 Oh hoi hoi and welcome back to another SCP game. Wait, really? Look at this. We're definitely in an SCP Foundation facility. And that's definitely Dr. Sumerian, or at least some version of him. Look at this. What is this? I don't know. Ugh. It's an interesting game though, isn't it? I think most of you, anyone familiar with GTA, fair enough. I think anyone who's particularly familiar with GTA V will actually recognize this for exactly what it is, GTA V. But I, you know, you got so much character customization. Nope. Nope. Nope. Not right now. Do a mantra. I've actually had a lot of opportunities to... I did... This is like the last major property I bought in this game, but I didn't realize how close it was to the SCP Foundation as a, like, style. But pretty cool stuff going on here. Unfortunately, I don't have much else to show you, because I just bought the base facility. But, uh, let's see. Let's leave. Alright. This is GTA V. I've been playing a little bit. The only reason... I'm only going to play it once for as a video, unless there's some sort of strange, like, overwhelming outcry of people wanting to see more of it. But, um... Teleporting to my apartment in Los Santos. Uh... I'm going to play it a little bit. Talk about why I got banned from all contests ever. That seems like an appropriate game for that. I actually did this once before. No, hold on. Why not? So I actually played through this a little bit on a previous one, and I realized that this microphone right here... Let's screw that guy. I realized that this microphone right here is actually, at least for what I'm doing right now, until I get a lapel mic. It's probably... It not probably. It's certainly so much higher quality than that, that I decided to re-record everything. But, uh, yeah, we're going to do a little bit of cash farming, until the battery goes dead on my camera, which also happened last time. So, we'll try to keep this in the 20 to 30 minute range, because I only recently bought it, and I haven't purchased backup batteries yet, which I'm going to do on the first when I get my Patreon money. The important part is that this microphone here will work for this in a pinch, for what we need it to do. So, first of all, let's start on actually making some money today, because apparently, there's some bonus cash for the... one of the types of missions that I do today. So, we're going to do that, but even when I did it normally and grinded out cash that way, it was actually still pretty profitable. But yeah, there's a lot of SCP-themed stuff in... Oh! Ah, that was the one other thing I wanted to show you. Actually, my desktop background. That's not what I wanted to show you. Hold on, I'll get there eventually. All right, come on. All right, there we are. No, wait, that's the bank. That's not my apartment. Hold on. We'll figure this out. All right. So, if you look at the vehicles, you can see the SCP logo there on the side. I actually chose this crew, because they had the SCP logo that I wanted, because there were other crews that had an SCP logo with a white background. And that felt kind of wrong somehow. This used to be my work course for running missions until I was able to run enough missions to afford that thing back there. Well, to afford a nightclub, then a terabyte, then that thing back there, which was quite a lot of additional costs. Anyway, that's not important. Oh, if you wanted to add me as a friend, I suppose that this would be the name you need to look up? I don't know how that works. Yeah, that is my whatever. Anyway, let's talk about why I got banned from all contests. Well, you know what? We'll talk about that in just a moment first. I wouldn't want to do that. That would definitely not be advertiser friendly. I turned off all the music in this game, too, so that I could actually do this without getting copyright struck. But what I ended up doing last video was going through the comments, because I still have manageable comments robbing bank robbers. Yeah, there's never one on the Great Ocean Highway. Thank God, I hate going all the way out to Route 68. I'm only going to do like one run through here, because I only have about 20 to 30 minutes. So this will be the only time I do this mission. Hopefully it's in Del Perro, which is where most of my stuff is. Nope, that means it's in Vinewood? I think it is. It's never in some of these. Palomino Avenue with Spoochie? I think it does sometimes show up in Spoochie Boulevard, but I could be wrong. Regardless, it's in Vinewood, I guarantee it. Yep, there we go. So what ends up happening is I looked through all the comments of my last video, and obviously, since it was a face reveal, even though I never hid my face in the first place, people had a lot of comments about my face. First of all, these black circles underneath my eyes are not from a lack of sleep. I've had them since I was a child. They just... It's just me, man. It's just me. What... It doesn't matter how much sleep I get, they do get worse, much, much worse if I don't get enough sleep. Oh, you completely forgot. I was going to say, that light actually makes them not as bad, I think. If there's no shadows going on. I completely forgot to turn my lighting setup on, because I'm an amateur, apparently. I'm still getting used to this. But, um... Yeah, so... There was a lot of comments about my appearance, about as many of them as I thought would be, like, oh yeah, you don't look anything like I thought you'd sound. You don't look anything like you sound, which I don't really know what that means, but I mean, it's one of those things that you just kind of know. And since I don't just kind of know, it's kind of... Alright, now that we triggered that, we'll get the Minigun guy to come outside. There we go. Minigun guy is gone. Well, he's not gone, but he's dead. And so now we can get into this bank. Yeah, don't worry about it. So anyway... Yeah, um... You know, I actually bought a Dr. Sumerian... Well, a