A side-effect of this round being poll-based rather than post-based like the previous rounds is it's harder to keep this topic bumped.
Question: If I choose to extend the poll's time length, that won't reset the votes currently cast, will it? I'd like to make the end date longer for this one.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by terraforming here?
Actually, your thread reminded me of another issue I have with town-building in SMP. I hate how everyone loves building towns by just using a command to create a giant, flat space for a generic grid town. Real towns are built into the terrain. Things like mountains and water features make a town have more character and feel more realistic, but so many people ignore the terrain entirely when planning a town, and they're missing out on a lot of natural beauty.
I've found red mushrooms in the overworld, but yeah, they're not that common atm. Doesn't mean that can't be changed, and even if it's not, the idea of forcing people to take a big risk for a big payoff seems like it would be a good way to add to the challenge.
I'm a big fan of huge cities. I've got an idea for a server where everyone who joins it is tasked with becoming a part of one gigantic city. Do any servers like this currently exist? If not, what's the biggest city you've ever seen on a server? Please let me know the servers, I'd love to see some examples. Youtube videos would also be appreciated.
I'm aware similar modes have been mentioned and promised, but with almost no information to go with it, I think it's fair to speculate and suggest until we hear a more fleshed-out plan from the almighty Notchster.
