How about sending something like this to buster? IMO we have nothing to lose anymore, so it's worth the try.
Hello buster,
It is becoming more and more obvious that the CPU has no chance at all anymore to win this game. Therefore I recently started a thread in the CyCon private forum to ask what should be our goals for the remainder of this ACDG. This came out of it:
1> Survive as long as possible.
Just for the heck of it.
2> Focus more on roleplay.
That way the game could at least remain somewhat fun for us - being slaughtered for the next few months won't be.
3> Hurt the Hive as much as we can.
We haven't been able to cooperate with you as much as we would have liked to, but at least you haven't been lying to us from the moment we met. The Hive has. And as you may have noticed in the ACDG general forum, they're now busy inventing fictitious reasons to attack us in the near future. Therefore, though we realize we ourselves can't win anymore, we'd still like to try and deny the Hive victory in this game. As a consequence I was wondering if you wouldn't be interested in a solo victory? Surely that must be more appealing than a two-way-draw with the Hive? It could be done by us uniting behind you as Supreme Leader, or some other way - I'm certain something can be found if you're interested. We'd both gain by this. You win the game with a solo victory, and we still get satisfaction from repaying the Hive for the crimes they did to us.
I hope to hear from you soon about this,
Someone (perhaps better not me - who knows he's pissed off at me because he gave me some info while he thought I was a pirate)
We could also perhaps offer a submissive pact or something? Lots of options I'd say.
I've put the time limit on four days. That way we'll hopefully know whether we should send it around the time the turn arrives at busters.

I dont think sending this is a good idea right now. I know I didnt join this game to loose or surrender. What we need to do is go on an emergency status.
What I would do next, is build PB ASAP and start to question Hives credibility publicly by stating that it in fact was them that got us to attack PEACE in the first place. We wouldnt be lying because maybe we wouldnt have attacked if Hive would simply said no, we disagree, we will assist PEACE. In fact Hive has been helping us very much in our offensive by providing intel etc. Now we can question if this was just a part of a larger plot to make us look like vandals giving Hive the noble task of bringing peace and stability to the planet by turning against us.
Lets hint Drones that they might be the next target. Lets try to convince them that its better with us. We should bring the heat on the Hive. Obviously Voltaire has already made his mind about attacking us. Now we need credible defence and weakened enemy. Divide et impera.

It's fifty-fifty on whether or not to send the message, so how about this shorter and weakened down message? We aren't making any fixed promises in this version, or making any promise of a submissive pact. So we can still change our minds later depending on circumstances But we're still giving a hint, and who knows it could affect their foreign affairs policy into not attacking us too when the Hive does.
Hi buster,
CPU wishes no war with the Hive or the Drones. However with their recent Council motion it seems the Hive intends to declare war on CPU soon.  If that happens, any small chance that CPU could still win this game of course disappears. We have had some discussions within the CPU about what to do then. We have decided that under the circumstances described above we would support a Drone solo victory. We wouldn't win then, but the Hive who declared war on us wouldn't either. I thought you would be interested to know this. Would you be interested in a solo victory?

Within 5 turns our defenses in PUT should be strong enough to quel a direct attack on PUT land (Maniac what was the name of that area again? Capitalize it on the map please). But an attack of both factions at once we cannot stop ATM, that is true. Give me more ships, planes, garrisons, AC's and CC's.  ... Please...

It can still be a big bluff so that they can keep their promises to PEACE, and they dare doing nothing even if we take PEACE out completely. In the 'PEACE message' thread most of the Hive members posting didn't seem to care whether PEACE was eliminated or not, as long as Hive interests were secure. Damn, I'm starting to think that I should have ordered our probe foil to mindcontrol that PEACE Laser Foil anyway, and attack the last schooner and transport.
Something else. Hive wants us to stop this war, but they will happily continue with theirs. If they have the right to demand us to stop, why can't we demand the same? If they take Angel land bases, they're automatically within our 'sphere of influence'. I therefore propose to disalllow them to take Angel landbases explitily
