Hey guys, it's about the middle of the month, and so far, September's looking a lot like August. Have no fear, Ash and I are gearing up some event fun to come later on, but we want all of you involved in playing too! So, here's a little way to get the plots flowing, hopefully! All you have to do is fill it out with copy and pasting, and talk with each other! You are all very strongly encouraged to participate. That's one step down from "mandatory."

<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Plot suggestions:</b> Whatever suggestions you have for plots involving/that may involve your character. <b>Current Storylines:</b> What’re they going through right now? <b>Character issues you wish to explore:</b> <b>Upcoming Storylines:</b> If you have upcoming storylines that aren’t meant to be a surprise, please list them here, list who’s involved, if it’s open/closed, and anything else you need! <b>Possible Plot Traits:</b> Things about your character that may trigger responses/plots from others.

Also, over the past few months, you've gotten to know your mods, but now we get to start learning about our fellow players with a Player of the Month (and this is purely voluntary to participate--but if we could get a volunteer for October, please let us know!), and this month it's Angie!

( All About Angie! )

So, some of you may be aware of the site Texts from Last Night, and various spin-offs, including the to-die-for Disney Texts From Last Night. And, it occurs to us that a number of these texts could well have applied to Metem. So, we decided to make a game of it! Here's how it works:

1) Go to Texts From Disney (or, for those of you who prefer your schadenfreude without a side order of hilarity at the expense of your childhood, the original Texts From Last Night).
2) Go through the list, and find entries that seem like they could have been sent by, to, or about characters from Metempsychosis (no, doesn't have to just be your own). Yes, NPCs are fair game too.
3) Post the macro image(s) in the comments using the following:
<img src="Insert image URL here"> WITHOUT saying (at least at first!) who you thought it applied to.
4) Other people reply with their guesses about who it reminds them of. Be sure to clarify if you think it was sent TO, BY or ABOUT the character(s)--or all 3! Someone already submit a guess? That's ok--you're welcome to agree, submit a guess of your own if you think it could apply to someone else, or if someone only puts down one of the 3, you can supply the other 2!

Any questions? Let me know--otherwise, have fun! ^_^

Congratulations, Metempsychosis! We have reached a milestone few games can boast: OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! And I have all of you to thank for it. ♥♥♥

So! To mark the occasion, starting TODAY the 13th and going through the Summer Solstice (the 20th), each and every godling is going to receive a surprise visitor at some point during the week. These will be taking place almost exclusively on the log community, so, PLEASE, be watching for your characters' names! If you would like to be notified when your turn is up, let me and/or Mod Paul know, and we'll make sure someone gets you a heads-up.

The plot is moving forward, my sweets. Excitement lies ahead. ^_^

Meanwhile, of course, all characters are welcome to keep posting as normal while waiting for their turns with the visits.

To continue with the anniversary celebration, however, a MEME! Yay! And not just any old meme, one that I hope will see a great deal of participation! Yes, it's a drabble meme! Here's how to play:

1) Post a comment with the names of the character(s) you'd like to see involved, and a prompt for them. If you wish, you can include notes requesting a particular rating limit or other specifications.
2) Someone then uses the prompt (and accompanying notes, if any) to write a drabble (any length) in reply. If more than one person wishes to respond, that's OK! The more takes on it, the merrier. Yes, you CAN post anonymously and you can respond to your own prompts, if you wish.

Any questions? Comments? Let us know! ♥

Be proud, Metem! Today is our ten-month anniversary! Congratulations!

Changes are coming, godlings. We have the emergence of two new antagonists from the mortal side of things. In Washington, we have Roger Warren, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He's a warhawk, and would love nothing more than to wipe the godlings off the face of the planet. Down south, we also have Mimi Osmond, the outspoken leader of the Foundation for Christian Families (a fast-rising far-right organization) who preaches that the godlings are abominations from hell. You get the idea. They're going to be stirring up some trouble, so watch out for them. ^_^

Meanwhile, as a reminder, PLEASE post on the gloss if you haven't done so! If you don't post, it means that I get to make up what your characters have been doing when I put it in the Past Days!

And, just for fun, how about a character-exercise meme?

As explained and given examples of on this site, make a "diamond" of your character(s). You can use the adjectives listed, or come up with your own. Have fun! ♥

Congratulations, Metempsychosis! We've reached the eight-month mark! Way to go! ♥♥♥

So, for this month, a simple meme to celebrate...

How did you come up with the names for your characters? This can apply to both their mortal names and their journal names.

Your PBM here. You have not been forgotten and I apologize for the delay. Ren has come into a bit of a family worry, and it is taking her focus understandably. Your mods are in the process of figuring out how to proceed with the scene in limbo for the event.

Meanwhile, so y'all aren't feeling completely abandoned, how about a character meme?

Answer in character:

If you could star in any movie currently in existence what role would you most like to play, why and who would your co-star be? (Co-star could be anyone from Metem or actor(ress).)

Congratulations, everyone!

Today marks the 1-month anniversary since we officially opened Metempsychosis to gameplay! I know, it doesn't seem that long, does it?

So, to mark the anniversary, first off, we'd like to announce a change: Since the game calendar generally matches up to the real-world calendar, we're going to stop announcing when the day changes on a regular game day. You'll only see the New Day announcements for events and glosses from here on out. We figure this will help declutter the OOC board.

Now, on to the fun stuff!

Once our plotbunny mod is feeling better, we'll be having our first major in-game event this month, so there's something to be excited about. More details about the event (and the gloss which will follow it) will be coming soon.

And now, to celebrate, we present you with some memes!

MEME 1 (OOC): Build a Soundtrack!
- In the comments below, suggest songs that would be appropriate to the characters currently in the game (and, no, you are not restricted to suggesting things only for your own characters). List the names of the character(s) and why you feel it is appropriate.
- Examples might include: Choosing a song that describes a character, a song that your character would listen to while doing his/her favorite thing, a song about something/someone your character detests, or even a song that describes your character's social life (this also extends to finding the perfect songs for pairings, whether they have been established ICly or not, or for groups of characters).
- Songs regarding past-life situations are also ok.
- YouTube links are encouraged!

MEME 2 (IC): Any 5 Questions!
- On the main board, have your character(s) ask any other character(s) any five questions you like. This must be based on IC knowledge/curiosity.
- The character(s) being interviewed must then answer the questions ICly.

Have fun everyone! ^_^
