See he knew going in that I thought it was 2 or 3 slots tops being used because I told him how I use my trade slots. He knew it and told me to upgrade anyway os I spent it....now their boss goes from saying basicly "sorry, he's a tool, lets call it a misunderstanding and let it go away" to demanding I give him 50 tech to make it go away simply because I chose not to remain in the same alliance as the guy...I mean would you remain in an alliance that lured you in with lies? I shouldn't have to pay him anything as the original terms of agreement on the trade was "trade with these two people and you can be in the circle" basicly...I was a day into the game at the time and knew no better.
