IC ANON MEME

THE IC ANON MEME


RULES AND INFO

Everything must be from an IC in-world perspective. The meme is specifically a Legion fandom meme. UP citizens, Legion World Staff, and Legionnaires all have access to the meme. While this meme is in the meme comm, it is real in the game universe and all the Legionnaires and the public can see ICly it. Rather than other ic anon memes where characters post to the meme, this meme operates like real world memes like rpanons.

There are 3 ways to post. When posting as non-Legionnaires do it anon. When posting as Legionnaires that unwisely comment unanon, just do it logged in. If posting as Legionnaires going anon, do it logged in, but mark "anon" in the subject, so we know it's anon, but can have a laugh over which Legionnaires are secretly stanning or shitposting.

Not necessarily a rule, but keep in mind that attitudes in the UP are different than our world. Most people are referred to generally as "people" or "sentients" instead of species-specific terms like "humans." Most racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, and other "ist" attitudes are now uncommon among most species in the UP. Many sexual orientations exist, polyamory and polygamy are considered acceptable, and gender identity is very flexible. Species-based xenophobia tends to be the bigger social ill and even with that, many are against it. The species that are most disliked and distrusted are Durlans, Daxamites, and Roboticans. If you want to use them for fun, common UP cursewords have been added to the Legion Basics page.

Beyond sticking to those basics, don't worry about getting anything "wrong." It's a meme and people tend to say stupid things on memes. You can even make up fake species and planets and details about them. The UP is huge and has lots of planets and species not mentioned in the game info.

You can pretend to write things from the POV of Legion staff sharing the deets on the Legionnaires. However, they wouldn't share tactical info on the Legionnaires that could get them hurt in battle, only juicy gossip. Also, if someone is writing from the POV of Legion staff and writes something about your character that your character doesn't actually do, keep in mind that half the time people make shit up. It'll just be false gossip.

Try to keep anything that can't be put behind a link sfw. While you can write someone sharing the start of their steamy slash fanfic, try to keep it limited to just part of it. Linking to fanart as if it was made in universe is a-okay, but just make sure to put it under a link and warn if it it's nsfw. Please check character ages before posting any nsfw stuff to make sure they're over 18.

Feel free to get really crazy. Fandom gets crazy and fandom is no different in the glorious robot future. There are normal posters, shitposters, trolls, rpf ficcers, stans, slashers, all the same things our time has. There are macros and gifs and ongoing fake memes you can make up. There will be a few preposted topics but you can make up new ones or just have anons create new topics or troll.

The meme is generally modless and has no thread-freezing. Fandom plays it dangerous in the future and the ic mod rarely intervenes, though anons sometimes try to get them to. Anon comments can be deleted by the real mods at the request of players (like say if they made a formatting mistake and want to repost) but there should be no need to delete anything beyond that since it's all IC.

I don't know. It looks like they've got each other's backs.

I'm kind of excited, to be honest. We usually don't see the Legion pop in here, though I'm convinced that Chameleon used to troll everyone.

i don't think showing your ass on the meme is an indicator of good judgment.

DT was probably just fooling around until jerks kept purposefully trying to piss him off.

Why come here to make fun of people who risk their lives for us on a daily basis?

i at least expect them to be professional, especially with how much influence they have in the UP.

The Legion's never been entirely professional. Remember Ultra Lad and Timber Wolf joining up? Two gang members! One of whom married a senator's daughter!

I agree, Doubletime should probably be reprimanded for talking without thinking, but all of them have basically done a good job of representing the Legion's traditions of brotherhood and togetherness.

Didn't that end up being a threesome? Or was that just a fanfic I read?

Nah, they're all married to each other. Let's see if i remember the interviews right...

When Ultra Boy got booped to the Second Galaxy, Apparition was wandering around Rimbor, pregnant. She hooked up with Timber Wolf there (funnily enough, he lead the opposite gang to Jo Nah's!) and they fell in love there. Thankfully, Jo and Brin could put their past differences aside for Tinya and they pretty much officially tied the knot later.

Jo and Tinya were already married thanks to a trip in the past. While I'm happy that they're together and haven't been split up again, I feel super terrible for Brin. It must be awful to lose not only the people who pulled him out of Rimbor for good, but to lose your spouses! At least he's still got their kid.

I wonder what happened to their old gangs in Rimbor?
