Inspired by this picture, I realized we have not yet lost our chance to make a dream that began more than a year and a half ago come true. I've gotten a bit more active, coming onto the server a couple times a day to just look around. Perhaps The Metropolis has always been the butt of jokes (with some good reason), but looking at what could have been kind of fire me up inside. If there are people willing to help me in collecting shit tons of supplies or willing to spend every last cent purchasing them, I want to complete this forsaken city.

I'm not sure if a rail has been completed, but either way there is a way to basically AFK-walk from Orion to Minas using a tunnel I dug ages ago.

Besides that, I would suggest we work from the outside moving inwards. Before I left I outlined the wall entirely so it should not be too much trouble to raise it up. The design is more problematic as the plan to make it out of SRO will most likely not happen. Simple stone brick should suffice in this case.

The roads are fairly satisfactory right now, but completing them to every outer wall would not take too much work. The design is simple and easily replicated as well.

The inner city is different, as I am not as familiar with the design plans. I'm sure there are people here who are, and their help would be appreciated. I don't think, however, that digging the entire inner city down to the planned level is necessary. Interior designs can come afterwards, but I think if we focus on building the exterior first we will have a better idea of where to proceed.

I don't expect too many people to join me, but I'm feelin like using my next month of free time to put in some solid building. I don't think it'll be finished in that time but I see no reason not to try. Let's turn the biggest unfinished project on the map into a monument perseverance and a symbol of Gondolin.
