MEE only applies if you are much bigger than the second place player. If you and your allies share the galaxy, then MEE won't occur.

All you have to do is play the politics game, and get everybody you can to be friends. Any races who won't ally with you and your friends, you must defeat.

The "only applies after 4 years" is totally unnecesary, since a treaty of "none" does not count for an allied victory. For an allied victory, every race must have met every other surviving race, and have a treaty of trade or better.
