Opening Statement
You all, especially the younger ones among you, know the ever present stereotype of the lazy gamer doing "nothing" all day long. Many of you know the situation that five minutes after you turned on your PC (or whatever device it shall be) you already get blamed by someone to be doing it for hours already. I can't straightly deny the stereotype as I guess there are many out there on which it may fit, but for your all easing I can tell you that with chosing MCME as one of your games to play you definitely made no bad choice in terms of whether your virtual activities are now useless or not. Once you get a bit into it there is so much knowledge and brainwork that flows into such a project that you can indeed profit from it, therefore, even if you have never been confronted by the task to plan something, try to get into the projects and try to reveal the thoughts that were put into it, e.g. what real life things are put into build styles or into terrain. MCME is one of the often rare possibilities to have fun and simultanously learning something, or finally can use your school knowledge you thought you would never need again. Especially profitable it is for people like me whose native language is not English. No doubt that I refined my language skills far better than I could ever have with any boring course.
Project Progress
Andrast (In Progress) - Lead: @Tyranystrasz
Another week, another chunk of terrain! I am really glad I could bring the interest in glaciers and such things to jacen, his awesome feel for nice mountain shapes combined with some geography knowledge is doomed to result in awesome terrain!
Lamedon (In Progress) - Lead: @_Luk
Once more we have both terrain and structural progress to observe in Lamedon. On the terrain side we have proceedings in the south, next to Rendûl, on the structural side a neat new residence in central Lamedon with the name Cardhi Medli, check it out by using that warp!
Lond Daer (In Progress) - Lead: @Mandos
Now that the hall and courtyard exteriors are finished, I'm finishing up the manor exterior which housed the guild of adventurers from Numenor, and the royal family of Lond Daer. House plots have been added near the temple and school, suggesting that work will be begun soon on the city.

Lothlórien Vegetation (In Progress) - Lead: @Eriol_Eandur- bender400
All new trees in Lothlorien are now pasted in. Additionally we finished the vegetation in 5 more sections during some jobs. Thanks to all who helped. At last I can see the finish line, only 10 more sections need vegetation now.

Misty Mountains (In Progress) - Lead: @Emilio_ & @Finrod_Amandil- Eriol_Eandur
It has actually already gotten normal, that when I am writing these lines, @aifendragon is professionally leading Highmoor jobs, thank you once again a lot for your engagement! We are already approaching the halfway-through point of creating these quite extensive moors.
@Emilio_ is back from his holidays and seemingly he regained a lot of energy there; since he's back he managed to finish off the entire Bruinen river, which was initially dug in a 6-hour river dig job.
Moria (In Progress) - Lead: @Despot666 & @Finrod_Amandil@Emilio_ is back from his holidays and seemingly he regained a lot of energy there; since he's back he managed to finish off the entire Bruinen river, which was initially dug in a 6-hour river dig job.
The pillar contest has ended, congratulations to the glorious winners from plot 1! Despot has already pasted the pillars into the 2nd hall. Additionally to that we did put in @Ardelenia's wall design, however this is till being worked on and new mural subjects aswell as some improvements to the existant segments will still follow. Definitely check out this hall as it is now!
Pelargir (In Progress) - Lead: @Credoo & @kisos
All the slums around the city are now done, additionally the details to the streets, from lamps over benches to crates, are being added by adventurers and artists; that is what really brings life to a city!

Closing Statement
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
- Marilyn Monroe
