This is a very simple and fun game. The first person makes a wish, and each following person finds some way to corrupt the wish and then makes a new wish. For example:

Person 1. I wish I had a dog

Person 2. You have a dog, but it dies the day after you get it

I wish I had a muffin

Person 3: You get a muffin, but you drop it and have to throw it away.

And so on.

Your firt wish to corrupt is this:

I wish I had a new car.

Your roommates are now acting their age. Unfortunately their ages are now two, fourteen and ninety-seven. You're not sure which is worse: the tantrums when it's time to get dressed, the fact the teenager hasn't washed for three weeks and has forgotten human speech, or the way the false teeth in a glass seem to leer at you from across the room. You've bruised your shins falling over the walking frame, there's a sock on the couch which seems to be developing life forms, and you've just discovered what appears to be mashed banana on your keyboard. Euch.


I wish I had a rain-repelling force field.

Granted. Poof!!! You do have a rain repelling force field, however the rain bounces up so high into the atmosphere it comes back down as snow....three times the volume. You are subsequently trapped in an avalanch as it falls off the roof of your front porch.

I wish all the geese in the pond across the street would lay golden eggs on my lawn.

All the geese in the pond across the street are laying eggs in your lawn, too bad it's fool's gold eggs.

I wish that I had another blanket.

Granted. You have another blanket.
And another, and another, and another, ...
Cocoon anyone? Take a very, very long nap.

I wish it I would have a great day fishing.

You sure do, that is, until you get eaten up by a shark, because you wanted to go fish in the ocean. Big mistake.

I wish there were no exams in the world (not talking about school stuff alone...) though, seriously imagine it. Go on. Imagine it.

There are no more exams in the world, none of those nasty test things any more. They've been officially banned.

Five years later road traffic accidents have gone up by 110% as it's now not possible to test learner drivers before issuing them a licence. People also no longer have to pass exams before working as a doctor, and there are some pretty alarming stories coming out of the hospitals. You take your gerbil to the vet, but you're not too sure how much the person at the vet's surgery actually knows about animal medicine as your gerbil is now a strange green colour and keep hiccuping. Your cousin Ernie always said he wanted to be a pilot, despite having all the spatial awareness of a small cushion, and you've vowed never to get in an aeroplane again.

I wish we had a fully furnished guest room.

Granted! You get a fully furnished guest room, equipped with plush sofas that can be folded and unfolded to accommodate more people, a flat screen plasma TV with a superb sound system, and a very well stocked fridge. Not to mention, an adjoining bathroom, state of the art.

But you're a fantastic detective. And fantastic detectives have lots of enemies. You become more and more isolated and reclusive and anti-social.

And you have no guests to invite over.

I wish that you could shop for anything online. Excellent, prompt, reliable and trustworthy, and not pocket burningly expensive services.

Me too! But hey, it's your wish and you get it. You enjoy it soooo much that you can't stop ordering. And the bills begin to pile up. So you start buying lottery tickets by the suitcase full. And they come - reliablly prompt and costing face value. Unfortunately, (you just knew this was coming - admit it), you don't win because the odds don't change, and they ain't good. Soon you lose everything, including your computer and the ability to buy online, or anywhere for that matter.

Debtors prison for you.

I wish the US Congress would repeal all their rules and regulations. Time to throw out the trash and start over.

ZAP!! One li'l ol' bolt of lightning from the god(s) above, and suddenly, Congress finally gets their act together. "Let's get on the ball, and start the whole thing over again!!" they cry. Suddenly, the President wakes up from his mid-morning nap. "Y'mean they're actually goin' to DO something??" The people rejoice, and throw parades in every city and town in the country!! While Congress goes on an unprecented overhaul, and repeals *EVERY* law they've ever passed, there's joy throughout the country!! Maybe something will actually get DONE around here. FINALLY!!!!! ;-D ;-D ;-D

Next week...

Umm, small problem people.

Since there are no more laws (remember, Congress renounced ALL laws. That means there's no more states. And no more state laws to go with 'em.), the anarchists move in to set up shop. The cops are powerless to stop 'em since there aren't any laws around anymore. Oops.

Even bigger problem, people....

Since all those parades were thrown, trash has been piling up in every street of every town, city, and village in the country. And since there's no more monetary system, environmental laws, labor laws, or business laws, there's no more trash collectors to pick up all that garbage. Hope y'all like it stinky. ;-D

I wish Murphy's law didn't exist. ;-D

Breit you're a tough nut to crack. How to corrupt that one, hmmm? Ok I'll try. Murphy's Law is if something can go wrong, it will. That law no longer exists. It is instead replaced by Scruffy's Law: when you least expect something to go wrong, it will.

So the client is no longer guilty, for players who've just started the game.

But you thought that there couldn't possibly be a hike in those exorbitant bribes or a fall in those meagre case rewards? That would be stupid, right? Well, that does happen. Now an Almost Impossible case pays barely 800$ but you have to shell out bribes of 600$ to all townies who permanently clam.

I wish Sleuthgirl Ciara could be admin for a few days.
