That's enough doom thinking for today!

Unfortunately that fits with my thoughts.
While trying to think of a way to not only sit aside and see one of the elders winning, here a wild strat:
Not waiting for BBs and Jihads but massproducing
* baz- or col-CCs
* sapper-CCs
* FFs to explode minefields
* bombers
and gating them to the nearest gate of one of the elders and going straight for the HW.
Actually such a strat isn't very wild and might be even tried by the Elders vs each other.
The tech we could have rather soon, much sooner than the needed ironium. It's a pity that all of us have taken OBRM.

Mmmh, actually no and yes.
It would had been my first choice to NAP the Centauri/Shadows but look at my message exchange with both of them... they aren't interested. And then there is the lurking question: could we trust in any treaty with the Shadows or their allies?
