both loyola and depaul told me that they cant match my offers at this time. is that a polite and "smart" way of just saying NO, or does that mean that they will reopen the opportunity at a later time?

They've probably given out as much merit aid as their budgets allow right now. I'd ask again a few days after the first deposit deadline since they'll have a better idea of who's attending and how much money they have left.

By "trolls", do you mean "people who have asked you to honestly assess your career goals and whether your target law schools will help you meet them"?

Because from your post history, those are the only kinds of people you've met.

Just squeezing in -- Are there any significant ramifications for negotiating past the first deposit deadline? Will I be at risk of losing my seat and/or scholarship?

If you haven't actually made a deposit, yes, you will lose your seat and scholarship. But if you're making seat deposits at multiple schools (be careful about doing this), or you get in off a waitlist before matriculating, then you can continue to negotiate scholarships after the deadline.
