The Planning Table
What every Study room needs!
Image
The model isn't the final thing. I won't update a new one but just to note, there are only 3 papers placed on the board, the black stuff is a book and it should have an ink bowl and a feather but I don't know how to model them.
The Planners Table is made out of three separate parts. The body, the board and the writing set.
The Body-
The Board-
The Writing Set-
I am dreadfully sorry that you had to see the brutal massacre of artistic beauty but I don't know how to show you the crafting. My artwork (I don't even think it is considered "art") hath butchered the beauty of Minecraft, I am sorry.
For the sake of not damaging anybody's brain further (Imagine the hospital bills from those three pictures alone.. *shudders*) I shall leave your imagination to see the outcome when these three are crafted together.. Or you can look at the model at the top of the page though it is slightly inaccurate. In both cases, you guys can make bird droppings look good compared to any of my amateur attempts.
The Purpose
Horrible art aside I shall discuss more about my idea in text, my more preferred form of explaining.
The Planners Table occupies a 2x1x2 in Length, Width and Height. If it helps think of its shape as two large chests stacked on top of each other.
Now, the Planners table is for those who has nothing to do when he has an epic house, a superultramegarific house, or a house that is better than mine. The table has several uses. Firstly, it has a map placer where you can place a map there. When you place another the current map pops out like a record from a jukebox. The second feature are reminders. Those are the three papers on the wall. You can select each of them and write as much as you can write in a sign. Useful for reminding yourself when you are checking your map and then looking up and saying "Oh yeah! I gotta craft a map! Imaginary maps go only so far.". The final addition is a book. It contains 10 pages with a lot of space. You can even draw on it.
There are other special uses too. With the map in place there you can draw on the map while it is placed. You can forge maps if you are skilled or name important locations. Or you can invent some pseudo code only other people in your undercover organization of trained cubes can read.
You can enchant the map by placing either Redstone, Glowstone or even those new stuff I haven't seen nor touched with me own square hands and eyes. Meh, whatever. For now I will use the two dusts and nobody will be able to stop me.
Redstone would make the map automatically update. If anything new happens the map would automatically update on it. Glowstone adds dots to the map that symbolize moving targets. Purple for players and red for anything not a player. You can place the two at once making it a good sort of "Satellite Monitoring" device you can use to check for nearby players without leaving the safety of your home.
When equipped with an Ender Pearl and clicking a part of the map you will select a pixel (It will color light green) and if you right click you will be sent there. Good travel use too.
Now you can have a functioning and useful thing to do while you wait the night out. Or if you're a town leader or some important person of the town, you can use this to make guard of the townspeople, check if anybody's missing, newcomers, mobs, animals, and seeing the progress of the town with ease.
Another use if for war. Strategy is important and a command center is very important. Place on your reminders the commands and assaults you will do, the map to monitor for enemy movement and base movement and the environment to give you an advantage and the book to write down your entire bases' defenses and your strategies. Be careful of infiltrators!
And if added with lots of other stuff out there in the suggestions forum like horses, defenses and stuff, Minecraft would feel like one of those games where everything is square and you can be free to do with what you want (Like Minecraft and only Minecraft!) but better and with more stuff.

Perhaps you could make a block that would prevent them from teleporting within a certain distance of that block? You could bury these along the land to hide them and create a vast area nobody could teleport into. Of course this wouldn't affect spawns/nether/aether portals or prevent people from teleporting OUT of an area, as well as player commands (mods still need to moderate? amirite?)
