BlockZero
I would like to play around with it a bit. Maybe not go all out and do a full city on the temp map, but at least try to figure out how the streets should be laid out, how wide to make them, how big/tall/wide the buildings should be, etc. Maybe just make a 2 block area with only the building's foundations, just to get the dimensions and scale right. It could get too congested if we build too many tall buildings right next to each other. A case of not seeing the trees for the forest.
There should be a central park-type area in the middle, partly forested, with a river and bridges, and a few blocks of townhouses around the main skyscraper region. And maybe a market area, and a parking garage. Subway stations (with working minecarts) or an elevated train (or both). Or even a San Francisco type trolley system with the tracks down the middle of the street. The details will make the place feel more like a city.
While you were offline 404, I got quite a bit more flattened and all of one lake filled in, and 80% of the second lake filled in. Then I was flattening the area some more when the server timed out.
I miss the server :<

I think when we go back to the other map, the city should be copied across and be made the new spawn point. It would give a great first impression.
