OK, I guess I'll have to explain how superior I am than the Banana. You can show my vision for trade in this thread
I know, there is no way a mere mortal like me can win against the godly Banana, but I ill do my best anyway

Who is The Banana?
Anyways I voted for Spiffor, because I don't know who The Banana is. Is it just a screw around option?
EDIT: That's not the only reason why I voted for Spiffor. Since he is a Spiffor he must be spiffy. And who can resist somebody who is spiffy?

No, The Banana is the omniscient presence that we cannot detect, but impacts our lives every day in ways we cannot comprehend. Show some respect.

A summary of my position :
I believe we should make the most gold possible by selling luxuries to the others, while being very prudent when selling resources. I'll also make the best deals for us the AI can accept, except if we must have good relations with this AI for some reason. I'll buy the least possible goods from the AI, as long s we don't need it (no excessive luxuries, no buyings from resources if we can secure them quickly through conquest). I'll be overall very greedy, and won't let a mere coin escape me. I'll mildly lobby for road connections, harbors and marketplaces. I won't interfere in most government decisions.

Hmmm. Spiffor seems to possess a modicum of humility. A rare quality in a politician. OK, I'll vote for him.

You know, being the only human in competition helps to be modest

I voted for Spiffor too, I prefer to have a human doing the trading than having a banana doing it...Bananas are not made as traders, but as trading goods

I voted for Spiffor because I just don't think the Banana will be as fresh after a week or two. :-)

I'll turn to a normal citizen, and I'll let the banana take place in front of my computer. I don't think its supernatural powers will help it in Civ3 trade though.
(I'll throw the banana off my desk when it's too rotten though)

Spiffor.
The banana's likely to get shipped off and eaten somewhere.
We need someone a little more reliable.