black shirt. A black button-up shirt, long sleeves. Uh... And a yellow clip-on tie, which by the way, the S&P Foundation staff would all be using clip-on ties, because otherwise you're carrying around the thing that can kill you. Wait, no, this is gold, so I just have to wait. The problem with the gold is that it could be going anywhere. I thought this was diamonds for a second. Anyway... But yeah, my... I'm not really all that bothered by most of it. That's not... Let's be completely and totally honest with ourselves here. When someone says that I look terrible, it does bother me. But it's not something that like... I find particularly important throughout the day. I actually think that bothers me less than when people are like, oh my god, you're so cute. Somehow that makes me more uncomfortable. But, uh... It's because I'm used to, uh... being... I'm used to a negative self-evaluation. Let's put it that way. Regardless... Let's talk... I got about 10, 20 minutes. We can talk about the, uh... I'm gonna have backup battery soon, so this will not... I won't be like running on a timer here. But yeah, let's talk about the contest ban. So, about one or two years ago, it's really difficult for me to remember. It's... It can have been more than a year ago, I would think. I mean, it can have been more than two years ago, longer than one year. So somewhere in that area. Yeah. Alright. Hold on. Let's get this going. Alright. But, um, about... There was a 72-hour jam contest, which, uh... I won. But... My tactics were not exactly approved by the contest runners. Well, I should say runner. Half of the contest runners were fine with it, it seemed. There's a whole story behind that. The other half of it were enraged that I had ruined their contest, because I sent several hundred personal messages over Wikidot asking people to read my article. Not telling them how to vote, not asking them... Not even asking them for a vote. I think it was just tell me what your feedback is. Because the contest rules had specifically asked for as much feedback as we wanted. So that's what I did. There we go. So, I asked for as much feedback as I could possibly do. And me and another guy were doing the exact same thing, actually. We were both sending messages directly to people, asking them to look at our articles. And I won, and the other guy placed second. Except the contest runners, despite us doing absolutely nothing against the rules, decided that he was just going to make a fiat decision. Which essentially means that no contest really means anything if they can just change the rules halfway through and go, you're disqualified. But they don't see it that way. And I'm sure that people that end up winning probably don't see it that way either. The problem with that is that I disagreed with it on like a core basis. I thought that the ruling was silly. I thought everything about it was silly, to be honest with you. Because I had actually talked to the other contest runners. I talked to the other half of it and they actually just asked me for like tips and tricks on how to do it. And it wasn't one of those what you call it they weren't trying to trick me or anything. It wasn't like, aha we caught you. You've given us all of your secrets. No, this person legitimately and honestly wanted to know what I was up to. And it gave me the inclination that whatever I was up to was fine. But when the guy contacted me, I was like you know, I don't know. I even said I was like, listen the, okay yeah, you say stop, I stop. That was that was literally the extent of the conversation originally. The other half of the contest owner was like, I don't want you doing that anymore. So I was like, okay, then I won't. And his response was, okay, cool. And then and then things escalated because as they always do, are you going to make this difficult, man? Just die already. And now I'm out of fucking missiles. All right, really only one solution to this is to wait out the police and then, yeah. So what ended up happening was the other contest runner got mad at me for something different or I should say something separate. And because of that he decided I don't think it was like a conscious decision on his part. I think he just got mad at me about something else and then thought, you know what this motherfucker is ruining my contest and then he does this other thing. You know what that other thing he did originally ruin my contest was not something I'm willing to brush off and just say stop doing it and don't do it again. And he essentially escalated it into a actual disciplinary issue. And this person I'm talking about is let me say because the problem is that if I call him an asshole on my channel here I'll probably end up getting a disciplinary thing. Yeah, believe it or not I'll probably get a disciplinary thing on my record on the SCP Wiki itself. Does that seem strange to you? Then welcome to my world. But anyway so we're not going to call him an asshole but I'm definitely an asshole. And when two assholes run into each other sometimes things don't go well. I can't remember how to get into this fucking car park. I've had to do this before. Yeah, when two assholes end up running into each other things don't always go well for the asshole that has slightly less power and in this particular case the guy with the most power was the guy running the contest. So he banned me from that contest, disqualified me from that contest, and then ah, here we go. He banned me from the contest, disqualified me from the contest, and then nice. And then I thought that was going to be it. Well, not yet. And then he gave me a contest ban of seven contests. And in fact, because I wanted things to be fair originally, because the guy messages me, one of two people doing the exact same thing and says I can't do it anymore. Now we're in an actual contest of wills. We'd been joking around for days about how, you know, one of us is going to crack and one of us is