"Animals know there is nothing in the game rules about alliances."
Yes, from one friend to any number, all part of the game. No mention in the official objective of even having one friend, it is understood that mutually beneficial arrangements spring up.
Let us suppose everyone gangs up on me now and they take me out. They have reduced the player count by one. But they still have everyone else to fight. And the guy who starts the ganging up is the one most likely to get wiped out as well (by me).
Let us suppose they instead wait till they take a few of you out before they gang up on me. They have reduced the count by several, less competition.
Also, if you can't finish first you might be happy to see how high you can place. Or you might be a friend of me for the whole game, knowing that I may be ganged up on and have my position reduced enough for you, my friend to surpass me.
I think you are stuck in a mindset of exactly one friend, no more or less, just as some are stuck in a mindset of no war till 2450.
As for fighting for the underdog, who helped Spartins? Budgie was the #1 power, and would have been happy to have me join him. You were happy to just watch us fight it out and weaken ourselves, till you felt a danger to yourself, long term.
