WIP and almost finished. Just need a table listing out various performances and a conclusion.
If you think a dialogue segment resembles you or someone you know, don't. I literally based this off my experiences lurking.
Current critic list: bXluYW1lamVmZg,
PhoenixOfHope,
ICFD,
Croal.
Copied from discord by request even though refused to because of the content and lenght.
The draft is good enough for the mainlist, i've seen WIP part, finish it and i guess you'll be very ready.
I really like your efforts on the chat part. It's a solid draft. Concept of RPC-X-omega and RPC-X-A is good enough. The pic is good too even tho the river part still wip.
I'd guess the only problem is that i dont understand the PINK FLAMINGO incident, why it's named like that instead of Incident-X-1, and the relation with the chat. But i assume that's because its still WIP.
It's damn short. I know.
Due to the minuscule participation of anonymous users (highest count at 21 users) on media related to targetted ARGs, RPC-X is considered either self-containing or highly manageable for data redaction algorithms.
The entity primarily targets abandoned or inactive ARGs (alternate reality games)1 via highly advanced hacking software,2 which masks itself anonymously from the host websites, wireless encryption protocols, and antivirus networks.
move the foot note to the first instance where you mention ARGs.
The following excerpts were compiled together by Researcher Ammes and were truncated from over 48 archived ARGs.
Consequently, this allows for I/O RODGER to operate at 45% more efficiency 45% more efficiently when identifying and predicting clusters of RPC-X affected individuals by contrast with other electronic or digitized anomalous memes.
It revolved around the individuals' dismay at failing to attract the opposite gender; each posted pictures of themselves with swollen and deformed pseudo-muscles, which were in actuality the product of copious injections of olive oil.
This is great, what the actual fuck?
On the eight eighth screen, a large woodlands map of the Selma territory is depicted with two peepholes present.
We had set up monitoring devices to detect for the entity, anomalous activity, or even the appearance of instances end sentence Yet as RPC-X livestreams continued add comma it became abundantly apparent that none would enter the warehouse, nor would the interiors interior change to conform to set-pieces or props. However, the reoccurrence of the warehouse suggests a pathological behavior behind the entity; perhaps, it is their its comfort zone — similar to serial murderers with typified callsigns and areas in which they frequent.
Also put this in quotations.
Well shit, that was really good. You have nailed down the language perfectly. The parts that are supposed to sound clinical sound like something I would find in an actual scientific paper. Not only that, but the parts from the internet chat rooms actually read like an internet chat room. Well done on that ground.
I'll admit, there are a few parts where the piece needs a bit of chewing in order to get what's going on, but it's not the end of the world, and anyone with a half decent vocabulary/google can get by just fine. I don't think you should dumb down the language, as the clinical writing style is sort of the whole point.
By the time you reach the chat logs, you can easily figure out what's going on, and holy shit those chat logs. I actually got scared by the last few, that is extremely rare.
Other than finishing the work and filling in the gaps, I have no way to improve this, it's extremely well written.
Fantastic work.
Followed and edited!
Only thing I sort of reneged on was the placement of the footnote on ARGs in the Special Containment Procedures as past experience lurking on IRC critters has told me ConProcs is sort of usually skimmed.
Besides that, I didn't want to bog it down with too many footnotes.
Shit you were right about the sole stuff, I goodled bad.
Containment Protocols: I/O RODGER was developed for the sole purpose of tracking and censorship of materials pertaining to RPC-X on video sharing and hosting websites, though specific subroutines and weights must be updated manually, as to incorporate radically divergent styles in instances of filmography.

Suggest putting this in a footnote instead
Preventative measures to restrict information containment breach follow guidelines under Authority Witness Protection and Detainment Programs.
All known cases reveal that the affected ARG(s) will have their narratives "hijacked"
change Hijacked to commandeered without quotation marks
A lot of the operating system stuff I can't comment on, I'm just not educated enough in that area. The third paragraph is written quite well from what I can tell
If the individual had been an active participant or "player" in the ARG, they will instantaneously vanish from their location, save for articles of clothing or objects left behind.
