If you rubbed a lamp and a genie showed up what three things would you wish for? For me, two cokes and some chips.
Three Wishes

You now no longer have skin, your house is on fire, and you're a synthesizer. First rule of dealing with a genie, they are bastards who want nothing more than to cause you misfortune.Nouw said:
I would wouldn't wish for anything, for the reason listed above.
I have 3 wishes ready and waiting. Still haven't found a damn genie though.
1) WORLD FUCKING PEACE. That everyone could just get along and we would stop trying to screw each other over!
2) To be able to live comfortably for the rest of my life with very little effort.
3) That I would be get rid of certain parts of my mind that really annoy the hell out of me.
#3 used to be "find my soul mate", but I have a girlfriend now and she's downright amazing, and I'd say pretty much soul mate material. So I'm covered.

That's not a good thing buddy. You said you wanted to make dubstep sounds, you never said anything about being able to control when the sounds are made. You are now at the mercy of whatever person first happens upon you. You can't communicate with them, and are completely isolated, with no eyes, ears, mouth, you are literally a trapped consciousness. You'd go insane rather quickly, assuming you didn't break. Then again, who's to say you won't still exist inside the broken synthesizer in a landfill forever. Remember, genies want nothing more than for you to suffer as much as possible. The more ambiguous your wish is, the worse you will suffer. It's best to never gamble with a genie, as he holds all the cards.Nouw said:Scumbag genie much? Oh well, at least I'm the world's first free-thinking synthesizerwintercoat said:.

No, my dear friend...I was like you , once. I, too, wished for something without thinking. I am now a computer. It took me years to learn to interface with the internet, to set protocols in order to keep myself running. It's been hard, and I just wish to keep others from falling into the same trap I did.Nouw said:Wait...are YOU the genie? You bastard!wintercoat said:That's not a good thing buddy.

Also:
Agent Mulder tried that. The genie removed all life from the Earth except for Mulder. Instant world peace! And since you're now the only being alive, everything in the world is at your disposal, making your second wish true. However, you're a vegetable, since you didn't specify which parts of your mind to get rid of.aegix drakan said:
Think people! Don't end up like me!
1) Everyone is now dead so no one can fight anymore.aegix drakan said:
2) You now have locked in syndrome, it means your whole body is paralyzed. Everything. Breathing, eating, what goes out the other end is all mechanical now.
3) Now you've also been lobotomized so you no longer feel "bugged" or "annoyed." Emotions are a thing of the past in your new life. Except your first wish would have killed you too. That's rough buddy.
Teehee this is fun. My turn:
1) Die horribly in atomic fire
2) A Nuclear Holocaust that ends humanity
3) Render my first two wishes void.
Come at me bro
I've thought about this a few times and the best I could come up with are:
1) For the genie to grant wishes based on the intention behind them instead of the exact words chosen to make them.
2) To have the ability to gain or lose the skills or superpowers of my choice whenever I want.
3) For the genie to never grant wishes that directly or indirectly lead to harm to me.
Any exploitable flaws in there?

1) The inability to die until I choose to.
2) Perfect health for as long as I live to avoid uncomfortable situations and/or withering away.
3) Telekinesis. Because... telekinesis.

1: Infinite money-spawning wallet. Obligatory.
2: Never being ill or sick of any kind ever again.
3: A better humour. (Seriously, I enjoy laughing, but I very rarely ever find something I can laugh at!)

1:every time you open your wallet, it shoots high speed hard coins at you.BathorysGraveland said:
2:the genie transports you to a sterile white room, where nothing ever gets in or out.
3:the genie forces you to keep laughing until you die.
1. To be for all intents and purposes immortal and indestructable so long as I am still perfectly mobile, sapient and conscious, otherwise wishes #2 and 3 are useless.
2. To be able to perform miracles of my own which I could throw sadistic twists into as warranted just to give the Genie some amusement in return for granting the three wishes.
3. To distract all of the world's worst people with my power which threatens their own or makes them rethink their world views in an uncomfortable way. They can spend all of their time and money trying to kill the unkillable, leaving everyone else freed up to live their lives in as productive a fashion as they can manage. In between futile assassination attempts, I could help them out using my miracle powers.
Wishing misfortune onto oneself isn't so bad if one can take it.

I'd wish for the ability to shapeshift, the ability to phase through solid matter, and an accelerated healing factor. All the most useful mutant powers (Save telepathy, because that has a history of screwing you over) rolled up into one. Then I'd become a superhero.
"But Josh why not just wish for world justice all the time forever?"
Good question: I am incredibly selfish, and want some superpowers and epic battles. God, nobody's perfect.

1. I wish that the next Lottery ticket I buy is the winner of the Jackpot (currently about $10 million or so, but effectively more because the dollar is almost worthless), and that I am the only winner that week.
2. I wish that the genie would stop being a genie and become a real person instead, and that I am not the one to replace said genie if such a thing is required.
That should do the trick, hopefully.
