Favorite victory conditions?

So do people normally enable any of the optional victory conditions, and if so, which ones?

I always use "Peace For 1.0 Years" only.
Not that it ever comes to that, but if I have a loyal friend, I'm not going to turn on them just cause we've defeated our enemies.

If I play hot seat, percentage above second place score makes for a good game. Against the computer almost always no options.

No 'Victory Condidtions' (read 'No Mercy), just 'Last one standing'.....

(EDIT) Damn Emoticons!!!!

I vote for Peace 10.0 years.... (I know the kill 'em all types don't like this, but it won't change your strategy!)

I tried Peace 1.0 years once, and it was very difficult to achieve. I was closely-allied with everyone else, but my allies kept declaring war on each other! I'd ask them to make peace, and they would, but only for one turn. Then they were at each other's throats again. It made my Pacifist Federation people so sad, that we finally just enslaved them all (for their own good).

I use peace for 6 years. I too RP alot and honor all my treaties. I have yet to achieve a peaceful victory.

My favorite would be all the victory conditions turn on and maxed out.

That makes for one hell of a long game, and very interesting if you play god for a minute and combine all the AI empires into one big AI empire.

Yes, I do use the Rebel Alliance race style when I do this.

No, not using any modded AIs.
Yes, have MEE turned off.
I don't know if I really got it to work either, since I had to take over most of the AI players in order to enforce the peace.

How do you accomplish this? Are you using any of the modded AI's that won't make treaties? ...do you have MEE turned off? I have tried the peaceful approach before, but NEVER have I had it work. Maybe I just didn't wait long enough??? Besides, IMO peacetime is a little too boring in a 4X game.
