2020-03-25 10:00:04 nzsaltz: Ok but why is it an isopod
2020-03-25 10:00:05 SharpEmbrace: Click options below your post.
2020-03-25 10:00:10 AndroidKikaider: Did he post something on the forums?
2020-03-25 10:00:12 Magic8Ball04: no idea
2020-03-25 10:00:12 SharpEmbrace: And then select edit.
2020-03-25 10:00:17 Magic8Ball04: ill workshop it a bit
2020-03-25 10:00:20 nzsaltz: I feel like these are two very separate ideas
2020-03-25 10:00:24 nzsaltz: Neither are bad
2020-03-25 10:00:29 nzsaltz: But they do not work together
2020-03-25 10:00:39 slovak: right thanks
2020-03-25 10:00:47 slovak: yes
2020-03-25 10:00:50 slovak: i posted it on the forum
2020-03-25 10:00:52 AndroidKikaider: Link?
2020-03-25 10:00:58 nzsaltz: For instance: If it's just a big isopod with a stop sign (that does not talk on intercoms) then there's plenty to work with
2020-03-25 10:01:15 slovak: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-13179674/the-forced-blood-donation
2020-03-25 10:01:18 nzsaltz: Just by asking questions you can come up with stuff
2020-03-25 10:01:37 Magic8Ball04: Ill work on it in about an hour
2020-03-25 10:01:45 nzsaltz: For instance: why does it have a stop sign? Maybe because there's a secret human society who keeps these things as pets
2020-03-25 10:02:06 Magic8Ball04: My creative writing teacher wants us to read dystopian fiction and he linked like 20 stories
2020-03-25 10:02:09 Magic8Ball04: gtg i guess
2020-03-25 10:02:12 nzsaltz: Or why is it giant? Maybe because there's an alchemist who created a growth formula
2020-03-25 10:02:16 nzsaltz: Oh wow
2020-03-25 10:02:25 Magic8Ball04: Also thats disturbing and i love it
2020-03-25 10:02:29 Magic8Ball04: Ill write it down
2020-03-25 10:02:30 slovak: w
2020-03-25 10:02:38 slovak: some posts theirs like 2 mins after
2020-03-25 10:02:41 slovak: and they get 3 comments
2020-03-25 10:02:42 slovak: wtf
2020-03-25 10:02:53 nzsaltz: Ok bye! I do think that both ideas have potential on their own, so don't stop
2020-03-25 10:03:08 Magic8Ball04: slovak: How long have you been on the site?
2020-03-25 10:03:22 AndroidKikaider: Be patient, slovak.
2020-03-25 10:03:23 Magic8Ball04: nzsaltz: Thanks and i will
2020-03-25 10:03:31 nzsaltz: No problem
2020-03-25 10:04:11 slovak: all togther?
2020-03-25 10:04:14 slovak: my user you mean or the
2020-03-25 10:04:33 nzsaltz: How long have you talked on the site
2020-03-25 10:04:40 nzsaltz: And made posts
2020-03-25 10:04:49 slovak: well my first wikidot was this 1 so
2020-03-25 10:04:54 slovak: i guess since 2017
2020-03-25 10:04:58 slovak: i had an acc before
2020-03-25 10:05:00 slovak: didnt do anything however
2020-03-25 10:05:33 nzsaltz: Anyways, slovak just be patient. Maybe someone is crafting a super detailed magnum opus of a critique
2020-03-25 10:05:38 nzsaltz: As we speak
2020-03-25 10:05:51 slovak: *goes to page 3*
2020-03-25 10:06:07 slovak: is anyone speaking in the chatroom even
2020-03-25 10:06:13 slovak: able to greenlight
2020-03-25 10:06:21 AndroidKikaider: I'm writing a critique for you.
2020-03-25 10:06:25 AndroidKikaider: Cybersqyd can.
2020-03-25 10:06:34 MalyceGraves: Yo. slovak. Acting entitled about your idea isn't going to make anyone want to critique it any faster
2020-03-25 10:06:44 slovak: yeah ik
2020-03-25 10:06:45 MalyceGraves: We're all volunteers, we don't just exist to service you.
2020-03-25 10:06:47 AndroidKikaider: However, I don't think vhey are willing to give you a greenlight.
2020-03-25 10:06:49 slovak: just bored in this downtime
2020-03-25 10:06:54 slovak: i need critique
2020-03-25 10:06:55 MalyceGraves: That's not our problem
2020-03-25 10:06:58 slovak: great
2020-03-25 10:07:04 cybersqyd: slovak: go read a book or whatever. This kinda thing takes time.
