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 it ICly. Rather than other ic anon memes where characters post starters 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 are on 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.

They wouldn't allow him on the team if he wasn't 14. Get out of the Dark Ages, that's perfectly legal.

Sprock Freelancer, marry Chief, kill Doubletime.

After Murderworld, Freelancer seems so dangerous so that'd probably be exciting, Chief seems pretty stable, and Doubletime is an obnoxious nasshead.

okay not to whiteknight brainiac 5 of all people but can we not immediately handflail over shit like this? he gives us plenty of legit material all on his own, throwing a fit over random theories will only give the actual whiteknights actual ground to defend him on.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
i'm excited we got a real flash instead of whatever doubletime is.

Makes you wonder where the other missing Legionnaires have gone.

"Returned home due to quantum detanglement" my nass.

It's not the real Barry Allen until he gets a crew cut and starts wearing spandex.

idk about you guys but speedball's really cute

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but this isn't just about potentially disturbing secrets. We're talking about Legion Watch here. Traumatic incidents, family deaths? I wouldn't want my saddest memories shown in high-definition video for everyone to see. And you know they'd do it.

SUPERNOVA VS. PRIMETIGHTS

Which is the better name and why is this a healthier ship than Doubleprime/Primetime?

She is super cute and peppy.

Smells kind of fishy, though.

idk I think it's pretty shady that all that happened and not long after he apparently went out for a night on the town. My sister's cousin's broodmate saw it.

How much does the Flash eat?

Re: SHIPPING

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
I look at Speedball and I just see someone frail and skinny. Probably real fragile when he doesn't have his bouncing powers turned on.

I want Crusader to protect him. Forever.

Yeah, if you're within the age range, but how do we know you are if you're anon?

remember the golden rules of sexing up other sentients

1. Make sure they're sentient

2. Make sure they can communicate

and

3. age of adulthood /= age of consent

i'm starting to worry about the number of military sentients taking the legion oath. we even have that one guy who's calling himself soldier 76. if this keeps happening i feel like it's going to have a definite detrimental effect on the legion's internal culture. what do you think, meme?

what pairing?

Forge. He's not awful himself, but his dragon is picky. The fish it likes smell terrible and it eats a ton of it. I try to look busy with dishes or something whenever I see them come in the mess hall.

No, it happened on my day off. Sorry, anon.

You raise a good point. Pretty much everyone wearing armor was a military guy, the two Novas were both military, Soldier 76...

Maybe having a bunch of military-trained people will help balance out the fact that no one on the team really measures up to the real Legionnaires.
