Domino surrenders won't work against TDM races; some of them have surrenders turned off.

If you're powerful enough to build ringworlds and sphearworlds, why not just build a fleet of baseships and wipe them out?

Baseships move so slow. I think i'll just build a huge fleet of APB DN's and strike planet after planet and meanwhile construct a sun destroyer to kill the systems that are hard to kill.

Just a thought: if i don't destroy the systems, i better place a spy sat in every system to see when other races start to colonize the cleaned systems. Otherwise they could just follow me around and start colonizing every system that i clean.

This is why the victory condition "3x score of 2nd player" is good to have always on.
Try the surrender. Keep trying every turn. I am sure most races will sooner or later give up (in your case this should't Last more than 10-15 turns).

As TerranC wrote, most the TDM had the options:

Will Accept From Friend Demand your surrender := False
Will Accept From Enemy Demand your surrender := False

I'm not sure if you don't know what TDM means or what TDM it's!
Will try to answer both questions.
TDM-Modpack means Tampa-Dynarr-Mephisto Modpack.
It's a Mod that has improved AIs (a lot more strong that the standard AIs), withouth change other elements in the game.
