mc5 - Ruin a Wish

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.

We can't risk that again, so take this infant and infuse it with all the experience and wisdom at your disposal, so that it makes none of the same mistakes.

I want to impeach the President.

(After checking the datestamp on that last move)

You get the previous incumbent instead... (I made a typo in that as "pervious" originally. It's rather apt as I think about it.)

I wish I could fall asleep at a regular hour.

Raak

You get bitten by a vampire, and henceforth sleep throughout the hours of daylight.

I wish I could read the whole of Project Gutenberg.

You can, but it's a pretty dull autobiography after the bits about Police Academy

I wish I could work on Doctor Who

Projoy

You wake up a nurse in an old folks' home, wiping Colin Baker's bottom while he babbles about Spielsnapes.

I wish Winter were over and there were more daylight
