    When you swear up and down you will not do something, what'd something people will offer you that will make you give in? What's your weakness in those kinds of situations?
    In other words, what can someone offer you that can win you over?
    For me, it's red velvet cake and the promise of more Pokémon cards or games. I just can't resist. And my guitar. Threaten to do something to my guitar and I'll do almost anything.

    What's the things that will win you over in argument, basically?

    It can be food, a good party..or the girl that I like actually saying me that we should date soon.
    In order 1) Girl 2) Party 3) Food. Thins that I cannot resist and make me forget about everything. I prefer to keep the details at minimum :ninja:

    Ooooh, umm... Pretty much anything that I've been wanting to get my hands on soon, or food when I want some! Anything Pokémon related will win me over in a heartbeat for sure

    Money...
    That's literally it, I'm so greedy that you could probably pay me to do just about anything.

    Not to sound greedy or anything; but anything that involves money. I'm not the richest person to begin with, so anything money-related makes me happy.

    Even then, I have a hard time accepting the money if I didn't earn it in any way.

    Kindness. I just can't turn somebody down when they're being so nice to me, and when I do it really breaks my heart. Food (particularly fast food), a new video game, or the offer of something else that I really like or want also works once in a while, since I'm not used to being given things very often.

    My laptop or phone, that's a big one. My friends tend to take stupid pictures of me for blackmail honestly I need better friends so that'll do it. Also, just begging until I get annoyed will typically do it for them. Chocolate chip cookies, too. I literally went sledding down a 30 foot hill and fell off and rolled halfway down for three fucking chocolate chip cookies.

    also boys

    I'm pretty accommodating and like to compromise, though I can't say anything in particular will sway my opinion.

    Uh-uh. Nope. If I give my word to not do something, then I gave my damn word to not do it. It would be easier to move a mountain than to try to convince me to go back on my word. I don't just run around making promises, but I'd rather be shot dead than break one.

    I guess that I would back down if threats were made that could get people seriously hurt. Even then, I'm likely to just put that person into the hospital to prevent them from going about that action, anyway, so submitting is unnecessary.

    Food. No matter how stubbornly I resist, the promise of good food will convince me to do something nine times out of ten.

    I will shamelessly accept bribes.

    Probably guilt. I often feel the need to help people and do things to make them happy, so I see them feeling crappy because I couldn't pull through for them I'll do it.

    Don't abuse this if you ever meet me!

    For me, it's guilt and grades. For example, I'm doing this group project right now, and if it wasn't for my grade, I wouldn't have done most of the work and just done my part. However, because of grades, I had to do pretty much everyone else's.

    This for me also, except I wouldn't die even if they killed me. As I consider what I say to be of the utmost importance, and thus always take what I say seriously, then whatever I say must become the truth. If I showed any momentary or exploitable weakness, I would be no better than a nameless passerby.

    There are a couple of factors for me. If it's morally wrong and if I respect the person who is asking.
    But it really depends. My youth group will tell the one time we did a mock court case, I was the reason it was a hung jury instead of guilty.
    Basically, nope.

    It depends. If I've given my word to not do something, nothing will sway me.

    In less dire situations? Probably money, ahaha.

    Hm. Probably something Pokémon related or food. When someone asks me to do something, I usually do to help them out.

    Are you asking so you know how to bribe us to help you with something in the future, or so you know how to bribe us to keep quiet in front of the police when they find you?

    Either way, the answer's the same for me.
    1: Ladies. Ladies usually have a way of winning me over. There's two things in particular that I like about them... but moving on.
    2: Food. Food is just cutting the middleman out of me spending my own time and my own effort and my own money on survival. I think it makes a pretty good this-for-that, since my favor to you probably includes helping you in your survival, in one way or another.
    3: Money. The middleman to my survival is still nice.

    Well, I have quite a few weaknesses, but in this context (as to what I'd be bribed with), that's another story lol.

    1: I'm a sucker for technology. Things like my laptop, phone, video games, or whatever, require me to know where it is at all times. And if someone wants to offer me one of those (and I actually care for it; like if someone offered me a PS3 game or a game I already have then no lol), I'd probably do it.

    2: Money just cause I don't have a source of income for now and I'm broke. =P

    3: Junk food (fries, pizza, chips, etc.). I'm a sucker for those as well. XD
