[QUOTE=yawmwen;32483279]It's description of "artifacts", and their containment procedures.
Image that the goal of each author is to accurately and pseudo-scientifically describe each item/person/anomaly. It's sort of like an encyclopedia of weird shit.[/QUOTE]
That's kind of how I thought of it as. But thanks for clearing it up. :)
I thought [url]http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1051[/url] was an EXTREMELY clever take on an old classic.
[B]Object Class:[/B] Safe
[B]Special Containment Procedures:[/B] SCP-XXXX is to be kept in secure locker ██ in Armory █████ at Site ██. Any personnel wishing to test or use SCP-XXXX should fill out the necessary paperwork beforehand, except in the event of containment failure in Site ██, in which case XXXX may be of great help in re-establishing order.
[B]Description:[/B] SCP-XXXX appears to be an 1873 Colt Model P Single Action Army Peacemaker revolver, with extended 12 inch barrel. It functions much as one would expect, and testing shows that all materials are indeed what they seem to be. Causes of SCP-XXXX's irregular behavior remain unknown, though recent breakthroughs have led researchers to speculate that [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-XXXX is recorded as being manufactured on ██/██/187█, though testing has indicated that it may in fact have been created in 18██.
Any individual weilding SCP-XXXX instantaneously gains skills and reflexes comparable to that of world-class exhibition shooters. The effect only manifests itself when SCP-XXXX is being used, and does not affect the user's prowess with other weapons. SCP-XXXX's second anomalous feature is the fact that ammunition in the chamber never depletes. When the hammer begins to move towards an empty chamber, all six of the .44 calibur rounds already fired will instantaneously return to the chamber. Again, how SCP-XXXX does this remains unknown. Even high-speed footage has proved unhelpful, as the effect happens in less than a single frame of footage can show. The return of the round to the chamber coincides with the disappearance of the bullets, shell casings, and gun smoke of spent ammunition, indicating that SCP-XXXX somehow reassembles the rounds from their constituent atoms and transports them to the drum instantaneously. This effect gives SCP-XXXX, for all intents and purposes, unlimited ammunition. Combined with the skills inherent to using it, SCP-XXXX can be used devastatingly quickly and efficiently, effectively acting as a rapid-fire machine gun (provided the user is wearing gloves; constant friction of the hammer on bare palms has led to serious injury in field tests).
The third and final effect of SCP-XXXX is its subtle influence on its user. After having SCP-XXXX on a subject's person for approximately ██ hours, the subject will begin to become increasingly aggressive, arrogant, and violent. The most notable example of this is the case of Agent ███████, who after carrying the weapon in the field for ████ █████ eventually ███████████████ █████ ███████████████ █████, ultimately leading to [DATA EXPUNGED].
Luckily, the psychological effects of SCP-XXXX begin to fade between ██ and ██ hours after subjects part with the weapon, varying depending on how long they carried it. As a result, testing or use of SCP-XXXX by a single individual must be limited to ██ hours.
SCP-XXXX was recovered from one Mrs. █████ █████████ on ██/██/19██, after the weapon was put up for sale on an internet auction site. SCP staff noticed the page, and acted quickly to contact the woman. Luckily, few saw the page, and fewer still believed it could truly have the purported properties. Mrs. █████████ claims to have received the gun from her grandfather when he was on his death bed, where he revealed to her that they were descendants of legendary outlaw ███████ ██████████. Given ██████████'s reputation, it seems that he carried SCP-XXXX for the majority of his life. Mrs. █████████ was an able sharpshooter even without SCP-XXXX's assistance, and worked with the Foundation training security personnel and field operatives until her death during the containment failure of [DATA EXPUNGED].

Should I bother making an account to post this on the site? I've already thought of some cool experiments involving [url=http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-157-arc]157-ARC[/url] and [url=http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-914]914.[/url]

Fill this in more. It annoys me to see censored text and [DATA EXPUNGED] everywhere. Some authors have been using that as an excuse to be lazy, instead of it's purpose. Be creative, fill that shit in. This isn't highly secret stuff, if you were a researcher working on an SCP this is information you would want readily available to you.

I don't get the reason why you censored the decade on the last date. Why is it alright for a researcher to know that it is indicated the weapon manufactured in the 1870s but then say that it may have been created any time in the 1800s. It doesn't make sense to me.
[editline]26th September 2011[/editline]
Also somewhere you should include protocol for testing it. How many hours can a person test it? Are there any special safety protocol to mention? What about psychological screening afterwards? Can a person test on it long term(over the course of months)?
[editline]26th September 2011[/editline]
Also wouldn't this classify more as a "Euclid" since the mechanisms are unknown and the psychological aspect of it seems slightly dangerous and unpredictable? Maybe since you have an idea of how it is supposed to be handled reliably it can be considered "Safe".
Didn't fill out specifics becuase I haven't decided on then yet, I'll address pretty much all of your concerns if I put it on the site for real. I wanted to get some suggestions like that before I did though, so thanks!

