What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggests that SCP-073 becomes a whitelisted only SCP just like 096, where you would have to make an application to play as them.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Better roleplaying experience for both the POI's and whoever is playing 073.
- People who have a deeper understanding on 073 can enjoy him more.
- Less FailRP situations and reports.
- People can understand the rules specific to 073 better when making an application.
- Less incidents of 073 accidentally deflecting bullets back at someone in combat.
- Many people currently don't roleplay researching as 073 though he is a researcher himself, adding a whitelist can increase these situations of roleplay.

(Situational pro's)

- Imagine you're shooting down a hallway at a breached SCP and 073 starts to walk by, if 073 is whitelisted the player would understand to walk side to side with the nearest wall to avoid you shooting them.
>- If 073 isn't whitelisted it's a higher chance that they will walk infront of your bullets if they don't know the rules or passive ability.

- Imagine CI is raiding the base and 073 is following them out after being told to follow them, if 073 is whitelisted the player would understand it is FailRP to betray the foundation and leave the facility even after being told to follow them.
>- If 073 isn't whitelisted the player could possibly break the rules by leaving with CI without knowing.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- One less SCP that can be played without VIP or an Application.
- Less people playing 073.


Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

Overall there is more pro's than con's that I could think of (Around 8 pro's to 2 con's) meaning overall for what I could think of, it would be a great addition for 073.

Making 073 have restrictions may seem like a bad idea to some and I agree in some ways, mostly because a lot of SCP's currently need you to pay (As well as 096's application.) and this can restrict SCP even further. In my opinion this can easily be avoided though since an application for 073 would more be rule-understanding focused rather than 096's need to roleplay correctly and have skills related to breaching. Taking these into consideration 073 would by far be an easier application than 096, making it easy and fast to take time out your day to read on 073 specific rules and make an application. Possible questions may be:

Can you leave foundation as 073 if told to by CI?: Y/N

Do you avoid breaches and fights as 073?: Y/N



A lot of 073 players currently don't know the specific rules directed to themselves as there's many, so making the SCP whitelisted will force them to read and understand them easily.



Basically the only con's that I could think of are related to restricting SCP more, but these can be forgotten as an application for 073 should be easy on paper.

+\- Neutral
Instead of whitelist how about make it require research level 15, like Sr. Researcher, as very few will fill a forum for it. This alternative could bar off majority of minges and not require an app.
I agree, this can also be good.
 
-Support

Just take him out the game,

-Nobody RP's with him
-People just body block
-people just open doors for Dclass making Gensec life harder.
-He just stands their doing absolutely nothing

Whitelisting him would be pointless, If you want to make a Application to have 073 then you're mental

Replace him...

Making an application for it is better than removing it.

1. Devs don't have to put in extra effort to remove something they created just because no one plays him 'correctly'

2. No one wants a SCP removed as the SCP list is already tight and small.

3. An application for 073 wouldn't be a mental thing as you would most likely do it either for other applications, or if you would want to rp him.


Now, to contradict your reasons why he should be removed.

1. Nobody RP's as him : That is the exact point of the whitelisted application, it allows more RP to happen since you won't put time and effort into an application to minge.

2. People just body block : Another point of making him application based, people would understand 073's specific rules to understand that is FailRP in which makes this statement occur way less.

3. People just open Dblock doors making gensecs life harder : This is an issue with all SCPs with access to cards, not specific to 073. 2295 and 999 both have access to dblock and a level 1 card, and I would say they open door's more than 073 since they are a lower needed level to play.

4. He stands there doing absolutely nothing : This is an issue for admins not the gameplay, for ALL SCPs (Can exclude 7722 for his rule to stand still) if you AFK you will be kicked off the SCP.


All the claims you made would actually benefit from 073 becoming a whitelist SCP. Aswell as none of what you said correlates to 073 gameplay with someone knows the rules and what to do, you only brought up people who play 073 to fuck around and minge, which goes with every single SCP in the game like 2295 and 999.

If you want to -Support something that actually benefits the game, come up with a good reason that is specific to 073 and it's core gameplay, how it will affect the playerbase, how it will change SCP, ect.


P.S: If 073 becomes whitelist, there will be way way less occurrences of him blocking doors, opening doors for dclass, and afking as their whitelist can be taken away for breaking rules:)

-support | Gaining XP as an SCP is already hard enough with the longer breach timers and there are plenty locked behind VIP+ that you need to grind hours for or pay IRL money

Either make him whitelist which i feel is a little much since making applications for Cain would be alot for the team on the staff team that does that and just making him a higher level possibly and giving him a rework like a whole new very cool rework still revolving around his lore and his ability to not be shot or harmed.
 
+Support 073 players just run around infobreaching, getting in the way of combat, or being a general nuisance to people. He is unkillable by any conventional means, he is unfun to play as or around due to his low requirements, and his lack of "special ability" (like playing for 999 or healing for 2295, or breaching for 912) do not grant him any reason to exist on the server as-is.

Suggestion Denied



Hi Mr Hugs,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reasons.

SCP 073 is a very rarely played SCP due to its RP nature.
We won't be limiting the player base even further just so you could RP with it.
However we are planning on changing some aspects of the SCP to make it more fun and popular,

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
