So, Snipes88 decided to discuss the script he's writing, which ended up with this… mess.
17:17:01 <Snipes88> Who wanted to see the movie script for "SCP: The Fall of Man?"
17:17:01 <DrMagnus> Hence why I couldn't vote on Monenn's
17:17:04 <FortuneFavorsBold> DrMagnus: yes, good.
17:17:04 <DarkStuff> tawny: It's kind of supposed to
17:17:05 <tawny> and it's not a very scary or serious pose
17:17:10 <tawny> it's just sort of humorous
17:17:12 <DarkStuff> tawny: No, it's not
17:17:30 <Snipes88> Wait, did the people who wanted to see the script leave?
17:17:33 <tawny> because it makes me think of /bad/ video games (or at least badly programmed) like Andromeda or something from bethesda or w/e
17:17:39 LilyAFK → Lily
17:17:43 <&Quikngruvn> …you have a script already?
17:17:43 <AbsentmindedNihilist> snipes88 show
17:17:50 <Snipes88> Quikngruvn: the cold open
17:17:55 <DarkStuff> I guess I could have it be in normal standing position, but I thought "T-Pose" was the easiest way to make it come across as a computer model
17:17:56 <Snipes88> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/0EyVum5P
17:18:01 <DrMagnus> Snipes88: You said you had a partial script
17:18:04 <Snipes88> Yes
17:18:06 <Snipes88> Partial
17:18:12 <DarkStuff> And I /really/ want it to come across as a model
17:18:13 <Snipes88> He sent me the cold open
17:18:24 <DrMagnus> Dude.
17:18:24 <Snipes88> I told him to send what he had done
17:18:27 <DrMagnus> This is three goddamned lines.
17:18:27 <tawny> I mean it does come across as a computer model but I don't think that's fully a good thing
17:18:29 <AbsentmindedNihilist> dude.
17:18:30 <DrMagnus> and two stage directions
17:18:33 <AbsentmindedNihilist> this is literally
17:18:34 <AbsentmindedNihilist> my god.,
17:18:36 ⇐ &Soulless quit (lluks.ruoy.fo.trofmoc.eht.edisni.teg.ot.stn|w#lluks.ruoy.fo.trofmoc.eht.edisni.teg.ot.stn|w) Ping timeout: 180 seconds
17:18:36 <tawny> idk tho you know it better than I do
17:18:37 <Snipes88> I told you
17:18:39 <AbsentmindedNihilist> my guy.
17:18:42 <Snipes88> I didn't write it
17:18:48 <AbsentmindedNihilist> snipes88 what scriptwriting software is he using?
17:18:50 <DrMagnus> Snipes88: You know what this looks like? Someone hastily wrote it down between classes.
17:18:54 <AbsentmindedNihilist> ^
17:18:54 <DarkStuff> tawny: What do I know better than you…?
17:19:03 <Snipes88> DrMagnus: he might have
17:19:03 <tawny> what your story's supposed to do
17:19:08 <Snipes88> Idfk
17:19:13 <weryllium> i think most of us are tired of clef and kondraki stuff at this point
17:19:14 <AbsentmindedNihilist> Snipes88 no self-respecting screenwriter would do that.
17:19:20 <AbsentmindedNihilist> do you know how hard it is?
17:19:32 <Snipes88> I don't because i never wrote it
17:19:32 <AbsentmindedNihilist> it's a ridiculously demanding format, with exact specification.
17:19:35 <DarkStuff> tawny: Aw, right. Okay okay, let's continue then, and I can go back and fine tune things to be more immersive and such after the fact
17:19:46 ⇐ Hexi quit (nooM.nooM.yas.enoemos.diD.syug|yeH#nooM.nooM.yas.enoemos.diD.syug|yeH) Quit: Leaving.
17:20:11 <&Quikngruvn> I have exactly zero confidence in this project succeeding.
17:20:18 <AbsentmindedNihilist> Snipes88 dude, we've been giving you a dozen outs to let you save face.
17:20:20 → Hexi joined (nooM.nooM.yas.enoemos.diD.syug|yeH#nooM.nooM.yas.enoemos.diD.syug|yeH)
17:20:23 <AbsentmindedNihilist> the jig is up.
17:20:33 <&Quikngruvn> Or, really, getting to a point where it can be adequately judged as a work of art.
17:20:36 <DarkStuff> Anyways, more and more people are disappearing, and the team doesn't seem to notice. The audio completely cuts out, and it takes a diversion from the "camera" angle to show a radar
17:21:14 <DarkStuff> The radar doesn't cover a perfect circle, instead it shows what looks like a large circle connected to a smaller circle, a very odd shape for a radar. The center of the radar is in the smaller circle.
