Um, that's not what I'm trying to do at all. If you read the OP, I'm actually trying to reach out to new players, by helping them get in on inside jokes they may not "get." Yeah, a lot of this stuff is really old-skool, but still may be referenced from time to time, and for confused readers, hopefully this will help. But if you don't get it, fine. Can't please everyone.

Anyway...

Next?!

Newbies such as yourself are always welcome in these halls, and I hope that any newcomers will create their own silly memes which future generations of ambassadors will be completely confused about in due course.

Rubber Stamp Army should be added. The term is thrown around often enough.

I was confused when I saw this, till I learned it's also (and more popularly) called the Rubber Stamp Brigade. Though you're right, "Rubber Stamp Army" does have a certain ring to it that RSB lacks...

Also, Fine Yeldan Cheeses. Not having anything to do with rubber-stamping; just another meme.

Kenny, got a couple more ideas for you:

Herby, the intelligent car who, through a case of mistaken identity, makes badly-written proposals come into force. Or at least would make them come into force if they weren't already terminated with extreme prejudice...

The Ironick Ejukayshun Proposul Speling Error: If there's a proposal to boost education funding, odds are there's at least one typo in the legislation.

Just ran a quick forum search, and let me just say, Holy Fraking Fuck, there's a shitload of "herby" here!

While I certainly don't disagree with the phenomenon, I don't think there's a universal term for it.

Felix looks up from a white paper he is reading, entitled "Planetary Destruction Protocols of the Yeldan Fleet: Do's and Don'ts", and speaks.

Don't you think there are already enough Yeldan references in your guide?

But Kenny, that's a bullshit order. Memes will always be made for the WA to reference.

I'm off to the Three Walled Bar.

Thank you, Headmaster.

No shit. Between silly/illegal proposals here and crap RP in International Incidents, I swear....

Actually, I've been mildly curious for some years now about a phrase found in certain (generally older nations') forum sigs: Ideological Bulwark #X, where X = a one- to three-digit number, with no further elaboration.

What ideology? Bulwark of what? Against what? Was there some conspiracy that everyone just sort of gradually forgot about? Or what?

A vast conspiracy.

There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Omigodtheykilledkenny is, in fact, Ideological Bulwark #47. :meh:

by **Omigodtheykilledkenny** » Tue Feb 03, 2015 11:22 pm

OK, added Herby, Rubber Stamp Brigade and Stomping/Stacking, just so the more modern-day memes are better represented. I may take out the stacking thing, however, since it's not really a joke or meme. "Stomp" is a bit more "jokey," just because it sounds funnier. :meh:

Anyway, I also plan to wikify this...maybe once I'm done updating the WA Timeline. So, three weeks from never.

Shouldn't stomp be Mousestomp?

Edit: :palm:

And..... I didn't read. Dammit!

I loved the touching little memorial to Jimmy Hart. He was the best.

I'd include "Green" as meme in the WA.

Green. n., +++

A point of confusion for many budding authors with an apparent grudge against pink cars.

"Another victory for Gatesville!" also comes to mind.

I believe I called Knootoss, "Ideological Bulwark #1" as a jokey insult at one point and it became a thing.

Members of the United Nations Old Guard (UNOG) title themselves "Ideological Bulwark #X", where X is their user ID on the UNOG forums.

People, pay no attention to the paranoid rantings of this conspiratorial lunatic! There is no such thing as "Ideological Bulwarks," just like there's no such thing as bigfoots, Jersey devils, chupacabras, [violets] or unibots!! They're all figments of players' overactive imaginations! So everyone just calm down and remember that just because someone says they've seen something, it doesn't mean-- hey what's that over there?!?

Consider: are the players who have it the sort of players who might enjoy the following conversation, and even more so if the item was meaningless?

Uninitiate: What's that funny thing in/on your signature/lapel/necktie/handshake/knuckles ...?
Initiate: If you have to ask, then I can't tell you. *smirk*

EDIT: Duh, forgot this puppet didn't have it in the sig, which ruins joke.

MEME ME UP, SCOTTY!!

Out of nowhere bump!
