No. It's a story quest, so you can't abort it.

This might be better submitted in the "Questions" thread, rather then placing it in the "Proposals" section, don't you think?
According to the Wiki - http://forgeofempires.wikia.com/wiki/Deception this storyline quest cannot be aborted.

This isn't even an issue. Who cares about coins? Just pay and move on. So you get some back. It's an easy and simple quest. Took you longer to write about it here than do it.

Those are my favorite quests of all. Zero time and effort.

I agree this may not have been the best spot to post. Also, I did just pay it and move on... but it does need improvement since it is just silly to have a quest to give up x amount of anything to finish it... my 2 cents... Thanks!

Many of the quests seem pointless or silly. Perhaps the programmers at INNO are frustrated philosophers and it's a metaphor for the silly tasks we're faced with in real life.
I'm with JCera, if I'm going to do a pointless/silly task, I'll take pay coins or supplies over do 85 X 5 minute productions anyday.

The very worst quests have to be do x amount of 4 hour productions.

I hate "finish 55 5-minute productions" even more.

I hate the 8 hour production quests. They take twice as long as 4 hour ones, and other than some special production buildings that produce fp every 8 hours I never use them in daily use.

I use them all the time... 8hr production, go to bed... 8hr production, go to work...

Same. It's more efficient then the 24hr production when it comes to time management and it has the same resource output as 24hr
There's only so much to spend stuff on in the game, quests like these force us to build up our cities more efficiently in those areas of we've neglected certain things
It's kind of like in Age of Empires where if you want to upgrade to the next age you have to pay some of each resource to do so - set out to whatever amounts you're expected to be able to afford at that age
Just here you're unlocking story quests instead of the next age.
You could just never pay up and ignore quests altogether if you wanted. Or pay the upgrade fees that come around every so often so you can keep getting better rewards pertaining to your current age
I disagree. It's a way of measuring your progress in your city and for those that can't complete it to re-evaluate how they run their city.

While this might seem to be true on the surface, if you look a bit deeper it isn't necessarily as true as you might think.
A motivated 24hr will outproduce an unmotivated 8hr, and any supply boosts you have will really add up on the 24hr.
I have found in the past that it was impossible to get the majority of my 8hr productions motivated, but have never had a problem getting my 24hr productions motivated. This is based on the 40-50 production buildings I usually run until my Chateau is high enough so I can start eliminating some.
Also, 24hr productions that let you fulfill the requirements for recurring quests give those rewards in addition. 8hr doesn't have that option.
If you only run a few 8hr productions and don't have any problem getting them 100% motivated, then you are golden.

also only Industrial so maybe that makes a difference?
You make a good point in regards to amount of motivation needed. And if you're able to get on at the same time each day you're correct, 24hrs does the job and allows recurring quests.
For me though I rarely get online at a specific time. So if I did do 24 hrs it'd be all over the place as to how often I actually collect. Although one could always switch between 8 and 24 hr lots for resetting the timers

Please post in proper proposal format.

If you had a chateau frontenac at a high level you could have made coins off that quest!