If the individual had been an active participant or "player" in the ARG, they will instantaneously vanish from their location - Put the rest in a footnote "Object or clothing on the subjects person at the time will remain"
I think its sole purpose but had to look it up. Am open to being wrong on this as I sort of just wrote it like that. Wait, was sole purpose the original text? I'm forgetting, but its sole purpose currently.
Made the other edits and will standby for others. Will be implementing more final touches as you read so my mistake if there's any cross-over.
Thank you.
This article is exceptionally well crafted, from the overall clinical tone, to the attention to detail in the chat logs. This makes the few issues I can address rather… minimal, I suppose. The first real point I can bring up is that there should be a footnote briefly explaining the concept of anti-memetics for readers unaware of the concept. Secondly, the addendum is quite sizeable. It would make more sense to simply make this part of the main article in question- if that makes sense? -rather than tacking it on at the end as what appears to be a diagetic afterthought by the researchers who compiled this information. They would probably consider the sightings to be numerous enough to warrant more succinct cataloguing, though I may simply be out of the loop regarding the nature of addendums; Particularly in SCP articles, which are often rife with sprawling addendums. It might be wise to instead condense the information (in its format, not content, the word count is just fine), employing well-organized and clearly labeled collapsibles.
AAAAARRRRRGGGG
Containment Protocols: I/O RODGER I think you should specify that this is an Authority webcrawler, like putting something like "An Authority webcrawler by the name of" at the start of the sentence. was developed for the sole purpose of tracking and the censorship of materials pertaining to RPC-X on video sharing and hosting websites, though specific subroutines and weights must be updated manually, as to incorporate radically divergent styles in instances of filmography. The algorithm's current list of key-search Remove hyphen terms includes:
- blogs
- transmedia
- amateur documentaries
- exploitation films
- livestreams
- indie art projects
- internet hoaxes/viral marketing
- dream journals
- deep web search engines and extensions such as onion links
You should capitalize the first letter of each key search term.
Following identification of an RPC-X-Ω instance, an Authority field agent is to liaise with law enforcement appropriate to the instance's last-known Remove hyphen state and address. Internal missing person lists on Authority databases are to be updated accordingly. Catatonic individuals who fall outside of RPC-X-Ω instantiation are to be monitored and amnesticized should they recover.
Due to the minuscule participation of anonymous users on media related to targetted targeted ARGs, RPC-X is considered either self-containing or highly manageable for data redaction algorithms.
Description: RPC-X denotes a series of livestreams that occurred on various video streaming platforms, each done by an account under the moniker "how2c&rvEN1gg3rz." The entity primarily targets abandoned or inactive ARGs (alternate reality games)1 via highly advanced hacking software, which masks itself anonymously from the host websites, wireless encryption protocols, and antivirus networks. All known cases reveal that the affected ARG(s) will have their narratives "hijacked" and repurposed to fulfill interjected storylines. Multiple proxies have been traced to the proliferation of new content; information regarding the whereabouts of the entity have been inconclusive.
The selection process for web content pertaining to an ARG is unknown. By contrast, a pattern of non-anomalous rootkits consistently appears prior to RPC-X exposure. Technical audits reveal comparative behaviors, such as similar methods of self-injection into CPU pipelines, and the removal of evidence on process and execution lists. Inconsistencies within operating systems, such as unexplained changes in target systems and improper diagnostic routines, are oft often indistinguishable from malicious attacks unrelated to RPC-X. Given current technological restrictions, it is impossible to definitively prevent RPC-X incursions.
Should individuals view RPC-X directly, they will become catatonic after 10-15 minutes.2 If the individual had been an active participant or "player" in the ARG, they will instantaneously vanish from their location, save for articles of clothing or objects left behind. Instantiation causes a virulent, infohazardous, antimeme to spread to witnesses of said displacement. Thus, cognition of their last-known location is forgotten, as witnesses will attest to these events as being "gaps" or "blanks" left within their memory. Therein, a simulacrum or approximation of the individual (hereby designated RPC-X-Ω) is found within the instigating livestream. If multiple individuals view the livestream, they will experience the same phenomena.
