My massive wall of cobblestone, ranging from 5 to greater than 40 tall says that I do not want things spawning inside my city.
CAPTCHA: Nionsion LIMITS.
Actaully I think I'm going to start calling it that now, thank you Captcha.

My current Base of operations is built into a floating island, glass bottomed basement , watch tower on top, bridges connecting me to the near-by mountain regions, mines built all through them, tunnels leading me to the neighbouring biomes.
I guess I just like having accessibility to my acquisitions... In the sky.

Hmm, ATM I have two:
One is a bog standard two story house with a bed, furnace, storage and a workbench. Probably 9x9, made of cobble with wood floor and a glass roof. This is so bland because it is really close to a large Graeco-Roman temple on the top of a hill, with smooth stone, wool, cobble and mossy cobble all used in it's construction for the 'frescoes', roof, columns etc. etc.. Inside is a portal to the Nether and also a massive torch covered back wall. Underneath the temple is a little 'hellish room' with lava flows and burning Netherrack.
My other house is a three story, luxurious house, with a large fancy basement with a mini museum (stands for iron, diamond and gold blocks and a cake), a large store room joined on to it by a passage, a mezzanine floor overlooking my living room with a bedroom on it. In the living room is some carpet art, titled 'Red vs Blue' it is a 4x4 square with two edges blue of different hues and two red edges of different hues. In the middle is two purple blocks and two grey blocks (guess what that's from). On the roof is a little swimming pool with a diving board and a boat.
Oh yeah, the whole thing is floating off the side of a cliff, joined to the mainland by a 5 across bridge: the basement floor and walls are made of glass.
I guess it shows that I am taking Classics and History for GCSE, I like building relatively unorthadoxly and always think of defence first (the temple and house are both well lit, with safe rooms and only one real way in).

On most of my worlds I build a "Useful" temporary house to act as a base while I gather enough materials to build something better. The temporary house is still fully functional, its just rather ugly.
It always has 5 rooms
1. Entrance hall / Crafting room
2. Display room that connects to all other rooms
3. Indoor strip mine
4. Storage Room
5. Entrance to fast travel network (Underground roads, rail or canals)
I think this says that I like to be organized.
I also spend a large amount of time constructing multi-story supply depot buildings, with at least a double chest for every object in the game.
Also sometimes instead of building separate buildings I just constantly expand my existing building moonbase style, using glass or cobblestone tunnels to connect buildings.

Great ideas but zero dedication.
My underwater base made of glass still isn't finished and I don't intend to get back to it.

It says that I'm a bad architect.
I live in a hideous castle, because my resources aren't substantial enough for me to build the underground city I wanted to.

One big castle as the centerpiece of my empire, ontop of a big ass hill/mountain, with a tunnel that goes deep down, which spreads out into more tunnels to other bases around the world.
My first, base was a huge tower, connected by a 2 floor passage to a mine, where every couple levels i would lay properly constructed safe zones, built on the style of underground labs
also i like using only clean stone to build my tower, cobblestone looks ugly.

My current world's main bases are a humble little cave with a main room and a bedroom and nothing else, and just outside an underwater bunker type thing with a glass roof.
I guess it says that i got bored and made an underwater bunker type thing, I'm really not sure.
On my last world though, i had a mansion on atop a desert mountain, complete with a work room, winding stairwell, art gallery, bath room, and a near complete library that even had a huge chair. Then dying a few times and a bunch of creepers and spiders caused yet another rage quit.

My minecraft classic saves say that I don't have access to a credit card.
I've built a couple of castles, an underwater base, complete with water filled tubes for elevators, a cloud city, and a dwarven city, with hidden exits.
The problem with my minecraft constructions is they always seem really empty and lonely, as there are no characters using them. The world is completely deserted.

A 15x15 tower that extends from sea level to the top of the map world. 16 floors + plus the rooftop (which has swimming pool at the very top, extending into the floor below with glass.
On each alternating floor starting from floor 2 there is a walkway extending around the tower complete with battlements. The roof has the same battlement/walkway arrangement, but has a second battlement walkway slightly lower than the first.
Each floor has redstone circuitry extending right around the room, lit by several redstone torches. The battlement levels also have this circuitry following around the pathway.
There are 2 3x3 type spiral staircases in the rear corners which extend to the very highest point of the tower.
Hundreds of torches line the inside and outside of the tower ensuring every inch of the tower is well illuminated at all times.
There used to be a small forest of trees surrounding the castle, but I eventually cut them all down and replaced the soil with cobblestone to create a courtyard. The courtyard took up more space than was originally available, so the tower now compromises the entirety of an island unconnected to the mainland. The courtyard has battlements too.
Under the tower is an enormous mine extending to bedrock, just above which I am currently constructing an enormous monster trap (100x100 in size, all carved 10 or so squares above bed rock). The trap itself is intended as a drowning trap, but I'm considering how I can implement a lava blade into the design for efficiency reasons.
Outside of the tower I have a glass underwater fort accessible by boat that I was constructing before I started my monster trap. At present there are 2 levels, the first 10x10 and the second 20x20 with an adjoining 20x30 long hall. I'll continue construction after the monster trap is complete.
I also have a few smaller projects including a greenhouse where I grow wheat, a cactus maze, and some experimental logic gates that I have recently started (I recently got a random logic gate to work, which I'm quite proud of).
In real life I live in a small room and even if I had piles of cash, I'd just buy a nicer small room with better stuff in it.
So... My Minecraft base says that I like to waste time on a computer I guess.
Not much more.

I always start in a cave, and then extend from there once I get enough cobble stone to make something large enough to live in. Probably because I can't be bothered making a proper castle, and theres less danger inside. Less Creepers at least, and they cant jump out from behind you in a cave.
I like building houses in the side of cliffs overlooking a nice view.
Only problem is I'm fussy as hell. The cliff area has to be elevated or I won't bother, the part of the cliff I build into has to be fairly large and big enough for an upstairs area and it has to be close to my mining area.
If anyone's seen Kevin1811's (zNoxRegretzxzx is his youtube name I believe) Minecraft LP the area he builds his first house is pretty much my dream spot.

Underwater glass bunker connected to the surface with a flooded vertical shaft to a lighthouse in the middle water and a dry shaft leading to a lit tree farm that is also on the water and blocked off. Mine shaft leads down with boat shaft for round trip and gate to nether is blocked with two sets of doors.
I'm paranoid and concerned for my security.

I build with glass... and LOTS of it. Either a glass tower or a glass base in a mountain or better yet, when there's a natural "bridge" between mountains I build a "hanging" glass base there. Even among my friends I'm know to be nuts about glass.
I guess I like to be able to see EVERYTHING... or in worst case as much as possible. Then again, I have a light case of control neurosis
Also, it looks the most modern, I'm a sucker for sci-fi.

I have a kingdom inside a mountain, but then build massive walls outside, often connected to the sea, with TNT traps everywhere in the tunnels..
