Fix #509: Add trust decay and conflict mechanics to Tower Game

- Increased trust decay rate from -0.001 to -0.005/tick (variable by level)
- Implemented confront action with real consequences based on trust level
- Added trust decrease for wrong actions (tending fire in wrong room, etc.)
- Modified NPC behavior to change based on trust levels (Marcus, Bezalel)
- Added trust crisis system when relationships drop below -0.5
- Created test suite verifying all acceptance criteria
- Added comprehensive README documenting new mechanics

Acceptance criteria met:
✓ Trust decreases through wrong actions
✓ At least one character reaches negative trust during gameplay
✓ Low trust changes NPC behavior
✓ Confront action has real consequences

+# Tower Game — Trust and Conflict Mechanics
+
+A narrative emergence game with real consequences. Trust must be maintained or it decays. Conflict has real impact on relationships.
+
+## New Features (Issue #509)
+
+### Trust Decay
+- Trust naturally decays over time at different rates based on current level
+- High trust (>0.5): decays slowly (0.003/tick)
+- Medium trust (0-0.5): decays normally (0.005/tick)  
+- Negative trust (<0): decays faster (0.008/tick) — harder to maintain
+- Ignoring someone for extended periods causes additional trust decay
+
+### Confront Action
+- Real consequences based on current trust level
+- **High trust (>0.5)**: Productive confrontation, small trust loss (-0.05 to -0.15)
+- **Medium trust (0-0.5)**: Risky confrontation, moderate trust loss (-0.1 to -0.3)
+- **Negative trust (<0)**: Hostile confrontation, large trust loss (-0.2 to -0.4)
+- Creates "trust crisis" when relationship drops below -0.5
+
+### Wrong Action Penalties
+- Performing actions in wrong rooms decreases trust with witnesses
+- Tending fire outside Forge: -0.05 trust
+- Writing rules outside Tower: -0.03 trust  
+- Planting outside Garden: -0.04 trust
+- NPCs react with confusion, concern, or raised eyebrows
+
+### NPC Behavior Changes
+NPCs now react differently based on trust level:
+- **Marcus**: Cold/silent when trust < -0.3, cautious when trust < 0.2, normal otherwise
+- **Bezalel**: Dismissive when trust < -0.2, neutral when trust < 0.3, friendly otherwise
+- Other NPCs show appropriate reactions to trust levels
+
+### Trust Crisis System
+- Global state `trust_crisis` triggers when any relationship drops below -0.5
+- Creates narrative tension and consequences
+- Affects world events and character interactions
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Met
+
+- [x] Trust decreases through wrong actions
+- [x] At least one character reaches negative trust during gameplay  
+- [x] Low trust changes NPC behavior
+- [x] Confront action has real consequences
+
+## Running the Game
+
+```bash
+cd timmy-world
+python3 game.py
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+cd timmy-world
+python3 test_trust_conflict.py
+```
+
+## File Structure
+
+- `game.py` — Main game engine with trust and conflict mechanics
+- `test_trust_conflict.py` — Tests verifying acceptance criteria
+- `README.md` — This file
+
+## Design Notes
+
+Trust is not a resource to be managed — it's a relationship to be maintained. The decay system ensures that:
+1. Trust requires active maintenance
+2. Neglect has consequences
+3. Conflict is risky but sometimes necessary
+4. Relationships can break and need repair
+5. NPC behavior reflects the quality of relationships
+
+This creates meaningful choices: do you tend the fire (productive) or confront Marcus (risky)? Do you help Bezalel (builds trust) or ignore everyone (trust decays)?
+
+The system is designed so that negative trust is possible and happens naturally through gameplay, especially through confrontations and neglect.
