IC ANON MEME

[letsgolegion]

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 "Resistance is Futile" and "An Eye For An Eye," and right after the recent Legion Watch.

[Sign with today's date. Kitten doodle. Actual kitten perched on his shoulder. Armor this time around, because he's still tired, but he's never missed one of these and it'd stand out more if he did.]

Hit me.

[(Anonymous)]

That'll be thirty credits in advance, handsome.

[unrecovered]

...I'd say you misunderstood, but I'm pretty sure that was on purpose.

[(Anonymous)]

You ever work as a holonet domme? Trust me, there's a lot of competition. You take what you can get.

[unrecovered]

I can't say I have. [Dry as the desert.]

...good luck with your job?

[(Anonymous)]

Sure you don't wanna give it a try? I can work wonders with a pair of drones, a candle, and a shaving kit. Very relaxing.

[unrecovered]

And pull in a ton of new customers by using my name as advertising, right?

I think I'll pass.

[(Anonymous)]

How are you doing?
How's Master Chief doing?
How are you and Master of doing simultaneously??? ;;)

[unrecovered]

Fine, you'd have to ask him but probably fine, and I'm pretty sure that's a leading question.

[(Anonymous)]

We ask you because we know you know.

Pervects, thank you very much.

Re: -1

[(Anonymous)]

i just want master chief to know i hope he's having a nice day.

what i think about him and freelancer is totally unrelated!

[unrecovered]

It's almost like I keep tabs on my friends.

Still a leading question.

[(Anonymous)]

"Keep tabs." Is that what they're callingbit now?

[truefaceofthelaw]

how did it feel to shoot Paladin in the head?

[isthisapidge]

Knock it off, anon.

ANONYMOUS

[truefaceofthelaw]

You don't feel bitter at all? He killed you without a second thought when he didn't even know you would get up again!

I'm sorry for what happened, but I know I'd never be able to look somebody in the face after knowing they could do that to me.

[isthisapidge]

You probably won't believe this, but no. No, I'm not. At all. Freelancer's actions were completely appropriate. I was a threat to both of them and containment just wasn't an option.

So again, knock. It. Off.

[unrecovered]

[They'd fucking figured it out.]

[Well, put enough heads together with enough pieces of information...this was a foregone conclusion, and now he has to deal with it. He takes a few moments off camera to breathe and gather himself, grateful that he'd chosen to wear his armor this time around.]

It's one of the worst things I've ever had to do. And I've survived two genocides, so that should tell you something.

not here

[brisance]

[ somewhere, wherever she's been trolling rico from, she gives wash's shoulder a squeeze ]

posing as different anon

[truefaceofthelaw]

[Aaand there it is. Rico barely even had to try. The drokker just did it for him with barely any pushing!]

That's crazy. How old is Paladin? She's just a kid. And you just killed her without even trying to contain her?

There is something seriously wrong with you. You're messed up. You used to be my favorite legionnaire, but I can't believe you were ever capable of doing something like that.

[unrecovered]

She was fully infected by the time I got there, and we didn't have the time or supplies for containment. It was either shoot her or let her attack Captain Mystery. I made my decision.

[It's amazing how calm he is about this. He hasn't quite made his peace with the situation - he doubts he ever truly will - but he's at least dealt with it enough to be able to discuss it.]

[He's also starting to think that anon is here just to stir shit, which helps him get some distance from the conversation.]

You're entitled to your opinions.

[(Anonymous)]

Doesn't Captain Mystery have telekinesis? That could've contained her easily. So either he let her get shot or you jumped the gun.
