Doctor Monroe, DrMonToTheRoe joined #thecritters to… the best estimate I've got on here is sea lion crit. Eventually made an inappropriate comment, and when they were told "dude no," they replied with "dude yes." Zyn kicked, and asked me to log.
DrMonToTheRoe> Hello!
9:59 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> Just needed to share that.
9:59 PM <•Zyn> >
18:48 LoveTheVoid This is supposed to be the first in a "series", so some lack of understanding is … wanted? Expected?
10:00 PM Sure, but that doesn't mean the concept is good
10:00 PM <YeahRight> That's wonderful. Mechanical Keyboards are wonderful.
10:00 PM <•Zyn> nor does it obligate readers to enjoy something intentionally partial
10:01 PM <LoveTheVoid> True, true
10:01 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> While I might not know what was shared. As a rule, while it's good not to FINISH a story in the first part, write it like a story. Make it have a hook, but make it have a cliffhanger.
10:02 PM <LoveTheVoid> That is exactly what I tried to do
10:02 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Have enough of a plot in mind where you don't have 90% fluff, otherwise like Lord of the Flies, many people will hate it, find a good mix.
10:02 PM → RadioactiveRADs joined ⇐ CStark quit
10:04 PM <LoveTheVoid> Guess it's back to the story board
10:04 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> I'm sorry that I can't give examples. I joined late and thus I'm not sure what happened, I can only give suggestions based on what I've heard.
10:04 PM <LoveTheVoid> http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12131815/fifthist-pattern-screamer-collabcon-tale-idea#post-4289195 here's the link
10:05 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Also, a good writing technique is starting out in a point later in the story, then flashing back to present time. The Maze Runner series demonstrates that wonderfully.
10:05 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> LoveTheVoid: Will get to it in a moment.
10:06 PM <LoveTheVoid> RockTeethMothEyes: Thank you!
10:06 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> It also helps to fill the first book as an introduction while rewarding readers with such.
10:06 PM <RadioactiveRADs> anyone free to critique my draft
10:07 PM <LoveTheVoid> DrMonToTheRoe: That's kind of what we're doing with our Collabcon pieces. My piece will be first, with it's confusion and weird shit, then my partner will come in with their explanation set earlier in time.
10:09 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Hmm, I kind of like it, but then you need a way to explain it. Also, please don't have it so fast paced, honestly I had trouble since, unlike an official book, the idea sounded quick. I have no doubt you could execute it well, it's just that base ideas tend to do that when events are laid out. I understand wanting it to be confusing, but instead of using fifthism and void and such, you can describe it in more base terms.

10:31 PM <Mewltiverse> What’s funny I’m linking you facts
10:31 PM <•Zyn> ", the mind of the subject is wiped, and that of Dr. Bright is projected from 963-1 onto the subject. "
10:31 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Mew it is not at all caused by child abuse. DID can be caused by a number of stuff, not to mention that this is the SCP universe
10:31 PM <•Zyn> "If a subject maintains contact for thirty (30) days, their brain functions become a duplicate of the late Dr. Bright's. If 963-1 is removed after this time period, the subject retains an independent copy of the consciousness of Jack Bright."
10:31 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Well, not all caused by*
10:31 PM <•Zyn> it doesn't look like multiple personalities are present
10:31 PM it's just Bright
10:31 PM <Mewltiverse> You don’t want to test my knowledge on DID
10:31 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> Mewltiverse: What's the issue here?
10:32 PM <•Zyn> Mewltiverse: chill, bro
10:32 PM <Mewltiverse> Sorry
10:32 PM I need to chill
10:32 PM Aaaaa
10:32 PM — Mewltiverse chills
10:32 PM <Mewltiverse> I’m sorry for getting worked up.
10:32 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> And I was just trying to elaborate based off what I was told.
10:32 PM <•Zyn> we seem to have gone from "does the Bright amulet cause split personality" to discussing DID
10:33 PM DrMonToTheRoe: based on the article, it seems like the Bright amulet does not cause a split personality since the original person is overwritten
10:33 PM <Mewltiverse> Split personality in fiction has always bothered me,, ;;
10:33 PM I’m so sorry
10:33 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> Understandably so. Most people do it wrong.
10:33 PM <Mewltiverse> True
10:33 PM <•Zyn> Mewltiverse: I've got a psyc degree. :P
10:33 PM <ihp> anyone got time to read some collabcon stuff?
10:33 PM It's Chicago Spirit x Factory
10:34 PM <•Zyn> Mewltiverse: I get bothered by incorrectly portrayed psyc stuff a lot
10:34 PM but hey, see it as an informational opportunity, not as a maddening opportunity
10:34 PM <Mewltiverse> So when I heard the term I switched to “info mode” I’m sorry if caused any trouble haha
10:34 PM <•Zyn> on that note
10:34 PM god I want buttered toast
10:34 PM <naepicfael> RockTeethMothEyes: I think I've finally gone too absurd for collabcon
10:34 PM — •Zyn goes to obtain buttered toast
10:35 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Same, I know a lot of people, myself included, who have a lot of these wrongly portrayed things. I'm okay with you expressing your opinion though
10:35 PM Zyn, yo, how did you do that my dude.
10:35 PM <Mewltiverse> Zyn: oo a Psych degree? Nice that’s what I want to go for
10:35 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> naepicfael: It's been a week since I last been on IRc to see you speak of it, so I don't doubt it.
10:35 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> I'm literally having buttered toast right now
10:35 PM <naepicfael> So you remember Nevryn, right?
10:35 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> How could I forget
10:35 PM <Mewltiverse> I see so many wrongly portrayed disorders and I get worked up I have to get people to calm me down
10:36 PM Like right then
10:36 PM <naepicfael> His boss is a lich, he's teaming up with a gung-ho CotBG wizard against Mother Who Demands One's Toes, and he's being arrested by a lawyer from Three Moons

