What's the Worst that could happen?

Yes! Fear the papercut!

And the really rude words in the message. I've never seen such language!

Well in the Invasion! Official 0.41 game I had closed all but one of the warp points to my territory so I started to grow week on updating defenses because I thought I was fiarly safe but then one day Sivran the Space Monster opened 3 warp points into 3 of my home systems. I lost 5/10 homeworlds and countless colonies before with the help of 2 large allies I was able to beat him back. He even killed the colony on my ringworld

Then there were the CarrierBattles games I played against SJ where all of my plans were usually excecuted 1 turn to late and on multiple occasions he destroyed whole fleets of my ships without me giving much of a fight.

And at least once, you were only half a turn too late, CW.

Both of his carriers were in the sector for the combat, but they hadn't yet regrouped. One started in the middle, and one started on the edge of the combat map, while my carrier + ships came through the warppoint and were able to fight the defenders one at a time.
