**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-7400 is impossible to contain, having been accepted into consensus reality.

**Description:** SCP-7400 is a probabilistic bureaucratohazard affecting the laws, regulations, or codes of conduct of various institutions and groups. These can include governments, corporations, religious orders, and organized crime syndicates, among other organizations, as well as relationships or friend groups, as long as some form of stated or implied moral code exists within their framework.

Affected codes 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.

SCP-7400 does not seem to directly criminalize //League of Legends// players outright; rather, players are criminalized due to coincidental and seemingly random interactions between various laws and rules, resulting in //League of Legends// being outlawed unintentionally. Despite such legal interactions normally being nigh-impossible to properly realize, given the precise and technical nature of the law, all individuals perceiving a case where SCP-7400 may apply are fully aware of the illegality of the act, regardless of their prior legal experience. Affected individuals also seem to perceive the playing of //League of Legends// to be immoral, though it is unknown whether this is the result of SCP-7400 directly affecting their minds or if it is simply a widely-held natural opinion.

**Addendum 7400.1:** The first documented instance of SCP-7400's application occurred on January 24th, 2010, in a text conversation between Ryan DeAntonio and Jesse Parks.

[[/div]]

It is believed that Parks' prior //League of Legends// addiction, combined with the use of the slang term "lol"[[footnote]]An abbreviation for //League of Legends//.[[/footnote]], was the root cause of the above incident.

**Addendum 7400.2:** On June 29th, 2010, Riot Games[[footnote]]The developer and publisher of //League of Legends//.[[/footnote]] 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-7400.

**Addendum 7400.3:** The first documented instance of SCP-7400'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.

[[div class="blockquote"]]

//[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.]//

**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.]//

**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.]//

[[/div]]

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 7400.4:** On October 16th, 2014, the [https://carolinacommitment.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/350/2014/10/UNC-FINAL-REPORT.pdf Wainstein Report] was published on the University of North Carolina, implicating many of the school's officials in widespread academic fraud. More importantly, it revealed that the chancellor of the university, Holden Thorp, had quietly permitted the creation of an official //League of Legends// club. The news sparked state-wide backlash, prompting the university to respond via Twitter:

All of the former //League of Legends// club members were tried and executed.

**Addendum 7400.5:** On March 9th, 2015, Ryan DeAntonio (see Addendum 7400.1), 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//.

[[div class="blockquote"]]

//[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 DeAntonio 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.]//

[[/div]]

DeAntonio's fate is unknown.

**Addendum 7400.6:** 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 7400.7:** On May 5th, 2023, with the activation of [[[SCP-3448|Project DAMMERUNG]]], the SCP Foundation was able to develop a definitive account of post-mortal life.

[[div class="blockquote"]]

//[Agent Bell manifests in the post-mortal plane[[footnote]]Agent Bell's physical body and primary soul complex remain on the mortal plane, allowing him to perceive and explore the afterlife without interacting with or being perceived by its occupants.[[/footnote]], in an empty field. He is standing next to a long line of people in gray robes, leading 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.]//

[[/div]]

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.
