@Bryson (since this is a little complicated to try to explain via Minecraft mail):
I sort of like the idea of having there
not be a big hill going down into my area, to be honest. What I'm making needs a sort of "walled garden" vibe, and that effect is kinda compromised if it doesn't have walls. I chose to build in the desert pit so people could see it all from a few squares up. (That's also why I wanted to build under the skybridge.
) However, if you need more space for your theater that is
totally cool, just let me know how much space you need and I'll move my grid over.
