You don't. Nobody has heard from him in a long time. Until and unless he decides to return to the team, there is nothing to do but move on without him.

Like f*ck it is dead
it's more alive now that it was half a year ago...
More alive by a long way.
So damn alive that I'm beginning to get that point that I'll drag it back from the afterlife if people claim it's dead. I'm not the best leader for this project - I need more assistance from a thousand skill-sets to create the mod - the Devs all need more teamsters under them to get more done - and I know I should be giving more to it, but we all have real-life to life first.
but
The hype dies tonight. it's only morrowind, it's got limits - and while we'll do everything we can, those limits remain.
the Pretentious up-it's own arseness of the old attitudes died. We're making a mod. it will kick arses, but it will be a mod to immerse yourself in the world, first and foremost.
The arrogance that was held I think I safely killed a long time ago.
The aloofness, the failure to deliver to you the would-be players, if I did'nt kill, the pie-fights and goat-blowing certainly killed. Thanks Dark0ne, I'll never live it down. y' baastard.
But we're doing it at a plausible pace. we're ensuring that it's designed properly. we'll not bullsh*t you, it's still a long way off. that 60% complete is one of the most optimistic figures I've seen in a long time.
The secrecy on things like storyline remains - we're not going to let that out the bag.
The Screenies and the artwork and the samples will trickle out at the same rate, perhaps more in the future. that won't change untill we're in a position to do so.
the philosophy of the Mod remains. and the philosophy has changed. yes, that's a contradiction. but saying more will have to wait for another day.
Perhaps someday there'll be a "Suzerain on" post alongside Daerk's vision...
I'm not D. I'm suzerain. The vision I have remains that which will shape the memod, as it was before. I suspect it might end up darker and more grandiose in narrative, with me directing the whole mod, but little else will alter. The Mod remains.
and the show goes on, behind the scenes
Dead? not by a long way. Not with what I have in line.
Suzerain
getting fired up for another design blitz, ready to push the mod further

Sounds like a solid plan, Suz. Now let us see some screens!
~Valdir
My suspisions are confirmed that the Dark Lord, Daerk, has resigned. There is a power vacume to be filled. I believe it's time to spring into action. NOW, I will unveil my plan.....!!!
REVOLUTION NOW!!
*In walks fifty of my personal guards, armed to the teeth, who instantainiously sullute Fearless Leader(me, YOU FOOLS!!)*
My armies have already destroyed the remnants of the old regime. Those who do not loyally serve the spirit of this revolution are the enemies of the people! You will fufill your duty to the newly founded People's Republic of Middle Earth, or you will discover the pain of political re-education. No point in resisting now, we controll all major government functions and infrustructures and a quarter of my forces have just invaded Poland!
You will now all swear fielty to the Republic. You will all be given social and carreer assignments as soon as possible. Goats and pies from this day forward are contrabanned. Any who heckle my spelling abilities shall labor long in the sweat pits of Mordor!
Mua HA hA Ha HAAhaaaa!
Tom Foolery aside, I'm confident in Suz's and Wookie's and Morgoth's and everyone else's ability to finish the mod with the quality invisioned from the begining. Your artists, for cripes sakes, not just a bunch of hyped up fans. To tell the truth, I've been waiting for this anouncement. Just hope there will be room for Daerk if he is ever freed up enough to come back
PEACE P.S. MEmod is mine!!!

From this day on, the official language of the Me-Mod forums will be... Swedish! Silence! In addition to that, all forum users will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside, so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!

Now I am convinced that MEMod would be better than we have imagined so far.
It happens all the time in those situations. If you don't fall, you will arise even more powerful than ever. If you get my meaning
"I suspect it might end up darker...."

Hmmmm... Swedish... I've already begun to learn that language

But where is the revolution, compadre
? Can't see it...
As many people I am a long-time lurker who seldom posts, and I am sorry that Daerk has left the project, but nevertheless I am delighted to see that the development of the mod is progressing.
I am especially delighted that some of the main developers are trying to curb the ongoing hype about this mod. In my view it really got overtop now and again, with people demanding the implausible of the developers. I am therefore pleased to see that someone is trying to hold back the many pretensions about the mod that’s been floating round the forums.

I haven't been posting much lately in fear of getting flamed due to grudges some of you may have against me due to... something that shall never be spoken of again. 
I will however risk saying this:
I am sorry to hear that Daerk is leaving. He was a very interesting person and led the mod well (from what i could see.) There is however no doubt in my mind that Suzerain is a more than appropriate replacement for him and has been doing an excellent job so far.
I hope that Daerk finds solutions to his problems and rejins teh MEMod in the future as a Snior Dev.

over the top?
it went over the top, took the opposing trenches and was almost in berlin before christmas...
if we'd had any more hype, it'd have been the second coming of the messaih... and frankly, it was a choice of kill the hype, or kill the mod. I chose to kill the hype.

Jeez, I'm on vacation for 3 weeks and come back to this.
Well, first of all, good luck Suzerain. This is one hell of a project to even imagine completing, but I hope you guys can pull it through.
Obviously there is much much more to do, but it seems to a year-long forum poster that a lot has been done. I really do wish that this will be completed, at least in some variation, because it is still going to be an awesome game. I just hope that if development is suspended, all the work is not destroyed and lost, for some of it I assume could always be used in the distant future.
Anyway, good luck again, thanks for everything so far, and don't forget the real world, that's first.

