[@CuteFlowerMination]

Honestly? Hell yeah! Its a hella rad idea and is very appropriate for the fictional setting that is the scp foundation, considering how it can be very helpful to other mtf soldiers. And if i were to suggest a symbol, it'd either be "memetic item here" or "zone of reality devastated"

[@HoppingSkipper]

Maybe even an amnostic symbol, too?

Yes baby yes!! Maybe to warn that something in the area has amnestic abilities, an amnestic leak has occured, or to not go into an area otherwise you will forget everything

[@Phagastick]

I think "Do not follow the little girl" means that the SCP will attempt to lure the operatives into a false sense of security, instead of it literally being a little girl.

[@nightigal]

I really like the idea of the MTF teams using two sets of field codes. The first set being a set of general codes used by all MTF and security personnel. The second set would be unique to a set of codes for a given MTF. My own canon has MTF who do explore extra dimensional or other worldly locations such as Mole Rats and White Rabbits using this practice.

[@avramnovorra]

This NEEDS to be an SCP thing. I can't imagine an MTF going to town without silent communication /symbols at the ready, and I honestly think they need to make this official!

[@Yellowsander]

There's to be a lot of potential in these, so I'm putting a few signs that I think could be used 1. Change "Do not follow the little girl" to "Do not follow the entity" 2. "GoI in the area" General. Means "A group of interest was in/Is in/will be in this area" 3. "Hostile Agents in the area" General. Means "Hostile agents of a GoI were/are in the area, proceed with caution" (Had an Idea for this one where, if GoI's were given specific symbols in MTFs, then this and other "GoI specific" symbols could have an additional mark to show which GoI was being mentioned) 4. "Cognito hazard in the area" Simple. self explanatory, "A Cognito hazard is in the area" though it could be paired with other field codes to change it's meaning. Alone it could mean "A Congito hazard with an unknown trigger is in the area, evacuate immediately", paired with "Do not make eye contact" it could mean "A sight-based Cognito hazard is in the area, proceed with caution" etc

A bit of military jargon and these would be really cool. For example, instead of *STAY IN THE DARK,* use *REMAIN SHROUDED.*

[@DawieBeyers]

I believe that it was a great idea and must definitely be incorporated into the MTF story line. It makes them seem more professional and efficient, especially in situations where your tech is failing you or in situations where you are uncertain of the outcome of your situation. It can also serve as markers when the same group needs to find their way back... especially when the topography of the area changes.

I remember a short story that used these over on 4chan. A small MTF unit is searching a subterranean area, finds a sleeping quarters with bunk beds of some kind with the symbols 'SCP has been here' and 'Safe place to rest' by the door. They go in, take a break, eat, maintain their gear and then get some sleep. One of the members of the team wakes up while the team is entirely asleep to the faint sound of something eating, looks up and the ceiling right above him (the ceiling was very low) there is two symbols written with a glow in the dark ink. 'Symbols are compromised' - 'Don't be taken alive'

[@yarn7733]

It's like the Shadowmarks in Skyrim. The Thieves Guild has a book of symbols for good places to loot or things of that nature, but if you pay attention, a LOT of buildings in the game have those shadow marks scratched onto them. A neat idea for a situation where an MTF needs to communicate with future groups, especially if radio with command is ill advised or unfeasible. It just doesn't seem like a situation that is common enough for the Foundation to bother making all MTF memorize these symbols. Also the "pray while shooting" is WAY too specific to "the door to nowhere", unless it's a thing a lot more common than I know of.

3:06 I would add an X in between the two lines for the sake of comprehensibility. Otherwise, there is the chance that one may perceive it as "look at it in the eye(s)". I understand that there is one for keeping the object in direct field of vision, but eye contact is different and has often either been perceived as a challenge or as a sign of respect.

[@brianli6562]

I can imagine why it was left unused . First of all the situations the MTF are usually in does not let them have a moment to rest to draw the necessary symbols . It also applies to the type of danger , that is too many symbols to draw for e.g scp-106 outbreak . Also the MTF usually always stay in groups and are trained and know if they have to kill themselves to avoid spread of damage . They probably also would be dead in order to get that information thus no way of relying it to others fast enough or due to them being dead or unable to communicate m( the case of dimension shift for e.g ) It was a cool concept but i think they have codes for scenarios and cameras and such .
