EDIT

There's a town (4 towns next to each other actually) called Atlantis, there's no warp, but I have a home saved there, you should have a look at it

 

actually there's 2 warps: atlantis1 and atlantis2. If I'm not wrong, @Hiccabup made it entirely

 

That one is submerged, just inside a glass dome. You mean, submerged without a glass dome? But I inferred from you post that yours would have a glass dome as well.
Anyway, I have a book I wrote for the Lost in Space build competition (Feb/Mar 2015), I can give you some copies.
Oh: how will you let players read the books without letting them steal them?

 

So they would basically need you online to get a copy of the book, because written books cannot be sold via trade signs. Am I correct?

 

Now that I have checked it, written books cannot be sold to server, so users would not have a great incentive to steal them.
For this reason I think a better option would be to leave them free to collect from a chest, and ask users to please make a donation through a trade sign next to it. Yes, many might take a book and not pay, but I think you would be more than paid back by wealthy donors.
I myself would be happy to provide the library with a steady flow of copies of my book, so you won't be affected by the cost of the raw book-and-quill-s needed to make the copies yourself.

 

Okay, just wondering here but, how will people with out the water plus donation, like me, go from building to building with out dieing? Also, if you put a warp in, how can that not be considered a "player trap out side a non-pvp zone"?

 

Very good point.
Here's an idea: place hidden sponges under the roads' pavement ;) you will have the roads magically immune to water
If you want, the sponges might be hidden inside the building's structures as well, which would give an appearance of the city being protected by a force shield ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Atlantis

 

ECC's sponges disobey the laws of vanilla MC - even wet sponges clear a full 9x9x9, and they also prevent water from flowing in again. They are not blocked by something as simple as walls. :)

Alteulerian hist?

 

bingo

 

I don't think this should be considered necro, as the thread creator is still active and plausibly still working at this (big) project.
So, how's it going?
