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.

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
unrecovered: (Well...)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
We haven't already?

York, I think we're slacking.
goddamngrenades: (so then we get shot)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
So declaring my undying love for both you and chief and doubletime would be a bad thing? Can' we all just get along, guys?
unrecovered: (Well...)

Keep in mind the space future doesn't seem to think that friendship exists. We're either fucking or we're bitter enemies, in which case we're probably still fucking.

[Wash has Seen Some Shit in fandom, man. Don't ever look in the tags.]
goddamngrenades: (ooooooh snap)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean...if you were less screamy and tense and I was kinda drunk and you were kinda drunk i might, I dunno, kiss you again.

...did I kiss you at Casbah? I can't remember, it's kind of a blur.
unrecovered: (...what?)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean, again?

No, you kissed Maine. He laid you out and put an entire table on top of you. I used to have pictures somewhere.
goddamngrenades: (that hurt)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Casbah. [ The Leave They Don't Talk About (tm). That poor goat. So many fireworks. So much jello. ]

Damn, I coulda sworn I won that bet. Or I at least managed to con niner into thinking I did- though that does explain my concussion the morning after.
unrecovered: (Oh well damn)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck. [Probably a good thing his memory wasn't perfect back then.]

It's a good thing she never found out you lied to her. She would've thrown you out of an airlock and never looked back.
goddamngrenades: (why am I clinging)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure I got everyone else, though. South bit me. Rude.

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.
goddamngrenades: (that's just wrong)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, hey- y'all can make up whatever you want as long as you're not hurting anyone. That means each other, okay?

Seriously this is vegan space future. Y'all don't even have bacon- and there's still this kind of bitching over pretend relationships?

morals change

wank is eternal
goddamngrenades: (So you're saying it's impossible.)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Whelp, allow me to note my eternal disappointment when this shit rolls out.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
what were you expecting from a bunch of sentients with no lives who don't even have the grondles to attach names to their idiocy? you can bet if anyone here actually met you and had to admit to the fact they're writing terrible porn about you they'd melt into the floor. me included.

welcome to the future, locksmith. we're just as trashy as the past.
goddamngrenades: (this'll be good)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
As long as it's all, you know, consenting porn I can't say that I mind. You do you, man.

And as bizarre as it is this is actually kinda comforting. Some shit stays the same-

Wait what's a grondle? is that like a grundle?

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.
goddamngrenades: (I could live without)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
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?
unrecovered: (Well...)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
It worked.

Okay, 1) how did you figure out his real name and 2) how do you get more annoyingly British than Reginald?
goddamngrenades: (Default)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I got curious and started digging. And: Norbert.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Norbert.

I think Christmas just came early.

[HE'S DYING, SQUIRTLE]
goddamngrenades: (it's easier to tease)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmhmm. Also: not as posh as he pretended to be.
unrecovered: (Well...)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Not high class or not British at all?
goddamngrenades: (it's easier to tease)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Australian. And pretty middle of the road.
