What do you mean by "those units?" The Zerks being built and shuffled towards M3's border, the chariots, or something else?
Again, all we need is a couple turns--any idea when Trolls' golden age will end? Actually, I think that will be in the log--if they don't switch to Nationhood before the Golden Age ends that's another turn, and regardless it's fewer turns in Bureaucracy if they haven't gotten Gunpowder yet 
As far as the email goes, I'm not sure we want to specifically mention a longer NAP, but I don't know what else to say--I just don't want this to be the last communication, and I think proposing longer might do that--if they say "okay, let's go to T220", what do we say? We can't really say "go longer" without giving a specific date, and that locks us in. What kind of negotiations are left, without saying something like "give us two cities, including the Pyramids" or the like?

These are the units I was thinking about playing visible zone defence.
On the email to Trolls - all I want is to put them off for another couple of turns, and you're right - giving a specific date is a bad idea, if they say 220 I think we stay quiet for a while and then say "No! JIHAD!"
Would you change that text in any other way?

This from TEAM:
"How is the war with 3m going?"
I think we should say:
"Don't worry, this isn't going to adversely affect our attack on Trolls."

I think that answer to TEAM sounds perfect.
I checked our mail and the message to Troll is in the sent folder, so looks like it worked. Also, this just came in from M3

Hooray, I actually logged into the gmail account--when your prey sends you a PM telling you to check your email, you kinda have to:
Quote:Hi Old Harry,
Let's make it NAP until T200 then. Do we've a deal? Since T140 is very close this deal is only valid until you play your next turn so please hurry up with response.

How rude would not replying at all be?
Or maybe "sorry we're a bit torn over what this deal means, you're getting close to running away with the game so we need to come up with a counter offer that gives us a chance, but its a bad week as Harry is in very intermittent contact. " but written in your style?