2020-03-25 10:07:17 cybersqyd: It can be a couple of *days* before someone has time to get to your diea
2020-03-25 10:07:20 slovak: **
2020-03-25 10:07:20 **slovak: **
2020-03-25 10:07:21 **slovak: **
2020-03-25 10:07:21 **slovak: **
2020-03-25 10:07:21 **slovak: **
2020-03-25 10:07:23 **slovak: what the hell
2020-03-25 10:07:26 slovak: just happened
2020-03-25 10:07:28 cybersqyd: and you posted it like, 20 minutes ago
2020-03-25 10:07:33 slovak: aight
2020-03-25 10:07:35 slovak: ill go take a nap
2020-03-25 10:07:40 lleapinllamas: sweet dreams
2020-03-25 10:08:04 AndroidKikaider: I wonder how old he is.
2020-03-25 10:08:13 cybersqyd: probably not old enough tbh
2020-03-25 10:08:38 AndroidKikaider: Also, did I get your pronoun, right?
2020-03-25 10:08:42 AndroidKikaider: I don't wanna offend ;~;
2020-03-25 10:08:43 cybersqyd: takes a note: remember to ask slovak how old he is later
2020-03-25 10:08:46 cybersqyd: AndroidKikaider, you're fine dw
2020-03-25 10:08:59 AndroidKikaider: I actually wanted to ask him, but I didn't want to seem rude.
2020-03-25 10:09:05 dankmemescout: the smart move to do when waiting for an article to get critueqed is think of more scp ideas.
2020-03-25 10:09:12 cybersqyd: ehhh
2020-03-25 10:09:17 cybersqyd: the smart move is to refine the idea more
2020-03-25 10:09:32 nzsaltz: dankmemescout: That's what I've been doing and it has not helped
2020-03-25 10:09:44 MalyceGraves: Or, you know, go read more SCP content
2020-03-25 10:09:54 nzsaltz: I agree with that
2020-03-25 10:09:57 cybersqyd: yeah
2020-03-25 10:10:07 MalyceGraves: The single greatest problem I see with most of the SCP ideas is a near-complete lack of understanding of the base content
2020-03-25 10:10:14 cybersqyd: yep
2020-03-25 10:10:16 dankmemescout: cybersqyd: thats fair
2020-03-25 10:10:32 MalyceGraves: People watch a few videos, maybe read a skip or two, and decide that their brilliant idea is ready to go
2020-03-25 10:10:38 nzsaltz: I'll be honest, that's why my idea has little to do with Foundation lore
2020-03-25 10:10:51 nzsaltz: Although I've read way too much of the deep lore stuff
2020-03-25 10:10:52 MalyceGraves: And most people don't actually /want/ critique, they want us to pat them on the head and tell them to post their idea as is
2020-03-25 10:10:56 dankmemescout: MalyceGraves: that makes alota sense
2020-03-25 10:11:16 cybersqyd: folk like to think that they're a good writer and that writing a SCP is easy
2020-03-25 10:11:18 cybersqyd: but it's not
2020-03-25 10:11:36 cybersqyd: it's fun *because* it's hard
2020-03-25 10:11:52 MalyceGraves: ^
2020-03-25 10:11:55 Tracque_: MalyceGraves: I think it depends. Moreso I reckon people just dislike being told their writing is bad
2020-03-25 10:12:06 nzsaltz: I think that's true
2020-03-25 10:12:25 nzsaltz: That's why I don't like telling people that their writing as a whole is bad, I get specific
2020-03-25 10:12:34 dankmemescout: dont quote me but i think there is some phycological study about this kinda stuff
2020-03-25 10:12:39 nzsaltz: I'm sure
2020-03-25 10:12:46 nzsaltz: And I'm no psychologist
2020-03-25 10:12:51 dankmemescout: peapole getting defensive over there creations that is
2020-03-25 10:13:08 Tracque_: Speaking of which, I really need feedback because I just reworked something and I'm not sure about pacing
2020-03-25 10:13:52 nzsaltz: But if you ask me, the best way is instead of saying, "this part is badly written," you should say, "this part drags here, is confusing here, and has grammar errors here, but I like this part of it."
2020-03-25 10:13:54 AndroidKikaider: I added a crit on his post, hopefully it's enough for him.
2020-03-25 10:14:02 AndroidKikaider: I wonder if critting a crit is a thing here.
2020-03-25 10:14:07 nzsaltz: What is it tracque
2020-03-25 10:14:31 MalyceGraves: AndroidKikaider: What do you mean "critting a crit"?
