Hmm...
Here's a question. Would you be willing to pick, say, the tenth-most efficacious arguments and downward, and make them public? I understand the desire to keep anything that could actually work secret, but I'd still like to see what sort of arguments might work. (I've gotten a few hints from this, but I certainly couldn't put them into practice...)
I'll have to think carefully about revealing my own unique ones, but I'll add that a good chunk of my less efficacious arguments are already public.
For instance, you can find a repertoire of arguments here:

What is wrong with you people? In response to incredible demand, I have raised the price.) If you feel queasy about giving me money, I'm perfectly fine with this money being donating to MIRI. It is also personal policy that I do not play friends (since I don't want to risk losing one), so if you know me personally (as many on this site do), I will not play regardless of monetary offer.Advice
