Rise.

That way, you can help shape it make it last longer.

Civilization's rise! It would fun claiming to be a god just because you have a lighter with you. Spook the folks with your ability to call forth from your magic cylinder.

If it's in the context of very ancient or primitive civilizations, you could just make alcohol and pretend to burn water. Behold! Obey me or I shall burn your seas and rivers!

I'd just as soon it be on the rise unless I was in a secure leadership position that was in opposition to the main institution of the civilization, then I say bring that baby down. That way I can make my own civilization.

I'd like to be in a post apocalyptic kind of timezone...no rules, most people dead, and a new society to build...so does that count as rise or decline?

Rye, that's a slow rise.
Personally I'd like to be right at the cusp, tangent zero, where things begin to go down hill, and everyone is too rich too care.