2020-03-25 10:14:35 Tracque_: I resurrected (kinda) and reworked this: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-12976273#post-4478894
2020-03-25 10:14:40 AndroidKikaider: I was just rambling, nothing. lol
2020-03-25 10:14:52 Tracque_: Idk how the pacing is though since it was a pretty major change
2020-03-25 10:14:54 AndroidKikaider: I'm insecure about my own critique, that's all.
2020-03-25 10:15:01 MalyceGraves: AndroidKikaider: link.
2020-03-25 10:15:24 MalyceGraves: If you'd like, I'll review and toss you some feedback in PM
2020-03-25 10:15:29 AndroidKikaider: No, I mean, I give critiques, but I feel insecure about them because I don't want to sound like a douche.
2020-03-25 10:15:59 slovak: just jumped from my window
2020-03-25 10:16:00 slovak: im back
2020-03-25 10:16:01 AndroidKikaider: Got a good nap?
2020-03-25 10:16:25 slovak: well i got the comment i knew i was gonna get
2020-03-25 10:16:36 MalyceGraves: AndroidKikaider: That's fair. However, it is better to be realistic in your crit. The main site is unforgiving, and if the content isn't good, it isn't going to survive
2020-03-25 10:16:50 AndroidKikaider: MalyceGraves: Well, if you want, you could crit my draft…
2020-03-25 10:16:54 nzsaltz: slovak: That comment isn't something to beat yourself up over
2020-03-25 10:16:57 dankmemescout: AndroidKikaider: just point out what needs to be fixed, and what is good already. if its bad then say its bad, if its ok say its ok, and if its good say its good.
2020-03-25 10:16:58 slovak: i know
2020-03-25 10:17:00 MalyceGraves: Better to be told now that something needs work than get it downvoted to deletion on the mainsite
2020-03-25 10:17:01 nzsaltz: It's something to help you improve
2020-03-25 10:17:14 slovak: guess i should
2020-03-25 10:17:15 nzsaltz: Take what it said to heart and you'll have a better article and a better idea
2020-03-25 10:17:16 AndroidKikaider: Yeah, I didn't write that to make fun of your work.
2020-03-25 10:17:19 slovak: work on another concept
2020-03-25 10:17:20 slovak: lol
2020-03-25 10:17:22 nzsaltz: No
2020-03-25 10:17:27 nzsaltz: Improve this concept
2020-03-25 10:17:32 AndroidKikaider: That's your choice, I never said that.
2020-03-25 10:17:46 MalyceGraves: slovak: How old are you, mate
2020-03-25 10:17:47 nzsaltz: If you want to work on another concept you can
2020-03-25 10:17:52 nzsaltz: But that will not help you
2020-03-25 10:18:17 nzsaltz: The best way for you to improve right now is to listen to critique and then make this article the best it can be
2020-03-25 10:18:18 dankmemescout: AndroidKikaider: if they really want to wright a paper they should see you are not intending to be douche. if they just wana get there idea out and dont care about crits, they deserve to feel like your being a douche.
2020-03-25 10:18:18 MalyceGraves: slovak: I really do require an answer from you on this question.
2020-03-25 10:18:24 slovak: on what question
2020-03-25 10:18:31 MalyceGraves: How old are you
2020-03-25 10:18:32 AndroidKikaider: Yeah, you can't just hop again and again to different ideas just because nobody likes the other one because you won't improve on it, then you're never gonna learn.
2020-03-25 10:18:43 slovak: do you think just because i dont speak english well
2020-03-25 10:18:45 slovak: it means im young
2020-03-25 10:18:57 nzsaltz: We're just wondering
2020-03-25 10:18:58 AndroidKikaider: Not really.
2020-03-25 10:19:03 slovak: oh
2020-03-25 10:19:04 cybersqyd: slovak: please answer the question.
2020-03-25 10:19:05 MalyceGraves: Nope, not at all. There are lots of people here that don't speak english natively.
2020-03-25 10:19:13 dankmemescout: im 16 but my grammer is terible senior
2020-03-25 10:19:25 slovak: there isnt a slovak hub either
2020-03-25 10:19:43 nzsaltz: That is not a number lol
2020-03-25 10:19:50 slovak: what isnt a number
2020-03-25 10:19:51 AndroidKikaider: Watch it, no need for that attitude.
2020-03-25 10:20:42 DrUnoriginal: I… think you just need to answer the question, slovak
2020-03-25 10:21:03 MalyceGraves: MalyceGraves has banned *!*@synIRC-BAA4678.range109-149.btcentralplus.com
2020-03-25 10:21:14 AndroidKikaider: Actually, I don't think it's necessary to know his age? .-.
