How to calculate the value of a human soul...

I was sitting here thinking of how I could purchase a human soul and get my money's worth return on the investment, and it dawned on me that there's no true equation for determining the value of the soul.

First, we layout our variables:

e = will equal the life expectancy of the host, determined with a number of years remaining.
d = will equal the probability of damnation, given the ratio of sins to e, which is determined with 's'.
s = will equal sins.
c = will equal corrupt-ability.
n = will equal network of friends.
b = the base value of the soul, determined by the host, in general.
x = the value of the human soul.

So our equations:

First, we determine the probability of damnation -

s/100 = d

Next, we must determine corrupt-ability. This number lessens with the probability of damnation. It is determined as so -

(d*e)-(n/50) = c

Finally, we can determine the value of the soul -

b + (c100) = x

And thus we can determine the value of the soul. The only two issues it has is determining your number of sins and how many people are in your network. If you have these values, which most demons do, it should be fairly simple. The purpose of this calculation is to determine just how much you're willing to pay for the soul in question. Given that all animals have the right to request a min price before offering you their soul, it's only courteous to give them a max selling price. This also ensures that you won't be haggled by anyone for something thats more than they're worth.

Obviously, if their base price is to high, you should just walk away. Sometimes property values are ridiculous... especially with inflation these days >.>.

Anyways, good luck in your soul gatherings.

 

Does this raise the value of evildoers or reduce it?
Also the correct format is:
x = (((s/100)*e)-(n/50))*100)+b
I'm also making an online calculator for it

 

I'll sell mine for 100M, you go first.

 

It raises the value. Souls that seem to be more geared towards evil have a higher likely-hood of doing what you want. Whereas souls that are geared towards good are never a safe bet, as you never know when something may intervene.

 

Well, Karl, I don't know if you're a safe investment for that amount, you see...

You place the base value at a very high amount, and my calculation puts you at a very low amount. I'm just not sure, given your history, if the work you would do for me would be... adequate to my purchase...

 

70M, lowest I'll go.

 

Would you consider lowering your life expectancy, a bit?

 

i give u TWO gold pieces?
take it or leave it.

you first/omm your fees.

Well I smoke and drink on the weekend, is that good enough?

 

I tried to include personality factors into the equation, but I felt that it would get too...

complicated.

 

I'll sell mine 10m, you first tho.

 

Since my soul is worth approxomately $850,000 I'll sell for $800,000 or 1,600,000,000,000 RSGP - that is equal to a max stack of dwarf cannons

 

How old are you?
