Hey Nathan,
Don't worry that your MOCs a bit bigger than was originally intended. If
you want your roads to be wider, then make them wider. I don't think that
anyone can say (or even wants to say) that there is only one right way to
build something. As you said in your post, "just build for fun." After
all, (little lego heresy here) these are just toys. Not real life. The
only time that rigid guidelines need to be in place is when people actually
get together for a big show or conference. If it is just you or some
friends getting together, go with whatever happens. I am not sure why
things got so heated over this standard thing. All it is meant to be is a
challenge to build and post more. And it has done that. Legos are meant to
foster creativity. I think the market was (and still is) a rather creative
idea. And it has spawned more outbursts of creativity. So, anyway, let's
get building.