going to stop first. And I was like, oh, this doesn't seem fair. And he's like, well, we haven't got any complaints about the other guy. And I'm like, listen if you're going to make it against the rules you should at least warn him so that he doesn't end up in, you know you're going to tell me to stop. Somebody else is doing the exact same thing. Probably let him know that it's no longer okay. But the other guy but the contest runner thought that that was me being like I'm innocent. Look at this other guy because I guess that's how children act and they just expect everybody on the wiki to be acting like children which I say, you know it's one of those things when it comes to the SCP wiki that is pretty much a guarantee if there's a 15 year age requirement and a lot of the SCP wiki staff are actually pretty young and they do tend to treat most people as though they do not have the sense that God gave an onion after it was all said and done with I remember I said at the time I didn't know exactly how many how many messages I'd sent and I just took a wild stab at it and said I think I sent 650 and that just became the number and later I was like no I I've looked a little bit closer it's closer to just a few hundred like no no no every time it shows up it's 650 now which is hilarious and so I was banned from seven contests the other dude ended up getting banned too which I thought was just as unfair as me but probably less because he did less message sending than I did but I think they got this idea in their heads because they're I was gonna call it I was gonna just say a bunch of fucking morons because they were misunderstanding what I wanted and thought that I was trying to get somebody else in trouble they decided that that meant that they couldn't let him go that the point of my thing was that you know remember I mentioned the point of my thing was I just want this to be an even keeled thing because at the time I thought I was still gonna be in the contest so if I can't send messages nobody can send messages that seems fair they took that to mean if I get in trouble the other person has to get in trouble because that's fair I didn't think I should get in trouble I definitely don't think if I if I don't think I should get in trouble why do you why would I think anybody else get in trouble that was the most or anything about it to me because loyalty is important to me and the idea of just like the idea if I didn't know and I should have thought about it because the thing is that's not what I want to do self promotion on the wiki is barely tolerated by wide swath of of scp authors and staff I mean it happens they acknowledge that it happens they not just going to continue to happen but they just barely tolerate it and so when you push it they're like no self-promotion is bad we're not professional writers here nobody here wants to be professional writers we're all hobbyists by the way marketing your work is like incredibly important skill for you to learn if you want to become a good writer some of you people even though I don't do writing advice videos anymore I still like to give it every once in a while and that's important for you to understand you have to learn to market yourself that's why the first one of the first or second things I teach people about about beginning as writers on the wiki is how to pitch your article ideas but anyway we're getting off track here point is I'm sitting here thinking okay well I'm ahead we're both going to have to stop that's the end of it I won then I guess probably more people complained one of which ended up doing the exact same fucking thing the next contest which and he didn't get in any trouble for it because he managed to get enough plausible deniability on board but um yeah die everyone alright so they're alerted to me now but half of them are dead last time I did this I just decided to go in guns blazing and didn't die at all but this time around I'll probably end up getting hurt I got some missiles again now that I docked this and stocked up I think they're probably only killed one of them there's another guy oh no they're both over here good I mean there is nothing to deal with alright that worked out well come on I have to get on this is the one bad part about this uh what fucking rocket bike which I love it to death but it all it has that one issue where if it flips over you cannot get on it until you flip it back over alright well so at this point I'm thinking I've got a seven contest band to go through and I believe that I would have been eligible for the 5k contest but about six months ago the idea that I was not sorry for what I did and that I didn't think that what I did was wrong was treated as evidence that if given an opportunity I did do it again and again this comes back to treating everyone on the scp wiki like they are children which maybe that's an effective method most of the time but I really feel like it's kind of an overly simplistic way to treat your player or your user base but um what ended up happening was they just like I said they decided if you don't think you did anything wrong we can no longer allow you to participate in any contest whatsoever until you acknowledge that what you've done is wrong actually I don't even know they said that they just said you have a universal ban for forever because you can't acknowledge you did anything wrong there's an implication there that if I were to be like yes what I did was incorrect and against the rules even though they weren't against the rules and wasn't incorrect that I would see I can't do it I just can't fucking do it and people will be like I can acknowledge when I am wrong because I'm wrong about a lot of stuff I'll tell you what I was wrong about despite the fact that I don't think it was wrong I should have immediately understood and at the time I guess it was just my own stupidity but I did not understand just how hostile people were to the idea of self promotion