Passifism will only ensure your lonely demise under the Rubicon juggernaut.
If you're a passifist watching the juggernaut devour some other empire, are you hoping that you can outgrow them in time? Don't be silly. After your neighbor has been absorbed the juggernaut is going to be bigger and badder than ever, and there will be no one left to help you when you're the next meal.
Start doing anything and everything you are capable of to slow the Rube advance, while there are others to assist and the outcome is yet unknown. When they get to you they will devour you regardless, and if that is sooner rather than later, at least you will be free to begin again wherein the outcome has not yet been determined. One can at least hope that the combined efforts of all will halt the juggernaut in it's tracks, and surprise surprise, you live and possibly win.
Delay, and the best you can hope for is to die last, therefore expending the maximum amount of time on a game lost from the beginning.

I wouldn't mind doing something against him Zoid, but currently your mine fields stand between him and me, and since I usually blow up whenever I find myself inside of them, I'll let the Rubi's blow up getting through rather than me blowing up to get to him. =P
The Kerans
(On a side note, I find it amusing that the Rubicon's had extended a hand of partnership out to me to fight against the Han / Zoid which I had ignored. Imagine if I accepted? *dramatic music* Coming up next on Historical Blunders, Xerox sells Windows for $38,000...)

Point taken. My "no concessions to peaceful relations" policy practiced up to this point (affecting the Kerans more than anyone save the Rubicons) may have been a crucial blunder, considering the circumstances.
I have no love for any other races, this is true, but if blowing up everyone entering the minefields has the net effect of running interference for the CA, that's not good for me either. I should have seen that myself, but I'm a simpleton.
Maybe I should be more accomodating. Maybe it's too late. You tell me.
But the point remains, if the CA goes unchecked for long, the outcome is certain. We the resistance, and all of the bystanders lose.