NOTE: For the purposes of examination and peer review, all RPC-X live streams livestreams were recorded on video formats, thus, rendering the anomalous effects impotent. More information on practical safety measures is found in the attached Psychotronic Conversion Templates Manual.
Original Title: "Babyfurs 2009"
Previous Summary: The narrative of this ARG pertained to Youtube comments made by accounts with some variation of the name "babyfurs". These accounts would present startling discussions are as fairly innocuous DIY videos on Youtube in 2009. Reoccurring sample comments include:
Each linked to a white page with a singular media player. On 2015/06/06, the media player flipped to an RPC-X live stream livestream.
Previous Summary: An incomplete Adobe Flash Game puzzle was to present links to several static html files regarding the "Murder of Junko Furuta". A heavily obscured photo was designed to pop-up on the user's browser had they achieved the right configuration within the game.
Current Summary: A complete Adobe Flash Game puzzle with hidden artifacts in the form of image macros. These lead to various onion links; individual links presented Junko Furuta in increasingly distorted images. Malware would infect audio devices on the user's computer configuration and would output humming and vocalizations. These sounds would increase should the user see "DEEPDREAMING" become more apparent on the websites crosslinked, which is presumed to be an indicator by the entity that the user was on the right path. Sections of the final-end Remove hyphen leading to RPC-X exposure were blocked from users without headsets detected on their OS. After receiving an instruction to plug in headphones, earbuds, or earphones, a prompt called "PROCEED" would be displayed. Afterward, all websites would link to unpublicized files of Junko Furuta in various states of undress and decomposition. Inaudible assemblages of Russian, Japanese, and a hitherto unknown language were sung in binaural frequencies.
RPC-X Viewing: RPC-X-Ω-01 to RPC-X-Ω-17 instances manifested within a large, dark tunnel set-piece; the archways, pillars, and paper walls are draped with viscera and fecal sludge. Spotlight rays shoot out from an unknown source beyond ceiling cracks and illuminate surfaces. As the camera operator moves forward a flowing stream from is heard. Eventually, the view shifts to naked -01 to -16 instances that stand erect next to red pillars. They hold large loudspeakers that obscure their chest and genitals. Their faces resemble the distortions and lacerations used on Junko Furuta.
Low-pitched and muffled screams are heard. From the foreground, a placard written in Kanji is zoomed-in Remove hyphen which translates to, "Low is the dream, sleep is the key." As depicted by spurious and sometimes panicked flash-cuts backward, instances of RPC-X-Ω trail behind the camera operator. Rhymic Rhythmic chanting is heard in Balachkan (an old Cossack dialect); "the mouth of the river, the scream from the mouth, the door is Cheremosh, the Cicadas sing from the Other."
At the end of the tunnel is an open doorway that leads to a highway intersection. Notably, all cars are immobile as the operator jaywalks to the other end and continues down a dirt road for 29 minutes before it stops at a campfire. RPC-X-Α is depicted on a gurney giving birth. A burning man appears from off-screen beside the fire and attempts to open RPC-X-A's cervix. A plastic doll head sprouts from her swollen labia and the camera zooms in, centering on the doll's eyes. Then, the live stream livestream ends.
Second addendum; upon further viewing, me and my associates marked that the burning man resembled one of the instances used in the first excerpt. Indeed, facial recognition algorithms presented a 91% comparison rating. It had been a role reprisal. The agenda, whilst unclear, presents a startling notion: instances can be used freely by the entity due to an unclear anomalous capabilities. Furthermore, it presents itself as a continuous question into the unknown. From where do these live streams take place? From where are the actors stored?"
