I agree with Dreylin.

EDIT: We might also want to question why, if they thought we had a de-facto Cease fire, they didn't run screaming to us when we moved our stack outseide Jericho, but waited until after we had taken it!

I think we all know the real reason, which is that they are full of crap. Perhaps with a touch of they thought they could take Pink Dot, which they now realize is hopeless.

At some point we have to mention Pope Clement V to them....

If Templars are half-brained and read the civstats correctly, they must get really scared.

The only answer we should give would be to clarify the cease fire illusion. Other stuff should just be designed to get back funny posts from Templars.
In general my attitude towards them is like this:

[Dreylin]

So I think the current draft is:

Dear Templars,

We would like to state that we had made no agreement with Sir Aidun about a de-facto ceasefire. Stating that we broke such an agreement is untrue and unfair. Please ask him for transcripts of the pms between us to confirm this.

You wrote:

"We recognised that a war between us 3 would hand the game to PaL. We thought you would grasp that fact and offer a reasonable settlement, that would allow us Templars and indeed Imperio, hope for the future." (my bold)

This assumes that we have acted unreasonably: reneged on tech deals, declared war, etc. We did no such thing. There was no peace-time discussion with our team about how we could form a mutual alliance to guarantee all our futures against the runaway train that is PAL: you & Imperio militarized and plunged our island into war, and then accused us of being unreasonable! Team RB is not the one who needs to 'offer a reasonable settlement': that onus lies with Imperio & Templars. Proposing that we hand over Cape Town, our only source of Copper & Horses, to Imperio is utterly unreasonable.

We remain open to any reasonable proposals you may have, but the war will continue until a peace deal is agreed & accepted.

We should probably try to send this to them before the end of ... OMG, Templars have ended their turn!?!?!?

[dsplaisted]

Looks great to me, I think we should send it (the message in post 1116).

[Swiss Pauli]

In light of recent events (i.e. Imperio talking to us), I think we should keep it to the bare bones:

Sounds good.

[sooooo]

Fine by me.

[darrelljs]

Fine by me too.

[MyOtherCar]

Sounds good to me too, but I can't help but wonder what the game (and therefore a peace-deal) still has to offer them.

[dsplaisted]

Let's go ahead and send the message in post 1118.
