what do y'all think about replying to a top level in a meme if someone else playing your character did it first? Is that annoying to the OP?

nope! do it anyway. its always nice to have multiple people tag and show interest in my character, and gives me a chance to play with others who play castmates

honestly my characters are kinda obscure so it just hasn't been an issue but when I saw it that one time I got self-conscious.
But, workaround!
