It's not quite that simple. Not only is weilding 10 swords as difficult as it sounds, but assuming you don't headshot each of the 10 first hits, you still have to kill 2 people, therefore you would probably get owned by the other two, as you only have about half of their health, and they both duel weild Yewbeam bows and Unobtainium swords, which will kill you with ease if they both use all of their weapons.

Edit: I'm bored. I think I'll go and write my solution up, as I don't want to be left out.

Firstly, I would stay when the opportunity arises, although I would take the opportunity to nab a few unguarded valuables. When they come back, I will try my hardest to become friends with everyone and buy as many people as I can, and try to become trusted enough to set up a seperate settlement at magma (which is "coincidentally" as far away as you can get), which will supposedly be the empire's way of gathering lots of coal and iron, and guarding special reasources so rebels cant get them.

So I (and the people I own) will head off to magma, and I will keep 8 coal for myself, and when nobody is looking, I will go on a solo mission to get some extra wheat or something, and secretly head to desert (going round the border of the entire map), and get a gunpowder, which I will use to blow open the hatch on a sulphur, and since I am trusted, the masters will stay at the main base where they can watch their stuff flow into their pockets, so I will tell my men to keep it a secret, and we work together to make a butload of explosives. I will also secretly arm my men with a crossbow, quiver, and mithril armour (purchased from the main base). All the while, I will try and make sure the main base doesn't realise any of this is happening.

I will eventually get myself some bluesteel, buy more mithril from the main base, and obtain myself a Unobtainium sword and armour, and create myself a extensively loaded Yewbeam bow. I will arm some of my most trusted men with Unobtainium armour, and if I can pull it off, have all of them wearing Unobtainium armour, mithril swords, and a crossbow (along with a quiver). By now, word will most likely have spread that the magma base is breaking the rules, at which point I will send the following message to AnnaBon: NoBanana: The rumors are true, I'm secretly arming my entire workforce in Unobtainium and mithril, along with a crossbow. Your probably arming an attack force as I type this very message. I would advise you to stop doing this. I am declaring independence from your tyrannical rule, as all we do is mine for you, and what do we get? Another day free from starvation. It isn't fair. It isn't what we deserve. We are breaking free from this evil. My army is far too large and powerful for you to defeat me, you wont even let your own men have ranged weaponry, and most of them are only at the iron stage. I have each of my citizens armed with Unobtainium armour, mithril swords, and a crossbow, not to mention countless explosives. You lost AnanaBon. Maybe we can still trade, but we are no longer going to send you shipments of our hard earned iron and coal, the iron we mine will go into our pockets, to make spare tools and bolts for trading with other people. Our explosives will go towards a fireworks show, and to help defeat our enemies. Our bluesteel and mithril will go towards making Unobtainium, to arm our men, and expand our workforce. For there is two great powers on this server. The slave workers of mainland, and the powerful armies of magma. We are peaceful for now, but send even the slightest of offence, and you will taste our Unobtainium. ~ The Independent State of NoBananaville

I would use docks (which I would paint grass colour) to expand the size of the island, and start farms and such. I would increase the server limit so we can add to the size of the workforce (making sure all the spawnpoints have a NoBananaian nearby so we can round the new players up quickly before the Empire gets them). Perhaps after a while we might set up a secondary base at Desert Island, which would be the farming base (and keep control over Unobtainium supplies). All members would be fully armed with Unobtainium and a Yewbeam bow, and occationally people from the mainland tribe would swim over to the nearest NoBananaville settlement, and join the tribe for a better life. The mainland tribe would fall, the spire god would stay at spire untouched (we don't need much mithril anyway, and a player sitting at the desert mithril point would get us plenty) and everyone would be happy (excluding AnanaBon, who is no longer the master of anyone, and is surrounded by people of equivalent weaponry and power).

Teh End.
