Parallel Fractional Go Game 4

I’m happy to communicate especially about general strategy but of course I might want to be secretive about some of the details or leave it as a bit of a puzzle depending on the situation.

In the previous games I’ve had trouble making living shapes, and since we have four opponents in this game, our chains now each need five eyes to be truly alive, making it even more difficult. For a normal Go game with two-eyed groups we have Five Groups Might Live But The Sixth Will Die. So maybe in this game each color should expect at most two five-eyed groups?

(In game 1 I think pink had three groups.)

Anyway, to build my pink group more efficiently, I’m teaming up with @Gooplet in the lower-left. That also has the advantage of discouraging Team White from attacking the pink chains, but for it to be effective I’ll have to connect up to my teammates while blocking connections to nearby white stones too.
