IC ANON MEME

[letsgolegion]

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.

It's kinda flattering and kinda weird but you're really not my type, dude.

Way too high maintenance for one.

[unrecovered]

Says the guy who spends upwards of an hour on his hair, only to pull a helmet on over it.

[goddamngrenades]

Had to look good for our fearless leader. Also it annoyed Reggie, so. worth it.

[(Anonymous)]

look you two, you can deny all you want but you can't do that and flirt in public!

[goddamngrenades]

Banter is not flirting. I'm not even wearing my 'look at my ass' jeans.

[unrecovered]

You know, it's really sad that the future seems to have forgotten what friendship looks like.

[goddamngrenades]

Aww, we're friends again? I'm all warm and fuzzy now.

[unrecovered]

[There's definitely a pause here, but eventually...]

Yeah, we are.

[It's easier than staying mad at him.]

[goddamngrenades]

Oh. Well. [ He was being jackass but if Wash is being honest? ] Cool.

You might wanna double check your bed before you sleep tonight- I kinda short sheeted it.

[ Which he could just as easily not warn Wash about but- they're friends again. Bros don't prank bros. ]

[unrecovered]

You say that like I don't check it anyway.

[He made an enemy of Reaper. He definitely checks for booby-traps.]

Did Delta get you past security or did you do it yourself?

[goddamngrenades]

Ah, the paranoia really never goes away. And they say you can't ever go home again.

[ You can't. It comes with you and makes everything else suck forever. ]

I'm a security specialist, Wash. I got it on my own. I mean the hardware is pretty advanced here but there's only so many ways shit can be encyrpted.

[unrecovered]

[No, it really doesn't.]

I'm less worried about you than I am Ghostface Lite. I'm pretty sure he holds grudges.

What I'm hearing is, I need to start booby-trapping my room.

[goddamngrenades]

You're already making friends, now that's the Wash I remember.

[ God, where's maine when you need him? ]

Or, I dunno, get a better security system. Gimme a week to catch up on some of the hardware and I can make some recommendations.

[unrecovered]

Evidently I know how to pick 'em.

[At the bottom of a frozen lake somewhere, as far as Wash knows.]

Yes, please tell Brainy his security system could use some upgrades. I'm sure he'll be thrilled. Just give me some time to get popcorn first.

[goddamngrenades]

If a 'primitive' like they keep calling me can figure this shit out and crack it in under an hour- [ less than that but, hey, public conversation. Ish. ] -then maybe he should, I dunno. Look into upping it? What if I was a man of less than sterling morals, Wash? What then?

[unrecovered]

You're a 'primitive' with a highly advanced AI in your brain. Don't sell Delta short.

Then I'd imagine you'd leave something else in my bed, like you did the last dozen or so times you broke into my room.

[Let's just divert the conversation away from Brainy's security, shall we? And give the fans something to go crazy about.]

[goddamngrenades]

Thank you, Agent Washington. It is pleasant to be appreciated.

Oh I appreciate you plenty, D. come on- and yeah I'd have to. No water showers here to rig up something special for you.

[(Anonymous)]

this is a gold mine

[unrecovered]

You're welcome.

[unrecovered]

Oh, you mean like the time you rigged up red kool-aid powder in the communal shower thinking I'd be next and got Carolina instead?

How long did she have you running laps?

[goddamngrenades]

Two hours, maybe three? Worth it for all the stamina jokes I got to crack afterward. I go as long as you need, baby.

[unrecovered]

Just about anything that annoyed Reggie was worth it.

[goddamngrenades]

Shaving half his mustache off that one time was the best thing I'd ever done.

[unrecovered]

See, I'd say dying it neon green was the best thing you've ever done, followed by shaving half of it off.

[goddamngrenades]

I can't take all the credit for that, Connie wrangled the dye job. He kept his helmet on for a solid month till it grew out. Good times.
