Would you accept?I'm starting to think a paper and a signature wouldn't be enough for you to lose your soul anyways. I'd need to check with the folklore behind devil transactions.
In most folklore, pacts are usually made official by the shedding of blood, sharing of blood, ingesting earth (Slavic tradition when making a vow), burning something, burying something, or putting something in a body of water. Or just repeating something three times.

i suppose they could appear as a floating and glowing head that resembles a human head with downs syndrome. in which case no i wouldn't sell my soul to them because it would make me question my beliefs. currently i don't think i have a soul but if i find out there's a supernatural entity floating about then maybe i am wrong. i will start to doubt it and think they might have a good reason to try to trick me into selling my soul and i wouldn't trust them.
i'm not saying this is a fail safe plan either, cause really maybe the supernatural entity is god or at least the most powerful supernatural entity that exists, and by my saying no i chance getting on their bad side and having them torture me. but since i'm guessing either way i'm going to have to say my instinct would to be scared of and avoid the supernatural entity that is trying to buy my soul.

It's not necessarily more accurate. The reason for me to care about rules is that unlike many other folktales, selling your soul obviously spans from a very mundane concept that is obviously human. Promises, pacts, I think it's understood that there is a lot of stupid ruling about them. Similar tales such as djinns granting wishes are also pretty picky when it comes to technicalities, because at least in the tale (and in our human legal world), these pacts have to be technical.

If you consider me a troll and keep posting in my threads (over and over and over and over), what does that make you?Thats a rhetorical question, shaky. I know exactly what it makes you.
It makes me a participant. Getting onto a thread just to attack someone makes you a troll. If you continue, I will report you.
These are MY threads YOU'RE getting on, and being confrontational in. When messed with about it, you cry troll.
There are people on the community forums i consider trolls. I choose not to "participate" in their threads. Nothing nice to say and all that. You want to argue? Fine.
Be a man and dont cry troll when you get zinged you cry baby.

In more then one occasion you have posted antagonistic statement that include my name. That is considered to be a personal attack and it will get you banned.
You can post your snide remarks all you like, but do not include my name. I will report it!

I'm not arguing with you, or joking. Saying my name is just fine. Personal attacks is a different matter.
Forum Guidelines & Rules
Courtesy
Don't attack others. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully ... without insult and personal attack.
So, you've called me a troll several times now, shaky.
Shaky, i'm taking these incidents as personal attacks, as i believe you're using the term erroneously, and, more importantly, shaky, knowingly, to allow yourself to be confrontational.
So, shaky, i'm warning you right now, to stop baiting me into these confrontations by calling me a troll.
Failure to do so will result in me reporting you to the proper authorities. They can decide who's in the right.

Your approach to this problem is childish. I've tried to work with you, but you refuse to simple restrain from attacking me. Please do not continue.
Whatever, shaky.
I used the proper channels here and was told if i had a problem with a poster to use the ignore button.
Thats good advice; the mods arent baby sitters and we are all, supposedly adults.
So, you consider me a troll, but keep posting in my threads where i'm supposedly being antagonistic while using your name.
This is the SECOND time i'm telling you:
There are two sure ways to not deal with this. Dont come in my threads. though if you find them so fascinating you just have to participate, put me on ignore.
Please, report me so the mods can read this thread and see how hilariously churlish you're being. Maybe they can get through to you.

It is really simply. All you have to do is stop attacking me, and we will be fine. I am not asking too much. I, in return, will leave you alone.
As far as I know, you have no right to stop someone from posting in your threads. Maybe the best thing you can do is place me on your ignore list. That would be fine with me as long as you stop attacking me.
All I want is to be free of your attacks.

Nope, cant make you not post in my threads, just pointing out that if you do, you can put me on ignore if i bother you so much. Though really, that seems asinine.I have no problem with you so no, not putting you on ignore.
I am however going to report this myself.
I'm not attacking you. All I am doing trying to solve a problem. Why do you refuse to simply say that you will not personally attack me? If it makes you feel better, you can say "I never personally attacked you, and will not personally attack you in the future".
Otherwise I feel like you are just leaving the door open for you to personally attack me in the future. Just please do me a favor, and tell me that you will not personally attack me in the future, and we can forget the past. Doesn't that sound reasonable to you?
