By Vague, I mean something really vague, the first guy said "Cosmic Stapler" that was good, the rock thing was good too. Don't give it an effect, I'll make that up, just put an adjective in front of an object and toss it at me.

A banana that you can infinitely peel.

Dammit read the posts, it's pointless for me to make up an SCP with an object that already has an effect.

Killer Napkin Paradox Fuzzy Dice There you go.

[QUOTE=Spycrabz;32649925]Handcuffs of servitude [sp]kinky[/sp][/QUOTE] Item #: SCP-XXX Obect Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be locked inside a safe with the combination only accessible by Level 4 Personnel. Description: SCP-XXX is a pair of seemingly normal S&W handcuffs, except for the fact that one cuff is colored red, and the chain is not present. Its effect is apparent when the red cuff is cuffed on a subject's(or victim's) wrist, and the one wishing to utilize its effect has the other cuff on their own wrist(Hereby referred to as the commander.). When the subject is under the effect of SCP-XXX, they gain a telepathic link to the commander. As soon as this link is established, the victim appears to willingly obey any command from the commander, both verbally and telepathically. If the victim completed the command given to it by the commander, a rush of dopamine is observed, conditioning the victim for compliance of the commander's orders even while not under the effects of SCP-XXX. Please see Addendum-XXX-001 for testing logs. SCP-XXX was discovered in ██████████ ███████ prison, where it was being used to condition the prisoners to comply to the Warden's orders. Prisoner compliance was reported at 100%. -------- Test #1 Name: Dr.Amor Subject: D-10V3 Details: Red cuff was cuffed onto D-10V3's left wrist, while the other cuff was cuffed onto Dr.Amor's left wrist. Dr.Amor then proceeded to order D-10V3 to complete a list of mundane, easily done tasks, both verbally and telepathically. Dr.Amor reports that the tasks were completed quickly and efficiently. Subject reported to feel elation at the praise of Dr.Amor. [I] We can use this as our control test, any differences from this test should be noted.[/I] - Dr.Amor --- Test #2 Name: Dr.Amor Subject: D-H4T3 Details: Red cuff was cuffed onto D-H4T3's left wrist, while the other cuff was cuffed onto Dr.Amor's left wrist. Dr.Amor then proceeded to order D-H4T3 to jump 40 feet in the air. Subject was unable to complete said task and felt extreme shame at this fact. [I]Well, it seems we can't make anyone do anything out of their abilities, a shame. I wanted to use this as the imperius curse.[/I] - Dr.Amor --- Test #3 Name: Dr.Amor Subject: Mr.Deeds Details: [I]Testing aborted due to Mr.Deeds complete compliance to all commands given, test not needed.[/I] --- [I]The next time I see someone stealing SCP-XXX and attaching it to their significant other, they're getting put on Keter duty, forever. [/I]- O5-██ --------- Blech, I'm tired, don't think this one came out as good as the others.

You're god.

Keter duty, how very clichè

I think I read something in the forums about how you shouldn't put "personnel caught doing [whatever] will be reassigned to Keter duty/class-D" in the newer stories, because when the older ones were written it was funny and acceptable but now it's just overused.

