A Genie Hypothetical

Postby Free Arabian Nation » Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:02 am

I haven't seen this thread yet so I am gonna post it here.

You're in Arabia, wandering the deserts of nearby Damascus when you come across an old oil lamp. Seeing a weird engraving on it, you rub it to find a very western-style genie come from it. This Genie, grateful that you have released him from his torment stuck in the lamp, has decided to grant you three wishes. The only rules are that you cannot wish for more, no killing people, no forcing people to fall in love, reviving the dead, nor wish for something that will cause the rules to become ineffective. What would you wish for?

Honestly, I would need to decide, but off the top of my head I would wish to be so persuasive that I can convince even the most stubborn being in the universe to do anything, I would also wish for a credit card with unlimited credit/money (and won't break the economy at the same time), and I would also wish for a sandwich... yeah, I was pretty hungry writing this thread. But what say you NSG?

My first wish will involve some way of getting the fuck out of Syria.

The second wish involves turning the genie into an adonis, with everything generously proportioned and turning him homo. But, let's be honest with ourselves, the genie is already going to be a flaming homo, so the latter will be unnecessary.

The third wish will be for several different houses in prime locations around the world with a constant trickle of money for me and the genie to live with.

I wouldn’t wish for anything. I’d bury the lamp deep in the sands so that the genie may suffer for thousands of more years. And then I’d perish in the desert, so nobody else should know he exists.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

If I have to suffer than he does too.

As I understand it, that really only works on one or two people, and at close range.

Look... you're not seeing the comedic potential in this. Imagine how much more entertaining the State of the Union would have been, if I had been in the audience.

1. Dev tools/cheat menu
2. Shapeshifting
3. Immortality

I'd run around the world being a little spirit basically, it'd be real great.

I feel like with the first one, the next two are a bit redundant. Just turn on godmode.

I don't know if life has a character creation menu to the same level that I'd want one to be, you know what the devs are like. As for immortality, just a bit of redundancy for safety's sake.

1) To be perfectly physically healthy with no alteration to my current mental state or capacity.
2) Monte Cristo to be real and along the same political lines as Monaco (i.e. sovereign microstate) with me, and my heirs in turn, to be the immensely wealthy, powerful and influential Counts/Countesses thereof.
3) This is dependnt upon the answer to “Hey Genie, you want to be free?” If, for whatever reason, s/he chooses not to be, I’ll keep the wish for after a long think. I’d probably be soft and wish for world peace or some bollocks.

That persuasion thing sounds like a good idea, actually.

Then for my second wish I'll just persuade the genie to give me a genie lamp.

Thus the cycle begins.

I'd go with the bollocks.

I would wish for:
Infinite money
World peace
To not have any effects of ageing, even though I will still die at the same time I would have.

1. I wish that every deceased being in the history of any universes that exist - including retroactively - gets their personal ideal afterlife. (Technically not bringing anyone back from the dead.)

2. I wish that humanity and its descendants overcome their limitations and expand to encompass the universe, defeating entropy and allowing all living things total personal freedom.

3. I wish I lived to see #2.

Immortality and unlimited persuasive ability, and I'll keep the lamp and use the third wish if I think of something later.
