Corrupt a Wish

I've had this idea in my head for a few days, and I finally decided to post it. It's another game thread, one that I hope will be fun and intellectually stimulating at the same time.

Here's what you do. I'll make a wish at the end of this post. Look at the wish that I (or the last person to post) posted, and try to corrupt it so that the wish turns around and harms the wisher. You have to fulfill the conditions of the wish, but you have to do it in a way that the person is worse off than before they made the wish.

Then, after you're done taking the innocuous wish and corrupting it, make your own innocuous wish. You can wish for whatever you want, the laws of nature do not apply. And make it as vague or specific as you want; this will determine the difficulty level, as more specific wishes will be more difficult to corrupt.

So, here's my wish.

I wish I had the feathery wings of an angel, and that I could use them to fly.

    But you fly too high and burn up in the sun.

    I wish I could remember if we did this already, or if it's just my imagination.

    I love these things; I used to do this with my friends all the time.

    Edit: Dang you!!!

    I give you knowledge of everything that has or hasn’t happened yet, your head explodes

    I wish that my wish is invalid so you don’t grant this wish.

    your wish that your wish is invalid is invalid, so you get a wish, I corrupt it.

    I wish for knowlege!!!

    <The God of inane wishes smites you for your mockery of a wish!>
    You gain the memories of insane murderers and sinking into madness. You attempt to go on a killing spree but fail and end up in a padded room for the rest of your days.

    I wish I knew what to wish for.

    EDIT: Dang! Took too long! Ignore the first bit.

    You know what to wish for now, but that last wish wasn't it!

    I wish I was worshiped as a God for seeding extraterrestrial planets with life.

    You spend every waking hour, (and then some,) hearing nothing but prayer. also, the aliens are sea monkeys.

    I wish for more XP.

    I wish for a new car.

    I would have wished for a free car, but okay. I'll be expecting your payment of 14,000 bells tomorrow.

    I wish for the grim reaper to be my servant.

    [Useless but I liked it>] Your new car appears several hundred feet above you and not only kills you, but is destroyed by the fall.

    Edit: Damn blobs. The grim reaper is your servant but even servants have break time, he kills you during said time.

    I wish for a my house somehow gain several additions to fill up the entire block I'm living on.

    I liked your car wish version better anyway.

    The additions form an impenetrable maze and you starve to death in your attempts to leave.

    I wish for threads to forever remain on-topic!

    You make the stupid mistake of going to the Orange Belt where nothing but madness applies, said madness drives you insane.

    I wish I didn't have as many [relatively] good ideas so that others could come up with them and get credit for something.

    What the hell is "fam?"
  • mariomario
    edited July 2008
    Wait, so The Orange Belt only has threads where the topic is madness-related? Or are they going off-topic and descending into madness? Because I specifically wished for on-topicness, so that means I definitely get that wish.
  • NoLongerNoLonger
    edited July 2008
    Manipulating anything in the Orange Belt is beyond the scope of any wish granting beings, and even if they try the main subject always descends into madness because of the people being here being who they are.

    Edit: YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!!!
    Blob, in the game "Sins of a Solar Empire" you conquer planets and the such, you can also rename them. "Fam" is always what I rename my second Planet, "Grib-Grik" being the name of my home planet.

    That's cheating! The rules of the thread stipulate that you have to fulfill the conditions of the wish!

    Guess I win!

    Mario for the win!
    also what's fam?

    Oh they're fulfilled, it just isn't fulfilled here. Oh wait, better reason.

    The wish granting entity doesn't know what sort of thread you're talking about, so forever more clothing and any other thin string is always on-topic.
    Some one brings up the topic of assassination, the small threads in your shirt decide to demonstrate an assassination by strangling you.

    Edit: I explained fam farther up.

    This one's easy. You have far less good ideas than before... none, in fact. The rest of your short life is spent in the streets, madly imbibing stolen liquor while your peers outshine you with their unusual foresight and good judgment. When the cops catch you, you get another very bad idea and run toward them and try to smother them one-by-one. They shoot you dead.

    I wish for immortality (in the sense that I cannot die but still continue my usual bodily functions), eternal youth, and for my fiancee to have the same.

    Any children you have with your soon to be wife die before you, you eventually become bored with reality, you wish it would all end, yet only had one wish. You go mad from boredom and grief, and as your mind slowly degenerates the world does with you. The universe crashes down around you, your second wish granted, yet you still live on. The infinite void that is nonexistence separates you from your wife. Your mind breaks and you are a vegetable, floating in an endless nothing.

    I wish that post didn't seem so insensitive to me.

    It wasn't. In fact, to you, it was the most beautiful thing you've ever written, and you decided to end your writing career with it and become a recluse in the woods.

    I wish to go to heaven when I die.

    "Heaven" is the name of transsexual whorehouse in Bangkok.

    I wish for a turkey sandwich.

    You do. When you die, your soul is summoned by the Christian God and judged. You have lived by his accords, and are allowed to enter Heaven. So you start worshiping God, and it seems amazing to you. Your consciousness is bombarded with His will, assuring you that worshiping him forever is the best thing for your soul. If you could think in the same way you once thought, unimpeded by the will of God, you would realize that your current existence is essentially hollow, as you don't think, grow, learn, experience new sensations, or create anything. Your consciousness remains trapped in subservient stasis for all of eternity.

    EDIT: DAMN YOU JAKEY!!

    Fine, I'll respond to yours, but I'm not deleting my old one.

    You receive a turkey sandwich that has sat out in the marshes of Florida for one month. Enjoy your microorganisms!

    I wish that I would no longer need to eat or drink, and that my body would sustain itself on its own.

    Your lack of eating interests the scientific community and you instantly become a permanent resident of a labratory. You eventually try eating something as part of a test and it disagrees with you violently and you become completely paralyzed for the rest of your very long life for some reason.

    I wish I was more adventurous.

    You go on an adventure! You collect your life savings, you prepare nothing but a backpack, and you begin your epic journey! And as you step out into the street you fail to see the semi truck until it introduces its front guard to your face.

    I wish it were not so hot outside.
  • NoLongerNoLonger
    edited July 2008
    You become very adventurous and find and artifact that makes you immortal in the sense that your bodily functions don't need to operate for you to feel fine. See above.

    Edit: this seems to happen a lot.

    It is so hot outside that to cool down all of the hot air outside in the speed you imply you want is impossible without bringing the temperature down to approximately -80 Celsius. The horrible cold freezes anyone before they can get sufficient warming utilities on/working.

    I wish I was the king of pirates... Internet pirates.

    The FBI raids your home and discovers gigs of underage pornography amongst all your other various stolen software.

    I wish space travel was easy and affordable.

    Two words. Space. Pirates.
    EDIT: Hamelin is not a pirate. The pirates raid his space ship and rob him of all his possessions and dump him on some barren planet alone with nothing.

    I wish there really was something awesome at the center of the earth and that we could actually go there!