On 2019/05/29, a widescale RPC-X showing was launched on the rabb.it web sharing platform. Over 1,516 laptops, home computers, phones, and servers were seized by the MST Foxtrot-88 ("Drag-n-Drop"). Reports indicate that more than 589 online users were affected and rendered catatonic from the event. MST Foxtrot-88 launched widespread investigations, liaising with law enforcement, medical staff at clinics or hospitals, I think you should maybe replace the "or" in this with a slash. and network administrators from internet providers. The following chat logs are archived for posterity. You should specify what application or website these chat logs were retrieved from.
Users in the aforementioned chat log became unresponsive after several minutes and were confirmed to be newly spawned RPC-X-Ω instances. However, an account belonging to "UwUAdministration" was hacked by an untraceable proxy IP and subsequently changed its name to "how2c&rvEN1gg3rz." The following details the interaction between the hacked account and the server it had newly joined.
Last known voice recording by Katie Ammes after relocation to a safehouse: I am glad the request to reexamine the potential for anomalous interference of secondary media containing RPC-X content was approved. I am on the road. I am in a black van. My husband holds my right hand and I'm here with my sweethearts, cradling them with the left. I'm watching the heart monitor. I know its it's watching. I know it's here.
All in all, that was a great article. I loved the whole ARG theme, and how you explored it. The chat logs really captured the feel of being in a chatroom full of 4chan trolls and people like that. The horror in the article was pretty good as well.
HowEVER, I do think you could change up the formatting of the final audio recording. The big bold text in the exact same paragraph as the normal text is a little jarring. Maybe add "The following document is the last known voice recording by Katie Ammes after relocation to a safehouse" as the last sentence of the previous paragraph.
I would give this 5 stars if you fixed up the issues I pointed out. Amazing work.
blabbo
“are oft indistinguishable“
Often
You shouldn’t use incel it isn’t a real word but if you insist on using it put it in quotation marks and put the definition of it as a footnote
“Afore them is”
Before
“individual RPC-X-Α resembled had recently expounded on trauma related to a series of physical assaults he had incurred as a child.”
individual RPC-X-Α had recently spoken about trauma related to a series of physical assaults he had incurred as a child.(it seems like you used “expounded” wrong in this sentence, if you can find a replacement for “spoken about” please do)
“discussions are fairly innocuous”
On fairly innocuous
“streamlined various ARGs are to the artistic styles and preferences the entity favors at that current iteration."
I’m probably just a dumbass but I don’t get this line and “to the” doesn’t sound right idk why.
“A heavily obscured photo designed to pop-up”
Was designed to pop-up
“stream from is heard.”
Idk what’s supposed to replace “from” but I know it isn’t right
“faces resemble the distortions and lacerations used on Junko Furuta.”
I don’t get this are the pics just not that distorted or did the rpc do this by anomalous means? Because I don’t think you can make someone’s face look like a computer made distortion by non-anomalous means.
“Camera lingers on darkness in front.”
Reword this it doesn’t sound right
“Immobile as the operator jaywalks”
What operator? The camera operator? Make this more clear
“reexamine the potential”
For the potential
“intranet. And that. That unsettles”
What do you mean by “And that.”? If she’s pausing then put 2 more periods after “that”. If it’s a faster pause or like a stutter or some shit then put a dash after “that” instead.
It’s good but it’s a bit confusing you jump from one thing to another a bit fast which isnt really a big deal cuz this can be easily fixed by some rewording and/or at least some spacing. Or maybe I’m just a dumbass idk. Another thing is you don’t really make it clear how they connect the video to the arg do they watch the vid first then find the rest or is it the other way around? And what’s really the difference between the -A and -Ω instances I know they disappear in different ways but other then that there’s really no difference and it just adds to the confusion. (if I’m not just a dumbass and this really is the only real difference then just remove -Ω and just say “an -A can be made/occur in 2 different ways” or something like that you know what I mean?) More importantly how the hell does the authority even know the difference between them while watching the videos? Other then these things and the wording mistakes it’s pretty interesting and good.
