影響を受けた法規範は、
Affected codes, through coincidental interactions between several individual rules, criminalize or disavow individuals who participate in the multiplayer online battle arena video game League of Legends. Punishments or retribution for playing League of Legends often tend towards severe repercussions, including torture or death when possible.
Despite such legal interactions normally being nigh-impossible to properly realize, given the precise technical nature of the law, all individuals perceiving a case where SCP-7000 may apply are fully aware of the illegality of the act, regardless of their prior legal experience.
Addendum 7000.1: The first documented instance of SCP-7000's application occurred on January 24th, 2010, in a text conversation between Ryan DeAntonio and Jesse Parks.
Figured you'd appreciate this
This is amazing lol
Are you serious
What?
Again?
We've literally talked about this multiple times but you still feel the need to somehow squeeze it into every conversation we have
Wtf are you talking about

You keep thinking it's okay and that it's nOt tHaT bAd
But we BOTH know how people like that turn out
I legit thought you were gonna change
Jesse, what the fuck you are talking about??
Its no use trying to keep you clean
That game has ruined you Ryan
Youre disgusting
What the fuck?
Is this some sort of joke?
Jesse?
You have been blocked by this number.
It is believed that Parks' prior League of Legends addiction, combined with the use of the slang term "lol"1, was the root cause of the above incident.
Addendum 7000.2: The first documented instance of SCP-7000's legal application was on November 18th, 2010, during the trial of Stanley Peterson in Cleveland, Ohio. Below is a log of the relevant events.
Russell Becket.
[Location is in an unspecified county courtroom. Murmuring from the gallery is heard as the court judge enters the room behind the bench. The judge takes a seat, and pounds the gavel.]
Judge: Court is now in session for the Trial of Stanley Peterson.
[The gallery falls silent.]
Judge: Is the Prosecution ready?
Prosecutor: Yes, Your Honor.
Judge: Is the Defense ready?
Defense Attorney: Yes, Your Honor.
[Irrelevant logs removed.]
Judge: Very well. The Prosecution may call its first witness.
Prosecutor: Thank you, Your Honor. The Prosecution calls Mr. Russell Becket to the stand.
[A man rises from the gallery. He slowly makes his way over to the witness stand before turning to face the court.]
Prosecutor: Please state your name for the court.
Russell Becket: My name is Russell Becket. I work as an associate planner at the City Hall.
Prosecutor: Mr. Becket, as you are aware, the alleged incident involving the defendant, Mr. Peterson, occurred on July 8th, at approximately 6:42 pm. Will you please state what you were doing during this time?
[Russell physically hesitates before responding.]
Russell Becket: Er… Well, you see… Uh… Exactly… how relevant is this question to the case?
Judge: Mr. Becket, I understand that your privacy is important to you. However, I would like you to understand that this question is critical to advancing this trial. You do not have to answer if you do not wish to, but please keep this in mind.
[Russel sighs, and collects himself before speaking again.]
Russell Becket: Very well.
[Russell pauses for a brief moment and clears his throat.]
ラッセル・ベケット: 裁判長、League of Legendsです。
Russell Becket: Your Honor, League of Legends.
[Murmurs from the gallery begin to pick up again before quickly escalating into frantic shouting and panic, coupled with various members of the gallery beginning to show hostility towards the witness. Within the commotion, the sound of a gavel clash can be heard.]
裁判官: 死刑。
Judge: Death.
[The doors to the courtroom suddenly swing open and multiple court bailiffs are seen running into the room, backed up by heavily armored guards. The bailiffs and guards grab hold of Russell, who begins to resist but is eventually overpowered. Russell is dragged out of the courtroom by the bailiffs and guards, and he attempts to resist while shouting various obscenities and curses.]
Russel Becket: No! Who do you think you are!? You can't do this to me! I have the right to a trial and a counsel!
[Russell turns to the Prosecutor. The Prosecutor quickly turns his head away, ignoring him.]
Russell Becket: This can't be happening to me! I have a right to League of Legends!
