Unsafe place

>It's like a corporation
>Fictional

So it's either a shadow corporation or it's just people playing pretend. Interesting. So members of this organization? I take it they basically have to remain secretive? Do they get paid for this job? Do they just randomly go into the woods to hunt monsters and aliens? Using what? Guns?

It's more like a men in black kind of deal.
There are whole strikeforces that contain whole towns, cordon off areas and hunt creatures

A SCP that is weak and harmless but who´s whole porpose is to mess with the field codes, would be safe or keter?

Depends on if they can contain it or not.
Keter is for SCP that are impossible or impractical to contain

user’s wrong when he says it’s a corporation, it’s more like the idea of Men in Black who receive massive funding from most of the nations in world, so secretive that not even most world leaders know about them.
They investigate reports and incidents involving the paranormal and move in to capture or contain it, before hiding it away from public eye so they can research what’s so bizarre about the anomaly they had to catch.
One common notion in the site’s history is the idea of necessary cruelty, where even if the victims of these anomalies are suffering or the anomalies themselves are thinking and conscience beings, they should still be detained and researched indefinitely for the betterment of mankind and to keep them from harming the world. Maintaining the illusion that the world is perfectly normal and there are no monsters and deities hiding in your neighborhood is their mission goal basically

There's multiple games created based on this universe, it's just set dressing for the most part though.

As the other guy stated, it quickly went to shit when it became popular with and infested by the tumblr and tranny crowd.

Best to just dive in and read some articles, try some of the games

Please stop responding to me. You clearly have no idea what I'm asking or what we're talking about.

Wonder how they find members? Probably gotta take a practical exam I guess.

Nah the foundation doesnt receive that much funding, most of it comes from commercializing some safe anomalous objects, like when they were trying to find a way to make that green stuff that cant touch dead bodies safe to sell.

The response I expected from someone that browses and lurks on /x/.

Where is the "scp has been misgendered" code?

The UN thing is the government funded one, the foundation siphons money off of various corporations. There's also a FBI/CIA branch that's always hilariously underfunded/equipped

Look through the tales, there's a lot of lore building around how the actual logistics of such an organization might function.

Foundation lore is pretty fucked up and messy in places thanks to the ‘Everything is canon’ rule they imposed a long time ago, so you can say that the Foundation has a Girl Scouts division that sends the profits they make directly to Site 19, and it probably won’t be criticized very much so as long as you throw in some mumbo jumbo to make it look more clinical

It varies between writers, I heard of one where high ranking military personnel and prestigious university professors in cahoots with the Foundation look for promising candidates and, with permission, offer them a position. If they say no they just make them take a Class-A Amnesiac and pretend the whole thing never happened
The most consistent form of recruitment is D-Class though, where death row and life sentenced prisoners are offered freedom if they work on a little bit of ‘community service’
It’s usually presented as a lie though, D-Class are test subjects who are the first to aggravate monsters and haunted locations into showing their anomalous effects. Survivors are either memory wiped and put back on duty, killed off en masse when a month has passed, or just kept around to keep working indefinitely, depending on who’s writing the story you’re reading

I think the website has some info on lore like that.
Might have to go into some user standalone stories rather than the object articles. Beware that there are less quality control depending on your tastes.

In my personal experience the recruitment process is rarely mentioned, most articles describe some specialized scientist in a specific field, security personnel with sometimes a more detailed background, or you D-class which are just death-row convicts from around the world. Regarding the latter, some people like to mention getting them from alternate sources but according to the personnel type page that is not a practice used outside of emergencies.

As for non D-class i imagine some men in black show up and offer the people a secure and well-paying job where they get to work in their field for the good of humanity with the downside being secrecy. Some i imagine wouldn't even need to know all about the SCP foundation, just the need to know stuff in their specific facility.

most of these are terrible symbols. the hobo code is meant to be unreadable so police can't track their movements and advice as easy. especially since some of the codes are "this guy is a sucker" or "police patrol goes this way"

what purpose is there for these codes other than "it's cool and le scarier"?

The only real reason would be if the things they hunted could also read and had access to advanced chalk technology.

