Ruin a Wish
help
Genies are known for their trickery in which they will technically grant a wish but then there are consequences to that wish being granted. A classic example is that somebody will wish for a million dollars, but then we find out the million dollars is stolen from banks.

So, let's take a turn at being those tricky genies, in a way - because we have the internet and imagination (yeah, the wishes, consquences and conditions can get VERY SILLY)!

The beginning poster posts a wish. The person that posts under it grants the wish, but they put in the part that isn't wanted. That person then also puts their own wish and the game continues.

It might look something like this.

Pen:

I wish I had a million dollars.

Simons Mith:

Granted, but the million dollars is stolen from banks.

I wish I never had to pay another utility bill.

Rak:

Granted, but now you live on a boat with pirates.

I wish I had eyes in the back of my head.

And on it goes . . .


So, I'll start with my wish. I wish that I would never get too cold, no matter the temperature.

You are the greatest triangle player the world has ever known.

If only I'd bought into Bitcoin 10 years ago.

[Rosie] I reckon you dodged a bullet. That wish could have made you an accordion virtuoso :-)
[Raak] there's a bit of obsessing about cryptocurrencies going on there, no? Is there anything you want to talk about? To do with the MtGox exchange failure, perhaps?

An allergy-free life is my wish.

No problem; just eliminate everything that causes allergies. Grass and tree pollen, dust mites, animal dander, food, insect bites, medicines, latex, mould, household chemicals... Wait a minute, was that 'food' in the list? Oh, whoops. Oh well, at least when we all starve to death no-one will have a runny nose.

I wish for more wishes!

[SM] All of your new wishes are more wishes for more wishes. They multiply at such an enormous, and enormously accelerating rate that soon almost the entirety of creation consists of wishes, and the universe we know is but an unimaginably small pinprick of dust in that incomprehensible vastness. The wishes evolve sentience and speculate on the origins of their universe. The real story becomes so improbable that our universe blinks out of existence.

I want an IQ of at least 400.
