I realized the Sarkic Cult may be eligible for being on this list since in my article Project Hades they are mentioned.

What changes were made to the top bar?

I see it but it isn't really that bothersome. That seems to occur largely due to the length of the goal which is usually just one word that is quite short. It may become a problem but that depends how often it would do that.

Do you see the line move to the right between entry 2 and 3? I fused the tables together to get rid of that problem. Once there are more entries the problem will become more prevalent.

Interesting start but I think the boxes need a space between them. It looks cluttered. I'll also highlight the names.

EDIT: Never mind. I fixed it and added the highlight of the upper row.

Thank you. I forgot and I usually am unsure what to tag it. Again, thanks.

I don't necessarily like the current state of the article, but just the idea that needs to be polished more. There is quite a few big ways to change it to make it believable and incorporate Anderson Robotics.

Sure, i will look it over.

• "God Destroyer Prototype Gun" That sounds unprofessional, i know its function and state of development, but it sounds to much like a gun found in the game "Doom".
• Orpheus had the opposite thing going, getting stones to cry.
• There is a lot of room to improve the backstory. Dependent on who made that thing and with which intentions it will have popped up before (One dose not simply create an anomalous flute and never uses it and one dose not simply hide people turning into stone)
• Something into something else is actually a very physics breaking process (ties well into alchemy) and should be explored further.
• Audio can be recorded. So can the anomaly be recorded and played back?
• Is the one playing the flute immune to its effect? If not the piece will sound off (we do need auditory feedback) or will be over very soon as its performer turns to stone.
• Personification is also a nice tool for a bit harder violence, key here being partial conversion (if just your head is stone your heart stops, if it is just your stomach you might survive and if it hits your lungs, that is on land drowning)
• There are a few items that worked similar, look if you can find "Midas Glove" and "Snake Jug" in the sandbox. They could be nice inspirations, if you need something like that.

at worst it is enough to transpose this page under another name and give it a new face to put it in the top bar. so we keep it as such and no problem

Ether it is just me and my memory or that page looked a lot cleaner last i checked it.

What happened? It looks like the line breaks have shifted, giving it a very shuffled look.

This thing should get a fresh coat of paint.

Just so that it is noted somewhere in this discussion: Wherever we apply new paint, please don't delete the old sites. The "History" function on these sites is as fare as i know non-saveable (is not downloaded with the "Download this site" function of Firefox) and non-recoverable (once the page is deleted), even if i have a copy of the latest source code.

Where did you get that footage? It should be classified. They said, they'd keep it classified.

Right idea: Never give up.

Wrong reason: Because people like it.

This puts you in a position where you validate your work based on what others think. This can destroy you once the tables turn. I have heard the stories… and they are sad stories.

First, negative votes with explanations are great, they help you to improve. As someone who lost items to "No Comment Downvotes" i can attest to that.

Second, the points themselves.

• What Anderson Robotics is and not is is not clearly defined. If the Foundation faces a "start-up" in there daily struggles and we face a company that has multiple submarines as there Headquarters, that is fine by me.
• The anomaly should be fleshed out. Still waiting on that update.
• Define story for me. Dependent on how you look at it there is actually a story to this. I was actually waiting to see whether it gets elaborated upon. It is always possible that the story i read out of this was never intended, but i did read a story. (Very fragmented, not bang on the head)
• Remaking ideas is not something to be looked down upon. I have seen remakes made. You basically throw out everything save the concept and start from there. Drilling down concepts and creating CI-Articles should not be seen as a lesser form than an SCP-Article.
• Where do you place the Foundation in terms of financial power? Even if the Insurgency had the deep pockets as it has in this article, the Foundation probably trumps that by a ridicules margin.
• I have no idea where that link goes and i don't care. My thoughts on that matter are stated in a previous post.

I do love some heated discussions.

So, now let's continue…

How would the article change if all the changes were implemented?

• First question, how did a startup manage to get a submarine? It cant be by normal means, since startups usually don't have investors this large.
• Why are there no robotics involved? They have to be in there somewhere. If they are not that actually gives us a clue about the nature of the submarine and the organization that supposedly constructed it.
• The Insurgency has made an effort not to tell a story in the document or has tried to play it down. What dose that tell us about the nature of the relation the CI has to this boat?
• There once was an SCP article describing the thing, now it is not there anymore. To me that suggests that this thing has some past connection to the Foundation, an organization with legendary amounts of pocket change. Now they no longer have the thing. Why?
• You are right, the Insurgency would not have the money and would not consider to blow this thing up if THEY had actually paid for it. The plot thickens.
• The CI also has no idea about Foundation codes or access to there Data-banks. The only people that have that kind of knowledge and connections are ether in the Foundation or have just recently leaved. So that clears up the origins of the reference link.

Once you put the pieces together this thing has actually a quit interesting story. Anderson R never build it, the Foundation did. The CI has not bought it, the Foundation gave it to them. The nuclear device is still on board, which probably means we cant remove it. This is something the Foundation wants off the board and not be associated with it being on the board or being taken off the board. This is a coverup of Foundation Level magnitude and for some reason the CI is going along with it. They would only help the Foundation if they were to be paid for it and what better payment than a U-boat fleet, if the thing you are being paid to take of there hands is a U-boot?

This fits neatly, but it leaves one final question. Why do they want to get rid of it so badly? Who is the voice of the ship? It is someone they are willing to nuke, to get rid of him or her and they cant dismantle the ship to get that thing out and destroyed. So we have a anomaly the Foundation wishes to get rid off and the only way they could come up with to kill the thing is a nuke…

This is a "destroy until nothing remains" type of anomaly and i am pretty sure the Foundation had a hand in its creation. In this it mirrors the Insurgency.

If they are clever that thing is also a trap to take a bite out of this Base 1. A good plan, well executed.

OR

It is a screaming boat and there is nothing more to it.

I would like to take this opportunity to bring you back an idea I had, while doing some research I noticed that we had a place where we were reviewing the operations conducted by the IC.
unfortunately the page is not highlighted and (between us) ugly enough, I propose that we create a real format for IC operations. Then we will put the page of operations in topbar in the category "insurgency documents"

I have some ideas for a format for operations but I prefer to talk to you about it first.

I have not entirely nailed the format yet and some of my experiments might go against the intended nature of the items, but i think it turned out fine.
