A Betrayal of Pride: Should I feel bad?

Just as the orange fleet is about to hit he sends me a message, warning me of the fleets approach and apologising for inadvertently sending it in my direction. He then offers the system back once the fleet has moved on. This sends me into a guilt spin. I had intended to betray him, but he obviously trusts me!

The two super powers stand waiting for me to attack.

I decide I will attack Pink instead, sod my plan, Orange is my ally and he doesn’t deserve betrayal.

I begin moving my fleets south ready to strike at Pink. Then I receive a message. Pink tells me he is going to attack Orange at Albali and that he has amassed a large fleet in preparation. He then asks me when I am going to be ready to strike as we ‘have to be quick otherwise orange will become too large for us to handle.’ It is then remember all the things Pink has done for me throughout this game, he is a good ally too.

I decide I will attack orange instead. I am coming second no matter what I do.

Then Orange sends me some scanning and manufacturing tech and begins planning our joint strike. So I tell him of Pink’s intended attack, for which he thanks me sincerely.

Maybe I should attack pink.

Or Orange.

I DON’T KNOW!

The galaxy... awaiting my betrayal... am
I hamming it up enough yet?

I flip and flop for hours. Neptune’s Pride constructs betrayal; it seems to be written in its core. But I can’t do it. These two strangers have been very generous and trusting. They have helped me and I have helped them in turn. They believe I am on their side. Even though I don’t know them, even though it has no bearing on my life, I find I can’t attack either of them. It just fells wrong. I mean physically, I get that tightness in my chest that comes with nerves. I agonise over this decision, over this game. I still don’t know what I am going to do…
