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.

Do Atlanteans have wings in her dimension? Seems weird for an aquatic species.

Reaper and Freelancer have some kind of grudge between them

IDK how it started but evidently Freelancer has one of Reaper's weapons and won't give it back

Isn't trading weapons a marriage custom among the Khunds and some ancient Earth civilizations?

Maybe Freelancer's mad that Reaper's not making an honest man of him

On that note, I am like 90% sure Reaper and 76 used to have a thing.

Paperboy grew up in a cave. Not only is the poor kid from a dark ages world, he didn't even get their version of an education there. There are so many things the kid doesn't know. It's way beyond how primitive Legionnaires usually are.

I was there, it was rad. Amazing improv from both of them. Somebody ought to start broadcasting their shows.

It's not like they're crying into their soy cream and listening to breakup songs on repeat. Just a lot of little things that add up, you know? You don't hate someone that much unless you used to really care about them.

I thought it was a good idea. Turns out I was wrong. So very, very wrong.

And I'm a drummer, by the way.

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Insider deets are all well and good but let's play a game.

Those with insider knowledge, tell us two truths and a lie about the Legionnaires. Legionworld staff, Legionnaires reading this, save us the trouble of making up our own wildly inaccurate rumors.
