						 <p>I agree with everything that has been said by Double and add that there is a lot of details and attempts at shock and awe with no actual substance to it.</p> <p>Why are there a 100 channels instead of one? Why would it know a ton of languages, including dead ones? What do the extreme emotional reactions actually bring to the table? If the reactions are already the result of an anomaly, why would the content need to be about classified information and not just regular goings-on that trigger such a disproportionate reaction?</p> <p>The article also possesses a lack of experience, both worldly and site-wise. A TV cannot have a computer virus. It doesn't work that way. Some smart TVs can, but that is not how you prevent a broadcast of a channel. Add unto that the Authority &quot;putting the virus in every TV in the world&quot; - something that the Authority is not capable of. It is not omniscient and omnipotent, and not like the Foundation that is written to be capable in such a way.</p> <p>Don't be discouraged by your first idea not turning out well. Use what was told to improve it and keep developing it: put time into research and writing, and I'm sure it will turn out swell.</p>

						 <p>You've technically done your homework in fleshing this out, but it's creatively insipid. &quot;Meta&quot; articles that primarily target anomalies or anomalous organizations, without careful consideration, tend to be the weakest, because they stamp out the fun of the genre's original premise: inexplicable things occurring in ordinary life. An anomaly that only deals with anomalies cancels itself out in this regard. A skilled author can make a good story with this anyway, but it has to be given meaning.</p> <p>There already is a TV show RPC that reports on other anomalies: <a href="http://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/rpc-673">RPC-673</a> has an in-universe purpose and explanation for existing and a ton of identity on its own. This doesn't mean there isn't room for a second anomalous TV show, but I think it helps demonstrate how how bland <em>this</em> premise is. In this idea, there's no motivation, just random&#8230; I guess it would be mischief? Andras is hardly a character, just a stereotypical perception of what a creepy dude looks and acts like. This show, like every other part of its idea, is just there to fill space where something logically should be. The emotional property is pointless. It doesn't add anything to the concept or story. The discovery log and incident log are also meaningless. When you add to a body extra formless material that only exists to take up space, you're not fleshing it out, you're just making cancerous tumors. All these need to be cut and/or replaced with actual writing.</p> <p>The anomaly's only real purpose is being annoying to deal with, which puts it in an odd place being both overpowered and incredibly lame. The Authority has to resort to ridiculous, implausible measures to contain it. It's more silly and frustrating than anything.</p> <p>(By the way, I'm not going to point out grammar mistakes in your idea thread because it would be a waste of your time and mine. It's fairly readable, and more in-depth grammar criticism should be saved for an actual draft.)</p>

It was discovered that both audio and visuals on the broadcasts will induce those Cognitive Hazards.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Example:</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">* If the anomaly is in any way humorous to the individual, they will experience uncontrollable laughter that may lead to a heart attack.</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">* If the anomaly is in any way scary to the individual, they will be either petrified with fear, turn off their device, or destroy the device.</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">* If the anomaly is in any way intriguing to the individual, they will become obsessed with the supernatural to the point of neglecting their own health.</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">* If the individual stays on a static of RPC-XXX instance, they will begin to experience a growing sense of dread and paranoia until they either run away from the device or go unconscious due to emotional overload.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">All channels have the same host calling himself Andras, but the Authority classified it as XXX-02.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">XXX-02 can exit on multiple channels at the same time, talking about different events.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">XXX-02 appears to be a man in his late 50s of caucasian ethnicity with ash gray skin, sky blue eyes, and long, sharp nails.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">XXX-02 is shown to always wear the same gray suit with thin white horizontal lines, a pair of round glasses, and an ever-changing number of ornate rings.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">XXX-02 is shown to be able to speak all known, living or dead languages on Earth and a large number of languages not known to the Authority.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">When on air, XXX-02 is shown to always have a wide toothy grin, and depending on the viewer, XXX-02 will be antagonistic towards Authority personnel.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">XXX-02 always appears before and after the live broadcast, but this has never been helpful in finding new anomalies, and the cognitive hazards effects were considered too harmful for further experiments.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Containment Protocols: A computer virus was created and imbibed into every TV in the world, whose purpose is to block those channels.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Contingency Containment Protocols:</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">* If the containment protocols stop working for any reason, Operation Hijack will be put into action, and a hostile takeover of all 100 channels will take place until new or better containment protocols are created.</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">* If Operation Hijack fails for any reason, Operation Blackout will be put into action, and all TVs and TV-like devices will be shut down. This is an extreme measure and has to be approved by a super majority of the Global Directors and with agreement with a super majority of non-hostile AoIs.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Addendum XXX-01</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Discovery Log RPC-XXX-01</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">The first broadcast of RPC-XXX was discovered on July 15th 20XX by Authority personnel who were on vacation in Rethimno, Greece. The broadcast was playing in Greek and showing the acquisition of RPC-███, the anomalous broadcast was immediately reported to the nearest Authority site.