Corrupt a Wish (self.forum_games)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Rogue_General to c/forum_games
 

Simple game, a person makes a wish. Anyone else can "corrupt" it. Then that person makes a wish of their own, and the cycle continues.

For example:

Person A: I wish I had 1 million dollars.

Person B: Wish granted, but they are Monopoly dollars. My wish: I wish I could fly.

Person C: Wish granted, but sustaining flight requires 500 calories per minute. My wish: I wish I could teleport.

etc.

I'll start off: I wish I could teleport

[–] eren 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wish granted, but coordinates span the universe. You mess up, teleport off planet, and die.

I wish I could fly.

edit: subconsciously copied the flying part lol

[–] Cosmonaut_Collin 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wish granted, but you can only fly when no one is looking at you.

I wish I had the ability to predict what someone was going to say before they could say it.

[–] eren 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wish granted. You become popular, now the FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA all want you, and you lose control over your life.

I wish I had the ability to push the stock prices up when I squint hard enough.

[–] Rogue_General 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wish granted. Stock prices go up the harder you squint but conversely plummet when you don't, leading to an apocalypic market crash that can only be avoided by frequent squinting throughout the day. On the plus side markets close after 4pm so you do get to rest you eyes a bit before the next day :P

I wish I had a notebook, that whatever I drew in it would immediately come into existence in front of me.

[–] eren 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wish granted. You get the notebook***.

I wish I could stop time.

***accompanying magic pencil granted separately.

[–] Rogue_General 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wish granted. But once you use your powers for the first time you realize that you cannot unfreeze time, and so you (along with the rest of the universe) spend eternity frozen.

I wish I could cure any ailment with a single touch.

[–] eren 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Granted. No one in your country stays sick. There is an explosion in the elderly population. The pension fund runs out. Millions starve to death.

I wish I am all-knowledgeable.

[–] The_Sourcerer 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Granted but every time you try to tell someone something you know all they hear is static noise or, if written, all they see is scribblings.

I wish I could print real all-American $100 USD Benjamin’s straight from my hands whenever I wanted.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Granted. However, subdermal printing has yet to be perfected leaving your freshly printed bills stained (and sometimes still wet) with your own blood.

I wish I could get a full night's sleep in a matter of minutes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Granted! You will get a full night's sleep in a matter of minutes. You will fall asleep for 1 minute at 4 random times during the day.

I wish I could adjust my body temperature at will.

[–] eren 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Granted. You notice you burn fat in hours and become addicted. You die from starvation.

I wish I had a lamp with three wishes.

[–] Rogue_General 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wish granted. As part of the contract you are turned into a genie and bound to the lamp for 1,000 years, and your three wishes will be granted after you first serve the lamp for that period of time.

I wish mosquitos bites bolstered immune systems instead of carrying diseases like malaria.

[–] eren 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Granted! Your immune system becomes so bolstered it became autoimmune as you eat your own brain out.

I wish it's less work to find a girlfriend.

[–] Rogue_General 1 points 1 year ago

Granted! As technology develops rapidly it's become possible for companies to offer AI girlfriends for those seeking convenience.

I wish I could take a ride on a space shuttle and walk on the moon just once.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, Person C. You can teleport, but only one bodypart at a time. My wish: I wish I could charge phones with my hand.

[–] pankkake 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, Deestan. You can charge phones with your hand, but only very slowly and the phone gets uncomfortably hot. My wish: I wish public transport was free.

[–] Rogue_General 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, Pankkake. Public transport is free, which is a great boon to the plebs but obviously have the the car manufacturers and other corporate lobbyists irked. They lobby the government until funding is severely slashed; eventually passenger train infrastructure starts to crumble, busses are frequently out of commission, and no one can get anywhere on time using public transport.

I wish everyone in the world always had enough food to satisfy their basic nutritional needs.

[–] ChosenUndead15 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The food is absolute nauseating in taste, despite being extremely good for people health.

I wish for an efficient way to create fusion energy to be discovered.

[–] Rogue_General 1 points 1 year ago

Wish granted. This causes weapons of mass destruction that rely on fusion tech to be much easier to acquire, plunging the world into a new cold war.

I wish I could shape-shift into any animal at will.
