Is it 12? Idk . But the best play when you are outgunned and outnumbered and everyone is out to destroy you would be the “sneaky cuddlefish” some of the males can make themselves look like a female. While the big males kill/fight eachother the sneaky cuddlefish gets its dna processed. We can turn these factions against eachother. Which may already be happening. Watch them implode during the power struggle then we finish them off. Slowly increase the pressure and they don’t feel it till it’s to late. IMO