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Addendum XXX-02</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Experiment Log RPC-XXX-01</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Attempts to contain RPC-XXX by hijacking the broadcast station will only work for a short period of time, anywhere from 15 days to 2 months.</span><br /> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Authority scientists attempted to take down one of the channels and were successful in disrupting both image and audio. But after a period of 15 days, one of the news channels was swapped with RPC-XXX and around 150 people were espoused to the Cognitive Hazards present in the broadcast.</span></p> <hr /> <p><strong>Please tell me if there's any grammar mistakes. English is not my first language, but I try my hardest to fix any mistakes. And if you're reading this, I hope that you can give me some advice. This is my first time writing something like this, and I hope you like my idea.</strong></p> <hr /></div> </div> </div> <h1><span>Ver. 2</span></h1> <p>RPC-XXX is a TV channel and a radio broadcast that showcases random RPCs as their main segment, memorials for CSDs killed while in Authority custody, sensitive government secrets, and deranged and hateful rants about the Authority, AoIs and GoIs.</p> <p>XXX-01 is an anomalous broadcast whose main anomalous property is being able to broadcast on anything that can receive either audio, video or both. The closer to the source of the broadcast, the stronger it becomes. At a proximity of around 1&#160;km from the source of the broadcast, all electronic devices able to play audio or video will be taken over by the broadcast. (If it has a screen, it will play the broadcast, if it has speakers, it will play the audio of the broadcast.)</p> <p>The broadcast is limited to around 20 km2 near the town of ████ in the eastern parts of Oregon, United States, and envelopes the entire town. The source of the broadcast is an abandoned radio station that's cut off from the power grid, but anyone who tries to approach the building starts to suffer from sensory overload (massive headaches and loud ringing in the ears), and those who entered it have said that they suffered from hallucinations of the broadcast as if they were watching on a TV screen. It can be lethal for the individual if they are not evacuated.</p> <ul> <li>At 20&#160;km from the source, the signal of the broadcast is weak and mostly filled with static and white noise.</li> <li>At 15&#160;km from the source, the signal of the broadcast is strong enough for the viewer to understand everything.</li> <li>At 10&#160;km from the source, the signal of the broadcast is so strong that it starts to take over all nearly half of the channels and radio stations.</li> <li>At 5&#160;km from the source, the signal of the broadcast is so strong that it starts to take over all channels and radio stations.</li> <li>At 1&#160;km from the source,&nbsp;the signal of the broadcast is so strong that all electrical devices capable of playing audio or video will display the&nbsp;broadcast.</li> <li>At 50&#160;m from the source,&nbsp;the signal of the broadcast is so strong that it causes&nbsp;sensory overload in most living creatures.</li> <li>At 10&#160;m from the source,&nbsp;the signal of the broadcast is so strong that it will cause visual and auditory hallucinations of the broadcast in any individual and can be lethal.</li> <li>(Should this segment be in an Addendum?)</li> </ul> <p>XXX-02 is the main host of the many segments on the channel, previously thought to be dead CSD personnel. The town of ███ is known to be the hometown of the anchor.</p> <p>The anchor has ash-like burned skin, hair covered with a layer of dust, and seemingly cracked teeth that are still holding together. (I'm not sure about this one, so here's an alt: The anchor is a silhouette of a man with no recognizable features who claims to be previously thought to be dead CSD personnel.) (Now that I wrote it, I prefer the alt version, but I will leave it as it is and hear what you have to say before making any permanent changes.)</p> <p>It's the &quot;soul&quot; of a TV anchor who vows revenge against the Authority and their victims with the aim of exposing them and other secret organizations.</p> <p>During the broadcasts, the anchor does stutter or glitch on occasions as if it was prerecorded, but on other occasions he will reference events that happen during the broadcast.</p> <p>The TV anchor was a CSD before dying due to a vehicle accident after testing with RPC-███. The accident happened due to the poor health of the driver, who suffered a heart attack and died.</p> <p>The TV anchor was never found, not even his corpse was located, and everyone involved would have thought that he made a run for it, if not for the puddles of blood leading away from the scene of the accident. A forensic team dispatched to examine the cause of the accident ruled that losing that much blood would have killed him. It was speculated that wild animals must have dragged his body away before they arrived at the scene of the accident.</p> <p>There are some inconsistencies with the way XXX-02 behaves and its knowledge about anomalies. Examples include talking about the life of a CSD and not knowing anything about the RPC that caused their death, but having hosted a segment about that RPC only a few days ago.</p> <p>It has been concluded that XXX-02's mind is unable to hold onto the information from one TV segment to the next. The cuts between segments may be the source of memory loss, as XXX-02 is always groggy when a new segment begins.</p> <p>XXX-02 was also caught answering and even speaking directly to researchers stationed near XXX-01.</p> <p>Containment Protocols: A 2m tall chain link fence was built around the anomaly with barbwire on top to keep anyone from entering its anonymous broadcast. A single Authority Security Force agent is stationed at the only gate leading inside. Six jamming stations were built on the border of the broadcast signal, where it's the weakest, to prevent anyone who gets through to access the broadcast.</p> <p>A cover was created that a sinkhole exposed natural gases, and the area was too dangerous for anyone to enter.<br /> The town of ███ is around 16&#160;km from the source of the broadcast and with the help of The Office of Extranormal Security Affairs they evacuated the town.</p> <hr /> <h1><span>Don't Bother Anymore, I'm Writing A Full Draft.</span></h1> <p>Don't Bother Anymore, I'm Writing A Full Draft.</p>
