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.

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

Stop being creepy about sentients that can't give/aren't the right age to give sexual consent, you gross weirdo.

Relax anon, he's 14, just kind of malnourished. His world is super dark ages and he's a street performer, remember?

aight like assuming you're also a teenager

I'm on the janitorial staff and long story short, you've mistaken a cinnamon roll for a sinnamon roll. The boy is to pure for this universe.

storytime (because that's how Paperboy would want it)

My great-grandbroodmaster was not doing well a few cycles ago and I was feeling really down about it, kinda got a little overheated while I was supposed to be swabbing the obs deck and Paperboy was playing his stringy whatever by the viewing deck. I figured he wouldn't notice but he came over and asked if I was ok. I don't like talking about my feelings so I said I was fine, he asked if I wouldn't mind listening to a new story he was working on, told me this stupidly cute story about a dragon that couldn't fly until it took a pearl off its head or whatever, made his papers act it out. I don't know, it was just disarming and distracting and it was really cute so I did tell him about Gabboos, he vanished for like five minutes and came back with riceballs and candied peppers for me, asked me what Gabboos favorite thing was and made me a paper combustion engine to give her. Now every time I pass him in the hall he stops and asks how Gabboos is and makes me another paper thing for her. I can't with this kid. He's too cute to have a cool eyepatch and a ponytail. People are gonna get the wrong idea.

It is called a shamisen.

The eyepatch is his grandfather's fault.

But he is a very wonderful young man, yes. Thank you for sharing this story.

Yes. It was a horrible thing that was done to him. What does that have to do with the inappropriateness of the comment I was addressing?
