Hello! Another week, another Times, and this time it’s time to time the Times. What does that mean, you may ask? I don’t know.

I would like to draw attention to this thread, not in an attempt to continue its argument here, but merely to praise and commend @Lady_of_Rohan for finding a relevant issue and decisively act upon it. (P.S. this is the author’s position, not that of the Times or the server)

As I’m sure you’ve all noticed, we are pushing donation again, with pop-ups and banners and the like. It is not really the duty of the Times to proselytize MCME, and no doubt many of you, like myself, do not have the financial independence to donate, but please keep a thought about it.​

We are pleased to announce a new feature of the forums: language fields. Assuming you use the normal graphic style for the forums, you will see this under every person’s name for all of their posts in threads. I have yet to find if there is a place to view it on profiles; if there is please let us know by posting in the thread.

The Guides of the server are trying to implement scheduled tours, which we shall now be announcing in the Times.​

All are welcome to build a farmhouse for the outskirts of Aldburg in plotworld. Read on to see how. Otherwise, work continues on farms, details, the remaining houses, and the keep competition!

Jacen continues to work his way up the cape, redoing mountains (or at least turning them sandy), pasting trees, and adding other details.​

Once again, a fascinating edition of Anfalas news. This week there has been quite a lot completed. Large swaths of terrain have been voxelled, but as project staff stated, only "basic terrain for the eastern section and starting of Pinnath Gelin - waiting until the treebuilds are done to forest them." Although the land itself has made leaps and bounds of progress, the forestation of this region will require artists and staff work on the treebuilds. Either way a huge amount of work done in the space of the week.

Many trees were built this week through the treebuild; special thanks to @IsaacTheBlaze, @BigHead_Dude, and @EmstarrGal for building a ton of them. Keep reading to find out how you can participate!

The mountains by Calembel continue to receive attention, this week getting some new lakes and more streams. It also appears that more farms have been built in the fertile valley of the Morthond. Meanwhile, planning has started in-game for Tarnost’s surroundings (by @Irmo_Lorien) and sand continues to be transformed to grass (by @Eriol_Eandur).​

I am unsure if any work has been done recently, but there are quite a lot of wool outlines on the ground and I expect this to be a pretty magnificent, albeit dilapidated, city when we are through.​

No apparent progress.​

Fornost (@Demonataz) - Work continues slowly via artists and jobs.​

Around the currently nameless village (hey nic, get on that!), some more terrain has been worked on and some outlines have been lain down in preparation for farms.​

Upcoming Tours:

Plotworld Builds:
For an always up-to-date overview and a list of scheduled jobs, please refer to >>this<< subforum and look at the thread titled ”Scheduled Jobs and Open Plotbuilds”.​

None this week - work on the plotbuilds!​

@TheFunnyFace submitted some nice textures for Rohan this week, but didn't make any posts about them, so I thought I would share his lovely work with all of you.

Unlit Furnace Front - major improvement from the current jeweled state!

@DSESGH also posted a nice screenshot; I personally love the haziness and the yellowish clouds in this one.

​

As you all hopefully know already, @Despot666 has evolved into one of our most active and skilled texturers; almost the entire dwarven pack is his work. But now he is looking for helping hands as his future contributions will not only remain in the dwarven packs but also the other MCME Resource Packs. If you are not sure about your graphics skills, do not worry: Despot has offered to teach you the drills with gimp and co. So, if you are interested in influencing the look of future MCME, speak forth through a PM directed to Despot!​

@Tyranystrasz has access to the MCME Facebook page and will regularly upload stuff there. For that he needs, of course, the very best of MCME, and for that he needs YOUR help! If you have a really awesome screenshot to share, submit it >>here<<!​
