WhiteFang1 has been banned from #thecritters for 1 week after they spent approximately an hour trying to figure out how to format a SCP article using the basic formatting on the site; including aggravating multiple critters with their behaviour.
An appeal is available to them in #site17.

Jan 08 18:52:00 <Attila_the_Pun> Whitefang1, What's with the formatting?
Jan 08 18:52:05 <Attila_the_Pun> Or rather, the lack of it
Jan 08 18:52:24 <Whitefang1> Sorry mr Attila
Jan 08 18:52:59 <Whitefang1> I think there's plenty. I've spend 5 hours on this gimme a break PLEASE… It really is hard.

Jan 08 18:53:31 <Mars> Whitefang1: Have you read many current SCPs?
Jan 08 18:53:40 <Whitefang1> Yes
Jan 08 18:53:42 <Whitefang1> I know
Jan 08 18:53:48 <Attila_the_Pun> https://www.scpwiki.com/how-to-write-an-scp
Jan 08 18:53:55 <Attila_the_Pun> At least just copy the template
Jan 08 18:53:55 <Whitefang1> I know
Jan 08 18:54:03 <Mars> Then you would know that the formatting is absent in this draft
Jan 08 18:54:13 <Mars> Sorry to jack your crit, Attila
Jan 08 18:54:19 <Whitefang1> Ok.
Jan 08 18:54:46 <BoogeyMobile23> Whitefang1: you want to save the page before copying the link (not while you are editing the page)
Jan 08 18:54:59 <Whitefang1> ok
Jan 08 18:55:06 <Mars> There are several other issues with this, but I'm not the one critting you so I'll let them speak.
Jan 08 18:55:48 <Whitefang1> Ok
Jan 08 18:55:55 <Whitefang1> Attilla
Jan 08 18:56:09 <Whitefang1> Listen
Jan 08 18:56:10 <Rektris> Thanks a lot Boogeymobile23! The SCP itself is an immortal Paladin who is the last of his kind. Concerning the story it's about how if he had a flaw or weakness it would be this: The Paladin is too kind, too caring, too gentle, and values life too much.

Jan 08 18:57:28 <Whitefang1> I really don't care
Jan 08 18:57:46 <BoogeyMobile23> So he's, like, a pacifist paladin?
Jan 08 18:58:32 <Whitefang1> Unlike mine. An abandoned nightmare doll

Jan 08 18:58:47 <Rektris> Light and darkenss lol
Jan 08 19:00:25 <BoogeyMobile23> Ok, did you have anything in mind for the story yet?
Jan 08 19:00:26 <Rektris> But ya, kinda. While he has anti anomalous capabilities and could potentially kill anomalies or people (because what are you gonna do, shoot him?) he more often than not refuses to. He only hurts living creatures (or those he considers to be alive in some capacity) or God forbid people if he absolutely has to.
Jan 08 19:00:36 <Whitefang1> Yes
Jan 08 19:01:06 --> Limey ([HOSTMASK REMOVED]) has joined #thecritters
Jan 08 19:01:22 <Rektris> Hmmmmm I was mostly thinking interview logs before and after a containment breach, where he protects a researcher and demonstrates these personal beliefs and morals of his.

Jan 08 19:06:20 <Rektris> Anyways, any thoughts or concerns on the story or concept?

Jan 08 19:10:12 <Attila_the_Pun> https://www.scpwiki.com/how-to-write-an-scp
Jan 08 19:10:17 <BoogeyMobile23> Rektris: Well, things like "friendly scp" or "strong fighter scp" or even "nigh-immortal humanoid scp" are all things that have been done enough they are practically tropes of the wiki
Jan 08 19:10:32 <Whitefang1> Attila I know
Jan 08 19:10:34 <Attila_the_Pun> Copy the SCP template and use that.
Jan 08 19:10:46 <Attila_the_Pun> Until you do that much, I'm not inclined to read this
Jan 08 19:11:41 <BoogeyMobile23> But if the details are unique and make for a good story, it can still work

