    Default Unlimited Wishes with Limits

    Some supernatural cosmic or god-liek entity thinks it would be fun to play a game with you.

    The game goes like this:

    Each day you get one wish granted. No strings attached save for the natural outcome of that wish

    If you decide that the wish you made isn't working out, you can undo that wish but you forfeit the wish you could have made that day as a trade-off.

    You can't NOT play the game, every day you must either make a wish, or undo the wish from the day before.

    You Can Not Simply Wish to be free from the Game, that would be cheating.

    You Can Not Simply Wish harm to the entity who started you on this game, or use your wish to get him/her to never start the game.


    You Win if you can find another way to free yourself from the game

    You Lose if your wishes destroys you and/or the planet and/or life on the planet


    ------------ Can you find a way to win this game?

    Not apply to whom? Okay, I left a loop hole by mistake. Can patch that hole up and try again. Good you caught it

    So long as you keep it small or lost anyway, there is literally no downside to this. Something like, wish I had the bitcoin account of the guy in the news who tossed his bitcoin computer in the dumpster, or, in low days, I wish to have that item in the shelf appear in the table in front of me.

    I'm happy to have a wish each day. On days I don't need anything, I could always wish for a gold coin or to restore an old book.

    Is there a downside to not even remotely playing to win?

    I have infinite wishes. If I win, I won't have any wishes anymore. Why would I even want to win?

    My first wish is that all my future wishes don't have negative consequences.

    Yeah, what's with all these nice scenarios?

    What happened to attempts at traumatizing awkwardness?

    What happened to the morally challenging choices?

    Where's my bathos?

    Have you checked in your bathosroom?

    Or do you only have a showeros?

    (BTW - I love seeing the word ‘bathos’ used. It’s vastly under-utilised.)

    I accept the wish game. I am a simple guy with simple needs, should not be World breaking.

    Ok, lets see what we can do... I wish for 1 million dollars... do I wait for a response?
    The Recipe for Disaster asks for Blasphemy, but as for me, ask for me, I give it gravity.

    I can't make customized scenarios tailored to taking your sunshine away, if I don't know what your sunshine is.

    I love these "A winrar is you" scenarios, because I can use the data to properly prepare the Ubermensch scenarios.
