Great! Glad to have the NAP signed.
As for your question about the German team - unfortunately our NAP with them is much too long for our liking. We signed it with them very early, and it runs until T150. Believe me, there's no way I would have agreed to it if I had any idea how slow they would be on turns, but unfortunately a deal is a deal (the length was their idea). If it's any consolation to you, they will almost certainly not be getting a NAP extension from us. To answer your last question honestly, I do believe your idea would have been great for the good of this game were we not bound to the NAP. You have my genuine apologies for being stuck with such a long NAP with your enemy. We actually signed that NAP before we even met your team.
I guess we can just hope that the German team will play quicker, and as a result T150 will come quickly. Your plan to aim for catapults sounds like a very good idea, so I hope it works out for your team. I'm not sure of what we can do for you right now off the top of my head, but if you think of a way we can be of use to you, please let me know!
Thanks,

I was talking about this with my team, and I think it may be a good idea for us to arrange a chat. I'm not sure what timezone you are in, so that may be an issue. I am on the east cost of the US: GMT -5. Anytime in the evenings for me is great. If you're on European time, I could probably do early evening for me which would hopefully not be too late at night for you. Would sometime tonight (Monday) work?
To set the agenda, I'd like us to discuss:
1) basic NAP agreement - we're flexible on this, so I'd like to hear what it is you want
2) basic border agreement - there is not much land between us now, and it's not very desirable land. I think we would both be wise to consider an agreement so we can both focus on settling in different directions
3) Open Borders
If you can let me know quickly - especially if tonight would work, that'd be great.
Thanks!
