My problem with the current state of roleplay on SCP RP!

Valid ideas, hope they come to Site 9. Breaches based on RP rather than hacks or timers would be interesting, however people suck and will breach SCPs on purpose. Recontainments by staff would be annoying, dragging SCPs and their breachers to sits constantly, egh. Logistics is cool too, ammo and weapons being limited would be pretty interesting and not spawning with weapons would be good for the sake of the fact that you dont get out of bed with your equipment in your arms unless you're going through Full Metal Jacket marine school.
CI revamp would be interesting but at this point CI's purpose is ultimately Chaos and terrorism, this is the path we're on and it isn't changing soon. The best we can do is steer more towards RP and less from combat but CI have a difficult time finding much to do besides raids, we don't have any readily available things to do so we usually just end up being an enemy MTF with extra rooms- though we seriously try with our subdivisions and trainings. We can always improve of course, not like it's an impossible idea to shoot for.
Another big point, players taking RP as personal insults. Feels like it happens constantly, mainly because rarely does anyone discuss RP scenarios that have occurred with opponents or enemies in a joyful manner. It's almost always just "ugh, why did they do this, they're totally metagaming, that was straight up rdm" yadda yadda yadda. Not just CI, but D-Class, GOC, DEA, Nu-7, E-11, A/O-1, so on so forth, and all of these groups will have people who metagame for an advantage over the others. Honestly it may just be the player base in general. We could encourage RP leads to be cracking down on this more as an issue, besides that I don't know what the best fix would be besides reminding people to turn the other cheek or just enjoy the scenarios. I think recently a rule was introduced to combat this issue of people taking in-character stuff as an ooc problem or ooc stuff as a reason to mess with someone ingame but I forget.
Lastly just more stuff being done ingame like comms and messages would be fire. Though it's definitely become an important part of our server so it would be hard to live without but would improve quality of life. SCIPNET rework for emails and better docs would be enticing for creating docs and whatnot. Can give submissions for contests or send work via email to executives and stuff, that would be cool asf.
Overall though I really just wanted to say if you have something you want to talk about you don't have to be so crude about it. You can get a point across without calling everyone degenerates and saying all this stuff we've culminated is bullshit, everyone here is trying right alongside you to make the best of it, yknow?

First thing first. I do not read from CI page (the page you are refering that much, only the spanish version of the page which is different, the english one is meh).ci-wiki.wikidot.com user detected
using shit from ci-wiki.wikidot.com is like going to poundland and expecting the same quality of products as going to M&S
On the 'CI wiki' there are 80 articles written collectively by 20 people, and of those 20 people 2 PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN HALF THE ARTICLES (and of those two, one of them wrote 30 OF THEM)
if you want proper CI lore go onto scp-wiki.wikidot.com's chaos insurgency hub there's not as much info there but i can guarantee you everything is much higher quality than on the bootleg ci wiki site
i dont know why i hate 'ci wiki' so much but there's something about it i just really don't like
Returning to lore, If you knew about CI they were ex A1 when they were first formed 100 fucking years ago do you seriously think there's just been a steady stream of A1 joining CI for a hundred years???
Btw if you're chatting about how CI works, here's a brief description from the wiki:
The Chaos Insurgency's Delta Command, shrouded in mystery, issues orders to the lower ranks. Gamma-class researchers and military commanders have oversight over the execution of the Delta Command's orders.
Beta-class personnel, while not given the same level of command as Gamma-class, carry out the Insurgency's work in the field.
Alpha-class personnel [are] often recruited from individuals with little to no knowledge of the anomalous... They are the grunt workers: numerous and expendable... They are told that they will use the anomalous to build a utopian future, where humanity is master of everything, not just a mirage.
about that cognitohazard thing i was saying earlier, here's an excerpt from one of the SCP wiki tales about CI:
[Tale protagonist] felt his mind begin to run wild. He was being told something—the engine was telling him something. It whispered at the corners of his mind, speaking a language that Arjun couldn’t understand. The patterns of science and logic unraveled to reveal higher and higher forms of knowledge while the remains of discarded theories piled in the sewers of humanity and began to rot.
what are you even trying to say here????
Second thing. I hadn't said that A1 had joined for 100 years. There was a civil war and they assented as another organization Do not put words that didn't come from my mouth, indeed american. I hadn't said that A1 kept going and joining, they formed they classified they have an organization. Not only that, they have bases all around the globe. I often read things in english but scp wiki I rather read it in spanish my main language, there you have examples CI that have killed the O5 council, another example is in the main scp page (their sister is the wanderer's library) is CI making contact with organizations such as GRU-P, Obskura or even SEPIA. Indeed, I do not know if in international page the publish stuff like we spanish do.
Third, if you have ever been in a military training which you show that you hadn't been. They do do tests, theory for mainly officers about strategy, tactics etc. Though the real training for most of elite forces and special forces around the world are exams. Exams which are practical duties such as exercise, KH tests or in mayor trainings they do A army vs B army. Another good training for elite units such as snipers is their cammouflage, their accurate aim and their training for survival. Traduced to the game. You wouldn't do a forum theory test, you would do a proper training. Not difficult to understand.
my bad man i didn't consider anything about international pages
thanks for clarifying what you meant, if i'm not misunderstanding you i think we're both in agreement in what we want coming out of CI?
people talking about wanting serious RP, if they ever make the server Serious RP it would lose probably 75% of its playerbase
You mean like the 079 rework, which is almost exactly the same to multiple suggestion threads that were denied previously, which has now (after SCP SL has realised how bad it was to play the SCP) been accepted?
I'm aware the content teams have changed since, but CN doesn't have the best of track records when it comes to, yknow, doing this sort of stuff. Just because something is rejected doesn't mean it isn't worth talking about. Clearly.
On that note, it'd help if S9 (Site 9) Community Updates were more common, so the community actually have something to look forwards to. Don't want this becoming another SWRP sink.
