Poll: A deal with the devil...

[JLML]

Out of those, none. There are several other disabilities I wouldn't particularly mind, especially if I get something good for it. Preferably I'd lose my sense of hearing, though, since I have the perfect idea for fucking with people's minds made up. Only works if I'm deaf though. D:

 

[bojackx]

Chop off my legs! 5 millions Euro's is like 6 and half million US dollars, for that money you can get some implants

eh, walking is overrated anyway.
Actually, wait, I would get 5 million Euros and never have to walk again.

I do not see a downside to this.

First of all:
£ = not a euro sign...

OT: I would rather have my health. I'm happy right now as it is, and I don't think money I need that much money, I wouldn't mind earning all of my wealth all by myself.

 

[Ralen-Sharr]

major diabetes has many other nasty factors that come into play... and I'm scared shitless of needles.... no way
I've had signs of Schizophrenia since I was little. Very minor stuff and I've had a good enough grasp on them to recognize that something wasn't "real" and ignore it. It's mildly irritating now, but I've had it get bad 1 time. That was enough. A lifetime of that shit wouldn't be worth the 100 mil.
Lose my legs above the knee.... eh that's at least reasonable. I can still have my otherwise phisical and mental health unchanged. It'd be a pain in the ass but at least you could make a reasonable attempt to enjoy the cash.

 

[Death God]

I prefer to have perfect health than money so I chose the last option.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I think I could live with both legs amputated, although it would depend on where. If it was below/just above the knee then I might go for it (might) if it was the whole leg from the hip then no.

But really, I think I'd take my health instead of wealth. I plan to get quite wealthy enough under my own steam, don't need a deal with Satan to settle that. And I could totally outplay him on guitar anyway, so I'd win my soul/legs back easy enough.

 

[-KC-]

I cant believe ppl are actually considering any of the first 4 options. Seriously :O what is wrong with you ppl ?!

You probably don't know anyone w/o legs, who can't walk, or some Schizophrenic. :S

 

[Havok2099]

I choose the legs amputated bit, my uncle is crippled and I don't recall him ever saying how great it is. But damn I'm greedy, and I am a person who's sorrows could be easily drowned in 5 million dollars.

The devil solicits you at night, guaranteeing a fortune*. On one condition: you have to undertake a considerable handicap. Which do you choose? Bear in mind that all of these will be permanent and affect you for the rest of your life. Rest assured, the devil will honour their end of the agreement.

Hmmm... unless you edit the poll so it actually IS a fortune I'd say the devil is scamming you. 5 mil? please. That's a nice chunk of cash but hardly a fortune. Now 100 mil, that was nice, but that's just for the option that will have you dead soon.

What's wrong with 5 million? You can buy yourself a very nice house or two, you won't ever have to work again, you could keep the last million in a good bank account and live off the interest alone. Though that's assuming it's used responsibly. For the average lower or middle class person it is definitely a fortune.

 

[Alaster Angelo]

If I'm going to make a deal with the devil then I'm going to wish for superpowers or something. Money is obsolete when you rule the world.

 

[MammothBlade]

what type of diabetes and how serious? some diabetes can be no problem at all you just need to watch your diet and take the occasional injection, it rarely impacts your life at all and ive got a £5million net profit to invest and live the rest of my life on (i could pay a financial adviser to invest it for me)
oh and to those people saying ill just get implants they are pretty horrible you will miss your legs trust me
this really wasnt a hard question at all

Whichever kind is harder to manage.

There is something of a link between the options. Option 2 can indirectly lead to option 3 if you get diabetic gangrene. Because the side effects of antipsychotics have a risk of causing diabetes, option 1 has a slight possibility of leading to option 2, which in turn has a slight possibility of leading to option 3.

 

[Nouw]

Bye bye legs! With five million pounds, my legs could be better than my previous ones. No more sore shins, dead legs and leg injuries.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Money? Really? That's all he offers? The hell with that. I'd piss on that deal. Money isn't worth it. No thanks, chum.

 

[Kae]

Well I've already had hallucinations that time I got lost in a forest for 5 days and didn't eat anything nor slept enough and it was the worst thing ever, seriously I had no idea what I was doing, where I was going or even where I was, so you are offering me money to get a WAAAAAY worse version of that?! Yeah, I'll pass on the schizophrenia people think I'm crazy enough as it is.
I'm also rather fond of my legs and I LOVE candy way too much to have diabetes, so I guess I will take my health, though if you would take my left eye for 1/2 a million pounds I wouldn't mind, I mean it's not like it works anyway.

 

[magicmonkeybars]

5 million is hardly a fortune worthy of a demonic pact.
500 million that's pact with the devil territory.

 

[hazabaza1]

So... how much do artificial legs cost, exactly?

 

[Guffe]

I went for the first option, I can use my multiple personalitys to enjoy things I wouldn't normally!

Schizophrenia is not the same as multiple personality dissorder...
Schizophrenia means you're hearing voices and seing things, multiple personallity dissorder is a whole other dissorder, just sayin'

On Topic:
I'm going to pick health instead of money thank you
I live in a situation at the moment were I think health is more important than the 5 mil.
I'm happy and I have the money I make every month living a good life even if it isn't a huge amount of money.

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

Well, considering I already have Type 1 diabetes, I'll take that option.
If I can't, then I'll roll with the loss of legs. I'd rather not go crazy, and I can live without legs. Not really a sporty person anyways, so there's that.

 

[PurePareidolia]

Nope, I wouldn't make a Faustian deal that I don't get to personally dictate the terms of.

If, on the other hand I could devise a deal of my own, things could well go a different way.

 

[DeltaEdge]

Uh-oh, my "Christian senses" are tingling. I think I will just avoid the Devil altogether and run like hell if his presence is even remotely near. I'd prefer not to encounter the Devil at all because that would be kind of effing soul risking scary.

The devil solicits you at night, guaranteeing a fortune*. On one condition: you have to undertake a considerable handicap. Which do you choose? Bear in mind that all of these will be permanent and affect you for the rest of your life. Rest assured, the devil will honour their end of the agreement.

*[sub]All figures adjusted for inflation, if you happen to be reading this in 2050.[/sub]

You'd make a terrible Devil, just me, but Amputation and Diabetes sounds alot more friendly then being schizophrenic. How the hell would you know that it won't cause you to give all your money to a hallucination that is actually a fire or something? That's the kind of thing I...ahem...I mean, thats the kind of thing the Devil would probably do.

But anyway, I'm....I mean the Devil isn't about to make any of you offers, besides I prefer souls anyway.

Assuming that you-- err, the Devil were real, if people were making deals with yo- er him, do you really think that they're exactly heaven-bound? I think that you can probably expect their souls in about 50-70 years anyways.

 

[Talshere]

Well I wouldnt because 5 mill really isnt that much all things considered these days. But if I had to Id take diabetes. It requires a lifestyle change, mainly in diet but otherwise is completely manageable. I know people with both type 1 and 2 diabetes and it doesn't majorly affect them outside of carrying around a few pills or insulin.

On the other hand schizophrenia can be temperamental at the best of time and medication doesn't always work and there really is no coming back from having no legs.