Hello, Doctor Mann here, one of the admins from the SCP Foundation, and author of such SCPs as 423, 5308-J, and 774. Someone linked me here, and I thought I'd reply to a few points made in this thread. First off, 682. Yeah, his testing log needs some pruning. Both 682 and 914 need to have their logs trimmed every once in a while to remove the more over-the-top or retarded entries. You have to understand, [i]anyone[/i] can edit those logs, so long as they're a member. At some point, we'll go through again and remove the more nonsensical ones. If there's no way for 682 to survive without a complete ass-pull, it shouldn't be on the testing log. And no, we will never kill the lizard. The point of the article is to have it survive whatever we throw at it (so long as it's not a complete ass-pull). Keep in mind, the articles are all "in progress" from an in-universe standpoint (and may even be an old version). So the idea isn't necessarily that the reptile [i]can't[/i] be killed, just that we haven't found a good method of doing so yet. A lot of ways that would probably work are also probably too difficult to be worth it. A nuke, for example, would probably kill it. On the other hand, despite what some of the articles suggest, a nuclear explosion is not something that can easily be covered up, and if it [i]didn't[/i] work, it would probably give 682 a chance to escape (and now he's radioactive). Using SCPs can sometimes lead to more trouble than it's worth. For example, his friendship with the 079 is probably going to come and bite us in the ass one of these days. Now, joining the site. Somewhere between half and three-quarters of applications are accepted. Most days, it's closer to three-quarters. I'm not the one who actually approves the applications (that's Bright), but I can give you a better idea of what you can say to keep your application from being ash-canned. First of all, don't post in-character, or third-person, or any of that. We're not looking at your super-duper alter-ego researcher you're planning. We're looking at you, and what you hope to accomplish on the site. Don't try to hard to impress us, either. Telling us that you're the smartest kid in your school isn't likely to make us hopeful about your involvement with the site. All we want to know is whether or not you intend to contribute. Do you plan to write some articles? Comment on them? Do you want to be able to vote on the articles, and maybe talk about what makes a good SCP? That's the sort of thing we're looking for. We're not looking for your magnum opus Warehouse 13 fic, or the awards you won in your creative writing class. We're not looking for someone who's going to have lots of wacky hi-jinx. We just want someone who will contribute. Finally, for those who do join up, odds are, your first SCP is going to get deleted. Some people come in and just magically get the tone and the feel of the site (like Tanhony), but most take a while. Don't worry about it. Even Bright, Clef, and Gears have had articles deleted. Just be willing to listen to advice. One thing that will help is sharing it in chat or on the forum. Listen to the advice you get. Some people may be a bit acerbic, but they're criticizing your idea, not you. If someone says it's retarded, understand that they're not calling [i]you[/i] retarded. And remember that it's only by trying and failing that we get better.

In fact, that would be a great way to dispose of around 98% of the SCPs that cause problems.

[QUOTE=RagerTrader;32654254]On the point of killing off 682, which you said won't ever happen... Why not just launch him into the sun or something? In fact, that would be a great way to dispose of around 98% of the SCPs that cause problems.[/QUOTE] I'd imagine that wouldn't be worth the effort expended in creating the rocket. I mean, 682's annoying as fuck and if he gets out he kills a lot of people, but it probably isn't worth building a rocket good enough to get to the sun when the SCP in the next room could potentially kill him for good.

Geo, my advice is to go into the chat and ask for advice on it. That's #site19 on synirc.net, and you don't have to be a wiki member to go in there. Off the top of my head, some of it seems kind of random. What do you mean it "sows" the paper? It scatters it around? Secondly, the sound of the dying whatever feels like it was just tossed in for the hell of it to make it a little creepier. Tone also seems a bit off. But that's just off the top of my head. Head into chat, get some advice there. They'll sort you out. Rager, the sun-launcher is a -J, a joke article. Nothing is actually canon, but -Js are even less canon than other articles. Without the sun launcher, there's no easy way for the Foundation to throw things into space. Strap him onto a rocket, and he'll probably destroy the rocket before it breaks atmosphere, and will likely survive impact. Another thing to remember is that destruction is generally the [i]last[/i] resort for an anomalous item. An item is only considered for destruction if the Foundation feels it's either too dangerous or too expensive to keep around. Considering the resources the Foundation has at its disposal, that generally takes some doing. That's why they don't destroy 173, even though all you'd really need is a hammer and a bunch of witnesses.

I probably will never submit an application because I only read the SCP's, and, I can't get any good ideas for an SCP that wouldn't be too ridiculous.

Why don't they just label scp-684 scp-48? Bam, 682 ceases to exist.

Had an idea for an SCP, wondering if there is anything like it- A mascot of unknown origin, that can only be seen by children or those with mental deficiencies. Gradually as children become older, he becomes less noticeable, and eventually disappears from memory entirely. May be better if the mascot had a cheap looking/generally creepy design, like something from Candle Cove.

I've noticed there are some rather mundane SCPs, which I think is kind of nice because they serve to counterbalance the number of bizarre or absurdly destructive things. For example, the memetic toaster, or the animated Legos.
