Anti-climax

Last night I had two messages, one from green, one from red. They both said basically the same thing. I'm your buddy, I'm happy to come in second place. If I believed them (which I did once I saw them attack each other), a person with no morals would think this would be the perfect solution to my problem of getting my last few stars. It meant that I had a team mate to help me get my last few stars and to allow one of them to come in a healthy second place.

Unfortunately, I do have morals. So, to have two people both perfectly content to have second place and both trusting me. I had to make my decision to attack one of them. I feel like my insides are twisting. How strange, I've never even met these people before! I felt like I had to have both of them on my side, so that they wouldn't be on each others side and turn around and attack me. This just makes it all the more worse.

So like I said in my last post, I wanted red to come second place. As of last night, he had already nudged into second place without me but I needed some more stars and he needed me to secure his second before green took them back. So I set my biggest fleets on autopilot last night to delve into the heart of green territory.

This morning, I get two messages. The first is from red saying that he's Ok with the stars I'm going to be taking. The second is from green saying something like "well you're attacking me, well done you, I have my ships on autopilot but I'm conceding". Twist that knife a little bit more please Neptune's Pride.

I'll be happy when this is all over now. I hope I win by today. I'm spent with this game now. 2 games has been plenty for me and I think I've had enough. I wont be on much again today so I hope my autopilot ships do well enough without me to enable a win by this evening. I'm on 99 stars out of 111 at the time of writing.

Stay tuned for the finale tonight or tomorrow morning...
