Thanks.

Just pile anomalies on it so that it will remain unknown to the majority. Having a mass but no gravity, sometimes visible but sometimes not, have its orbit speed up, slow down and abruptly changing the direction just so that it would perfectly stay behind the sun, et cetera.

If there's something they can't do to keep the general public from knowing it tell me about it, please, and I'll do what I can to address it or (in case I can't do anything, sigh) cancel the project.

As Wikipedia says, Counter-Earth is very easily detectable by available means. The mere existence of a gravitational influence on the other side of the sun would also make probes have very different trajectories.

- No, it is not discernible. It's part of its SCP-ness.
- Because it has life. Maybe it could have looked like Mars in the past, implying that there was life in it long ago, so maybe there is a Mars spot. But it would look like past, not present, Mars. It could be a good idea, thanks.
- Its ultimate goal is to have humans, in its opinion the most interesting terrestrial species, living there. I guess it's kind of tragic, because: a) it's unsuitable for terrestrial life, b) The Foundation wouldn't even let humanity know that it exists.
- Mmm, I guess it could broadcast in Chinese, English, Hindi and Spanish (the most spoken languages in the world). Thanks again.

I really appreciate the feedback, I think I could make a good SCP for the fiiirst time in foreever (8)…

I feel like it'd be interesting to toy with the idea of a sapient (I think you meant that, since just sentience probably wouldn't be enough for developing jealousy of something on the other side of the solar system?) planet, which changes in response to how things progress on earth.

Couple things to clarify:

  • is it discernible how this thing has managed to keep such a close eye on Earth?
  • why Earth? Why not Mars or Venus? (maybe there's a small section of the planet that looks like either one of those, and it's all DON'T LOOK AT THAT I'M NOT LIKE THAT ANYMORE something something planets go through phases joke?)
  • what is this alt-earth's ultimate goal? Does it have one?
  • are the broadcasts only in English? Why?
  • idk how the idea popped into my head by I had the idea that the planet originally had three moons, but earth only had one, so to be like earth it shifted its orbit a little so two of the moons offed each other, and what are you talking about why is it terrifying I want to be like yoooouuu love me love me notice me please

I feel like depending on how you characterize the planet, it could be a pretty neat SCP. Alternatively, a tale written in documentation of this thing.

There is no alternate life, in fact. Crude, lifeless imitations of cities, animals and plants, that's all. Imitations made by the Counter-Earth itself, which indeed is sentient.
Thanks for the feedback!

I could see it working. However:

  • Is there an alternate humanity? If so, how do they feel about the human race here on our own earth? If not, is this why Counter-Earth is trying to get them to come? A sentient planet that feels lonely, maybe?
  • Is it safe to assume that they don't encounter SCPs like us, considering that it is an SCP itself, or does have the ability to make "copies" that are an extension of its form? Crudely-made, barely workable, lifeless?
  • What happens if humanity ignores Counter-Earth's calls? Will it try to destroy our planet in a fit of rage?

I think that this could be a solid idea and it has the capacity to make the reader feel empathetic if written in the right way. Perhaps one of the broadcast transmissions could further elaborate on why this planet is trying to get us to go to it.

I look forward to seeing what becomes of this.

What needs to be changed, and how? Vague advice doesn't help the author much; you don't have to write the article for them or anything, but at least give them a direction to follow.

It has oceans too, but those are made of mercury. There are cities, but their buildings are misshapen compared with those of our cities and all made of stone. Some statues of animals and plants here and there, all crudely made, like things that a klutzy kid would make out of plasticine. It broadcasts radio messages urging humanity to come and saying about our Earth:

"WHAT DOES SHE HAVE THAT I DON'T"
