I was going to check this myself, but I did not found the thread with the details and could not enter our gmail, so I was going to ask for a clarification, but I though those two messages you said was from 5 days ago.
The fighting took place around those 5 days, so either they sent them after they saw Q is strong enough to defend effectively, and just then they proposed this 10-turns peace, or Sirius indeed proposed peace, but Q attacked them anyway.
have Q accepted the peace deal or not?
Not as far as I can tell from the last turn. If those messages are 5 days old, it means that it was not accepted.
Personally I dont think someone will declare war at his own - to me this is absolute lie - how it is possible that their turnplayer which they refer to as "someone" even not saying his name - will de so away from the game, so that he will declare war at his own decission. Even more - I received in-game message saying "We declared war to Q. We cant wait any more. I am sure you will understand" Understand what?
About the peace treaty they offered Q, I think they either never offered it, or Q dont think it is good to take it.
I think the things went as follows:
- Sirius wants to use the momentum when Q army was destroyed and they have more army than them, and we have still about 10-15 turns of the SAP NAP and attack where it seems a weak spot
- Q manages to defend or attacks Sirius with hidden stack, inflicting them more damage
- Sirius sees that Q are not gonna die without a fight
- We are still not attacking MHI and our almost as strong as the whole Sirius army stays loaded in galleons just 3-4 turns away from Sirius Home Island.
-CDZ gives Q technology and Q starts to slave machine guns
So at this point Sirius have 2 problems - much tougher enemy that they though and an ally, who very soon is not going to be bind in NAP with them with strong army just seemingly waiting something. There two things combined sounded the alarm at Sirius and they decided to sound the retreat, as they dont know what might happen.
One thing I dont understand right now - how Sirius expect the other teams and Q will treat them when they broke the ETTT agreement? How the other will make deals with them when they know they broke their word once? And I am not talking about trying to find a back doors in the meaning of words or use tricks and politics in the shadow side of the law. They outright declared war to an actual ally. It was funny how they told us - it was just small skirmish." Skirmish? You declared war to an ally! It does not matter what damage is done to either sides. It is matter of principle. If they can call this just a "skirmish" it indicates how loose they look at such fundamental concepts as "ally". They lie about something. And they lie because they need to lie. Something is not right with them.
To be clear - I did not saw any ships damaged, neither I saw troops wounded - I made a guess that this is small scale sea battle, exactly because I did not saw any Sirius troops passing by land to Q territory, so if there was fight, it had to be in the sea. Also, it was small indication on the power graph - just like the ships show small on the graph.
