Arena is done although I am happy for people to make improvements as they see fit:
Floor is just sandstone, it will be easy to add cover e.t.c to it for games.
The room opposite has the lever to open the gates to start a game. (Thankyou Ralphy for wiring it up)
This is the access to the tunnels to reach the starting rooms and the room with the lever.
Here is a view of the front of the building:

I'm laying claim to a rather cool island close to the Jungle. Its uninhabited as far as I can tell. Which is surprising. If anyone else wants to build here let me know so we can agree on boundaries etc.
Dang, I just noticed that island yesterday and thought it would be a great place to do something with, alas, I couldn't think of a worthy plan and have missed my chance.

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Chunks#Spawn_Chunks The chunks in the area immediately surrounding the world spawn point are special chunks that are never unloaded from memory as long as at least one player is in the Overworld. This means that things like redstone mechanisms and iron golem farms will continue to operate even when all players are very far away.
I put some stuff in a chest under the Christmas tree at Spawn. Some rail, a few stacks of snow, and a few other bits. Help yourself (The East Nether tunnel could use a rail system).
Also, @Craftermo: My Internet dropped out while you were over, sorry mate. I'll catch up with you sometime, thanks for the help

Who own's the tiny 1.5 block high netherrack tunnel with a minecart rail line running along underneath the North Tunnel? It's tiny, with half slabs on the ceiling. My guess is its designed as a transport system for moving storage carts, not passengers.
I was digging a tunnel of my own (planning a building a rail line linking my portal to the nether hub) and I accidentally broke into this tunnel and destroyed a section of the track.
Whoever owns it, I apologize. But you might want to line it with stone or something, as its currently invisible.
Hey all, just a quick post to ask everyone not to take anything from the chests I have setup in the Market District at spawn. They're the ones right under the Dakka sign.
Also please refrain from building anything in that area as well unless you have already spoken to me about it. I've got a few more things I'd like to add before I "open it up" to everyone else.
I'm a slow builder, but it will be done soon. I'm looking forward to seeing what builds people contribute afterwards!

Actually its a 2 tall track hole with halfslabs in the middle.
it keeps the pigmen out.
i made it invisible so that people cant see it
if you want we can extend it straight underneath so you can use the secret entrance
My intention was to build a long wide central tunnel running directly underneath the North tunnel, along which people could build minecart rail lines to connect their portals directly to the Nether Hub. Sort of a secondary North tunnel - the existing one above being for foot traffic, and the new tunnel underneath being for Minecarts, with branching tunnels leading to the portals.
I wanted to do a wide tunnel too but i find that without the half blocks traffic goes nuts when pig men spawn so i made it with halves. no real way around it
speaking of multiple rail lines, A project is underway to build a train hub under the nether hub with tracks going out to all the portals.
If you would like to be connected to the hub, post so we know your active, with the direction to your portal.
You'll be responsible for the track at your portal room. I won't break through any ones walls, but I'll help get the track there. Or if you don't want a track to your place let us know that as well.
Donations of stone, cobblestone, 1/2 slabs, tracks, gold, redstone, can be donated to the chests in the nether hub.
I'll be taking the lead for the west tunnel, so if your portal is out that way feel free to discuss it with me.
Ordgar & desubot have taken the lead for the north tunnel.
We need someone to take lead for the south & east tunnels.
The North tunnel is almost complete, just filling in the walls now. After that I'll be adding lighting, then laying down redstone blocks to power rail tracks.
Prossibly! I forgot if I was south or north tunnel, but wasn't east or west, IIRC.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.
