We would like to propose open borders with a no-scouting agreement (no units from either team may enter foreign territory) so that we may both reap the benefits of international trade routes. We are NAP'ed to turn 100 with little incentive to declare war at that time, so we might as well take advantage of the few extra commerce.
I think we may as well have the Open Borders. We get the greatest benefit from having open borders right now, and I can't see any reason why not to do so.
Feel free to send it if you get a chance. I'm heading off to a work luncheon in a few and then a work holiday social down at a bar tonight, so may not get to it.
Also keep meaning to try to come up with something to say to Gillette about their settlement of that city on our side of the mountains, but have been able to figure out what to say yet.
