Ranoake - you make good points which I have acknowledged in this thread already. As a result, I was offering to ally with people who are willing to be reliable hitters.

Theoretically, I could complain if I lost MVP (forum's partly for venting after all), but I decided that is an inefficient action. Better to request and try to make a deal rather than whine.

People (well, non-allies) have every right to grab my MVP if they can. The most obvious - but inefficient - defense is to simply throw on extra cubes before seeding. That does not satisfy my own desire for efficiency. A more efficient defense against MVP-stealing is to build allies who, together, do enough damage such that an MVP is now impossible to outsiders.
