The Death of SCP

Also known as "If The Horse Is Being Beaten This Much, Maybe It's Time We Just Let It Die, As Nature Intended". Summary In the past, we have repeatedly debated whether or not the SCP Foundation (and verses very similar to it) had a place on this wiki. Concerns on this front were largely based...

I am pretty sure that the debate will not end well for both sides.

I have a feeling LOTS (if not maybe a Couple) of members from the vs battle wiki community will leave after this

 

[Wardokman69]

So it's over eh?

pretty much most mods hate scp and will just vote to delete it

Shame, the SCP has been in this wiki longer than these relatively new appointed mods.

 

[The_one_you_least_expect]

Never thought I’d see scp possible getting deleted. Also kinda weird that it’s only staff but whatever

I feel like, because it's such a significant verse a staff-only thread is necessary, without that I feel like many blue names would just flood in and turn it into a 50-page thread.

True, but for such a big verse it kinda sucks no blue names can voice there opinion

You can ask staff for permission to comment there. There were a couple blue names in the thread from what I recall.

Saikou hasn't replied yet (It will be an essay probably), so don't go "It's joever" just yet.

Dawg, the votes are 11-4 rn

Y'all are cooked ngl

I'm trying to give you folks some hope, some of the biggest supporters haven't really made any counter arguments right now, like Sir Ovens and Saikou. Yes it looks bleak, but it can change.

I don’t think Saikou is cooking

One thing I am curious about is that don’t most of this “powerscaler” articles have only like 10-20 something upvotes? Can’t we just raise are standards so that any article that can profiled has an actual narrative and story? And isn’t just bottom of the barrel stuff?

 

[Westcoast5005]

What’s the point of deleting the verse tho
If they are too overpowered because they have knowledge of the wiki does that affect anyone

It supposely breaks the rules and standards of the wiki. Since anyone can come and write something half decent with the intention of tiershit in it apparently.

And why is that a problem

 

[Huesito88]

We lose our integrity

 

[Westcoast5005]

What integrity this just about debating fictional character strength not how good a story is

 

[Westcoast5005]

If that’s the case many verse should be removed because the story are bad and it feels like power scaling.

No no they shouldn't

 

[Westcoast5005]

No no they shouldn't

Am just saying if they do that to scp they should treat emerging the same

 

[Javenplayz253]

I guess

 

[HigashikataJobin]

And why is that a problem

Because with that in mind anyone who wants to make a powerful character just so it can be included among the "most powerful" on this website can do it, and this type of thing is called "Battlewank Verse", whereas the verse is created only with the intention to be as much powerful as it can be to be put against other verses and win. SCP wasn't created with this objective but eventually became this unfortunely.

Still, this would be extremely difficult and would require much more attention from the supporters or even a whole new team of people just to filter the things, and even them someone can create a story focused on narrative but also put the things necessary to upgrade the verse in a hideous way. And even if they accepted the proposal to remove all 1-A tier and above SCPs they could even after that focus on upgrading the verse based on hax so their characters will still be unbeatable.

It would literally be the exact opposite of difficult. We would barley have to do anything sense there would be fair less people trying to “game” the system and anyone the some how got up to 100 upvotes with powerscaling slop would be extremely easy to point out and ban

 

[Itzmrbonezone]

Well chooms

SCP has reached CHIM and is getting dwemer'd out of existence

 

[Vyfourthaccount]

Goodbye SCP, I will miss you thanks for helping me in scaling stuff and I Honestly hope that one day SCP returns to the wiki which is probably not going to happen

 

[Kerrakton]

Goodbye SCP

 

[Padaruyos]

Farewell SCP, it's been quite a ride in this wiki hasn't it?

 

[Huesito88]

Finally you guys finally killed SCP-682!

 

[Javenplayz253]

I'm Boundless now confirmed

 

[Undylan]
