You could improve your building style with ease:
The Casino is just a boring blocky building. Also the walls are just flat. You could emboss some elements like the windows, add some corners, pillars...
I like the way you use snow blocks in the statue garden. Combine it with (clay) bricks. please vary the shape, dont build straight walls up to lvl 200 :(

maybe you want to cooperate with eah and me. We could decorate the surrounding area between our realms together and make it look like a real city - roads, water, parks, nature.

Some Inspiration from our private creative Server:
Maybe we will rebuild some of these on minerealm, behind the Bliss Farm.

#1: My building style is how it is. The reason the casino is square is because I need as much room as I can for my games. Did you even see the crazy windows? The hanging lights? And how can something not be "blocky" in minecraft? You make it out of blocks!

#1.5: However, I am adding a wave style to make it stand out better.

#2: The statue garden is also pressed for space. Try fitting 16 life-sized statues per floor in one of your crazy building styles. Aint gonna happen. As for windows, I also wanted to do this, but I don't want people looking in at the statue's butts. The walls will be decorated with common faces of skins, including mobs, items, and more. Please don't judge a building that's under construction.

#3: Many, many, many buildings have straight walls. These include ones as famous as Foxtops. Another one is the Bliss Farms! And you guys own that one, so seems a bit hypocritical to me.

#4: I would, however, like to cooperate with you and decorate our area, now that I am done defending my wonderful buildings.

you forget that you are not limted to 1 realm. look at the clow obsidian tower. 2x2 realms, lots of space arround, and a interesting shape, not just a square.
Some Months ago every building i built was symmetric, centered on 1 realm. but i changed my mind. Micro-Symmetry, repeating patterns and elements are great.
But not the whole building has to be centered, small annexe can make the building more interesting.
Dont forget you are not limited to 1 realm

Please don't insult my building skills any more. Especially since I am a good builder. I'm spending many hours to redo the casino just for you. Also, you may want to check your spelling of "opinion".


Now for an update:

Currently, I am focused on redoing the casino. It's going to be an excellent build. And, Jack Corp's Statue Garden is comming along very well. (Thanks hshizzlefresh!) I enchanted a pick for somebody at level 31, and got a silk touch. Well, since they bought it, I gave it to them, but I thought it was cool that I enchanted my first silk.

Well, I no longer have access to the plans of the casino, but another player is going to help me out. As for the farm, it looks like I also have a worker, although not yet to be hired.

The main work is the statue garden. Although it is moving along very fast, I do need to improve its "wow" factor. I am open to suggestions here, but please don't use this as an excuse to take shots at my building technique. There will be pay to good suggestions, but only if I use them to better the Jack Corp Statue Garden.

(For schmid) I have remodeled the casino. I guess you could call yourself the inspiration for it. I admit, it wasn't the best build, but you'll certainly like it now.

(For everybody) Well, casino remodeling is done. Farm under H.Q. going well, and statue garden too. The statue garden is being rebuilt, but with minor modifications, nothing huge. It make not be too hot from the outside, but the inside should look pretty good. All in all I think it's going well. I aim for finishing it before June.