Wait I think I fucked up, pretty sure the ‘Everything is canon’ rule is actually more like a ‘Nothing is canon’ rule
Either way there’s almost complete freedom for a writer to do what they want, so as long as their stories and articles pass a quality check from the community. Which I can’t even tell if it’s easier or harder than before, with all the post 2000 SCPs

>Alternate Reality Entered
But what if the alternate reality Foundation uses the same symbol?

Couldn't I just fuck with all of them if I just put the compromised symbol next to everything?

Seems all right to me. All of them would be undecipherable without the captions except 'girl bad' and 'stick together'

If I use these signals for my Space Opera Western do you think anyone would accuse me of being a hack? I just really like the simplicity of the designs; they actually translate really well to the commands

thats actually a good thing because if you don't see that and they are then you are double fucked

It's an open source thing, noone owns the rights to SCP stuff.
It's all volunteered "creativity"

EA could make an SCP game and not have to buy a license from or for anything

It's just modified hobo code so it isnt original

Watch the Sedition videos on youtube, they are a fan project, consisting of interviews to some SCPs, it's really well done and animated

>would be safe or keter?
There is a simple test which works for most cases
>If you lock it in a box, leave it alone, and nothing bad will happen, then it's probably Safe.
>If you lock it in a box, leave it alone, and you're not entirely sure what will happen, then it's probably Euclid.
>If you lock it in a box, leave it alone, and it easily escapes, then it's probably Keter.
>If it is the box, then it's probably Thaumiel.
though in general sapient living things are at minimum Euclid, and being a higher object class doesn't inherently mean more dangerous like for instance a super mega ultra kill everything nuke that just needs to be locked in a box and does nothing would be safe

It doesn't actually have to do anything to mess with the symbols, they just change to whatever it is that the thing would want to need them to be. So for instance it's locked in a box, with warning signs saying to leave it there, those signs would instead be changed to things telling you to open it.

>Wonder how they find members?
They aren't the only ones trying to deal with the "unknown" the FBI has the Unusual Incidents Unit and while to most of the big players in this shadow game they are seen as a joke some of their members are good enough to be bought by the SCP so that's one avenue of recruitment

If it is a thing messing with the field codes like a cursed crayon, a gun, or a helmet or even a location, it would be safe because it is easy to contain.

If it affects the field codes regardless of condition, the field codes themselves is the SCP. And would likely be considered safe as operatives can just not use them.

Could be Euclid if it was memetic or jumped between items or something which made it difficult to contain..

If the SCP can affect field codes on the other side of the planet and cannot be stopped from doing so, Keter.
If the SCP can affect field codes in a localised area and can be discouraged most of the time with proper containment but not all the time, Euclid.
If the SCP can be prevented from affecting field codes by a simple concrete box, Safe.

Yeah it's the one where it was a harmless chair that came to people when they needed a place to sit and the GOC decided to put it through a wood chipper and turned it into teleporting wood spikes that went into the lungs of everyone around it.

So if you're just a normal dude and you manage to take out an SCP, does the SCP foundation give you a job?

Pray to RNG.

typo its supposed to say 'bray' while shooting

Whatever god you think is watching over you
Some SCPs are susceptible to certain religions

In some cases it doesn't matter who/what just so long as it's something

why is that last symbol red

depending on the situation, they'd probably be pissed at you
the SCP foundation considers termination of SCP's as a last resort
the C stands for Contain, after all

>three copies of GET OUT QUICKLY and a DO NOT BE TAKEN ALIVE

generally speaking in the SCP universe, belief has power in certain circumstances, but it does not have to be belief in something specific
that said the foundation does, in these cases, often coopt popular religious symbolism to induce belief in their own agents (who are unaware of this deception, obviously)
need to know is very strictly enforced for damn good reasons

I've read a couple dozen SCP's now but none of the reports use have any use of symbols in them.
Are they for memetics or some shit?

Attached: 1469148647438.png (722x675, 207K)

the entire website operates under loose canon, may works outright conflict eachother so it's up to you to decide if something is canon or not
they've passed 1000+ authors a while back so there's absolutely no way everyone will be aware of everything

reports are different than field commands

Any examples of this?

They're not actually used in really any SCP, they're just a fun thing put together by a random author.

The symbols were originally posted some years ago on the forums. It is up for the individual writers to implement them if they wish, tough i haven't seen anyone do so. I mainly read the older ones so it is possible some of the higher number indexes involves the field codes.

you'd have to go to the tales tab
