I'm not convinced I actually *need* the paper to "consent" to pull  
the one man agreement off. The sheet of paper thing was just waving  
of hands. The exploit is based off the weak definition of "External  
force" as "An External Force is anything which exists independently  
of the game."

consider the following: i have an imaginary friend called "Oinotna".

Oinotna is an external force

I create an agreement between me and oinotna...