10:36 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Nae, what
10:37 PM That is kind of beyond my help, mi hombre
10:37 PM <Mewltiverse> Back on track, I still do need help tho I need to know how to tackle that cause this is so series one but I don’t know how to say what I want to
10:37 PM — Mewltiverse feels bad for being rude
10:38 PM <naepicfael> DrMonToTheRoe: this honestly isn't the MOST absurd thing I've work on, but it's shoved me past the point of no return
10:38 PM — Mewltiverse ‘s crippling anxiety attacks
10:38 PM <•Zyn> Mewltiverse: just say that you personally have seen a lot of similar things flop
10:38 PM NatVolt → NightVolt
10:38 PM <Mewltiverse> Zyn: good idea
10:38 PM <•Zyn> and maybe link them to the "what not to do" guide and the crosslinks guide
10:38 PM also note that there's no reason to use Bright as opposed to literally any other qualified researcher

10:39 PM <Mewltiverse> It’s the last concept I put a place holder on haha I need to get it done
10:39 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> That's amazing
10:39 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Well, based on what you said, something along the lines of, "I don't think that would work because of 35 and Bright both being from different series' and would need to be updated or matched.
10:39 PM <•Zyn> yeah, there's no reason to endanger the 963 anomaly by running a crosstest
10:39 PM DrMonToTheRoe: they're not in different series
10:39 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> Also I need to write a lich sometime. I just… want some necromancy.

10:39 PM <•Zyn> DrMonToTheRoe: nor is the issue that the articles are from different series
10:39 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> I have two different ideas for lichs.
10:39 PM <naepicfael> RockTeethMothEyes: in fact, I think the only reasonable character in the entire thing is the Mother Who Demands One's Toes
10:39 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> both of which I will keep to myself until I am ready.
10:40 PM <•Zyn> DrMonToTheRoe: I think you may be somewhat misreading stuff here?
10:40 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Outdated series' and need to be updated
10:40 PM <naepicfael> RockTeethMothEyes: go forth with that Bromance thing
10:40 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> I WILL
10:40 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> But that's primarily what I was told from Mew

10:40 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> So New did not primarily complain about that?
10:40 PM <•Zyn> DrMonToTheRoe: there's no reason whatsoever to update a Series I article just so you can write a tale about it
10:41 PM the issue isn't that the series is outdated
10:41 PM it's that articles from it are overused
10:41 PM <Mewltiverse> I never said they were from different series
10:41 PM <•Zyn> compare the tales listing for Series I to all the others
10:41 PM <LoveTheVoid> Alright, greenlights have been obtained, time to crit the true tale: http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/lovethevoid

10:42 PM <Mewltiverse> I’m on a phone too and we’re just trying to explain things aaa
10:42 PM <•Zyn> misinterpretations happen much more often if you rush
10:43 PM <AKFrost> been meaning to ask
10:43 PM <Mewltiverse> True
10:43 PM <AKFrost> is there literally no tales based on series v?
10:43 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Then don't push 4 messages at me at once.
10:43 PM <LoveTheVoid> AKFrost: I'm sure that there were a few based off of taboo
10:43 PM *Taboo
10:43 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> It wasn't a misinterpretation, I'm just a dumb a and typed the incorrect thing
10:43 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> AKFrost: The series tales lists are compioled when we move to the next series
10:44 PM <Mewltiverse> AKFrost: I’m planing on writing one based on one of my own SCPs
10:44 PM <AKFrost> rtme: ah, got it
10:44 PM <naepicfael> RockTeethMothEyes: the only thing is, I have no clue how I will fit the Foundation into this cesspit of bullshit

10:45 PM <naepicfael> You have a lich and a robot templar fighting back to back against Sarkic abominations

