To summarize my positions:

I am, by nature, a builder. I love huge, culture rich empires. However, despite this, I strongly believe that an early war is an important for a beginning nation's development. The exact way this war will be carried out depends on our civ, but I will emphasive both offensive and defensive units early on, in addition to building settlers at every opportunity and after a couple of cities, some workers. After our early war(s), I will emphasize city infrastructure, especially cultural buildings for cultural take overs, early culture bonuses and because diplomacy is smoother when your ciov has a high culture rating. This is my platform.

Thank you punkbass for the first summany and not a link instead!

despite our disagreements about having a constitution, game-wise my ideas are very similar to those of punk so he gets my vote

punkbass2000. Do you think that all cities should have baths and temples to Mars?

Oh yes, very much so.

M&M's, too.

Especially if we're Roman.

Finally,

A poll where I don't have to feel bad about voting against the banana... however, 2 excellent candidates with similar styles - I'm hoping that you both get the opportunity to fill your boots in this post at some point, but for now.....

oh yeah... any statements concerning whipping?
always? never? only during war?
This isn't a vote deciding issue for me - just interested.

I support poprushing in a reasonable way. Reasonable means, that it shall not hinder the growth of the city to it's limit due to needed entertainers. And it has to be limited to 1 citizen, because a second would double his time of unhappiness. So, probably poprushing a Temple (with 1 citizen loss) is fine, rushing a spearman too, if the city is getting attacked, but rushing a knight at once would be far too much.

I support whipping to an extent. Typically only with buildings, requiring one (maybe two, in extreme circumstances). Also for defensive units in a city that is threatened.
