I think the easiest way would to, on the second signing of a soul contract, send the user a message similar to:

You feel an immense pressure from inside...

Then maybe like ten seconds later they're gibbed. It would stop the get-every-power-by-going-back-and-forth-between-devils powergame. I only think it should be this harsh because that's exactly what it is, powergaming. And could also be considered an exploit.

Multi-contract already seems like a bug. How can you sell your soul twice?

I was told Devil was removed? Because I'm yet to play it. And RP anatag seems like something right up my alley.

It has always been admin-only, and trust me, it is not a good "RP antag." Their gimmick is that they can give you a shitload of genetics powers/all access/other broken shit in exchange for your soul, which doesn't really do anything, so everybody does the deal. Then the devil gets 15 deals and ascends, killing everybody. Not conducive to RP at all.

Oh I know what it does, I've seen it before. But I'm the kind of person who trades his tc/antag for a god damn parrot or a cak every time, so I'd enjoy just walking around and sweet talking virgins.
