Well, how do we play?

Patience is a virtue...

I was typing the rules up while you made your post...  >_>

I'm not sure if this FBG already exists in this forum, but here are the rules:

1. You make a wish
2. The next person grants it, but there's a side-effect that he/she posts.  The next person then posts a wish, in the same post.

For example...

(Player 1): I wish I had $100.
(Player 2): You get the equivalent of $100, in Japanese Yen.  I wish I had a stereo.
(Player 3): The stereo doesn't come with batteries or a power cord.  I wish my computer could store 5 terabytes of data.

And so on...

I'll start us off: I wish I had a magic sword.

The sword will not leave your hand until you defeat an opponent in battle or a challenge.

I wish my cat could talk.

Your cat can only talk in Icelandic.

I wish I could teleport

You can only teleport once every 48 hours, and then only to a maximum range of 200m.

I wish I had a supercomputer.

You get one, but it it gets all emo on you and destroys the world

I wish I had someone to cook for me

You get food poisoning every meal

I wish i had a 30gig Zune

It has awful battery life.

You can only eat an amount that equals 0.00439 Calories

I wish that my wish wouldn't get corrupted.

I wish that Tangler was near 1.0 sometime soon.

Granted but Tangler gets shut down 2 days before that.

I wish my dad will let me skip school again tomorrow.

You do, but only because the teacher's are on strike. Why is it bad? The bully who hates you as much as you hate him doesn't live far from you, and he goes over to your house, pretends to be your friend just to fool your mum, and manages to beat you up.

I wish I had a better computer.

I wish my Greasemonkey scripts wouldn't screw up on me.

Hey..what about my post??

@Jason: You change your mind and thinks that those buddies that were great aren't so great anymore.

@Ruune: They don't, but Greasemonkey are updated. And you know what happens sometimes when stuff are updated. (Changed API, fresh bugs, etc...)

I wish that I knew more Python that print = "Hello world!"

Jason, I don't think I saw your post when I made mine.  I'd better do one for you.

The buds are too amazing and other people always take them from you.  Despite having a never-ending supply, you can never get your hands on one.

As for Natanael's post, I'm...  not sure what your wish is.  I mean, you started off with "I wish I knew more python that" and then you either put in some nonsense or edited your original post to replace the ending with nonsense.  Well...  it is a corrupted wish...  I guess.

Your Python starts to ERROR!  ERROR!

I wish your wish made sense.

it does, but it's so bizarre that your head explodes.

(thanks for reviving this game, this is the one that brought me to tangler in the first place. jason hasn't been around in a while, i'll let him know about your post)

i wish had the time to read an entire book.

(Python = scripting/programming language, and "that" was supposed to be "than")

You get the time, but you can't focus on the book.

I wish that people could understand how extremely intelligent I am... (I am quite smart, but sometimes people don't understand me...)

they do, but only because now, they are even smarter than you....so you are dumb, by comparison.

i wish nat would find someone who appreciates how smart and funny he is and realizes how cool that is.

Your wish is fulfilled. Nat' will never bother chatting with you again now.

I wish that this was less fun.

impossible.

(i didn't mean that i am not someone who appreciates how smart and funny and cool you are, i do)

i wish i didn't have so many important, yet extremely unpleasant, things i need to be doing right now, instead of tangling.

Wish granted.You'll never get anything important to do ever again. You are now like totally unimportant and nobody care.

(LOL)

I wish that I had more time at my laptop.

Granted. You now spend all your time at the lappie, but you don't have in internet connection.... and you lose your power cord

I wish I had a camera which could record images exactly as I see them in my head

granted, but you slowly realize that you have an extremely distorted and unpleasant view of the world and everyone who looks at your photos (including yourself) starts vomiting violently.

i wish i wasn't so nervous about starting my new class.

You aren't. But the teacher is so nervous, the first class is a disaster!

I wish I could afford a personal masseuse

you can but this is him:

You do, but MS sues you for paying to little for it and you end up in jail for life. (USE OPENOFFICE! http://www.openoffice.org/ )

I wish I knew how to set up DSL on my USB-stick.

Granted. You now know how to do it, but you can't find a single flash drive big enough.

I wish Natanael wasn't so obsessed with setting up Linux on his USB stick

granted, but the now you can't get the idea out of your head, and you becoome twice as obsessed.

i wish i could use open office, but my school uses ms office 2003 and i have to use what's compatible (i have office 2002)>

Granted.  You may now use Open Office, but only in a classroom full of nothing but guys who look like Alfred E. Neuman.

I wish I could be more tolerant of the 98% of the people on the planet who don't have a clue.

you are, but now they can't stand  you.

i wish i could afford to go to a restaurant tonight....................make that every night.

Granted.....but the only restaurant you can go to is McDonald's.

I wish I could win the lottery so I could share all the money with my friends and those less fortunate.

granted, but you miscalculate your funds and those less fortunate become waaaay more fortunate than you......and they aren't as generous.

i wish i could speak several langua
