What is our equivalent for Neutralized?

This is the discussion related to the wiki page Object Classes.
Should we include an object classification for RPC's that are used to contain other RPC's? Or is that a moot classification, since there will be potentially more cross-testing for this sort of thing, with other RPC's?
Lets change that one, as i think its more appropiate because its also part of the greek alphabet
We do have the logo already:
rpcauthority(dot)wdfiles(dot)com/local—files/rpc-format/omega
(curse my low karma for not being able to link it.)
But I think we should reserve Omega for a sort of world ender, 1 in 500 RPC type sort of deal.
We should use another Greek letter for neutralized though. Maybe phi (Φ) since it looks like Ø.
With that we would have a fully comprehensive list, that is all Greek-centric and no more need for superfluous classes. We get our usual 1-3 (nearly all RPC are these) And we get our neutralized and END of world type. Ultra-rare(use VERY sparingly) That should cover it. What do you think?
(account deleted)Honestly though, provided we stick to these, I think we'll see a better quality overall.
With only this site's equivalent of Keter, we don't have to deal with people who go "THIS PIECE IS OMEGADELTAALPHABETAEPSILON BECAUSE IT WILL DESTROY THE UNIVERSE IN 10 SECONDS!"
Moonboy put it best, superfluous classes ruin consistency. And I want this site to be consistent.

where can I find a description for omega and omnicron classes??
Are we allowed to make special object class RPCs or are they used for special events only???
That Omega classification just does not work for me, in my opinion… We have several Gamma-level RPCs that could be Omega-level RPCs.
For example… RPC-899 will just destroy our reality and cannot be contained, and is a Gamma-level RPC.
That "The Nuclear Chaos" Proposal will do the same thing and still can be contained.
The only way would be to change the classification of all those RPCs, but that would be kind of boring.
Alpha-level RPC is just easy to contain, a Beta-level RPC is moderate, a Gamma-level RPC is hard/impossible to contain and a Theta-level RPC can be helpful for us.
To add on to this, I’m not quite sure why Theta is an appropriate class either. The way you listed it in the above post just made want to say something about it; Alpha is easy to contain, Beta is generally moderate, Gamma is hard to contain or uncontainable — consistent so far, right? Easy, Medium, Hard — and then Theta is helpful. Am I the only one that sees how much this sticks out? Sure, it helps with containment, but how is it contained? Is it easy to contain, unpredictable, or hard to contain? I don’t see how an object with Theta-Class somehow has containment implications that do not divide into easy, medium and hard. Why can’t its helpful properties simply be mentioned in the description?
Like, imagine in-universe; a researcher’s perspective perhaps. You really need to know about the basics of RPC-x’s containment, but really just if it’s easy or hard to contain, for a containment proposal. Or whatever other reason you’d need to see an object class for. So you go to the page, and it’s Theta. Oh cool, it’s a special case! So… um… well the Site Director told us about some Theta’s not following the standard Theta Protocol. Is this one of those? Ugh, I guess I’ll check the Containment Protoco— 4 paragraphs?!
It would be better for the "helpful" to just be listed in the coloring of the level, not the name. Like an Alpha-Purple is an easy to contain, killer anomaly, while an Alpha-White would be an easy to contain, thaumiel level entity.
Whoever was on the Lore Team or whoever wrote this in general should have kept in mind consistency - half the time RPCs were RPCS, a quarter they were objects and the rest they were anomalies. Whilst interchangeable, it reads better to use a minimal number of terms for them.
Also, you didn't capitalize Containment Rating or Lethality Rating on the first tab a fair bit.
petitioning for grammar team. ;^)
YES THE GRAMMAR TEAM.
