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.

Ugh. And then there's THIS nasshat.

I'm wondering if there shouldn't be a rule about power duplication or something like that. Most of the Legion is good, but we've got, what, three people with ice powers now? How many telekinetics? There needs to be more diversity or it's just going to look like they're keeping replacements around in case the worst happens.

(Anonymous) 2017-01-06 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Only two ice people. Jack Frost disappeared again. Brainiac and Babbage probably have him strapped down to extract his metagene and spread it to more new arrivals.

(Anonymous) 2017-01-06 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Grife. Is that how these people are getting their powers? Is Brainiac 5 using imprisoned metas to make loyal soldiers for when he decides to take over?

Kid Quantum would never stand for that. Don't worry, as long as she's the leader of the Legion, we're safe from that freak.

(Anonymous) 2017-01-06 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Unless she's already under his control...

Do you think Switch is a switch?

It'd be a switch.

I'm not sure what to make of the growing number of Legionnaires using social media. It seems weird. They've always been so private before, but now Blue Rose, Sir Prize, and Mr. Ice Guy all have accounts? They're posting pictures and talking about their days?

It's just surreal. It also really works to kill my headcanons about them when they're just so open about themselves like this.

(Anonymous) 2017-01-06 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Redundancy isn't a bad thing. And they've still got a lot of coverage on other powers. It's not like the metagene can be predicted.

Those dogs are the cutest though, aren't they?

LEGIONNAIRE LEGACY REACTIONS

(Anonymous) 2017-01-06 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
So our first Legionnaire Legacy goes to... A complete newbie. Not my first pick, but we'll find out what happened to the other 75 soldiers soon enough. (Unless they were all Freelancers? Oh sprock! Fic idea!)

What'd you think? It sounds like she sought them out. I'm not sure I want such an attention whore on the team, but at least she's taking the hero side of things seriously, unlike Sir Prize, Justin Time, and Mr. Ice Guy.

(Anonymous) 2017-01-06 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I wish that the dog owners there would put them in trans suits. I clean the halls outside of their rooms and I'm allergic. :(

(Anonymous) 2017-01-06 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Can't you just get the cure for that?

Yet another example of the corrupt, bourgeoisie pharmaceutical industry working to crush the working class and promote their crypto-fascist agenda!

The anon above me is fully in the right, but I've learned that words are not enough!

Come, fellow citizen. I will see to it that you get the allergen vaccines you so desperately need!