10:46 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> It's a good read. I recommend it.
10:46 PM <•Zyn> Dude, it's a chatroom
10:47 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> It was just a rushed response in order to provide what was meant to be seen as a snappy/mildly annoyed comeback and a quick reply. I know it's a chat room.
10:47 PM <•Zyn> DrMonToTheRoe: and honestly, it really does look like several misinterpretations. Unless you mistyped several times.
10:48 PM which is totally fine. It happens.
10:48 PM <naepicfael> RockTeethMothEyes: Alabaster, the metal wizard, robs a graveyard to obtain an ancient weapon, and only succeeds in blowing himself up
10:48 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> STOP TELLING ME THESE SUPER FUN THINGS
10:48 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Cheers for the sarcasm. Mew said something along the lines of the writing being outdated.
10:48 PM <naepicfael> These are just fragments of our tale lol
10:48 PM <•Zyn> DrMonToTheRoe: take a breath, and ask that someone converse with you via PMs if it's getting tough to follow with a phone.
10:48 PM <naepicfael> The tale we haven't even worked on
10:48 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> He wanted to know how to phrase it. I tried to help, apparently fecked up.
10:49 PM Zyn, please stop trying to troll por favor.
10:49 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> DrMonToTheRoe: Two things.
10:49 PM DrMonToTheRoe: She's not trolling you. She's giving you legit advice here.
10:49 PM Second, if I recall correctly, Mew is a she.
10:50 PM <•Zyn> DrMonToTheRoe: I think you're reading malice into comments where there is none.
10:50 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> With a rather condescending use of words. And I don't know everyone's pronouns, sorry, I will remember that.
10:50 PM <•Zyn> >
With a rather condescending use of words
10:50 PM Whoa there
10:50 PM I'm serious, I think you need to step away from the screen and cool down a bit.
10:51 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> "Seems you misspelled a couple times" "Take a breath…"
10:51 PM <•Zyn> Yeah
10:51 PM Multiple iterations
10:51 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> I'm not mad, just pointing out rather obvious connotations
10:51 PM <•Zyn> and legit suggestion to relax a bit
10:51 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> LoveTheVoid: Just for the record, I'm currently working through reading your thing. I just get distracted super easily.
10:51 PM <LoveTheVoid> RockTeethMothEyes: It's fine
10:51 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Maybe it's just a joke and I just got whooshed. But I just thought it was an insult, but honestly I'm not really mad or anything?
10:52 PM <•Zyn> DrMonToTheRoe: no joke, no insult
10:52 PM <RockTeethMothEyes> LoveTheVoid: Also, you are very lucky that I am doing this since I'm at the ass-end of my vacation and I'm not even home yet lol
10:52 PM <•Zyn> again—any malice that's being attributed here seems to be moreso on your end.
10:52 PM <LoveTheVoid> RockTeethMothEyes: I'll consider myself lucky then
10:52 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> I'm just attempting to drop a mistake to be honest, and it feels like a whole pound of Epson salt is getting rubbed into it.
10:52 PM <•Zyn> Then let it drop
10:53 PM you're the one who repeatedly asked us to act differently and told me to stop trying to troll.
10:53 PM Anyway.
10:53 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Let it drop*
10:53 PM <•Zyn> I'm going to head off for dinner.
10:53 PM DrMonToTheRoe: yeah, see
10:53 PM stuff like that
10:54 PM <Mewltiverse> I was attempting to give legit advice: if you don’t like it, you don’t have to take it. That’s alright. I’m sorry I didn’t help you out.
10:54 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> I'm just gonna stop talking about it otherwise he will keep playing me as an annoyed typist.
10:54 PM <Mewltiverse> And yes, I am a she
10:54 PM <•Zyn> Both of us are
10:54 PM Actually, question
10:54 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> I am more than open to being told what was wrong though. In constructive criticism.
10:54 PM <•Zyn> DrMonToTheRoe: why did you join?
10:54 PM I don't recall seeing you here before
10:54 PM and it seems like you've just been poking people unnecessarily
10:54 PM <Mewltiverse> DrMonToTheRoe: It was constructive
10:55 PM <•Zyn> and getting angry in response when conversation occurs.
10:55 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> To get story help, to offer some help as of recently. As for the poking, I've been rather casual and I'm being rather casual about my phrasing and sentences and it seems you're taking it a bit too far.
10:55 PM <Mewltiverse> I may have gotten snappy at a point and I apologize for that, like I’m really sorry I got worked up but I truly was trying to inform and help you
10:56 PM <DrMonToTheRoe> Nono, you're fine Mew, in fact I would love to talk to you both about it! Maybe I'm just a bit worked up.
10:56 PM <•Zyn> I need to eat dinner, and after that I have a backlog of threads and other admin duties.
10:56 PM I will be around if anyone else wants a review from me specifically, in the meantime I will be lurking here while I eat.