It might be... [in which case I'm commiting suicide

I've just been looking over the forums since my last post here and saw something incredible. There is a huge amount of devs and teamsters working on this, there are a large number of applicants continually hoping to become part of the team, and there has been an active community following this for years. I hope this leadership shift can move quickly, cause other than that, it seems memod is at its largest yet (at least from my view).
I'm sorry to have read that Daerk has left the team. It is a set back for sure, but, as I have sorely learned, RL must take priority over flights of fancy. I wish the restructured team the best of luck and godspeed... By-gum we've been waiting long enough !
But in all earnestness, his commanding presence will be missed, but since I believe everything happens for a reason (call it fate or karma or whatever) perhaps it is just as well that he had to step down.

The official language of memod is in fact the language of the “mooooooo” and “bunneh”, for these languages are far more superior then weed smoking Swedish 
well, i must say, we all know daerk will be missed. Hopefully he will come back and help complete this mod.
on the plus side though, we also all know what a perfectionist daerk is, and with a new leader at the helm we could quite possibly see considerable progress towards the completion of the mod.

Sad, that he left. Reminds me of P.O.D. and Evanescence. Sadly enough, all teams can't stay together forever.
But look at forementioned bands. P.O.D. came up with their best album (IMO) after Marcos left. And Evanescence continued their tour without Moody.
So, hopefully, MEmod won't be.. you know

Ok guys not so long ago i stumbled along this site and i thought to myself wow these guy are really dedicated to what they are doing and so much passion and understanding is being put into these games well the bethda soft team did a good job on morrowind but there was no compassion because it was just a job to them but you guys aren't getting payed your doing this all for the enjoyment and wow serious if i had to choose a team to work on a game like this and i could choose between bethada and u guys I would most defintly have to choose you guys because you guys are great ok so DONT GIVE UP on this project please because im wettin myself with exictment for this to come out so there ive had my say for 2day.
Hey I can talk to without using punctuation or grammar or spelling so isn't this great fun because no one can understand when my sentences start or stop and then i just keep talking like this because i dont care so ther isnt this great fun like i said.
Anyway, I doubt that they'll stop making the mod because Daerk left. He might even come back.

yeah welcome to the MEMod forum where if you can't speak english as good as us we make fun of you

hi i just registered in this forum in order to the the cape mod for morrowind but came across this awesome idea for a middle earth mod by accident so what i want to say is damn if i hadn't seen this before and why couldnt i have stumbled on this like 1 or 2 years later when the mod is released or at least in the second stage of beta so i wouldn't have to wait so infinitely long for the mod which is something i always dreamed about being more awesome than middle earth online since i am not really interested in online multiplayer rpg's but morrowind's concept of open-ended gameplay really appeals to me so much so that i am thinking of writing a dissertation on self sustaining npc paradigm that can be used to greatly enhance the single player rpg world environment anyway in short i am a new fan of this mod development and will be checking out this forum as regularly as i can!
Sorry, didn't know what got over me, i'll use punctuation from now on. 
To quote Michael Jackson: "You're just being ignorant!"
To not use punctuation is not stupidity, nor is it lazyness! It's a lifestyle... Just like having slumber-parties with a bunch of kids...
getcape: You have no idea what you've just gotten yourself into! Being a fan of MEMod is hard! Very hard! At times you will reconsider your life completely... You'll cry... You'll hate... You'll never sleep again, from fear of missing the uploading of the mod... It's tough!

In fact MEMod is so addictive that soon we'll be marketing 'MEMod Fix' in your local pharmacy. It comes in syringe form and will be available for the reasonable price of $1000. Each shot will transmit a screenshot of a character model and a landscape shot directly into your brain. The downside of course is paralyzing strokes, massive hemorrhaging in the brain, and cancerous tumors.

So ImmortalSnafu what is the 'EXCACT' date of the release of this stuff 
They aren't setting one, if you're talking about the MEMod.

That's going to happen in every forum you go to that lasts longer than a month. The so called "old schoolers" have more experience on the forums. This doesn't give them any right to flame, but it gives them the right to critic people when they're wrong because they have been around long enough to know what's right and wrong.
I think Icefiddell was asking for the release of ImmortalSnafu's MEMod fix... I know I can't wait for it!

Regarding this comment, forums are about communication. If a poster chooses to post in such a way that it makes deciphering his/her post a chore - eg by using 'txt spk' (for which there is absolutely no excuse outside an SMS), '1337 5P34|<', or stream of consciousness posting (such as free-flow posting devoid of any punctuation) - it shows a complete lack of respect for other forum members who have to waste their time trying to render this into a legible form. Objecting to this style of posting is not the same as making fun of people whose command of the English language is not perfect, and your statement is nothing more than an offensive comment.
As to the poster who stated this was a 'lifestyle choice' - please don't inflict this lifestyle on everybody else. Or some MEMod devs might just decide to make a 'lifestyle choice' of answering all questions in Anglo-Saxon verse.

If you really cannot see the irony in the first post I quoted here, then please acquire a sense of humour as a matter of urgency. I believe that surian's comment was meant as a joke - an opinion which seems to be shared by at least one other poster. Perhaps you feel that you have been insulted - if so, sort in out in a pm with surian. It is absolutely no excuse to make yet another denigrating blanket statement about the MEMod team or forums.
Is the mod out yet???
