Victory Conditions: original rules say "Player vote".
I think that there is a clear winner, and I am willing to vote for the player (technically a team but much more one player than the other) that rolled over most of my planets, after taking out my ally.
But if any player votes against, and thinks that they have a chance, then I will stay in the game until the very end (which granted may not be too long for me...) and fight as much as possible...
Foodfight!!!
Food is for eating? Since when?

I guess my vote wouldn't count. Of course I could tell everybody here that after this game I am going to buy a new computer and explore some of the latest games (WoW and others)... So in that sense, a victory that would be very nice. However, those who are not really convinced actually have a point. Why?
Well, in Winter's Tale, you can have only one ally in the sense of player relations, tech trade, and private messaging. However, there is no rule against using this forum to make declarations in general. As in "LET US GANG UP!" In a 9 vs 2 battle, you would have a chance, I guess. The Vincibles, Atari and also Foodfight could just try hand over all planets to the rest in the north - keeping them would not help. Now there are 2 SD's and one 1 SS there. That's for an enourmous amount of mine laying (SD) and sweeping (SS) fleets to make our lives miserable. This doesn't cost much resources, so you can put most of it on research. My expectation is that by 2500, the Muppets and Snakes will be all beaten up, but not fully out yet. They would still be making tachyons for example and warning everybody for any major stealth fleets coming in. By then the 2 other major alliances should have researched C26/W26 themselves and start counter designing ours. So it would become some kind of race: Plasmatics, P-Elastica, Zerg, Apples going for tech, Muppet and Snakes doing their defensive act, the rest just make the ultimate sacrifice... And us "southeast" going trying to collect 180 planets.
Well that would be my thought if I were in the north now  We will have some 1000 nubs in 2500, so that might make things a little hard. But if you would all stick to cruisers and battleships, there is no chance at all. We have 132 planets now and more after today's update. That's approaching half of the planet count and way more important, half of all minerals available in the universe...
Anyway: I leave it up to you and I'm happy with either vote! But if you vote for "NO VICTORY YET", then plz everybody join forces now, otherwise there will be no challange for us at all.

@Purple: I expect asymetric tactics from you
That means: I expect that you'll try to turn the fight into a laying/sweeping fest, in the meantime avoiding any main battle fleets, and building one big BB+chaff fleet that you're going to keep in reserve for now. If I'm not splitting up, progress will be slow. If I do split up, you'll get a chance to catch a lesser group of nubians with the full fleet, gating yours suddenly. Something like that. You're probably going to packet attack any planets we capture to keep us from setting up gates, and emphasising minelaying in that no-men's land between us to hinder reinforments.
For us, warp10 engines and stealth are useless against you, so we're going for cheap mizer obvious brute force instead.
In general, we have considered the possibility of you attacking us during the whole game and tried to keep your return on investment look as low as possible by being totally non-agressive and laying oversized minefields from about 2408 on. We guess that the whole "gang of races in the north-east" consist of good players, so having that fight amongst them was extremely convenient for us.

I have to agree with the Snakes, we can't just change the game's rules because one or two races are kicking butt. Bulkane (Jr or Sr can't tell which) has played very well taking advantage of opportunites and making accurate assumptions. Again as miserable as it makes me I must agree with the Snakes again; the P-P alliance had many advantages which the S-M alliance neutralized several times. We all saw the dark Bulkane cloud growing in the SE, but none were free to take action, and none were able to grow fast enough to keep pace. Yes we bogged down in a contentious border war, and had many fine and not so fine battles.
Our default plan is always to fight for every last inch of scorched earth. That said we will vote with the majority. For now we are loading our pea shooters and plan to aim for the eyes.
