So, been on the server for a while, and accomplished quite a bit with you guys. Found the nether ruins; made a gate there and wound up at -3200x -700z; walked all the way back finding an open ocean and nice cliffs that reminded me of our last map together; gave the grand tour; and started fixing the existing nether gates (placing gates in the nether to match up with the surface so that each gate has it's own place to go: they work to go to the nearest nether gate rather than create new ones, so just placing gates at the right places makes the proper connections work). Also, the Shrine of the Curious cat is out of commission as fall damage is greater than expected and it didn't even create a new nether gate spawning us back at the original one anyway (failed side-project).
Lastly, everything got frozen on my end of the map; namely the entire area from my lake back to the harbor in the main village. I think I might've cursed us somehow by missing snow a little too much. Castle Touran is on hold for the time being. If anyone spots a Mushroom biome, let me know and show how big it appears to be in an SS. If large enough I'll still consider that idea I had, but otherwise I don't want to steal an entire rare biome if it would take up all the space.
Also, Skyward sword today, so you won't see me for the next 3 days roughly.
P.S. To whoever it was asking about the Disgaea recommendations, I can say this after reviewing the art-books; while the areas in game are indeed grid based, none of them really mesh well with the block usage in Minecraft. Mainly because even if you duplicate them, you would not be able to tell that it was man-made or just another randomly generated part of the map. I would personally recommend using the concept art and basing it from there. In those cases, my recommendations would be either Jotunheim of Disgaea 1, or Alche City of Disgaea 2. As I have not played the others; and not wanted to spoil things for myself, not purchased the art-book; I cannot say anything on the account of 3 or 4.
