's faced this wall after deactivating during previous tests. Security has confirmed that SCP-956 is facing directly towards an elementary school.

I'm the most prolific author on the site, so if you have any questions about it I can probably answer them. And remember, you can't fit round pegs in square holes.

Does anyone know where the original image of the flesh that hates is from? I remember browsing some art show post and all the pictures were like that. It was about a view from hell and it was probably a metaphor or something. It's been years since I've seen it and then when I read the scp a few years ago I knew I saw the picture before. I have no idea who the artist was though.

Ghhost, could you post some of your articles?

Is the Containment Breach game still being updated? I remember that being pretty good and scary for a free game.

SCP used to be cool but most good ideas were spent in the early days and now it's just stupid.

[QUOTE=Scot;48126570]SCP used to be cool but most good ideas were spent in the early days and now it's just stupid.[/QUOTE] Feels like the opposite for me; the early stuff was atrocious and laden with blatant mary-sue self insert bullshit looking back. Even the site admits that stuff like SCP-137 and 682 wouldn't be considered good SCPs nowaday if they weren't such a huge part of their history.

[QUOTE=Annoyed Grunt;48126440]Ghhost, could you post some of your articles?[/QUOTE] Yes I can! I already linked two, SCP-2805 and SCP-1507, the latter being my first SCP. [url]http://www.scp-wiki.net/roget-s-proposal[/url] [B]"Roget's Proposal - Keter Duty"[/B] This is my 001 proposal, the idea here is that SCP-001 is the source of Keter-class anomalies, and it keeps them contained by pitting them against each other. Originally started out as a rewrite of Eberstrom's 001 Proposal that evolved into its own article. Can't fit round pegs in square [url]http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-why-are-you-reading-a-url-go-be-productive-j[/url] [B]JUST SAY NO!!![/B] Basically, I had an idea at school for a "JUST SAY NO" -J. I came home and started working on it, and stopped shortly into the description. I posted in chat saying "how does it look so far?". Salman Corbette happened to be there, and he thought it was hilarious. He then demanded that I post it immediately. So I did. After 10 minutes of work, I had a successful -J. [url]http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2600-ex[/url] [B]Furred Trout[/B] My only Explained SCP, This one came from another user, dexanote, posting the furred trout myth in IRC, and telling someone to make it into an SCP. At the time, I was going to a vacation in west virginia, and the car ride was boring me to tears. So I pulled out my phone and started writig it. It took about seven hours, and is the only thing I've ever written only on a phone. The original version had some weird dialog, but I've had help cleaning it up. I'm very proud of the current version. Also, the numbers for SCP-2600-EX and 5200-J come from the atari consoles. I've got too many to post here, so if you want to look at the rest a complete listing is on my author page: [url]http://www.scp-wiki.net/dr-rogets-file[/url]

I loved the 001 suggestion-story about the area 2 researches found and it ended up with one locked up in a containment cell and everyone forgetting what´s inside and what it even is and shit when they stepped out [editline]5th July 2015[/editline] i fucking love your proposal as well 10/10

Oh man, during public speaking I did the shark punching speech [URL="http://www.scp-wiki.net/10-30-a-m"]straight out of this[/URL], it was for a final project and the class had a bit of laughter. I normally am a bit quiet for my speeches and such, it was fun doing something completely different.

Man, it's been a while since I've seen a Foundation thread on FP. Anyone remember the SCP Minecraft server, by any chance? I haven't read any of the new stuff, not for ages. I think the last one I read was a story about a London investment banker being recruited by Marshall, Carter and Dark. That was back in 2013 (holy shit it feels like forever ago)

To this point I am still not sure if foundation is more interested in hiding things or to destroy them, specifically in times where it is possible to do the later.

SCP-2602 used to be a library, and it's amazing how such a simple premise (that the building was, in fact, once a library) can be so disturbing, despite former libraries such as SCP-2602 typically not being that scary.

I like SCP-2602, it used to be a library

oh hey you should have told me you made a thread my favorite article to this day remains the tomatoes. it's a travesty that it's not a J however.

[QUOTE=gufu;48132707]To this point I am still not sure if foundation is more interested in hiding things or to destroy them, specifically in times where it is possible to do the later.[/QUOTE] They're interested in containment, the Global Occult Coalition. This is a canon based on that group: [URL="http://www.scp-wiki.net/goc-hub-page"]http://www.scp-wiki.net/goc-hub-page[/URL] [[url]http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1583][/url] This is a GOC SCP I wrote, called "It Only Makes Us Stronger" [IMG]http://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-1583/1583.jpg[/IMG] I also took the image, its a barrel for post-apocalyptic supplies I bought at a garage sale.

I've had some great ideas for SCPs but I'm not that great at matching the SCP style of writing. One of them is someone who can heal others by doing things that would normally cause injury. Except he sees the person getting injured instead. He's forced to heal people in experiments and his mental health gradually deteriorates. Another is a super-intelligent swarm of flesh-eating spiders that can turn themselves into water and then back into spiders (although I admit this one isn't that great)

One of my favorite SCPs is probably the one with the basketball match where the players and audience grow self-aware and try to break out, only to die and reset every time.

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;48137494]One of my favorite SCPs is probably the one with the basketball match where the players and audience grow self-aware and try to break out, only to die and reset every time.[/QUOTE] And the whole thing eventually devolves into orgies and sacrificial murder. Yeah, 1733 still gives me the creeps when I read it over again. Speaking of personal favorites, [url=http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-453]SCP-453[/url] has to be mine. It was the first SCP that got me really hooked on the site.

I wonder why they won't try combining SCP-610 with SCP-500. [QUOTE]Note From Dr. Klein: SCP personnel below Level 3 are now banned from handling SCP-500. This is not to be used to cure a hangover. Get AIDS and then ask permission.[/QUOTE] Also wow.

[url=http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-294]SCP-294[/url] is my favourite SCP.

I forget the SCP numbers, but two of my favorites are the lifeless city where you can just fall into endless abysses, they sent a drone in and it was still falling weeks after they sent it in, and a rusted old ship that changes layouts seemingly randomly.

I remember there was a ferris wheel of penises and bodies lined up to be penetrated by them? Might have been another art show tho.

I remember writing an SCP about a self playing guitar that causes ethnic russians to fall into into a coma while the guitar feeds on their dreams and gives them vivid nightmares where they can feel pain and can't wake up. They wake up after an increasing amount of time after each victim, and the intensity of the dreams build upon each successive individual. I was going to have a closing addendum where the dreams have gotten to the point when they've started bleeding into reality. I could never match the writing style of the SCP authors correctly so i never bothered submitting it.

I remember finding out about SCP things my senior year of high school and read them on the way to school on the bus. My favorite ones were ones regarding either buildings or vehicles. There was this one I remember that involved [URL="http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-802"]a tank with it's turret ripped off, wandering through some countryside blaring classical music[/URL]. As dumb as it may seem, I couldn't sleep that night because I kept thinking that a tank blaring Paul Hindemith would crash into my room and crush me.

I remember I had the old thread for this, great site. Lost about 5 hours to it last night. Really like the one with the cinnabar discs which open up a second plane of reality where humanity seems to be gone. There's some good stuff all through 2k-3k that I read last night too, there's a perpetual motion machine created by Tesla which had some really cool backstory to it.
