Memes are jokes, phrases, or events that have become part of Sim Culture. They are usually based off mission events and nerd culture.
McSquiggly
A phenomenon on the Forums started by Bryce Storey, the forums' censor filter was used to replace all instances of the word "and" with the words "and McSquiggly and". For example, "We are currently working on doors and the sub" would be rendered as "We are currently working on doors and McSquiggly and the sub." It is assumed that the original purpose was to see how long it would take someone to post something on the forums asking about what was going on. The first person to do this was Ian Martin, two months after the inception of McSquiggly. It was later revealed that Forums' administrators Ben Paul and Maclean Rouble had been in on the joke from the beginning. Possibly after complaints, Bryce censored McSquiggly to "I'm Hanging onto dying traditions." A thread of the forum was dedicated to the death of McSquiggly, and it was a rather sombre affair until Samuel Baltz discovered that MCSQUIGGLY in all caps was not censored.
Catclan
Created during the 2009-10 year by Charlotte Bonyun. The concept started out with Becca Kalinger being nicknamed "Spazzcat" due to her very cat-like manners and habits, but eventually expanded and named a large variety of people within Spacesim. Rules for the naming of a Catclan member to-be have evolved with the group; a tendency to have the names start with the letter "s" became a rule, a spelling quirk made by the first male member, Spartakat (later Stargakat), having the ending with a "k" instead of a "c" became a rule for all following male members. A tacit rule also has the nicknames kept to three syllables or less, including the "cat/kat." According to Charlotte Bonyun, a Catclan name becomes official once she hears of it.
Phrases
- "Imma firin' ma lazar! BAAAH!"
- "Its all over yar face!!"
- "SHAWG!"
