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.

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.

She sure does become the Admin...

But then, you realize, Sleuthgirl Ciara is Admin!! Oh, the horror! No more fixing bugs. No more new stuff. Nothing but (admittedly hilarious :) ramblings about Marc. Short. For. March. Yeah.

I wish Noir was more active. And powerful, whatever that means.

I know, I know, it gets so active, I can't play no more. Less predictability, more corruption! Stat!

Nope, no such luck. Sleuth does get more active, but only the tiniest bit. Now, when you check to see who is logged on, there are 4 detectives instead of the 3 you are used to seeing. The net effect is so small, you really don't even notice the difference. But hey, so what! You keep coming back because for you, girl, it is about the quality, not quantity. Ane you know it doesn't get any better than ... that's right! Yours truly! And you know one thing for sure. "I'll be back."

I wish Sleuth Noir had a noticably larger and more active community, and I once again felt all the excitement and joy that I did when I first started my agency. I can't even recruit a cleaning person anymore.

"Noticeably larger and more active" --Pah, way to steal a girl's question! At least, it wasn't too corrupted...

It's all in the details, my dear.

Btw, how DID you get to be a detective?

Still, to keep the peace, I offer another wish - that the Cleveland Browns have a winning season this year. The wait has been extreme.
