I believe that would be the NAP.

RHY had and agreement with SKB.
ABSA attacked RHY troops after an agreement was made.
What is to stop ABSA from attacking RHY troops when it suits them after this agreement?

I think you are unclear in what you have written - to pick on one point, Absa is the only Consone member that is a party to this agreement and they have not negotiated on behalf of Consone. There is no suggestion that anything is settled between H? and VIC, or Dlord and WE, or any other conflict.
If you agree with that, then which promise are you worried about?

Oh cool, so H? and Consone can all go home peacefully now? Since this supposedly burgeoned up out of the RHY/Absa/SkB thing I fail to see why the rest should continue. Of course that hasn't stopped Curse declaring war on WE (not Consone) because DLords asked them, but that's another thing entirely.

I didn't quite get that impression from my initial reading of it. That actually seems like a problem with the document -- that there is some wiggle-room for interpretation. I assume the part that makes you think they'll keep fighting is this part:
Jorcle wrote:
2. NAPAs a mechanism to avoid unnecessary conflict. The NAP will be instituted once current hostilities between our respective allies allow. |
That part does make it seem like the whole agreement is fluff, since I don't see why the actions of allies will inhibit or modify their own behaviors. Better to get the NAP in place and set a good example for all parties involved. I assume the reasoning behind this is the dubious and limited implementation of diplomacy mechanics. That is, signing a NAP doesn't prevent military actions in progress from ceasing, so I guess it might be against certain parties' (the defenders') best interests if there are already troops on the move. In theory though, new offensive actions should cease and attacks in progress should be withdrawn...or at least that's what the end of the document heavily implies (though if that's the case, I'm not sure why it isn't organized differently):
Jorcle wrote:
4. Other ConflictsThis agreement does not prohibit the alliances here agreed from aiding their allies in other conflicts. However on no account will the alliances here agreed attack or assist in attacks against each other's cities. |
If you attach a particular meaning to this section involving "other conflicts" then I suppose you could argue that this isn't a peace agreement at all, since it provides no provisions for resolving the current conflict. In fact, even though I started typing this with the intent to refute GNT's perspective of this document, now that I've reached the end of my post, I suspect it might be quite accurate. It's good to know that there will be some terms in place to help avoid this sort of conflict in the future...but that doesn't do a whole lot of good for resolving the conflict here in the present.
