Keeping Rigel and reducing the garrison does not solve the problem, because you could still land units there later. Changing the password also does nothing, because you could just give it to someone later. You might have no choice, like if you have to leave town or some RL issue comes up.
Also, more importantly, Rigel will choke Archenar and Kongo and Saber with culture, so we must insist on all three Anjennida cities.
However, as an additional compromise, we can drop the probationary period from the treaty. So as soon as you accept and gift us all three Anjennida cities, full tech sharing will resume, and you can run the sliders at whatever you want, with no probationary period whatsoever.
Hopefully we now have a deal and I will send you the amended treaty with these terms.

I talked to the mods about changing the password. That way only I will be able to log in. I would greatly reduce units on Anjennida so as only a single MG would be in each city. I mostly want to keep Rigel and would give the other two.
I find it interesting that I was thinking the same thing in regards to Quat so I have no problem giving them all the cities. I also agree to the other terms.

Greetings AlphaShard of Sirius,
As you can see, the team has agreed to reduce our demands considerably as a good faith effort to give us all a chance to pursue a peaceful victory. But you must understand, that after Sirius backstabbed Q, we just cant trust Sirius to share a landmass with us. The way your Anjennida cities culture presses against our Anjennida cities exposes us to a sneak attack, and we can not just trust Sirius carte-blanche after they betrayed the alliance.
Another concern, is that General Blubmuz could return at any time and take over to sneak attack us, and we know that he does not honor treaties. So we must protect ourselves by insisting that Sirius leaves Anjennida entirely.
I must be candid and admit to you that Anjennida is lost to you regardless. Our Armies are already in position, and would have captured all of Anjennida in less than 5 turns. You just don't have the capacity to get enough forces to Anjennida to keep it.
At least this way, you get the peace treaty you want and an excellent chance at winning a peaceful victory. Even without Anjennida or Comet, you still have Bode and Mavs Home Island with all those Wonders. You will be the only team that completely controls 2 Home Islands with all the resources that gives. Sirius will be in great shape to go for the win.
Also, for peace to work, Q must have a legitimate chance to pursue a peaceful victory as well. You must realize that giving them a couple underdeveloped cities on Comet does not accomplish this. Q needs their own landmass to develop just like the other 3 teams have.
So here are AMAZON's amended peace terms:
1. Sirius must agree to re-enter the ETTT with full tech sharing
2. There will be a probationary period of 30 Turns, where no one in the ETTT will give Sirius any tech, but Sirius will be obligated to share all tech. After the 30 turns period ends, and Sirius good-faith has been proven, then Sirius will get all tech from the ETTT allies. During the probation period, Sirius must run their tech slider as high as possible. Sirius may not run sliders on culture or espionage.
3. Sirius will gift all cities on Anjennida to AMAZON
4. Sirius will gift all cities on Comet to Quatronia
5. Sirius will sign a NAP with all civs for 50 turns. The NAP requires Sirius to abide by the terms of this treaty, as well as the ETTT.
We await your response to our proposal so the race to peaceful victory can begin.
Sommerswerd of AMAZON
