Look, there's a few basic rules to working out a truce:
1 ) If it's with anyone who demands that you guess their name to undo it, don't.
2 ) Poker rules apply- if they have the name of a state, or the word "doc" in their name. don't bargain. "Doc Arizona" is a con man's name.
3 ) Look a man in the eye, son.
4 ) Make sure that there's an obvious reward- a gift basket, or coupons.
5 ) Be realistic to the map. If your truce is not true to history, the game might go wrong. The mods can step in.
6 ) Keep everyone informed about your truce. Friends, loved ones... pretty much everyone you can think of.
7 ) At the start of the game, declare your truce with all players. They can't attack you that way.
8 ) For all blood oath truces, make sure you don't skimp on the address being signed on the other side. Pay for delivery.
9) If it involves anything called a "Pact", don't do it.
10) ...
