Minister of (Dis)Order
After reviewing the draft KISS sent back i have add 2 points that were discussed that insures we can't be left without half the techs if the agreement is suddenly cancelled. Also i have added Chivalry to be researched by us. I examined the relative tech values and the amount KISS would be researching is greater than ours, even including Chivalry our researched techs would be 324 to their 348, which is why i left the research paths as they are as they a researching half a tech more than us. Also KISS have so far kept their word in the game so i believe they can be trusted. In the hope that KISS will accept the revisions without alteration i will start a poll whether to accept the agreement or not so we can get a head start as monarchy will be completed in 5 turns. The poll will run for 4 days.

Draft proposal for The Simpsons Protocols
Within this treaty teams KISS and Doughnuts will be known as The Quick, while teams MIA and TNT will be known as The Dead
Military
-Peaceful relations are guaranteed between The Quick for the duration of this agreement.
-If one of The Quick is in a war it is not required that the other alliance member join in. However, if a 2nd team joins the enemy of an alliance member (2 on 1) then we shall join forces (within 5 turns) together to fight both teams. With "join forces" we mean an in-game declaration of war on the enemies of the alliance
-During the period of hostilities both parties would have a Right of Passage through the others territory. Any movement through each other's territory will be announced, including force composition, proposed path and ultimate destination. There would also be cooperation in military strategy.
-The Quick must seek permission to enter each others land borders. Sea borders can be entered without permission, however naval units must continue their movement with each turn unless permission is requested and received.
-Cooperation in the gathering of intelligence
Technology and Trading
-Cooperation in the advancement of technological research. By researching different technologies at the same time we can double the efficiency of our research.
-Technologies will be researched as such to maintain an equality of trade value.
-Technologies that are researched during this period may be exchanged with another nation as long as both parties consent to this. Any technology gained in return would be shared by both parties.
-Trade in luxuries and resources can be negotiated on an individual basis once a trade route is established
-Neither of The Quick may enter an agreement with any of The Dead that would adversely affect any of the conditions of this agreement.
-Technologies will be traded as each one is researched
Termination of the treaty
-Once the technologies outlined in the Nut and Bolt tech tree attached in this mail have been discovered and exchanged, the deal can be renegotiated. That means all techs except the ones crossed over while Chivalry is optional.
-Any amendments to the treaty must be agreed to by both parties for it to take effect.
-If one of The Quick feels wronged by the other in reference to this agreement, and the wrong doing is confirmed by administrators, they are free to declare a one-sided termination of the agreement. This can apply to various parts, or the whole agreement.
-If the agreement is cancelled before the agreed time, any technologies currently being researched must be completed and traded
