SCP groups

Special Containment Procedures Foundations, otherwise known as SCPF groups are a type of roleplay group found throughout Roblox that are inspired by the SCP wiki. Groups in this genre usually simulate working for a clandestine organization tasked with locating, containing, and researching various anomalies, known as SCP's.
==Gameplay==
Gameplay at SCPF groups varies depending on the rank the members have. If a user is at the rank of Class-D, their gameplay experience generally involves participating in tests as a test subject, rioting with various stolen and/or bought weapons and tools, and attempting to escape the SCP facility they're in. If a user is considered Foundation Personnel, their gameplay experience can vary depending on their exact rank and the departments and/or subdepartments they are a member of. The staple of SCPF games are the SCP's users can interact with. Each SCP is different from one another and is generally based on the SCP's within the SCP wiki, although some SCPF games include original entities, creatures, and/or phenomena.
==Ranks==
SCPF groups typically utilize group ranks to determine who can do what in their group. The positions vary from group to group but usually reflect the clearance levels and ranking system shown in the SCP wiki. The most common ranking system used in multiple SCP Foundations is as follows:
===Class-D===
Class-D (also known as CD or Test subject) is usually the starting rank that all members receive when they join an SCP Foundation. Class-Ds are considered test subjects and can participate in SCP tests, medical check-ups, and perform other various tasks.
===Class-E===
Class-E (also known as CE or Suspended) is typically assigned to group members that break the SCP Foundation's regulations (mostly are articles on the Code of Ethics) or exploit on their group games and is considered below Class-D. Class-Es are usually heavily limited on what they are allowed to do and are sometimes banned from group games.
===Foundation Personnel===
Foundation Personnel (also known as FP) are generally group members that hold the ranks of Level-0 through Level-3. Almost all SCP Foundations require members to send in an application or partake in an interview in order to obtain these ranks and are considered low-ranking (LR) members.
===Executive Personnel===
Executive Personnel (also known as EXEC or EP) are usually higher-ranking (HR) group members that lead and manage a department and/or subdepartment. Most SCP Foundations require users to be a directorate-level member of a department or a direct head of a subdepartment in order to obtain Level-4 or Level-5, but some allow users to obtain Level-4 through applications or interviews.
===Site Director===
Site Director (also known as the SiD) is a role that an executive foundation member is either selected into by the O5 Council or voted into by members of the group. The Site Directors' main job is to host events and overall manage the site and foundation. This is considered the last "executive" rank before O5 Council.
===O5 Council===
The O5 Council (also known as the Overseer Council or Overwatch) usually consists of the highest-ranking members of the SCP Foundation that are tasked with leading and managing a department. Almost all SCP Foundations require users to rank up to an overseer-level position in a department in order to obtain this rank.
===O5 Head===
The O5 Head (also known as the O5-X or Overseer Head) is generally the second-highest-ranking member of the SCP Foundation that is tasked with leading the O5 Council. Most SCP Foundations require users to receive the most votes in an O5 Head election in order to obtain this rank and is typically only given to 1 individual at a time.
===The Administrator===
The Administrator (also known as TA) is usually the group's owner and highest-ranking member of the group.
==Departments==
SCPF groups generally divide the work members can do into departments. The duties of each department vary greatly from one another and each department has its own method of entry.
===Civil Departments===
Civil departments, also known as civilian departments, are usually tasked with performing low-risk tasks such as administration, medical examinations, foreign relations, rule enforcement, engineering, and SCP research. Most civil departments require members to send an application or pass an interview in order for them to join.
===Combative Departments===
Combative departments, also known as military departments, are generally tasked with performing higher-risk tasks such as site security, riot control, hostile group of interest (GoI) raid defense, and SCP recontainment. Most combative departments require members to pass a tryout in order for users to join, but some allow members to join through applications.
===Intelligence Departments===
Intelligence departments, also known as intel departments or IDs, are typically tasked with protecting the SCP Foundation from more severe foreign and domestic threats such as alternate accounts and spies. Some intelligence departments are also tasked with infiltrating foreign SCP Foundations and groups of interest (GoI's) in order to monitor them or in some cases bring them down. Almost all intelligence departments keep their recruitment methods secret.
==Groups of Interest==
Groups of Interest (GoI's) are also usually included in the gameplay experience of SCPF groups to allow for more types of events such as GoI raids and negotiations. The purpose of a group of interest varies depending on the type of group of interest and are also typically owned and managed by users that are not a member of the SCP Foundation. Most SCP Foundations bring in GoI's that are considered canon in the SCP wiki, but some create their own original GoI's.
===Hostile GoI's===
Hostile GoI's typically seen chosen for SCPF games such as the Chaos Insurgency (also known as the CI), Serpents Hand, and Horizon Initiative are generally tasked with hosting GoI raids at the SCP Foundation's facility game where their mission is usually to capture Executive Personnel and/or seize SCP's within a limited duration of time. Once the hostile GoI successfully captures an Executive or steals an SCP, both sides typically call for a cease-fire where they attempt to negotiate for the seized personnel and/or SCP(s), usually offering more raid time, better weapons, and/or higher level keycards depending on the hostage(s) and/or SCP(s) captured.
===Friendly GoI's===
Friendly GoI's typically seen chosen for SCPF games such as the UN Global Occult Coalition (also known as the GOC) and FBI Unusual Incidents Unit (known as UIU) are generally tasked with assisting in the SCP Foundation's operations such as site security, hostile GoI raid defense, rule enforcement, SCP research, riot control, and SCP recontainment.
