Staff takeout of "A Normal Lamp" at -4 and "Peter Thompson" at -3 following a 5 day countdown.
Looks like the guy just took the lamp and ran shouting "My precious.", all the way out into the desert.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and will be looking forward to your future works.
Next time just give us a heads up, so that we can help you iron out some of the kinks that might still be in the work.
Fighting Monsters and Language since 2016.
I have noticed that, besides the POI file and audio log, there are practically no items or tales about SEPIA. I find this strange since the group has enormous potential, coming from the fact that they would be completely opposed to almost all other groups of interest. I do have intentions of writing articles about SEPIA such as the Agent of Thule mentioned in the POI file.
The Camera man is having a blast.
Welcome back.

I'm back, baby. your favorite moderator (that's not true) has finally finished her exams, I'm waiting for the grades but I'm going to be much more present on the wiki to keep an eye on him. I also plan to get back to writing by starting Shanalick's rewrite.
But for now, it's dancing time : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NFKK8mvxT0

Thanks for answering. At the moment it does not seem that anyone has a problem on this side. The original author has not been back in a while, so there is a chance we could rewrite him - as well as many other agents. This would be done to avoid similarities and to separate it from a widely used trope.
In any case, as I said before, killer shadows are too common in this type of fiction (The Foundation practically has at least three SCPs that are man-eating shadows).
So no problem for now. I will keep you informed of anything that comes up in the future.
Honestly, I had no idea that this article existed. I gave it a read through google translate and I'm shocked by the similarities. I don't necessarily think that the fact that they kill people, work as part of a team, and that they wear hats is the freaky part. As meta says, killing is pretty much in the CI job description. And teams are just a good idea when on majority operations. The main reason he's in a hat is because I didn't want him bald and I couldn't figure out a good hair design.
The parts that I find uncanny are these (Keep in mind that this is just through google translate, so I could be wrong on the meaning)
tends to play some pranks or harass new Base-7 personnel
and
Maintenance Required / Armament : Combat knives.
The reason I had the Knave as a prankster was to enforce the childish factor of him. My intention was to have him a fairly young member of his species. Hence why he looks like a teenager in total darkness.
As for the knife part, I figured that if he interacts with shadows, aiming a gun with accuracy might prove difficult.
If any part of this still bugs you, list your terms and I'll see if I can change the article while still keeping the concept of what I was going for.
I try and carry a tarot pack with me wherever I go.
I don't know why, but it works.
I need some help with the cohesion and readability of this. I know I have a tendency to assume others know what I know so I wanted to make sure that the story can be read and understood on its own as well as part of an ongoing story. The ongoing story is a bit bigger than the parts that are currently up on the main site and I wish to introduce it gradually. Sadly my knowledge of "the whole thing" makes it hard for me to judge whether a pieces of the whole is understandable.

I think I can ease your concerns. Maybe they are both members of the same species or maybe they are completely unrelated. This could be a case of convergent evolution (of the species or respective articles). Hats are not unique and were developed across cultures independently (my characters also ware hats (and are arguably incorporeal)). Not being hindered by corporal barriers and working for the Insurgency almost predestines one to be a killer. I am usually not fond of using such abilities in such a primitive way, but I always had strange ideas on what to do with anomalous powers. Lastly, tactical teams are just the natural place for an agent like this to end up. Most of our agents don't work solo.

I couldn't help noticing when I translated this article that it looks quite similar to Agent Hat created by carabina30 in 2017.
I'm not implying that there was any kind of plagiarism but it's just that they are quite similar and eventually someone was going to notice it.
Honestly the concept of humanoid shadows is not new, but the fact that they are both used for murder, they both wear hats, and they are both members of a tactical team worries me a bit.

Credits
Thanks to QuispyQueems, Meta Wonderrat, PanicAtTheSmith, Never part, Miranda Richster, and all the other members who read my draft and gave me feedback. I tried to answer as many of the questions you had in Discord or PM and made edits accordingly. You guys were all tremendously patient with reading such a big chonk of an article and gave me the motivation to see this thing finally published.
Haos bless!

And there goes the need for hour long dinging in the internet archive and the "view this revision" button. It seems that even I with my large excavation efforts have not unearthed everything.
I once attempted to rewrite "Stickity Stick" with nothing but the name to hand. It did not help that I misread it "Sticky Stick" for about half a year. I eventually even tracked down a copy of the thing. Yes, the stick still exists.
failure on our part to comply with SCP suggestions
Is this an Insurgency tag-line? Yes, yes it is.
Hiding your sins is not nice (if you want you can look into my past back to the very first things I posted), but since that stuff has been hidden since 2016, I guess I cant blame you. Hidden does not mean forgotten and someone with an interest in dinging might still have a copy.
Also yes, the history and those old tales were entertaining.

Site admin checking in.
Better hold on to the EDGE OF YOUR SEAT because I'm going to brazenly disclose site lore to you guys so you could realize I really am full of wisdom and knowledge:
Topic: History
The site's history, especially in its early years, is labyrinthine and oftentimes a place of mystery for the members today. I thought sharing some of this ancient knowledge would be useful to understand the trajectory this site is taking these days, and at the very least entertain you.

Gotcha, I checked the poll earlier. No further changes to the site will be made at this time.

So I asked the Discord server with a poll and so far an overwhelming majority state the navigation is never an issue for them.
It is fine.
The fact that there was a conversation actually makes me proud. From the implementation of something new, to resistance, to some form of compromise (and someone coming late to the party implying interest beyond the end of the conversation).
A proper chain of events with a satisfying conclusion.

as usual I arrive after the battle.
so, I guess the new sidebar is fine.

I'd be happy if you do. I'm usually on when most of us there are offline and we would gain more responses that way.
After considering what you said earlier, the links and design have been readjusted. Thank you for the help.

Could someone ask around for me?
I will do it on the Discord.
