thedeadlymoose 1177

Alright. Full-blown analysis post. Apologies in advance if this is slightly incoherent because I'm sorta kinda running a fever at the moment.

Number one, the most obvious: Don't upvote your own article.

Second: Your picture is broken. Read the newbie guides again to find out how to fix this. Actually, just read the newbie guides period, because most of your article problems could have been avoided if you had.

Your containment issues are at best silly. You say it's Keter but you put it in a steel box? And a tiny steel box at that. If you seriously want something to not move, fyi, suspending it in a tiny box is not sufficient, padded room or no. Get more creative here. Plus, is this thing really Keter? I'm not so sure, though the description is so ambiguous that I can't be sure of anything about it, really, except that it's purple and tiny.

    If any movement of the box is seen or felt, call Agents ████████ and ██████████ immediately. If anything goes wrong or [DATA EXPUNGED] occurs, you will be terminated.

Don't use second person; rather than "you will be terminated", use "guards will be terminated". And don't use [DATA EXPUNGED] in containment procedures. Especially not like this. Think about this from the perspective of a person who needs to read this article: You're telling them they're going to be terminated if X happens and refuse to tell them what X is. In fact, just get rid of that last sentence entirely. Do you really believe the Foundation is going to kill or fire everyone if something goes wrong?

Not to mention that the tone of those sentences are all wrong. Tone should be scientific, professional. Read more articles on the site and try to write more like those.

    SCP-1177 is a six-sided, purple cube, with dots on each face corresponding (assumingly) for the numbers of the Arabic system one, two, three, four, five, and six.

Leaving aside the fact that a purple cube SCP is probably a bad idea, you use the word 'assumingly' wrong. You mean 'presumably'. And there's no point in specifying 'Arabic system' - cut that. Then again, are you trying to say that this cube has, say, two dots on each side, but each of those 'dot configurations' matches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6?

    Subject was recovered after [DATA EXPUNGED] occurred in a small retail store in █████████, Pennsylvania.

Don't use [DATA EXPUNGED] as a placeholder to avoid coming up with something to write. This smacks of that.

    The two victims, assumingly male, were obviously mauled to death, and the store was ravaged.

Again, 'assumingly' = 'presumably'. And there's no reason to presume or assume here - we've got Technology!

    The only thing still intact was SCP-1177, despite A LOT of other dice being present at the original scene.

First: All the other dice were demolished? That sounds … difficult to believe.

Second: "A LOT of" is an excellent example of unscientific tone. You could just go with 'numerous'. And don't type it in all caps because that's extremely silly (not to mention one of the things recommended against in the newbie guides which you haven't read).

And now we come to the biggest problem in your Description, namely that it isn't. You describe the appearance of SCP-1177, but you never say what the fuck it does. I've read to the end and I'm still not sure: it's a Dice of Summon Monster except there's brainwashing involved somewhere?

    Whatever happened at that store is purely coincidental. I have been staring at this stupid thing for hours and nothing happened. I think we should classify it as Safe and call it a day.

This is so stupid my brain nearly fell out reading it. Okay, being nice here. This is not a believable attitude from a professional scientist, especially not a Foundation scientist. What exactly is the 'coincidence' that tore a store apart and mauled two people beyond recognition? This isn't an Infinite Improbability Drive, and if it were, would you classify that as Safe? If the scientist thinks the store 'event' had some other cause, then why classify this die as an SCP at all?

    Idiot, roll the damn thing and tell me what happens. Remember to be in the safe room and have a robot roll it. Keep SCP-117 on your persons at ALL times. Trust me it helps.

I'm not sure what the hell is going on here. Doctor B is telling Doctor A to roll the die? Why did he/she need to be told that? How is Doctor A going to keep the cube on their person at ALL times (and there's that capslock again) while having a robot roll it? Plus, this dialogue doesn't sound real people talking. Or real research notes for that matter.

    The following report was under the category of [DATA EXPUNGED], and is on a need-to-know basis:

Why would anyone expunge a category? Or are you under the impression that "[DATA EXPUNGED]" is an actual category name?

    TACTICAL SQUAD "BYTE" TALKIE LINK:

"Talkie link?"

    Cmdr. ████ Guillerman, Call Sign: ULTRA
    Cpt. ███████ Sanguine, Call Sign: ANGEL
    Cpl. ████████ Manus, Call Sign: IRON
    Pvt. ███████████ Vulkan, Call Sign: SALAMANDER
    Cpt. ████ Dorn, Call Sign/Squad: MASTER

…

Okay, I'm just gonna leave this at: Those are ridiculous sounding names. You want to pick new ones.

    ULTRA: Ok guys our job here is to guard the good doctor while he does the tests

This is making it even harder to believe that this isn't a troll article. But just in case it's not: You need to actually use punctuation in dialogue. Like periods. Commas. That sort of thing. And "Ok" should be "okay". And I can't take a military/MTF-type character who says "Okay guys" in this context seriously. Actually, no one talks like this. They all know why they're there, they don't need to be told.

Punctuation comment applies to further dialogue as well.

    [DOCTOR █████ ROLLS SCP-1177. AFTER ROLL (LANDS ON NUMERAL "1"), A CREATURE (DESIGNATED SCP-1177-01) APPEARS FROM A RIP IN NOTHING. ORGANISM APPEARS TO BE A DINOSAUR OF SOME SORTS. SUBJECT BREAKS OUT OF CONTAINMENT]

Why all caps?

And this is an extremely silly effect. You could at least be more specific about the type of dinosaur.

    ULTRA: OK LETS GET IN THERE! *breaks open door*

Apostrophes are your friends. "LETS" should be "LET'S". Plus, again with the 'ok' instead of 'okay'. And again with the caps. You don't want to use caps to indicate shouting. That's something you can get away with if the rest of your article is good, but it should be avoided anyway.

    SALAMANDER: Ok I got this. COME HERE YOU BEAST!! TASTE FIRE!!!!

This dialogue is pretty hilarious, and it shouldn't be. Nobody talks like this. It's not believable.

    SALAMANDER: DON'T TOUCH THAT!!!

Remember, with exclamation points, it's one or none!

    LOST IN THOUGHT, IRON DROPS SUBJECT.

Seriously? This is not believable.

    ORGANISM LOOKS LIKE NOTHING EVER RECORDED.

I doubt this.

    SLAMANADER: BURN IT!!!

Besides aforementioned errors, it looks like you got a little too excited here.

    IRON: Master, Ultra and Angel are KIA, 1177 is a Keter, repeat 1177 is-

Also not believable dialogue. "Half my squad just died! We'd better change classification ASAP!"

    THE OTHER TWO ARE MORPHED INTO WHAT LOOKS LIKE A GUN

This is turning into an episode of Axe Cop.

    MASTER: I told you…. Hostiles hav- *line dies*

Why would the line die here?

    Agent:….. M-m-master?

Nobody talks like this, nobody who's an 'agent' anyway. Kill all the stuttering. Also, get rid of the ellipses. You don't need them. And even if you did, it's just three 'periods', not four or five.

    which immediately transformed into [DATA EXPUNGED] which could barely even fit in the hallway.

Don't expunge this. It's lazy as hell.

    It had huge claws was built like a tank.

Grammar. You need an "and" in between "claws" and "was".

Okay. I'm pretty much done here. Basically, this article is either a troll article or so bad it may as well be. Author, if you're not trolling here, then I recommend tossing this and starting afresh. With a new idea. I just can't see "Dice of Summon Monster" going anywhere good.
