Join the new world

I know the MoCH has its ups and downs of activity, usually along with the community's activity level, but this month's Empress Day must not be skipped, so I begin my return from my eVacation to help make sure the MoCH stays alive.

April marks a strong cultural achievement for eJapan, Empress Day, an simple event that started out as a random RP stunt that grew into a strong tradition in eJapan, becoming one of the longest if not THE longest running cultural event in all of the eWorld.

This month is the 5th Anniversary of Empress Day, 5 years this tradition survived and flourished in our great nation of eJapan, thanks to the many citizens that have come and gone through out the years of our community. Do not forget and give up on eJapan's unique culture and community, and lets reach for the Decade marker.

With activity on the down, I will hold nominations & votes through google docs, discussion in the comment section, and I still encourage supporters to campaign their nominations.

Happy 5TH Anniversary Empress Day! Stay strong and keep eJapan's community alive!



Rules
1 - Anyone with access to the MoCH forum has the right to nominate 1 (one) candidate for empress. All nominees should be female. If you wish to nominate a questionable candidate, please present a public case as to why you believe they are acceptable on the forums to the MoCH before making your nomination. MoCH staff reserve the right to determine what candidates qualify for the competition.

2 - All nominees must be from an Anime Series (OVA/OAV, movies, ONA, tv series), a Japanese Video Game, or a Japanese Manga. Please no Hentai/Porn. Again, even if a character does not fall into this category, MoCH staff still reserve the right to determine what candidates qualify for the competition.

3 - All nominations must at least include a name, image, and the name of the media (series, movie, manga, game, etc) the nominated character appeared in. Please do not post images containing nudity.

Following that election, they are permanently disqualified from running.
