Greebley, I guess I could be wrong then. I had read studies that said lux deals with civs that die give you a rep hit, I naturally assumed this applied to all per-turn things including gold.
If you have an MA with another civ and are giving GPT for it you definitely don't get a rep hit - this can be massively exploited (and has recently been posted on CFC in detail). I tested this and it is indeed true. You can pay other civs 100's of GPT for an MA against a civ you are about to wipe out, then sell techs to get the GPT back, then wipe the civ out, all in the same turn. The net affect is the AI paying you 100's of GPT they don't have and a clean rep. Highly exploitative.
