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.

[This could end badly, but she maybe she really does need to not bury herself in work like she usually does when she's upset. She holds up a post it with the date and steeples her fingers in front of her face.]

OK, let me have it, but I reserve the right not to answer.

When's the wedding?
isthisapidge: ([51])

[personal profile] isthisapidge 2017-09-11 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha.

Look, he and I are just going to take this one step at a time.
short_changed: (Smirk)

[personal profile] short_changed 2017-09-11 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Because Connie's only really spoken to Pidge the one time during nightmare-mission.]

Cake or Pie?
isthisapidge: By ace-pidge.tumblr.com ([12])

[personal profile] isthisapidge 2017-09-11 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Is "both" an option?

If not, then pie.
short_changed: (Heh shizno)

[personal profile] short_changed 2017-09-11 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Good answer.]

If it's not I'm sure there's a way to mix the two.

What flavour?
isthisapidge: ([55])

[personal profile] isthisapidge 2017-09-11 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
What, pie covered in frosting? I think I'll pass.

Pumpkin. Definitely pumpkin.
short_changed: (Get it?)

[personal profile] short_changed 2017-09-11 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
What about a cake in a pie base? Could be like cheesecake. [A dense yet fluffy cheesecake...minus the cheese.]

Pumpkin's a good one.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2017-09-11 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
There is. It's a pie inside a cake.

Ask me how I know that.

[Dry as the fucking desert, because the answer is obviously Grif.]
short_changed: (Smirk)

[personal profile] short_changed 2017-09-11 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm more curious if you can recreate it. You know, for science.
unrecovered: (Well...)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2017-09-11 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Me? Hell no. The kitchen probably could if you ask nicely.
short_changed: (After You)

[personal profile] short_changed 2017-09-11 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Did you at least try it? Or was it more...look on in horror or amazement?
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2017-09-11 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely the latter and mostly horror.
short_changed: (Up to no good)

[personal profile] short_changed 2017-09-11 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
You're not even a little curious?
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2017-09-11 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Watching Grif cook the first one was more than enough.
whyarewehere: (A)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2017-09-11 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Grif clears his throat importantly. ]

That would be my area of expertise.
short_changed: (Smirk)

[personal profile] short_changed 2017-09-11 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
You up to make it again?
whyarewehere: (L)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2017-09-11 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
I could be persuaded.

[ As if he needs an excuse. ]
whyarewehere: (E)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2017-09-11 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
It was inspired and you know it.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2017-09-11 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Inspired by my nightmares.
whyarewehere: (L)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2017-09-11 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Don't knock it until you try it, Wash. That's what I told you.
unrecovered: (Oh well damn)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2017-09-11 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
You put a lemon meringue pie inside a german chocolate cake. I'm not even sure how you did it, but I'm pretty sure that combination was inspired by Satan himself.
whyarewehere: (B)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2017-09-11 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's how I did it. 666 calories per serving.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Be real with us, Freelancer

Your nightmares are way worse than that.
unrecovered: (Well...)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2017-09-11 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
You never saw this thing.
