A Betrayal of Pride: I am terrible

I’m the worst the person ever! It is clear I am attacking no-one, my ship count is only ever getting bigger and none of my systems have been taken. An observant player will see I am sharing techs with both of them. It is too much, I can’t take the guilt but I can’t attack them either. I don’t know what to do. I am agonising over what to do. I have lost fucking sleeping agonising about what to do.

Every agonising decision plays out in real time... sooooo slowly.
Pink tells me to commence my attack, because the tide is turning. Pink has made some progress into Orange’s territory, but attrition is beginning to take it’s toll. Orange has gathered his fleets and is slowly pushing Pink back. Bit by bit. His economy and industry are just too strong. Soon Pink’s front line will collapse and Orange will sweep his enemy’s empire away as easy as toppling the pieces on a chess board. So I tell Pink that I have already attacked orange, but was beaten back by large fleets. I tell Orange the same story. They must know; it is so obvious.

Pink's attack stalls almost instantly. Note Orange striking
cleverly to the left, away from the front lines.

And now I can’t take it anymore, I have to tell them.