2020-03-25 10:21:14 slovak: slovak was kicked by MalyceGraves for: answer the question in 17 then
2020-03-25 10:21:22 AndroidKikaider: Hey, why'd you do that?
2020-03-25 10:21:26 nzsaltz: Read the rules
2020-03-25 10:21:27 dankmemescout: slovak we just want to know your age,its nothing against you but sometimes others question. also text dosent always translate well
2020-03-25 10:21:32 DrUnoriginal: isn't there an age limit to this?
2020-03-25 10:21:40 Magic8Ball04: Yes I think
2020-03-25 10:21:42 AndroidKikaider: There is?
2020-03-25 10:21:43 dankmemescout: 15 is youngest youcan be
2020-03-25 10:21:45 nzsaltz: 15
2020-03-25 10:21:46 DrUnoriginal: yeah
2020-03-25 10:21:49 cybersqyd: AndroidKikaider, general immaturity passes as being too young.

2020-03-25 10:24:44 Kufat: minimanofiron, it is, yes
2020-03-25 10:24:58 slovak: i thought last time if you were fifteen you could
2020-03-25 10:25:00 slovak: be in the server
2020-03-25 10:25:03 cybersqyd: Slovak: you got kickbanned for your general lack of maturity.
2020-03-25 10:25:15 slovak: how does that mean im underaged
2020-03-25 10:25:26 Gee0765: well, they got kickbanned for refusing to answer a question from an operator
2020-03-25 10:25:57 slovak: niec
2020-03-25 10:25:59 slovak: alright
2020-03-25 10:26:13 Kufat: I don't want to stick my oar in uninvited, but may I attempt to cut this knot?
2020-03-25 10:26:15 Kufat: oh, never mind
2020-03-25 10:26:16 Kufat: sigh
2020-03-25 10:26:22 MJL: so I can't log into my account on the website
2020-03-25 10:26:33 minimanofiron: how do i go to site19 chat? i just applied for my account a little while ago, do i need to wait for that?
2020-03-25 10:26:43 MJL: ./join site19
2020-03-25 10:26:48 Kufat: minimanofiron, chat and wikidot accounts are separate, look at the chat guide:
2020-03-25 10:26:51 Kufat: .s chat guide
2020-03-25 10:26:59 Kufat: MJL, are you using Chrome?
2020-03-25 10:27:05 slovak: cyvsti, is there a way to appeal or something
2020-03-25 10:27:05 MJL: Kufat: yeah
2020-03-25 10:27:10 minimanofiron: at the top of my chatbox i only see "site17" and "nickserv"

2020-03-25 10:27:21 cybersqyd: slovak: do you want to appeal your ban?
2020-03-25 10:27:22 Kufat: there, that one, MJL
2020-03-25 10:27:29 slovak: i guess
2020-03-25 10:27:37 slovak: i can't get far without the IRC
2020-03-25 10:27:47 DrMagnus: I'm available to take the appeal, if you'll give me a moment to get up to speed.
2020-03-25 10:28:06 MJL: Kufat: dang, that's pretty dumb of wikidot
2020-03-25 10:28:22 DrMagnus: slovak: If you're ready to appeal, I can take it.
2020-03-25 10:28:26 MJL: considering like scp-wiki is one of their largest clients
2020-03-25 10:28:30 slovak: how do I go about
2020-03-25 10:28:31 slovak: appealing
2020-03-25 10:28:31 Kufat: MJL, wikidot is barely maintained these days and browser security keeps moving forward, so…
2020-03-25 10:28:45 DrMagnus: You've been banned from critters and 19 for acting immature, and refusing to answer the question of how old you are.
2020-03-25 10:28:46 MJL: Kufat: oof
2020-03-25 10:28:52 DrMagnus: Why should I countermand this ban, in your favor?
2020-03-25 10:29:05 slovak: well first of all the immaturity was because of stress and
2020-03-25 10:29:30 slovak: i dont think its appropriate to answer a question like that out of the blue especially since i was unsure if the limit allowed 15 year olds
2020-03-25 10:29:45 DrMagnus: You are required to answer a chat staff when they ask that question.
2020-03-25 10:29:57 slovak: i have no idea how to tell if someone is a chat staff
2020-03-25 10:29:58 slovak: or not
2020-03-25 10:30:01 DrMagnus: Also, I'd like to point out that all of us are in a pandemic and are under stress.
