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

okay but there has to be drone footage or gossip or SOMETHING

well, speaking of cortana, she and the other soldiers just instantly snapped into war mode when the alert hit. it probably saved us all, but it was pretty unsettling to watch how easily they switched over to killing.

Not all of them. I heard Freelancer and Legal Eagle really went at it.

Something is wrong with Freelancer. I don't know what specifically about this sprocked him up all this, but he is not doing okay.

sa

*sprocked him all up, wow, sorry.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-10 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I heard rumors that some of the Legions members got turned while they were trying to help out. Can anyone confirm? Maybe that has something to do with what happened?

I would be pretty sprocked up if I had to see my friends/family turned.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Legion staffer here. I can't say whether Legionnaires got infected (not because it's classified or anything, I was just too busy not dying myself to notice one way or another) but without TK or force fields or something, the only way to stop them was headshots. So yeah, there's a decent chance any given Legionnaire had to kill a friend, and we didn't know at the time that we'd be able to bring anyone back afterwards.

I haven't slept without tranquilizers since, and I didn't even see any fighting.

Wait, what's he doing?

Re: RECENT LEGION EVENTS

(Anonymous) 2017-09-10 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
theres drone footage of some things. what i want to know more about is the footage of captain mystery losing his nass at freelancer. did anyone else see that?

Re: RECENT LEGION EVENTS

(Anonymous) 2017-09-10 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
no?! where did you hear about that? spill the dirt if you've got it anon!

Re: RECENT LEGION EVENTS

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[A link to news drone footage. The sound is shoddy, only gunfire can be heard from nearby Robotican and CHDF solders. But Captain Mystery is seen carrying Wash over a group of soldiers with his telekinesis, almost hurling him to the ground, and then pounding his tiny fists on his chestplate. Then he stomps around, hyperventilating, drops to his knees, screams, his teke field flares and then...he just shuts down. He wipes at his eyes with his hands, stands up, and starts talking to Wash perfectly calmly.]

Freakiest sprocking thing. Anyone know what it was over?

Re: RECENT LEGION EVENTS

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
None, but I bet it has something to do with why Freelancer is so sprocked up.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Legion staff and I probably shouldn't be saying this but Captain Mystery was originally deployed with Paladin on what should've been a fluff mission. Mission went shiznar, only he got out. He brought in Freelancer for back up.

And then only the two of them walked out.

I don't know anything more than that, though.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
even without the audio that's hard to watch, especially with that context. i bet it was some break down after something happened to paladin.

da, another staffer

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, especially considering what happened after the mission.

Someone started a food fight in the Mess Hall post-mission. (It was great. Nice way to relieve tension, everyone had a laugh, and some of the Legionnaires helped clean up).

Anyway, direct your eyeglobes towards the bottom left.

[It's a picture of the food fight. Everyone is visibly having a great time, even the cafeteria staffers. On the bottom left is a table and barely visible under that table are two small figures, one of them in a hoodie, the other with glasses, both covered in pudding and smushed food.]

[It's hard to tell if Dippers's kissing Pidge on the cheek or on the lips (or if he accidentally missed his target and got a little of both), but they're clearly kissing.]

I'm not entirely sure what they're doing because I'm not human and I don't have lips but it's clearly some form of affection and I think it's adorable. No wonder he was freaking out so much, apparently he's her zizmar. (Humans have those, right?)

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
wait wait wait

wait

other staffer anon says that the only way to take out the infected forms without force fields is a head shot

something went wrong with the mission and paladin didn't come out even after captain mystery brought freelancer in as backup

captain mystery freaked out on freelancer after they came back out

what if paladin got infected and freelancer shot her

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
That actually makes snese.

Wow, talk about stone cold. No wonder Captain Mystery looked like he wanted to punt Freelancer into space.

Did he now? So why is everybody so outraged over Arbitrator doing the exact same thing upthread?

Re: ANONYMOUS

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
What Arbitrator did had witnesses, what happened with Freelancer is still just speculation and people trying to connect the dots.

Seriously? It's really easy to find if you just look for it. [Insert a link to footage of these events (http://legionmissions.dreamwidth.org/16397.html?thread=1399309#cmt1399309).]
