Poll: You get a free wish (from an asshole genie)

[CGAdam]

If I had to make a wish, I would wish for one US penny. Just a single little penny, placed on the ground in front of me. He'd have to bend the rules pretty damn far to make that one cause harm. I'd almost say you can't turn that one into something detrimental, but I wanna see if anyone here can. >)

made of urainium, keep trying

I said a simple US penny. They aren't uranium.

I would just add to the end of my wish "... and I want this all done in a manner consistent with what I actually do want and not in a manner that I would disagree with if I knew the full consequences. And that means no changing what it is I want before you grant the wish"

Essentially just tell the genie as part of my wish to fulfill it in a manner that I wouldn't disagree with. So essentially make him work for me.

Then he'd just carry out your wish in a way that you would agree with on face value, but would have indirect repercussions as a consequence of your own short sightedness. AS they are indirect, the genie can't be blamed for betraying your desires, which have all gone fulfilled.

I said in a manner that I would not disagree with if I knew the full consequences. Not just the direct consequences, the full ones. As in all the ones that the genie would know of. I'm not examining it myself, I'm having the genie do it on my behalf. And because of my wish he has to do it well.

Fine, but that still relies on consequences that suite your ideas of what is acceptable. Which may not be the best. As long as you remain of the opinion that the consequences are too your liking, they may still be ruinous in ways you are willing to allow.

I wouldn't wish. I'd just let him follow me around, just for jokes.

He can't screw me over if I don't wish for anything, so he's essentially harmless. And I'm the bigger asshole for torturing him psychologically.

Realistically one of the best things to have in life is a lot of cash and there is not many ways that can be fucked up.

Short of ruining the economy and making money worthless.

there is an ultra sensative landmine in front of you, the penny sets it off, hows that? and You never said made of Copper, just a US penny, wich could be interpreted as being in the exact shape of a penny, but made of a deifferent alloy

"You're not going to turn me into a Puella Magi and make me fight the tortured remnants of the souls of teenage girls while struggling to keep myself alive and stave off the heat death of the universe, right?"

I get the joke, poor sayaka...

I would wish for unlimited video games. Can't really be fucked up because its simple, yet effective.

Then you get crushed by an infinite tide of videogames.

You haven't thought this through, have you?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Fine, I wish for one, single, Rolex watch of my choice to be given to me for free by the ghost of Abe Lincoln.
MESS THAT ONE UP

he could jam it through you ofcourse

But Abe Lincoln isn't a douchebag, he would never do such a thing.

Of course, but I thought the point was to misinterprate my wish. If the genie can just alter the world as he wishes afterwards there is nothing meaningful to wish for.

 

[llew]

i'd ask for a really nice sandwhich, how on this planet could he fuck me with that wish?

 

[StBishop]

Hire a lawyer to word my wish so specifically there is no way he can turn it around.

its the theory of fighting an arsehole with an even bigger arsehole, = win

Ninja'd.

I'd basically want, through a very specific set of circumstances, a fuck tonne of money. Would make my life easier.

 

[Blemontea]

Two 40 degree Fahrenheit coca cola, and you and only you could no longer grant wishes.

Their i got to chilled cokes and saved the world from an idiot screwing us all over.

He would fill up the entire universe with high school musical games.

Make a giant living sandwhich that treats everyone niceky but accidently stomps on people all the time.

 

[similar.squirrel]

'Asshole Genie' sounds like a particularly inventive euphemism for flatulence.

 

[Use_Imagination_here]

I'd ask him to make me omnipotent. And than I'd make him disappear.

other: make a grand wish and hope that the asshole genie acts like one

i wish no one will ever (have to) be hungry again (thanks for the idea, heeheehee... > )