17:22:06 <DarkStuff> It shows the people in teams of two (or what are now teams of 1 or 2) closing in on the center of the larger circle. The last thing it shows before the thing cuts back to cameras is — aw dicks, I gots to go
17:22:10 <DarkStuff> I'll be back
17:22:15 <FortuneFavorsBold> AbsentmindedNihilist: :o
17:22:51 <AbsentmindedNihilist> FFB ?
17:22:55 <FortuneFavorsBold> Snipes88: -5 respect. Srsly dissapointed
17:23:26 <weryllium> i took the liberty of putting it into a pastebin for convenience
17:23:34 <weryllium> since it's a pain to read the notebook
17:23:47 <Snipes88> Don't believe I didn't write that? How about i give an example of what i have myself worked on
17:23:51 <weryllium> https://pastebin.com/jarx6tdZ
17:23:56 <Snipes88> And you can see the difference
17:24:01 <AbsentmindedNihilist> you don't even have the freaking Fade in
17:24:10 <AbsentmindedNihilist> or the setting line
17:24:45 <FortuneFavorsBold> Snipes88: put the shovel down.
17:25:01 <Snipes88> AbsentmindedNihilist: I told you I didn't write it. Here, I'll give you concept i created for a boss fight, with clear directions and everything, and you'll see how i write
17:25:15 <DarkStuff> am I still here?
17:25:19 <weryllium> DarkStuff: yes
17:25:21 <DarkStuff> Did it not glitch out>
17:25:28 <AbsentmindedNihilist> snipes88 if your friend is a screenwriter at all he would know this.
17:25:29 <weryllium> maybe just lag on your end, idk
17:25:37 <AbsentmindedNihilist> the most basic of formatting guides tell you this.
17:25:52 <DarkStuff> … feels like it glitched
17:26:02 <&Quikngruvn> "A voice comes on the PDA system." They send site-wide announcements through their Blackberries?
17:26:15 <Snipes88> AbsentmindedNihilist: i just said he was writing it, I didn't say he was good at it
17:26:18 <weryllium> i believe it's mean to be the PA system
17:26:23 <&Quikngruvn> I'm sure it is.
17:26:31 <DrMagnus> Snipes88: Then, take this as a "Your script will not work and your friend should not write it"

17:27:04 <@Dora> Quikngruvn hey, product placement is a valid feature of Hollywood filmmaking, yo
17:27:05 <@Dora> ;)
17:27:05 <Snipes88> I've been screenshothing irccloud this whole time
17:27:08 <DarkStuff> Ope! I'm back
17:27:15 <&Quikngruvn> Dora, true.
17:27:59 <DragonM372> Wait is someone making an actual skip movie
17:28:07 <DragonM372> I haven't been paying too much attention
17:28:10 <&Quikngruvn> Do y'all have, like, actual filmmaking experience?
17:28:22 <Jekeled> DragonM372 If only there was some sort of "upscroll" you could check out
17:28:30 <DrMagnus> DragonM372: ….sources point to no.
17:28:34 <Snipes88> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/ZVDW6YTu
17:28:43 <Snipes88> This is something i worked on
17:28:44 <DragonM372> Jekeled: …Right you are
17:28:46 <DarkStuff> Alright, so, I guess I'm continuing with mah thing
17:28:56 <Snipes88> See if you can spot the difference
17:29:08 <DarkStuff> Anyone folllowing can follow again, but I'm okay with talking into the void as well, whatever
17:29:14 <DrMagnus> Snipes. I can't….really figure out a way to not be an asshole here.
17:29:20 <DrMagnus> But neither of you should be writing movies at this point in time.
17:29:22 <AbsentmindedNihilist> snipes that's not very different
17:29:23 <weryllium> the least you could do is put them into an album on imgur
17:29:23 <InitHello> that's … a non-ideal way to share imgur links

17:30:21 <Snipes88> I told shane to let me write it
17:30:40 <Snipes88> But he said "no, you'll fuck it up"
17:30:53 <&Quikngruvn> Oh cool, creative differences.
17:30:58 <AbsentmindedNihilist> mmm hmm.
17:31:00 <&Quikngruvn> That's always a good sign!
17:31:11 <Snipes88> And i said, "just make it so we can understand what to do"
17:31:11 <AbsentmindedNihilist> didn't you say you were 16?
