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.

You ever look someone in the eyes and feel like you know how you're going to die for a brief instant?

Bumped into this hobo in a green coat on the slidewalk to pick my kids up from school. Turned to apologize and it was like he walked right over my grave. Haven't been able to concentrate since.

are you okay? that's really spooky, anon.

I think I'll be fine. I'll be better once they catch the guy who's snatching kids, but this is the 'bor. That's probably not going to happen any time soon.

Anon, this is creepy but I think I know what you're talking about. Humanoid? Green coat and green hood, right? Pale skin?

Because I ran into a guy that looked like that and when I looked at his eyes it was...strange. My thought-globe was telling me they were normal eyes but I kept seeing them as almost hollow.

Except this was in Gotham. Real shady area of town. (Not that many places in Gotham aren't shady). I thought I was just going crazy and imagining it but it put a chill down my glamprons.

oh grife i'm in the area too.

i've seen someone exactly like that. i was trying not to think anything of it, but shit. who do you think he is?

Eugh. I know what you mean. That's almost him to a T.

I'm not sure what's creepier, the thought that we both ran into him or the thought that there might be more than one guy like that.

Holy shazbot, anon, I'm from Gotham and I could've sworn I saw that guy, too. He really stood out. It wasn't anything he said or did. It was just some weird instinct. Like the kind you have when you're at a zoo and you really solidly realize the only thing between you and being some snarfle-beast's dinner is a force wall.

Want to know something extra creepy? The day after I saw him hanging around my part of the city, there was apparently a murder a few apartments down. My sister's in the GCSPD and she told me about it since I was curious because it happened near where I live.

Guy was burned alive. But get this: nothing else in the apartment was burned. Very weird. What's even creepier is the Scicops found evidence in the guy's place that proved he'd had burned down a retirement home for the insurance -- with the tenants still inside.

[Link to article about nursing home fire.]

So the murderous arsonist burns alive. Ironic, right? She said they're thinking someone found out and that it's a revenge killing. Although given Gotham's history, it wouldn't be that out there for it to be some kind of vigilante killing or something.

I wonder if the creepy green guy had something to do with it.

Vigilantes, please. The Cult of the Bat's about as real as the Question, man.

You're letting one spook in a coat get the better of your common sense.

i got a blurry snap of him last time i saw him, but it's hard to catch him- sometimes he's there and then he's just gone, right?

I don't know about that. I just kind of figured that he got swallowed up in the crowd.