Jan 08 19:12:24 <Whitefang1> hmmm
Jan 08 19:12:28 <Rektris> I suppose that's true
Jan 08 19:12:29 <Whitefang1> Spam kick.
Jan 08 19:13:27 <Mars> Yes, the standard SCP document format.
Jan 08 19:13:29 <Rektris> The problem with a 10 year old fandom is that almost everything you want to do has been done already I suppose :(
Jan 08 19:13:50 <BoogeyMobile23> With humanoids and sapient anomalies, characterisation tends to count for a lot
Jan 08 19:13:59 <Alongname> Well, I do think there are always differences.
Jan 08 19:14:17 <Alongname> While most concepts are done, you can still create unique scenarious/perspectives
Jan 08 19:14:26 <BoogeyMobile23> And there's room for similar ideas and concepts, as long as they are done in new and different ways
Jan 08 19:15:16 <Alongname> And besides there are always ways to make an SCP out of common things.
Jan 08 19:15:37 <Alongname> Not everything has to be a nigh omnipotent spawn of the void.
Jan 08 19:15:48 <%DrFullham> The anomaly is just the vehicle. All you need is a new destination and an interesting route.
Jan 08 19:16:03 <Alongname> How about a toaster, that seeks out suicidal people and offers them a good last toast?
Jan 08 19:16:06 <Rektris> I mean, the Paladin is just a guy with unbreakable faith and beliefs that caused his immortality
Jan 08 19:16:42 <Alongname> True, but I still would put some restrictions on that power.
Jan 08 19:16:56 <Rektris> Noted
Jan 08 19:17:13 <Rektris> The question is how
Jan 08 19:17:15 <Alongname> Because even the deer.
Jan 08 19:17:28 <Alongname> Can be "contained"
Jan 08 19:17:44 <Alongname> Maybe even if it is unbreakable, does not mean that it is not convertable.
Jan 08 19:18:05 <Rektris> This is true
Jan 08 19:18:20 <Alongname> Because "drugs" and other fun things certainly can change his perception of his belief
Jan 08 19:18:33 <Alongname> When all of a sudden a "god" speaks to him
Jan 08 19:19:01 <Alongname> I mean, a nigh omnipotent drug addict is also a fun perspective
Jan 08 19:20:17 <Alongname> And besides, it is much more interesting when a being is only mighty under specific circumstances.

Jan 08 19:27:04 <@MalyceGraves> Thank you
Jan 08 19:27:17 <Whitefang1> Anytime!
Jan 08 19:27:30 <Whitefang1> Limey! You're still here!
Jan 08 19:28:57 <Whitefang1> Attila_the_Pun! Attila! Done formatting.
Jan 08 19:29:05 <Whitefang1> Wait.
Jan 08 19:29:25 <Whitefang1> You're probably reading something else.
Jan 08 19:29:26 <Mars> This formatting is still not correct, Whitefang1.
Jan 08 19:29:36 <Whitefang1> Heh?
Jan 08 19:29:45 <Whitefang1> Mars. What have I done wrong?
Jan 08 19:30:07 --> Cerastes ([HOSTMASK REMOVED]) has joined #thecritters
Jan 08 19:31:36 <Whitefang1> Mars please. One example
Jan 08 19:31:40 <Whitefang1> Please
Jan 08 19:32:43 <Rektris> Hmmmm perhaps I could change the Paladin from being basically untouchable to being simply anti anomalous. Take off his armor, shoot him or stab him normally, and he'll still die. But he's immune to anomalous effects, and his armor and weapons help amplify that somehow.
Jan 08 19:32:46 <Mars> Look at any other SCP article.
Jan 08 19:33:13 <Whitefang1> Ok.
Jan 08 19:33:17 <Mars> The headers are bold, the title is, well, in the title of the page itself as opposed to next to the SCP designation.
Jan 08 19:33:20 <Mars> Like
Jan 08 19:33:24 <Mars> SCP-5979
Jan 08 19:33:24 <%Secretary_Helen> Mars: SCP-5979: Star Crossed Lovers (Rating: +73. Written 187 days ago By: Marcelles_Raynes) - http://scpwiki.com/scp-5979
Jan 08 19:33:24 <Whitefang1> Oh!
Jan 08 19:33:32 <Whitefang1> I understand now
Jan 08 19:33:35 <Whitefang1> Ok
Jan 08 19:33:43 <Whitefang1> Makes sense
Jan 08 19:34:04 <Mars> Additionally, for one, there is no story present here, which immediately dissuades me from wanting to read this. There's nothing to get me invested in this object because its just a weird thing that does weird things.
Jan 08 19:34:45 <Mars> As Fullham said, the SCP is a vehicle, you need a destination and an interesting route.

