EPTI'd wish that this wish would do exactly what I want it to do.
At the point of enunciating the wish, that which you wanted it to do was do exactly what you wish for (which is wishing). Therefore, your head explodes.
I wish I was a baller.

(Cause now he's a nice guy). he still dissappears for a thousand years after he granted it. ok, this is my last post. | ||

you can't "corrupt" a wish by doing something completely unrelated to the wish itself as a punishment. "i wish to be able to teleport"... so the genie KILLS YOU. no. that's not how this works. corrupt the WISH itself, not any externalities. the point of this thread is to come up with ways to word desires that give you precisely what you want, no more no less. for example, the wish above, "I wish I had the ability to teleport myself including anything else I'm in contact with to any location I desire." can be corrupted as follows: "when you attempt to teleport, being in contact with the ground, you rip a hole in the earth, causing a massive hole where you left. furthermore, wherever you teleported will have tons and tons of raw earth dropped on top of it, likely crushing whatever it was you wanted to get to anyway. additionally, you are now teleported several hundred feet above your intended location (since the chunk of earth came with you and you are on top of it), you will have to jump and will likely break bones, etc." notice the corruption is strictly on the power granted, not some externality he didn't even request (like "training" next to the sun) etc. | ||

Wish granted. <_< | ||

He would have to go about changing stuff that are in no way connected to my wish, including peoples minds. | ||

"money" is merely the items we give arbitrary value to in order to better facilitate trade. the american indians back in the day used to use teeth as currency. grats, everyone has no teeth. | ||

Good luck taking care of infinite deaf and blind genies! I wish I wasn't this sick anymore... (On a side note, please stop trying to beat the genie, that's not the point of the game. The point is to come up with a fun way to ruin someone's wish and then provide a wish that can be ruined) | ||

I wish for the genie's freedom by returning them to humanity. Im not sure why anyone would wish this, the genie has lost its mind allready, earlier genies said they would stab you. | ||

I'd pass - the GM (or in this case genie) will _always_ screw you over  Well - maybe if you get an attorney to review a pages long and carefully worded wish - then maybe (kudos to everyone who gets this reference!) | ||

You become 4 foot 7 inches but still great at basketball. You make everyone on TeamLiquid continuously post that the mods get frustrated and lock the forums down. Well that was easy. This reminds me of that Cursed Monkey Paw. I want to participate stating an infallible wish... but I cant think of any in a short period of time.  | ||
