Wow! This is excellent! 

A word of caution though: Just because we have stated that we consider a NAP to be in effect does not equal that UCiv thinks the same. We need their confirmation before a NAP is truly in place.
Hi, Yuufo/UniversCiv,
We would like to sign our Non-Aggression Pact (no one will declare war to the other side) until turn 140 including and we would like to finalize the border agreement that goes with it. Taking in consideration your desire to have a city to claim the Elephants, we are proposing you possible solution where you can have the Elephants in a city BFC and we to settle a city to claim our marble south of the mountains.
You will choose to place a city on either tile marked with 1 or 2 near the mountains:
MM===
MeM1=
M=M==
=M2==
Once you agree with the NAP and the city settling agreement that goes with it, please confirm and we consider our NAP in effect.

If they suggest another location that does not interfere with the MArble, I think we should be ready to accept, as the NAP is more critical at this point I think.Hi, Yuufo/UniversCiv,
As promised, here is our Non-Aggression Pact that went into effect on turn 108:
Neither of us will declare war on the other until turn 140, and we will both abide by the border agreement, with the exception that UCiv gets to settle to claim the Elephant and CFC gets to settle to claim the Marble.
As for the details of where to settle, taking in consideration your desire to have a city to claim the Elephants, we are proposing you possible solution where you can have the Elephants in a city BFC and we to settle a city to claim our Marble south of the mountains.
Here is where we would like you to place your city to claim the Elephants so that it does not interfere with us claiming the Marble. M=Mountain, e=Elephant, and 1=Your City.

Please confirm that you agree with the settling agreement and the NAP.

Which is why I prefer just not telling them where to settle, but instead just asking them to confirm the NAP and settle where they want. Can we claim/defend the Marble spot while in a defensive posture with Spaniards anyway? Because if we can, maybe the way to go is to just claim the Marble spot now, to end this issue.I've got a really bad feeling that this is their delaying tactic, making us think we're going to get that NAP, only to have them pull out at the last minute because they don't like the locations we're giving them permission to settle. That spike in power is alarming, and I do think we're going to see those units coming down our way. You don't whip units like that unless you're building a big force to use before the victim notices the power increase.
Whatever we do, we need to make it extremely easy for them to say yes to us, and we need to give them a short timeframe (before this turn is up) to confirm the NAP. No more back-and-forth negotiations.