[Russell's screaming is heard until he is completely removed from the courtroom by the bailiffs, at which point his screams become inaudible.]
Russell's conviction was due to an intersection of several local, state, and federal laws, along with social conventions in the area; these included (but were not limited to) recent laws in Cleveland restricting gaming hours and behavior, Ohio's laws regulating hate speech, and the Cleveland populace's abject distaste towards online competitive gaming.
Addendum 7000.3: On June 29th, 2018, Riot Games2 introduced new workplace guidelines which accidentally forbade the playing or mentioning of League of Legends by any of its employees. This resulted in mass confusion followed by the rapid downsizing of Riot Games before the guidelines were retracted in order to maintain profits. Notably, this incident marks the first instance where the simple mention of League of Legends is affected by SCP-7000.
Addendum 7000.4: On April 2nd, 2011, a news report released by the Charlotte News revealed that the Charlotte North Carolina police force frequently used League of Legends as a method of combat training. The news sparked state-wide backlash, prompting Chief Samuel Richard to respond via Twitter:
Rich Sammy
@chiefsamuelrichard
Whatever the public thinks doesn't matter. My men need this training in order to combat the hoodlums on our streets. Whether you like it or not, this is important to the city.

5:11 PM - 8 April 2011
Several days of riots ensued at Charlotte PD headquarters, eventually leading to Chief Richard and several other officers resigning from the force. Despite the fact that Charlotte and North Carolina legal codes demanded that individuals playing League of Legends be punished by execution, none of the officers were prosecuted.
Addendum 7000.5: On March 9th, 2013, Ryan DeAntonio (see Addendum 7000.1), following the loss of his residence and belongings, was apprehended and taken into custody by agents of an unknown affiliation due to his prior involvement with League of Legends.
[Footage taken from a street light surveillance camera in Moscow, Idaho, at approximately 11:30 PM. DeAntonio can be seen on the corner of the intersection, sitting within a large box, holding a cardboard sign.]
[A few people pass him over several minutes before a car parks beside him and four federal agents walk out. One of the men grabs hold of DeAntonio and throws him out of the box he was sitting in. Several muffled screams can be heard as DeAntonio attempts to fight back before he is subdued by the other men.]
[The four agents restrain and handcuff DeAntionio before lifting him off the ground, carrying him into the vehicle. Muffled shouting and cries can be heard for several seconds afterwards before they drive away.]
DeAntonio's fate is unknown.
Addendum 7000.6: Following a summit by the United Nations, the General Assembly adopted the Convention on League of Legends (2022), following exploration of law established by prior treaties, including:
- International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1965)
- Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (1979)
- Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006)
- United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea (2008)
The Convention fully recognized the illegality and immorality of the act of playing League of Legends, defining all players as members of a terrorist movement, and authorizing all nations to eliminate them by any means necessary.
Addendum 7000.7: On May 5th, 2023, with the activation of Project DAMMERUNG, the SCP Foundation was able to develop a definitive account of post-mortal life.
[Agent Bell manifests in the post-mortal plane3, in an empty field. He is standing next to a long line of people in gray robes, leading towards towards a pair of arches.]
[Agent Bell approaches the arches. Between them stands a single person, a dark-skinned bald man wearing a suit. Several keys are attached to his body and clothes at various locations. The arch on the right accesses a path which leads towards a futuristic city several miles away. Behind the arch on the left lies an immense pit, the bottom of which is unseen.]
[Individuals approach the man one at a time. He holds a key towards each person, and after a few moments, lets them pass through the arch on the right. Very rarely, an individual is not allowed to pass through the right arch, and is instead pulled through the left arch and into the pit by an invisible force.]
Facial recognition analysis of the individuals pulled into the pit has determined that they are all deceased individuals who owned League of Legends accounts. The wider theological implications of the relationship between the afterlife and League of Legends is unknown. Members of the Department of Tactical Theology are currently analyzing religious texts in order to determine what doctrine would result in such post-mortal judgement.
