Help! What's A DSCP And What Does It Have To Do With 17776?

help! what's a DSCP and what does it have to do with 17776?

So you've stumbled into the DSCP tag and you think. What on earth is this madness. Is it an actual fandom? Why is this in the tag?

*Spin around and whips off my shades* Hi. I am Mimi! I'm the irl RP mod of DSCP the roleplay, and I play Riley, one of the in-character mods of DSCP the space program!

DSCP stands for Deep Space Communications program, it's the shorthand for us to keep track of a 17776/20020 inspired roleplay in a 17776 discord server.

The RP is set in the 17776 universe, all laws from the original web series applies (sentient space probes, immortal humans, etc.)

In universe, DSCP is a NASA program for humans to keep in touch with sentient spacecraft. It’s a chatroom styled RP takes place in a discord channel. You can learn more about the history of this fake space program in this blog’s about page.

It’s considered a “stream” because it is “broadcasted” to the public, like how the 17776 trio’s conversations are in canon! DSCP could be considered a “space probe discord server with like, one channel“ to Juice/10/9’s “space probe group chat”.

At one point, we decided to fuck around with the idea of fake “fandom blogs”, who reacts to the DSCP chat when it’s live and enjoy it like ye average mainstream media. The DSCP fake fandom is an ironic exploration of a typical tumblr fandom, complete with fanart, discourses and parasocial relationships with the stream's casts. These are all make believes! The muns are all very nice irl.

There’re only a few people who actively plays around in the fake fandom space, but they have multiple blogs so it might give the illusion of it being “a huge fandom”. It’s not! All of the fake fandom blogs’ posts are tagged with #unreality, or it will be written in their bios, to differentiate from average RPer who are just posting about their OCs.

The tags we use are #dscp, #dscpcast and #dscp probecast.

Finally, if you’ve read this far into the explanation of our nonsense and still feel like you want a hand in this, DM me! I’ll give you an invite link to the server. The rest of the server is still a 17776/20020 fan space, so you can feel free to hang out if you aren’t interested in the RP.
