Imagine you found a magic lamp who's contents include an all powerful genie. This genie is charged with granting one wish to any individual who finds it and then promptly causing itself and it's lamp to disappear for one thousand years. The genie in this lamp used to be a regular human and as such still contains many fallacies of humanity including making mistakes, anger at being held captive for eternity, and a very dark sense of humor.

You may have one wish.

but the genie is vengeful.

He will try to ruin your wish. He is forced to grant your wish perfectly as stated and without question, but he may subtly alter the world around you in a most evil way to make your wish come true. For example, if you ask for infinite wishes not only would that spell infinite torture but the genie could almost certainly kill off everything you hold dear as you start using them.

State your wish! Try to undermine other people's wishes!


My wish:

I wish I could fly.

I wish to replace the genie and become him. That way I could afterward transform myself back to how it was but at the same time have unlimited power. Also, I wont have to bother about the genie anymore, because I am him.

As genie I would just let you fly for a short time since you never said how long you want to fly.

I wish I would be loved by those I love.

to gay?

I wish I could do whatever I want whenever I want it to do.

I wish the genie was a nice, happy and friendly genie that grants me every wish.

We would have a blast.

Also OP, your wish sounds horrible considering it's a vengefull genie you're dealing with . So many ways that that could turn out very very bad

Wish granted! But you shall ONLY lust to play Starcraft 2. Your lust will ever increase slowly over time. At first you will not notice it, but soon you will play Starcraft 2 instead of sleeping. Soon after you will play Starcraft 2 instead of eating. Mwahahahaha

Wish granted! but without religion 95% of the world instantly turns evil. They've never known anything else but their God's word, and by taking it away from them you have DOOMED humanity to certain destruction as every former religious person in the world releases their lifetime of pent up evils on each other.

I would wish the genie to be free, but without power. With nobody taking it's place.

Wish granted! Unfortunately this also turns the genie back into a human. He promptly kills you.

Stop trying to circumvent the system.

Wish Granted! The genie is free and without power. He promptly stabs you and leaves you bleeding.

He's kinda insane still after a millennium of being cooped up one thousand years at a time.

If he's gonna fuck it up either way I might as well let him go. He was a human being being trapped for thousands of years. Gotta feal a bit sorry for him. You might gain a friend with wisdom of thousands of years or instead get some crappy wish that screws you over. I can understand the genie, I would be pissed if I was trapped in a lamp for thousands of years.
