[Arrogant_Schmuck]

So... is Kondraki still getting downgraded or nah?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Nah

 

[WeeklyBattles]

That feat is Wall level for the vast majority of fiction, as explained by DontTalk in the same blog.

^ This ^
I was incredibly confused by that, as 9-Bs do that all the time.

I S T I L L N E E D L I N K S

Im workin on it, i kina took an impromptu nap

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Sweet!

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Also I didn't know Kars was an SCP

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/SCP-682?oldid=2788451

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Awesome. Make sure to get some sleep, sorry for bugging ya.

P.S.: I'm not trying to downgrade, I'm actually gonna see if I can calc the feats and have non-baseline SCP be a thing.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Its aight, its actually a good thing that i went back through 682's tales because i found one where 682 was undamaged by natural lightning which further support's its tier

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Lightning can actually be 9-A, from what I'm aware of. For example, Isaac O'Connor from Paranatural is able to make real lightning, but it was determined to be 9-A as that was more consistent to his other feats. Also lightning is Building+, not large Building.

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Dargoo_Faust/Paranatural_Calcs

At least, going off of what Zany told me.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Natural lightning is 8-C+

Reason it supports 682's tier is because 682 was undamaged by it

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Lightning Dodging Feats

Natural lightning is 5 billion joules, or 1.19 tons of tnt

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Ah, gotcha. I'd still message Zany about it, apparently there was discussion about that.

If you find any other feats, make sure to put em up here and I'll calc them if I can.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

I spent too much time getting abilities to do the calc, I'll post it tomorrow as I'm now very tired.

Decided to do a Respect Thread, but not a Respect Thread.

[WeeklyBattles]

682 is undamaged by natural lightning

682 destroyed a small skyscraper in NYC

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

so, UHHHHHHH

 

[Agnaa]

Yep. Letting people delete their stuff is more of a courtesy- a creative commons license can't be retracted.

hmm

 

[Cain_Fastus]

How strong is scp 1584

 

[Cain_Fastus]

Also, the new Hateful Star seems stronger than the old one.

You have no idea my dude

Eloabrate!

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Cain Its tier 1 now instead of tier 4

 

[WeeklyBattles]

so, UHHHHHHH

So 2722 got stolen and 1548 died

Good ways to explain them disappearing i guess

 

[CrimsonStarFallen]

so, UHHHHHHH

Man, that is sad as shit.

 

[Holyhotsauce]

so, UHHHHHHH

So 2722 got stolen and 1548 died
Good ways to explain them disappearing i guess

Looks like 682 is gonna get a rewrite as well.

RIP.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Bullshit

 

[Holyhotsauce]

Bullshit

 

[Phoenix821]

Isn't 682 like one of the more popular SCPs?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Bruh

A rewrite isnt a removal

A rewrite is like what they did to 049

682 is too iconic to remove

 

[Phoenix821]

Do you think 914 could ever get a page?

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

Kinda disappointed in some of the new standards on/direction of the foundation's site, to be honest. Oh well.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Bullshit

 

[Kepekley23]

Kinda disappointed in some of the new standards on/direction of the foundation's site, to be honest. Oh well.

Yeah, Kaktus and Bright are both assholes. Only Zyn is any good, to be honest.

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

At least we still have this skip.

...wait.

*puts gun in mouth*

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

They removed the rating module?

Pffft. I honestly don't care about the politics but making an SCP immune from critique is crossing a line.

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

I've never liked the idea of trying to equate stuff like "this sux and is gay" with actual criticism, and then using it as a way to preemptively shut down actual critique.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Well, I'm glad this wiki stays as far away from that Rabbit Hole as possible.

 

[Wokistan]

Wasn't the controversy about 2721 what prompted people to break off and form RCP?

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

@Wok

It might have been one of the last straws for some people, but the foundation's management has been shifting for quite some time, and not everyone is too happy with the way things are going.

Ignoring the politics, I think quite a few things from a writing perspective have been getting notably worse due to some of the new mentalities.

 

[The_Everlasting]

What happened with 2721?

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

What happened with 2721?

People didn't like it, a lot of that was just randomly grouped under "trolling" by the creator and mods, and then its rating function was disabled so people couldn't as easily see how much it was disliked. Needless to say, a lot of people weren't happy about this.

There's probably a bit more, but this is what I remember.

 

[Agnaa]

The rating module was specifically moved from it because a youtuber with a few hundred thousand subs made a video on the recent SCPWiki drama, also bringing up article 2721. After that, a lot of existing/dormant accounts on the wiki started downvoting 2721.

Whether this is due to brigading or just having it brought to their attention and not liking it, it's tough to tell, but the staff decided to shut down ratings for it anyway.

@Azathoth What are the new changes with the writing mentality? I haven't actually been keeping up with much meta stuff about the SCPwiki.

 

[Holyhotsauce]

Also, Hateful Star is now RPC-548.
