Further bonus points if you bring along a golden guitar.
And if your name is Johnny, and you happen to be in Georgia.
Different reference, actually, but meh.
Do we get bonus points if we complete this task in the American South?
Are you calling out the Yellow Bear of Blues Gee-tar Fame?
I've been told that this has already been done by a certain man...
Ben: (also, where the bloody hell did you learn to draw like that?!!?)
bustedpuppet: thank you.
i sold my soul to a man i met at the crossroads
This would be tricky. I don't really have anything to give in exchange for a soul. I don't have the ability to make someone a better musician, or some other such thing. Since I couldn't deliver on my end, would the deal become null? I'd lose the soul, and probably get flagged for not completing it.
Even if the seller wanted some tangible thingus in exchange for their soul, I don't have things like a golden fiddle lying around. If I had a golden fiddle, I'd be inclined to keep it.
Man, this one is tricky. Tricky tricky.
You'd be surprised. I bought about a dozen once at $5 a pop - still got the contracts somewhere.
i sold my soul for a mozzarella cheese stick. signed a contract and everything. it wasn't even that good of a cheese stick. later i regretted my decision and my soul was given back to me in a verbal agreement, sealed with a handshake. do you think that counts, as in, do you think my soul is in my possession? it certainly seems to be... it's very heavy lately. maybe i should have just went with the cheese stick after all.
It does just say attempt. That's deliberate - I don't like tasks that tell you to try to do something when they really mean to achieve it, but proving you no longer have a soul is sufficiently hard that I figure documenting a sufficiently thorough attempt ought to be worth points.
1. i wasn't at a crossroads.
2. i play this game to expand my experience, and therefore would not submit something i had already done independent of the game.
3. i don't care about points. i want fleurs-de-lis.
i was just wondering if i could still sell my soul. on this- i also used to collect souls. i bought several, and had paper contracts. my goal was to have a full file cabinet of souls, as a strange supermundane sculpture. but i was never willing to pay more than $2, so i only acquired six or seven souls. ah, well.
My point in mentioning the attempt thing is that, if you make a sincere effort, it doesn't matter if it later turns out you don't have one to sell.
herr doktor: oic. thank you for clarifying, you are a gentleman.
girls: i love you, too. that's why were all gettin' hitched in a big, sinful wedding ceremony. would you prefer a july or august wedding? november would also work. i'm wearing le smoking.
Some of us would gratefully receive any incoming player souls.
Perhaps you should be designating player killing zones, and selling other players.
How do you know about the player killing zones?
We notice these things.
You think we stray there when there's a killin' afoot?
You sadden us with your hate-filled comment.
We would like to also point out that we are not a Sockpuppet exactly... more an account for those of us not graced with the joy of SFZero.
We would agree with your vote/flag puppet sentiments, if we knew what they were.
We can see your point, but we would also like to make it known that we (as a group of impartial people) find some sockpuppets to be amusing and entertaining.
We dislike disruptive puppets, and you should take a look at yourself...
It's true, the cry of DEATH TO SOCK PUPPETS was nothing more than a desperate plea for help. I am a sock puppet, beloathed by those who play the game, and I wish for nothing more than death.
:: sobs ::
Do not be sad. Sock Puppets and humans will learn to get along and you will be loved by all.
And Sock Puppets already forgive you, and love you.
One of my friend's is called Robert Johnson, it's cool.
Bonus points: Do it while dressed in classic Applegate fashion.
Buying someone's soul through epic guitar battles will recive bonus points.
