I dunno it could be pretty neat. I got a tell from Osobist and the site is now attributing with a link back to us.

On the downside (for them), it's fucking dumb.

I'm interested to see where this goes nonetheless.

Interestingly, if they follow the license, this would actually be one of the better ways someone could make money off of the Foundation. They're offering a fairly unique service that would be difficult for others to copy, so they don't need to worry so much about someone coming in and giving away what they're offering.

Gene tells me that Osobist was in chat about this, and has been in contact with the camp's webmaster who is being cooperative. Seems more likely that if they are going to work with anyone it would be the Russian wiki.

I'm not 100% sure what I'm even seeing here. It looks kind of like they're doing a generic winter camp type thing, and using SCP motifs (sort of like how some science camp-type things that teach forensic methods to junior high kids use a CSI motif). Which tears me again into "yeah, this isn't attributed, needs to be attributed" and "is SCP so popular in Russia that they can use it as a marketing tool for children?"

Yeah, we need more info. If GeneR can just give us a little more information than the crappy Google translation, that would be a good start.

Also, apparently this is for kids 9-16.

Wow. I mean, we always knew that at some point people were going to be trying to make money off us, but this is just… Wow.

I do have to say that I find the concept of a SCP-themed laser tag game to be inordinately cool, however.

oh lord

I'll send GeneR a PM and see if they have been in contact with these guys or not.

What it says on the tin. They are charging $1160 to teach kids about SCPs, apparently, and claim they have support from the site. They are not currently attributing, that I can find.
