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.

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)

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.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It's South. What were you expecting?
goddamngrenades: (shit shit shit)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
For her to punch me in the face, honestly. Reggie was a shit kisser, I don't think he knew how to work the mustache. Florida was...scary.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

Between Maine and Florida, I'd take Maine every time.

[Except for when Maine started getting eaten alive by Sigma but ahaha they don't talk about that in public]

Namely because Maine actually liked me, and I'm pretty sure Florida liked everyone a little too much.
goddamngrenades: (and we shot)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Up till he decked me Maine was the better kisser. Florida was enthusiastic but- uh. Handsy?

Of the Ladies, Maryland, hands down. Girl knew how to work her tongue piercing.
unrecovered: (Well...)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-22 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I still can't believe you went after Florida. Did he ask you to call him Daddy afterwards?

[It's a legitimate question, given Florida. It's also something the fandom will go crazy over, and Wash knows it.]

Maryland bit me when I tried. I can't say I was a fan.
goddamngrenades: (oh so it's you now)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-22 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
The bet was for everyone on leave so- all of us except for Michigan. And, uh. Yeah. It was weird, not my style at all.

[ Big ole NOPE right there. ]

Did you buy her a drink first?
