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.)

is anywhere safe? it just sent my drone here

oh stars, the Spectre knows where I live

Yes. And if he wanted to hurt you, he probably would have already. How long has it been since that recording happened?

um

fifteen minutes? maybe twenty?

That's good. Longer is good, when there is magic that lets a person move quickly. It means he is probably not coming for you.

Take stock of what's around you. Is there anything you can defend yourself with? Anywhere secret you can hide?

i don't think i can fight that thing

it's the spectre

oh stars, i'm going to be killed by some outdated god's sense of entitlement

No, you're not.

You are young. You are from this time. I will assume you haven't killed anyone. The information I have about this man says that you should be safe. Even if it didn't, you are still here.

You are still here, and you will hold on to that, because it is precious and important. He is not coming for you, we are coming to make sure you're safe, but if anything happens, you fight, because your life is important. You are important.

You can be brave. I believe this. So be brave. Keep talking to us until the Legion gets there, and be brave. All right?

i can try

Good girl.

It's going to be okay.

From everything we've read, the Spectre only kills people guilty of murder. As long as you haven't killed someone, he won't come after you.

yeah but if we believe everything we've read you're a bunch of unstable psychopaths

especially paladin

She's not a psychopath.

[He does it logged in this time because it'd be pretty obvious it was him if he tried to do it anon.]

Yeah, that's my job.

[Look at how completely lackadaisical he is in that statement. Look how much he respects anons. Look at it.]

dude shut up, someone's in actual trouble, you don't need to stir shit!

and he's talking about official legion docs, why wouldn't that be as accurate as possible? quantum would make sure of that.

gimme thirty minutes with some video editing software and i can do the same nass

This is just a call for attention

and what if it's not?

there's being dubious and then there's just being a nasshead. if a sentient is THAT desperate for attention, there's something wrong anyway, so what does it hurt to take it seriously?

Everything we've read is arcane and ancient tomes meant to document supernatural phenomenon with at least some accuracy, for the sake of future generations. They're like ancient textbooks. And also the team got information from magical experts on Sorceror's World.

Everything you've read is random morons posting whatever they think in their dumb brains on the internet.

That's the very definition of false equivalence, my friend.

Magic has rules and there's lots of resources on the study of them.

Doesn't just go to things we've read. I have a lot of firsthand experience with the Spectre.

What if we have killed someone!?

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.

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.

...and also there's that.

To be fair it was in self defense.

But after what you said, yikes. Seriously, yikes.

Honestly, the best I can tell you is just to look up some of the stuff in the Old Testament. If it seems way over the top and violent, it's probably the Spectre.

So does this kind of thing happen a lot nowadays or...?
