Hmm, where to start is the question. I've been meaning to reply to this post since it first went up but I think now that it's New Year's is it time that I can actually try and mumble together an answer.
I mean 2014 has been my first full year here on MCME. A full year, fancy that.
I have been so blessed this year to have met so many fantastic, lovely, inspiring and motivating individuals that really care about what they do and are just generally fantastic company. I can certainly say that I have made many true friends on here and that I couldn't be more grateful for the times spent building and playing together, watching films, even singing and reading poetry.
I really hope that things that I was able to help bring in with the help of so many others, such as the Summer Events as well as behind the scene planning of a few more events here and there, have brought as much enjoyment to you as they have me. By far my most favourite times this year have been in tours, jobs or events where we all pull together as a community to have fun.
To pick out just a few moments from this year, I fondly remember:

To pick out just a few moments from this year, I fondly remember:
- The tonnes of marsh jobs at the start of the year. Working with such fantastic staff such as @Will_em and having the brilliant company of people like @Jesskuu and @Malkizid.
- Being promoted with @kyzcool to ranger, despite personally being quite frankly a mediocre tourer at best, the amount of new people I met was fantastic. I still love to say hello to each new member and I got to know so many people in the community really quickly. As ranger I even began with the Summer Event Planning with @Iru. All them spreadsheets. Spreadsheets get you ranks.
- Getting Foreman, because I wanted to help the community build and fix trees after spending many hours doing tree fixes and road jobs. 130 jobs in total I took part in all in all. I remember the many hours I bugged @rwyland to teach me how to build haha.
- I vividly remember a particular Grond Canyon. That was a bit of a laugh as well as the many other voxel derps throughout the year, not limited to, but including: Giant flower balls crashing the server during audiobooks; my giant wool removal during the summer survival and the countless messing arounds with water and lava on main and freebuild.
- Summer Event. I don't really think I can put into words how insane it was to have so many people turn up just for the opening. That vibe I think was so fantastic and just asdfgh. I want to thank everyone again for helping or taking part as it wouldn't be the same without you.
- People drinking to lotr and not actually lasting the full film before giving up and just downing alcohol as well as listening to countless Bohemian Rhapsody choirs that happen spur of the moment.
- Playing with mobs on main with @Credoo and @Despot666 Ever travel a tour on a pig? 10/10
- @gigo09 and fireworks. 'nough said.
- Joining a podcast with co-hosts @rcpopcornman, @Indorilian, @Wollip666, @muteberlin and @jakethegardian as well as countless guests.
- And finally, sleeping through both my first enforcer meeting and @Lady_Of_Rohan trial tour despite making all previous meetings and tours since guide. And generally being comfortable enough to fall asleep any old place on TS.
