If it is a 10% chance to loose the city leader on a whip then after 5 or so whips you are nearly guaranteed a revolt.

Fortunately we are spiritual to believe in Reincarnation, the practicality of that is stunning!

A Maximum sized fort should have a stockpile of 200-800 barrels of booze, in a perfect world. That's a fairly huge quantity, and if all the Forts in the area contributed some of their stockpile, it would definitely be possible to flood a good portion of the world with flaming booze. We'd just have to wait for booze to start behaving like water, rather than jelly.
And we even have 2 wine resources!  Perfect!

Nah; it's a 59% chance for no revolt after 5 whips; then it's 53%, 48%, 43%... may not make sense to you, but that's the numbers.
He's right, Satarus.  Think of it as a 90% chance not to revolt, and go from there.
I'd like to run for keeper. If I'm good at anything in Civ it's probably determining good city spots. Speaking of which, having our entire world map would be kinda awesome so I could give suggestions for spots right now.
Vote for Myroc.  We need a keeper.

Now, to more... covert means of communication.

I vote for Myroc as keeper.

I'd like to be tribal leader of a city with a lot of wine nearby, which will be used for !!Science!!

Unfunny pun isn't funny. I'm also voting for Myroc. Also, are we bent on winning? Wouldn't losing in a destructive way be more dwarfy?

Heh, I didn't think I'd get that much support. Thanks guys. I'll make sure to keep our economy at top.

Now this is a quote worthy to be placed within my signature.

You guys should enter a war of mutual destruction with the other two forums before losing and forcing them to be defeated by the NPC factions.

All in due time. For now, we and the stickmen should cooperate.

Myroc is the new Bay12 Keeper. If you have any last-minute orders to put in let me know please.

As my first order as a new keeper, I think it is highly time for us to get a new city. Build a settler.

Yes, I am well aware we could also capture the inca capital, but this is probably more effort than it's worth at the moment. Let's wait until we have pointier sticks than they do.

No.  You aren't exactly giving me faith in you keeper-skills.  You obviously don't understand the point of a rush.  It must be fast, you see, not slow.
We would also get the capital of Buddhism, which is the only known religion at this point.  A shrine with that many civs following it would be a great cash cow.
The AI is also way easier to rush than to fight.  They will probably only have a few units, since they didn't have time to go into war mode, and this leader in particular will probably start wonder spamming, that is, not building units.
It's really not that hard to whip/chop out 10+ Jags, it really isn't.
Seriously, can you find one spot that would make a good city?

This may be a bit harsh, but I don't want to lose. :P

Instead, I would like to recommend that we build a worker, to chop the trees faster, and since there's really not much else we can build right now that would be of much help.
