legionclubhouse | 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.

how many states were there that include "washington", "york", and "tex", quick history side of fandom do your thing!

13!

we struck the gold mine didn't we?

quick we gotta ask them all about all these other people! for fic accuracy!

okay but what are the other states

I keep seeing something about there being a north Dakota and a south Dakota but that doesn't sound right

why wouldn't you just combine them together to make one big Dakota

More like one Massive Dakota. The only one taller than North was, shit, Maine, who's only a few heads shorter than Chief. South wasn't that small either.

it ended up being way more than that but i don't remember how many. they had rules about how to admit new states and they would argue about which ones got to join. sometimes they had wars about it.

I know sprock-all about ancient Earth history but I can use Google.

York wasn't even part of the United States! It was on an entirely different continent!

NEW York, to be honest, but that's a mouthful so- I go by York.

Did Old York die?

no no no the STATE name is new york

do your sprocking homework

Old York was in Europe in the UK forever ago, New York was a colony in America. We were based off the United States so there wasn't an Old York. Just me.

Old York is kind of a soft spot for Locksmith. He likes to think he's special.

Don't you even start, Rookie.

you two are going to cause a ship war in amorbros fandom jsyk

We haven't already?

York, I think we're slacking.

So declaring my undying love for both you and chief and doubletime would be a bad thing? Can' we all just get along, guys?

anonmeme actually represents a pretty small part of fandom. once this gets onto dimblr friendships will end. lives will be ruined. it'll be your fault.

it will be glorious.

You broke into my room. That's the definition of 'starting it.'

But I'm willing to call a truce if you are. We should tell embarrassing stories about Wyoming instead.

You hit me in the eye with a grapefruit, that's dirty pool and you know it.

Aw man, fucking Reggie. You know that wasn't even his real name?

okay i looked it up

texas tried to change countries like four times in a hundred years

there were two washingtons

york used to be amsterdam

this is like some kind of geographical soap opera

...that's not all inaccurate for the freelancers either, to be honest.

Agent Amsterdam here is right.

We only had the one Washington, unfortunately. Couldn't dig up the other twin.

Poor DC. He was never the same after the boating accident.

I mean, we did have both Dakotas and Virginias for a little bit. Just the one Carolina.
