I was thinking, I thought in multiplayer, you don't want to look too aggressive with your expansions? Or is it more every man for himself a la Manifest Destiny?

In MP the aim is to get as many indy provinces as quickly as possible. A war in earlygame is normally very very risky so most players avoid it unless they have a very specific early game oriented rush build like a dual bless.
So if you can get 50% more indy provinces than your opponent(s) this is already a nice advantage. In our blitzes QM normally is the fastest expander and he wins most of the blitzes too.
Ryleh can turtle and clamhoard though so with them you can try a lategame wish strat. It is very risky though because while hoarding you are vulnerable but often you can persuade your neighbors to stay at peace with you by bribing them or giving them good trades and the like. Also while hoarding you look very innocent and like a minor threat
.
I only recommend hoarding strats with vanilla, if you play CB there hoarding is only very rarely worth it...
