Thank you for your kind words, and it's really nice of you to take the time and encourage everybody like this! It reminds me of when I first started playing and had no friends (awww), so I'd hit the "Visit Random Island" button and see all the cool stuff I could look forward to.
I really like the centers of all your islands, right in the middle. You surround your warp gates with a nice, simple design layout. I also very much like your Colosseum island's checkerboard section, with the statues and the checkerboard stone path squares. Looks neat, hadn't seen that before. I also very much like the layout with the large flower beds around the warp gate. Not sure why, because it's not made of super fancy decorations or anything. It's just a very simple stone path layout with the large flower beds, but it looks neat somehow.
Edit: Also, I wanted to point out how much I like your use of small/large habs. You don't automatically upgrade everything like I have been doing, which made me think. The variety is nice, especially your fire section and really your lightning section. Really makes it look more natural somehow, not sure. What I really really like is your water section, with the pond on the left but the small hab on the right. Kind of looks like two identical ponds next to a big pond, but a Fog dragon just happened to wander over and go splashing in the one on the right. Really neat. /Edit
Yeah, definitely looking forward to island #4, which should show up at level 20. I need to get those cold habs off the Colosseum island, cuz they don't fit there nicely. What really blows me away is the folks who have a whole island for rares! My only rare is a Sun! Can't imagine a whole island for them! I keep trying, though.

P.S. Every time I see your screen name here, I think simultaneously of Chevy Chase (Fletch), and also of the Smurfs. Fletch the Smurf. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
