A tricksy elf must grant you a wish, but you know for a fact that he'll twist it around if he can if your not precise...for example, the man who wished he had a forgien car dealership and woke up selling Fords in Japan...

The wish must be for one thing, and one sentence.

The rest of us will try to knock holes in your wish... :lol:

I would like a book with one thousand pages, in which I write a question, close the book and when I open it the answer is there in 7th grade 20th Century American style English in black 6 point ink on the same page that I wrote the question so I can I understand it, and with warnings in bullet points of things that might cause me or my friends and family harm or other unforseen events that may cause me or my friends and family harm and footnotes on how best to advoid said harm and that my eyesite remain 20/20 and that if lost the book will return to me.

That really does stretch the terms of 'one sentence' to the absolute limit, haha.

Edit: Granted, but whenever you close the book the ink smudges so the question's answer is rendered nonsensical as the book struggles to make sense of the illegible blots.

I wish I would be assassinated in an undeniably cool way.

Granted - but no one will see it or know of it.
(the assassin will die before word of his deed gets out).


I wish for something unpredictable to happen. :p

What? Getting a wish from a Tricksy Elf wasn't unpredictiable enough? Sheesh, some folk just can't be impressed.

Dusti - please don't double post. It's not allowed at RPG-D. You could have easily added that to your first post. Cool idea, however.

Granted, Rae. Nothing happens. (Betcha didn't predict that :p)

I wish I could adopt two children - one Chinese girl and one African (of some sort) boy; aged about two months to six months, both healthy and without mental or physical defects at all and of a healthy intelligence - and that my husband and I would together have guardianship over them and that they would live in our house.

Ok they are little brats, completley unbehaved and drive you and your partner to divorce because it was your stupid idea to adopt the little buggers in the first place! :angry:

I wish every critic and publisher loved my work and it made me millions.

Granted- but then you get involved in gambling and lose your money and reputation. Whoops :p

I wish for world peace.

Granted - Congratulations, you've started WWIII!

Once the radioactive dust settles, the World is very, very peaceful. Because there's nothing left to cause a ruckus.



I wish for a small, marble-sized crystal of average weight, texture, temperature, scent, etc, that when held, heals any wound of the possessor, without causing any form of harm or defect, be it physical or psychological.

Granted -- but you drop it and it shatters into dust. :[

I wish I knew my vocab words.

You learn your vocab words, but then get a concussion causing you to forget them.

I want an elf who has every single attribute of the tricksy elf except for his tricksy nature, and whom will give me five wishes, and whom is in no danger from any source whatsoever, and whom feels that it is his life duty to make me happy and will undo any wish that I specifically state that I wish undone, and whom will always be around to hear me undo any wish, and who will reimburse me with another wish should I undo a prior wish.

Granted; unfortunately just as your elf appears your doppelganger walks by and the elf follows him/her instead and gives them all your wishes.

I wish that my writing was good, that people were interested in it and appreciated it for being good, fairly wholesome work and that it earned me a lot of money without me ever doing something to lose my reputation or something happening so that I can't write or that people don't want to buy my work.

too bad very few people appreciate good literature, and "good" literature is dependent on the individual reading its opinion - and on the money issue.. i predict there will be a hyper-inflation of all currencies in the world soon, so all the money you make from this book is worth the amount of a single cent. plus, good reputations are redundant and clichè.

i wish for the ability to be creative enough to come up with a decent wish.

Granted, but now that you have that ability the elf refuses to grant you another wish so you are unable to utilise your new found creativity.

I wish for MORE COWBELL!

Granted, however you get so much cowbell you go insane from the constant banging untill you decide to end your torment with an ice pick to your eardrums.

I wish something comically tragic happens to that damn tricksy elf!

Granted, but during the wonderful multi-stage pratfall the elf dies in a highly amuseing way and the folks who were next get up a posse to kill you.

I wish I was allgery free.

Granted, the elf encases you in an air tight, hypoallergenic bubble, you suffocate.

I wish Monica Beluchi was madly in love with me!

I wish that I was no longer afraid of storms.

Granted, you're in the middle of a field and a lightning storm begins brewing but you sit still because you refuse to be afraid of storms. You get struck by 50 bolts of lightning and your eyes boil out of their sockets.

I wish the elf sees the error of his ways and offers me unlimited wishes that don't backfire on me, guaranteed.

The elf ceases to exist before you get your wish.

I wish to die.

(Haha, how are you going to screw that up?)

Granted. Once you are dead you are reincarnated with all of your memories and personality in tact.

I wish to have the elf's powers so that I may grant my own wishes at any time I chose.

You receive the elf's powers. However, you do not receive the knowledge of how to use the elf's powers, and therefore it is as though nothing has changed.

I wish that nothing should change as a result of the elf's works.

Damn you! Lol

Granted. Absolutely nothing changes. It's as if you hadn't even made the wish.

Ehm. Spiral, you're supposed to make your wish ^_^

Also - granted, Arakis (because I thought of something). The elf does nothing - but your worst enemy comes along, brutally tortures you for 50 years and then kills you. Haha!

I wish I liked Japanese food.

I wish for unlimated wishes :lol:

You're supposed to corrupt the previous one, but anyway.

Granted, you like Japanese food, but unfortunately develop an allergy to it. You eat some choice morsel and choke to death.

Granted, the elf puts you in a time loop, so you are forced to repeat the wish for unlimited wishes over and over and over...

I wish people would stop calling me a terrorist at school.

Yeah sorry about that x.x

Granted, but then you actually become a terrorist and all of their words end up being true.

I wish I was greatly talented at everything I attempted to do other than causing myself pain or doing anything that would ruin my image or mind.

Granted! ...but then you become fully paralyzed.


well, y'know what? I wish my wishes could not be corrupted or twisted in any way.

Granted, but your wishes don't help you in any way either.


I wish I had some chicken soup~

granted- but its your only food, full of mould and there is only enough left for a thimbleful.

i wish sunday hadn't gotten around my wish. XD

Granted, but then you forget to re-wish.

I wish I could find a decent proboards skin for my 1920's RP because it's totally putting me off building it...

I want a sandwich.

You now have a sandwich: your own kidney, sliced, between pieces of rye toast.

I'd like to go to Italy.

Cool. You are now in Italy. You're also in slices, being BBQd by a group of ravenous children.

I wish I had another sandwich. MADE OF POWER TOOLS.

Fair enough.
Your Black and Decker power saw sandwich is ready for you, and after biting it: the result is something worse than a Happy Tree Friends cartoon.

I wish I could go to America.

Wish granted. Unfortunately for a lot of people, the American economy has just crashed and every single person in America has emigrated to China. Have fun!

Oh, and Dusti (because Munch didn't do it right :p) your wish is granted, but the moment you find the perfect skin you forget every idea for RPs you have ever had and are unable to think of another one - putting to waste the perfect skin because you haven't got a board to go with it.

I wish my job was a water-slide test pilot and that I got paid lots of money to test safe water-slides.

Granted. You fire out of the first tube at Mach 220, creating a second Grand Canyon in the moon.

I wish I could reach over the internet and stab people in the face at will.

Wish granted. But the problem with creating an internet gateway is that it is two ways. Whilst you are sharpening your rusty bread knife, someone you insulted comes through the internet and carves you a new set of nostrils!

I wish for ultimate knowledge

I grant you ultimate knowledge--of tree frog mating habits. Have fun.

I wish I had a way of making sure I never lost my cell phone.

Wish granted: you accidentally superglue it to your butt.

I wish my room was warmer.
