My recommended begging guidelines for first begs. Later begging can be more aggressive.
1. Beg for less than 100 gold.
2. Don't beg for less than 50 gold.
3. Beg for 10 or 20 less gold than the AI has. (Beg for 50 if they have 60, beg for 90 if they have 110.
4. If someone has bananas, beg for them instead of gold if we can't trade for them.
5. Don't beg for GPT.
6. Don't beg for techs.
7. Don't make demands (i.e. don't beg from anyone who is not pleased or friendly.)
I basically pulled these guidelines out of the air from my past experiences. I always beg as soon I get currency, or when someone who is pleased with me gets it. I recommend any other beggers chime in.
Make a reminder noting what leader in 25 turns to consider begging again whether you are granted the beg or turned down. (Alt-M)
That is something I completely missed to input in my PPP.
We have two pleased AI's. I will respect these rules. Say green fire if okay (technically I know bcool is agreeing to this).

Eiffel, Fritz and Ramanujan are the three workers where changes weren't included in PPP.
These corrections by
bcool are going to be applied (I verified it and automatically thought they are strong).
Only Stevenson in Silver wasn't verified and corrected. I think
bcool mentioned something about a missing forest in the real game, but I didn't localize the post in question.
Slight changes are necessary after mining and roading silver plot and those changes will be decided according to what I deem the best micro.

James Bond was moved into Trojan Horse city at T111. After the five turns of stationary waiting, I will use the missionary to spread taoism at T116 if the holy didn't an automatic spread for us.
T111: Spy moved. Sorry.
T112: 10 % starionary discount.
T113: 20 % starionary discount.
T114: 30 % starionary discount.
T115: 40 % starionary discount. GLib completed.
T116: 50 % starionary discount. Switch to Taoism first I guess and steal if possible under Anarchy.

After Currency completion, if nobody has Literature, I go for Music in a aggressive way because I saw how fast they teched. Nonetheless, the tweaks won't affect main cities and in addition this time Isengard (we need to fend ourselves asap, but
mabraham suggested fake Mansa/Shaka will go after fake Monty/Gandhi) and possibly Silver city if the galley counts that much. Where will the galley go? This doesn't belong to my turn-set but I suppose towards Isengard, which makes a Suez canal.

The boat initially in North Witch territory will aggressively create a trade route towards Witches of the East. That way, I think we will be able to trade to Witches of the South.

In Wizard of Oz story, I don't really well story as I am not an american nor and english native, but does wizard of Oz's lands have a higher density of mountains?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are final additions to my PPP. Agreeing or not? If no response in 15 minutes (during which I will try to refine my tweaks if possible...), I play. We have to speed up...despite we clearly know
Kaitzilla won't be able to prepare anything at this hour.
