Adjudication on a NAP -edited please comment again

[Ironhawk]

Yeah I dont consider this NAP to be binding. Sombre makes a good point that if he was willing for a 3-turn, it makes logical sense that he would probably accept a 2-turn. But the key word is probably. You cant know with complete assurance what someone else is thinking unless they tell you explicitly. So if you recieved no message of the nature "I agree to these terms" then there is no agreement.

Yep, I generally don't consider an agreement reached unless one party accepts a proposal from the other without modification.

By the same logic, if he was willing for a 3-turn and you proposed a 5-turn he "probably" would accept as well. However, a Nap2, Nap3 and Nap5 are completelly diferent kind of diplomatical agreements, and sometimes you want to accept a Nap3, but you wont accept a Nap5 or Nap2.

I think this nap is not binding as well

No agreement, no NAP.

I can see his thinking there was, though. He made a proposal, you gave a counterproposal he found acceptable and he went with it. He just goofed in not telling you it was accepted.