It's definitely a solid idea and a decent post. You get those things figured out and it is a definitely a valuable contribution.
I haven't seen this one mentioned yet.
[url]http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-775[/url]
It's the only one that's appeared in my nightmares, and re-reading it still makes me feel like there's something crawling up my legs. I fucking hate ticks.
"I've been killed thirty-seven times in the last week. They can smell me, somehow, regardless of what body I'm in. The majority decision of the remaining 05s is that this is an XK, and they're gonna deal with the problem, or the Russians are. They're evacuating this base, which means there won't be a single Foundation scientist anywhere in the New World. They say they're gonna try to evacuate the surviving civilians, but I doubt it. There can't be more than a couple hundred people in all of North America.
The only good news is that about 150 of the bastards teamed up and ripped SCP-682 apart. Brought a smile to my face."
[B]Fucking 173.[/B]
That log really ruins it for me.
Besides, if that thing got out it'd be keter on it's own. Only reason we're still alive is luck and coincidence that the foundation figured it out and had the resources to contain it.

That log made it fucking terrifying for me. With its current canon status, it's not a threat to much of anybody, short of insane incompetence(knowing the Foundation, this is a very real possibility though). Now if it reproduced and had a hivemind? Just 1 instance of it losing containment means bye bye humanity. Plus the whole depopulation NA in a few days thing really brought it home.
[QUOTE=Bombardier.;32481065]Remember SCP-173? Yes, the creepy-as-all-hell Euclid that snaps your neck when you're not looking. Well, someone made a revised article of [URL=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/revised-entry]what would happen if it replicated exponentially and escaped.[/url]
Also found this video on TVtropes, which is supposedly of SCP-173 in action. Too bad I'm too much of a pussy to watch the video and verify it.

[url=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-662]SCP-662[/url] was a good read, though. Wasn't creepy, and I enjoyed it.[/QUOTE]
it's just an animated thing but it captures the essence of what makes 173 scary perfectly
I'm scared now
[QUOTE=strayebyrd;32487261]it's just an animated thing but it captures the essence of what makes 173 scary perfectly[/QUOTE]I'm not really a fan of that short; mostly because of the multiple shots with 173 moving around.
Not being able to ever perceive it "in action" is, well, a fairly big point of the thing.

One of the best SCP by far, only 093 is better.
hey about the scp 173 what if you blink one eye at a time? lmao i bet those assholes didn't see that coming

Item description: Pop-top aluminum can containing liquid, labeling in archaic French. After obtaining translation, the item was revealed to be Durian-flavored soda with Mountain Dew branding. D-84330 was instructed to drink the liquid. After cleanup, research proved that despite the insistence of D-class subject that "that [REDACTED] has got to be some kind of alien [REDACTED]", product was in line with earth Durian flavoring.

It's funny because it's true. Durian tastes like shit and gives out a terrible smell
Jesus fucking christ, i found the artist who made the SCP-173 sculpture

That's him or some guy POSING WITH THE ORIGINAL
Google Izumi Kato and enlarge a picture.
Who calls this art? I find this disturbing in tons of levels.
This is one of the interesting SCP's, not in the sense of the SCP itself, but the bit of "lore" it reveals within itself, with good details and little things here and there. [url]http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-741[/url]
Why I can't help but think that the "secret faction" the soviets were trying to destroy is somekind of Bob Page industries - type villains?

I mean, the SCP that's the green ball which secretes a green fluid or something. The entire article it's all like "DON'T LET IT TOUCH BODIES BLAH BLAH", and then censored the reason why.

That's what makes it such great art, you can't help but be forced to endure a feeling that the artist wanted you to. Regardless of how horrible said feeling is, the fact is...
you just can't look away. :v:

That's what makes it interesting. Youread it, and feel all like "BUT WHAT DOES IT DO, FUCK"
It's definitely not mere zombies. There's another SCP that is pretty much "the" zombie virus.

There's always that unique punch the words "Nuclear bombardment" delivers when accompied with "No survivors"
I have to ask it now thought; why didn't the foundation terminate the SCP-173 with conventional means in the first place? It had no purpose except to kill.
Perhaps they couldn't find a contained method of killing it.

Well this is a revised version of the page, that's probably why it isn't the official page.
