You mean, continue to build units almost exclusively like you've already been doing the last 150 turns? 
The tidal wave of lurker resentment that would come down on you if YOU were the one to finally spike the wheels of the mighty Whack-A-Mole that is the Zulu nation...can you carry that burden? Can you?

Draw your own analogy from this...

However, I'm still alive and you're decidedly dead, so that does tip the balance of scales back in my favor, even with my failure to capture cities so far.  But this is obviously just a ploy to attract posts. I think whacking the Zulu would be fun. I'll keep running my chariots around while I prepare. 
History remembers more of accomplishments than the downfall.

I'm not sure it is correct that someone who died in this game urges another player on to revenge him.

Well if we were discussing burning Serdoa's cities that would be Brick calling for his own revenge. The Zulu never did him any harm, only me. So he's advocating for me to get my own revenge. But, to quote myself from above...

Most. Factually. Incorrect. Statement...Ever.
There is nothing held more sacred than the right of a lurker to cry out for blood, any blood, at any time. Except, that is, when said lurker has been eliminated from that game. His role is to lead the cry for blood, any blood, no matter what.
(In all seriousness, nothing said in this thread is serious. Xenu attacking another civ is solely his right as a player in the game, as much as Commodore/Zulu deciding to war with one another. It is well known that lurkers prefer bloodshed, and Xenu is just pandering to the masses. Nothing inappropriate is happening here.)

And I'm mainly just trolling Xenu to go on a murderous rampage as per his reputation, I'm not trying to give him any actual advice.

Xenu has a reputation as a rampager? Surely he would have taken a city or two if that were true. /ducks

Of course I'm pandering, look at today's post count. It's working! It isn't like I'm going to do anything particularly relevant in this game from here on out, Plako has this in the bag unless Serdoa starts some magic really, really soon. Everything is for fun until the game ends in concession, whenever that happens. Like Lewger's budding cultural victory attempt. It's for the lulz, it has a 0.00001% chance of success (stat from the Bureau of Made Up Statistics).
And of course if Brick is offering advice I'd do well to just ignore it, but it's damn fun advice so I think I'll give it a go. Anyone who is able to be significantly harmed by a rump civ like mine at this stage of the game isn't relevant either, so attacking them (successfully or not) really doesn't matter that much. It's just for fun anyway. Well, unless I do actually try to kneecap Serdoa's glittering twin cities and indirectly end the game by weakening Plako's only remaining credible rival. He isn't exactly guarding those cities very well. But it would take longer for me to build up the boats needed to try that than it would to attack the Zulu, so I'll go that way. Not to mention that Serdoa would see an incoming attack since he surely has visibility in all my cities through espionage points.
That post got too long...sorry. TL;DR - attacking Zulu, FUN. If they don't want me burning their cities now they should have killed me earlier.

I'm not sure who I'm quoting now, but "You, sir, are an ass."  I think it may have been Bender....

I was totally going to kneecap you for " Anyone who is able to be significantly harmed by a rump civ like mine at this stage of the game isn't relevant either" and then you go ahead and make the very point that I was poised to kneecap you for, and, you even used the word "kneecap" in your statement. So, bother.
More importantly, why is my banana from the previous post not dancing?