and that's on me because regardless of what I think reality should be it is what it is really god damn it yeah regardless of what I think I always say this to people is like I thought I could get both at the same time it should not be as hard as it is this is not a difficult puzzle in fact this is the easiest one I think um it's not even a puzzle it's just timing I'm not gonna risk it we'll take as long as we need um what you end up learning is that people feel a certain way and you have to respect that regardless of whether or not you think they should feel that way and us sending those messages we thought would be taken in the spirit that it was given of just all those silly guys they love their self promotion but no it was taken in the spirit of you guys have no respect for anybody other than yourself now I think that's silly and I think that's stupid but also it is what people believe and it wouldn't be too much of a logical leap from people's previous behavior for me to expect them to believe that so it's on me to understand what other people are gonna how other people are gonna react to the things I do and say not up to them to understand what I really meant so what I learned is like I said before that really the people in the scp wiki will always treat people as though they are children because when it comes to down to it like for most people on the scp wiki that's the best possible option that's what comes from having quite a lot of people and staff and on the side as young as they are a lot of people who believe if I think it should be this way and it isn't this way I'm gonna flout the rules until it is that way which is their main reason I'm banned from all contests ever because they can't conceive of the idea of someone thinking that say I might not think that alcohol no that's a bad one I think alcohol should probably be illegal but I might not think that it should be legal but it doesn't mean I'm gonna go out there and use it I'm trying to use vague terminology so I don't get demonetized here you know what I mean it doesn't mean just because I don't think it should be legal means I'm gonna go out there and pretend like it is because I'm an adult who understands what consequences are a lot of people have told me before too that if you just apologized everyone they would you know they'd be fine with it and I'm like yeah but I mean I would not be honest if I did so and to be fair I don't think that would change anything anyway because they know I wouldn't be honest about it if I said I was sorry right now they'd know what I mean because I'm saying it to you and I've said it to other people before I'm sorry that I'm sorry they felt that way that is such a terrible thing to say that is the worst way to apologize that's why it's not an apology it's not an apology I'm sorry they felt that way that's a terrible apology I'm not apologizing just because you're used to people saying that they're apologizing that way I'm not, I'm not apologizing I didn't do anything wrong my only mistake was making other people's wishes not in the actual actions itself what I should have done was realize that despite there were no rules against it and despite the fact that the behaviors itself were perfectly fine that me and somebody else were engaging in that a contest runner actually talked to me about it and was we were joking around about how it was such an effective tactic and how do I do this in the future if I'm ever in a contest not just running one what I should have taken from that is that he had no idea what I was doing there's no way he's such an insulting thing to that person right like they had no idea that you what you meant was exactly what you said they thought you meant something else fucking people man but yeah the reason why I am and I'm gonna have to phrase this carefully because I already phrased it poorly once and I'm gonna have to edit it out the reason why I'm banned from all contests is because I'm an asshole and I met someone else who is the same as me but with slightly more power and influence and that meant that I lost doesn't mean I was wrong it just means that somebody else got their way anyway let's pick this up and get the fuck out of here I think I'm gonna keep playing this later today but I actually streamed this on my discord on a pretty regular basis so if you're interested in watching that let me know well not let me know show up on my discord and watch when I'm streaming in the meantime thank you very much for watching I appreciate you listening to me rant about contest entries head on down and hit the subscribe button hit the notification bell next to that so that you're notified when I upload new videos and finally head on over to patreon.com everybody here on the screen already has and if you want to see me play more games give me some suggestions of what you think you would like to see me play I mean I'm not gonna play this again because it's not an scp game but unless there's like I said a huge outcry about people asking me to play it and even if I did I would probably just be doing this the entire time so it's not really not really worth more than one episode but but I could go back to the escapists if you guys would like me to do that even though that prison that I played in was just scp themed in the name it seemed that's why I didn't play it again this week or I could go back to some other scp actual scp games like scp containment breach secret laboratory what's the other ones oh the unity remake I might actually play that next time around because I think there's a patch that's gonna make it more stable I might actually get it and play it and see how it works out yeah I think that'll be my next thing thank you very much for watching let me know in the comments down below of any other scp games you'd like me to play or scp themed mods for games that already exist and thanks for letting me know that I'm not alone out here I'll see you all again on Tuesday
