Imagine that Bay12 was some sort of otherworldly location, with us living in it. How would SCPF deal with us?

[Eric Blank]

Well they can't use amnesiacs to erase the whole game and everyone from society's collective memories and make us all disappear, so theyre kinda in the realm of "keep an eye on them and try to suppress information about the weird shit theyre doing."

But wtf do we do that is anomalous? Is DF the anomaly? Like, are characters in the game fully sapient and players refuse to acknowledge it? Ive purposely killed way too many little dudes to admit im a murderer now. I'd be worse than hitler

I feel he more means like "what if bay12 was a real place but another plane of existence", like the various planes in D&D. And if they know Bay12plane exists, that means there's probably a way to access it. So containment would probs mean preventing anything going in or coming out while remotely monitoring the parallel reality. Also possibly capturing or eliminating any entities (users) that leak out of the portal or whatever. typical SCP stuff.

Yes, that's what I mean.

But be more creative dammit. Make up containment procedures, descriptions, addendums...

So like some portion of forum users are not humans from the real world, but not AIs either? Some kind of entities that are normally only seen through their posting on the net, but are otherwise untrackable, their messages just appearing out of nowhere in the forum's database?

I have the strangest feeling that we've had this exact thread and discussion before but I can't recall when, where or why :V

No, like. I am talking demiplane logic. Separate plane of existence connected to this one via this forum. We exist, but so does the dimension-us.

That might be the amnestics wearing off. Good.

So, you are supposed to first describe the abnormality, then how to contain it.

The abnormality is a webpage. It has a yellow cartoon figure pointing at a menu.
Unplug the electronic device showing the page. Restart the device. Do NOT restore prior web activity. Reset the electronic device again. Delete your browser history forever. Never type B12
NEVER click on ANY of the categories.

I'd assume the way they'd contain it would be for all Bay12 members to commit suicide the Russian way by locking themselves inside a room and shooting themselves in the back of the head without a gun.

Problem: The Bay12plane still exists. And the users inside are now very angry.

I get that they're angry now, but they're also dead and dead angry people aren't as big a thread a live angry people.

[TurboDwarf]

The perfect way to cause a containment breach for sure.

[nenjin]

You would contain it by surrounding it with wall-to-wall low effort DF clones with no emergent gameplay. The sheer tedium and repetition of uninspired ideas would absorb the creative anarchy that is Bay12.

For a while.....

[Magmacube_tr]

For a while.....

Ah, yes, the ominous Apollyon hook that leads to the most recent iteration of the file where all hell breaks loose.

Life finds a way.