Jan 08 19:35:09 <Rektris> *is still currently figuring out the map*
Jan 08 19:35:12 <Whitefang1> I bolded
Jan 08 19:35:31 <Whitefang1> Mars.
Jan 08 19:35:34 <Koke> Whitefang1: The bold text is the least of your problems
Jan 08 19:35:46 <Whitefang1> Then what is Koke
Jan 08 19:35:47 <Whitefang1> ?
Jan 08 19:35:58 <@ocuin> Whitefang1: how old are you?
Jan 08 19:36:33 <Whitefang1> ocuin How old do think I am? Why does it matter?
Jan 08 19:36:42 <%KaraBlue> Answer the question
Jan 08 19:36:44 <@ocuin> Whitefang1: Answer the question please
Jan 08 19:36:47 <Whitefang1> Ok
Jan 08 19:36:52 <@ocuin> Or I will remove you from this chatroom
Jan 08 19:37:04 <Whitefang1> 15
Jan 08 19:37:08 <Whitefang1> Why?
Jan 08 19:37:23 <Mars> Ah.
Jan 08 19:37:28 <Whitefang1> what?
Jan 08 19:37:30 <@ocuin> When do you turn 16?
Jan 08 19:37:37 <Whitefang1> 5 days
Jan 08 19:37:43 <@ocuin> Ok
Jan 08 19:37:43 <Rektris> There's an age limit, they're trying to figure out if you're old enough or not
Jan 08 19:37:53 <Whitefang1> I know
Jan 08 19:37:56 <Whitefang1> I know
Jan 08 19:38:10 <@cybersqyd> Which we are trying to do because you have consistently shown a completely failure to understand basic concepts
Jan 08 19:38:31 <Whitefang1> It's my first time
Jan 08 19:38:40 <Whitefang1> This is a pass time.
Jan 08 19:38:54 <Whitefang1> I'm here to have fun
Jan 08 19:38:57 <Rektris> Sometimes peeps just need a bit of guidance my guy
Jan 08 19:39:20 <Whitefang1> I know.
Jan 08 19:39:30 <@ocuin> The people helping you here are volunteers, and are taking time out of their days to help you. It being a passtime is not an excuse for wasting that time.
Jan 08 19:39:49 <@cybersqyd> Rektris, the issue is when 'a bit of guidance' becomes 'an excessive amount of guidance'
Jan 08 19:39:52 <@cybersqyd> which it is becoming here
Jan 08 19:40:16 <@cybersqyd> The reason there are so many guides, and so many of them are required/recommended reading, is that they convey a lot of information that's really helpful
Jan 08 19:40:27 <@MalyceGraves> 👁️
Jan 08 19:40:28 <Rektris> Fair enough
Jan 08 19:41:13 <Whitefang1> Yup
Jan 08 19:41:19 <Whitefang1> I suppose.
Jan 08 19:42:06 <%DrFullham> We are a heavy RTFG community
Jan 08 19:42:21 <Rektris> RTFG?