17:31:39 <DarkStuff> Okay continuing for real this time
17:31:40 <Snipes88> AbsentmindedNihilist: yes. I have been making live action skits with my cousin since i was around 5-6
17:31:50 <DarkStuff> Last thing it shows on the radar is a blue blip on the very outskirts
17:32:03 <AbsentmindedNihilist> idk if that qualifies as experience here.
17:32:05 <weryllium> i've been writing since i was 9, that doesn't mean i'm good at it
17:32:05 <&Quikngruvn> "Making live action skits". Does that include, like, performing them?
17:32:12 <AbsentmindedNihilist> skits are very different from a full fledged movie.
17:32:17 <DarkStuff> It cuts to one of the now teams of one for one second as the model collides with him at high speed, and both disappear. Yet again, the rest of the team take no notice

17:32:37 <DrMagnus> Alright
17:32:46 <DrMagnus> Not to be….bossy, but maybe we should just move on from this?
17:32:48 <Snipes88> Some of our most famous skits are "Cancer-Os," "Gay-be-gone" and "Straight-be-gone" please note that this was years ago before the whole PC movement
17:32:52 <DarkStuff> As they get closer to the central point, their radio chatter becomes clearer, though not clear enough to hear more than just a couple things
17:32:54 <DrMagnus> ………..
17:32:55 <DrMagnus> Nevermind.
17:32:57 <DragonM372> weryllium: I dunno I think you're pretty good at it :3
17:32:58 <AbsentmindedNihilist> Snipes88 PC movement?
17:33:04 <Shio> ..
17:33:06 <Shio> Uhh
17:33:06 <AbsentmindedNihilist> jesus fucking christ.
17:33:07 <Snipes88> Politically correct
17:33:09 <%Lily> Snipes88: wtf
17:33:10 <Shio> wot?
17:33:11 <AbsentmindedNihilist> i know.
17:33:13 <&Quikngruvn> WE KNOW WHAT IT IS.
17:33:22 <@Tuomey> Snipes88: hey buddy
17:33:23 <Snipes88> I never said they were my ideas
17:33:23 <weryllium> DragonM372: riiiiiiight
17:33:28 <Snipes88> And they were eventually taken down
17:33:28 <DrMagnus> you're 16. The "PC" movement was established *before you were born*
17:33:31 <@Tuomey> you're kind of a tool
17:33:40 <DrMagnus> Around like nineteen fifty goddamned six!
17:33:44 <&Quikngruvn> Snipes. If you went along with those ideas, you're just as responsible.
17:33:48 <AbsentmindedNihilist> ^
17:33:56 <Snipes88> To be honest
17:33:57 <InitHello> the "PC movement" predates *me* being 16
17:33:58 <@Dora> …. actually, hang on a sec
17:34:01 <DarkStuff> The words "the point", "T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5", and "initial response team" come up
17:34:02 <InitHello> and I'm 35
17:34:25 — Shio has no right to add to this discussion.
17:34:28 ⇐ DragonM372 quit (tsixe.od.snog|rd.ebyam#tsixe.od.snog|rd.ebyam) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
17:34:30 <@Dora> Snipes88 earlier you just claimed that you have expertise on the writing side of things, and that's why you wanted to handle the script for this upcoming project
17:34:30 <Snipes88> I meant before everyone got butthurt over everything on the internet
17:34:37 <%Lily> Snipes88: if your friend wrote the first one why have you got the same handwriting
17:34:39 <DarkStuff> Also, a member of the team looks up and covers his visor in a way that looks like he's blocking out the sun, which is odd because everything seen looks pitch black.
17:34:43 <@Dora> and now you're saying that you have no role in these ideas
17:34:45 <DarkStuff> So how could it be daytime?
17:34:47 <Snipes88> Lily: is it the same?
17:34:49 <DrMagnus> Snipes88: Hoooooleeeee shit.
17:34:50 <InitHello> Lily: I was gonna say…
17:34:51 <AbsentmindedNihilist> yes.
17:34:53 <%Lily> Snipes88: and being "butthurt" is different from being offended by something shitty and offensive
17:34:55 <%Lily> Snipes88: yes it is
17:34:57 <&Quikngruvn> Snipes, you continue you dig your hole deeper.
17:34:58 <@Dora> so exactly what did you do
17:35:00 <DrMagnus> You think people not wanting to hear "Gay be gone" is being "butthurt"?
17:35:06 <AbsentmindedNihilist> seriously.
17:35:06 <&Quikngruvn> *to dig
17:35:08 <@Dora> was it writing/idea development or not

Keep an eye on. Coony warned.
