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.

This anon meme is set shortly after the events of "No Sanity Clause" and "Silent Horizon." Thanks to news drones catching part of the Joker's declaration, and thanks to press conferences by the UP government, several things that happened during "No Sanity Clause" are now public knowledge: the threat of Chronoblivion and that the Legion and UP government kept it secret, that the Joker is in Legion custody and will not be released to Takron Galtos (the prison planet), and that Blue Rose is dead and will be having a funeral soon on Shanghalla. What isn't publicly known: that the Joker said Brainic 5 wasn't guilty of the original Legion disappearing and that Chronoblivion's forces were, and that the Spectre appeared as Blue Rose died and gruesomely killed her murderer, Firefly (though the Carggites that saw him may reveal this anon). As for Silent Horizon, it's publicly known: that the star drive test was a dismal failure and that much of the Silent Horizon crew died, and that the Legion saved the Robotican crew members. However, the full extent of what happened is not publicly known. (That said, people may post as anon Legion World staff spilling the beans on what happened during the mission.)

What if we have killed someone!?

Fund it. (And link when you're done).

Who do you think would go evil and who would have to kill them in self defense?

My vote's on Captain Mystery going evil and Paladin having to kill him.

Different kinds of dumb shit. I try to mix it up a little.
goddamngrenades: (So you're saying it's impossible.)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2017-01-23 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Gimme stones, Imma throw 'em, cuz Sober Wash also does dumb shit. Drunk Wash? Does HILARIOUSLY dumb shit.

Usually cuz Drunk York is a bad idea bear that can talk people into dumb shit. Usually no one gets hurt or arrested.

Usually.

I would love to hear stories about dumb shit Sober Locus did.

[You know, the lighthearted dumb shit, not the Trusted Felix For Years dumb shit.]

Yes.


Could you? Did you. And did it take long?

Then it also probably depends on the nature of the killing. That gets fuzzier but a lot of stuff suggests it's outright unpunished murder that's the biggest problem, not killing in self defense or defense of others or whatever.

And if you have outright murdered someone...good luck with that. You may want to give yourself up to police custody just on general principle and also because the "unpunished" part seems to be a bigger draw.

This is real wrath of God stuff. Like...literally.

Of course Sober Wash does dumb shit. Sober Wash was friends with you for years.

["Friends." Freelancer was stupidly complicated that way.]

And Drunk Wash doesn't exist anymore, so. [Shrug.]
goddamngrenades: (i might be dead)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2017-01-23 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Sober Wash was too nice to call me on my bullshit. A problem that no longer exists, thank god.

[ Sober wash now delights in doing that thing. It works.

Mostly. ]


And we can fix that if you want- which you probably don't but hey. Offer's open.

The Spectre was really big in my time for a little while. Back before I left to come to the future with the Legion.

He killed a country. Vlatava. As in every man, woman, and child, dead, except the two leaders. I don't know why, but there wasn't anyone, or anything, alive within the country's borders.

He threatened to do the same to the state of New York once, because he'd killed everyone on Death Row and the sole survivor, who was innocent, was going to be executed for a crime he didn't commit.

"Wrath of God" is right.

If you strike them down, they will only become more powerful than you could ever imagine.

Call to Action

(Anonymous) 2017-01-23 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, listen up, you sprocks. Everyone on these memes claims to be fans of the Legiom, but let's face it: most of us are here for the hot goss, perving on celebrities, and to feel an inflated sense of self-importance by judging people who've probably accomplished more in a week than we ever will in a lifetime. I'm sick of that nass, personally. As in, sick of what I've been doing myself. With Blue Rose dying while trying to protect people, I feel like a dumb, useless squaj, and I know I can't be the only one.

So I'm proposing something new. The meme will never go away and that's that, but the people on it can still change how we act and how we relate to the Legion. A lot of really terrible stuff has been going on in the UP and the Legion has gone through a lot, and I think we need to be more proactive. Stuff like the Joker's attack? Would've had at least some shady behavior going on while they set it up. Same as the Fatal Five's attack on the treaty accords.

What I'm proposing is that us fans start really keeping on the lookout for this stuff. It happens sort of casually now, with some of us reporting on suspicious stuff we've seen, but we can make sure we share it with the Legion too, to make sure they know nass is going down. With all our eyes and ears on things we might be able to help give them warning before problems explode.

What do you say, fellow Legion fans? How about we create a real Legion Watch? Except instead of watching them, we watch out for them?

Didn't you see the last post

With people on Cargg and then it turned out that the bad guys were using the meme to trap innocent people by passing on fake advice

this is a terrible plan
