Wire 'minus' 50 energy credits Increase the size of your Attachments

That was kinda strange when during nice talk with solicitous Morgan for my question if he could enter a pact with me the answer was:

yes, but you must wire -50 energy credits

it must have had something to do with the fact that i gave him a technology just a minute ago during this conversation. I do not recall earlier such turnout of the events. i had 44 credits, so i thought - nope, i'm short 6 credits, but that 'minus' looked suspicious, and when i clicked button:
"wire -50 energy credits"
I got 94 credits on my account.
I wonder if he offered a pact from his side - he would give me that 50 credits?

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Hmmm, thats quite interesting. I tried this in a PBEM once, as well (with wgabrie or Radman, can't remember which), where I sent him -1 EC, just to see what would happen. The other player accepted, but the 1EC was not deducted from his account, and on my turn I got confirmation of the transaction, but didn't receive the EC. Shrug - just one of those things, I guess....

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Seen it a couple of times in single player games, basically the AI offering you money to pact them but they don't want to be seen as grovelling so they demand you pay them minus energy

Once, an AI offered to pay me '-25 energy credits' for one of my technologies.
I promptly refused.
