Wish Linguistics

[Sava]

"you aren't paying anything for it" is a horrendous argument

[rah]

Maybe,
But I'm a believer that you always pay a price.

[Main_Brain]

As Genies are Dicks/ My Wishgranting:
Step 1)You become a child
Step 2) Your Name is now, as your Fathers and Grandfathers: Bit, Bit Thaller.
To avoid confusion People around Town just call you little Bit Thaller.

From this I suppose we can conclude that Sava supports slavery (or at the very least, he's against slaves being uppity).

[rah]

Now that may be a stretch.

If you're always paying a price, then your argument doesn't apply. Nothing is ever free.

[Garth Vader]

there's a certain amount of due diligence that is required

if you went to home depot and asked for a door, can they just give you any door they choose and take your money?

That's pretty much what happens when you try and get a door from home depot.
Similar to when I wanted to buy one of propane tanks they had on display in the parking lot. The guy I asked didn't know what propane, or a BBQ was.

I try not to shop at home depot anymore.

Taking a risk to me is paying a price.
That's why I think there should be one.

I'm only for slavery if:

a. I'm part of the ruling class

and to a lesser extent:

b. I'm the only member of the ruling class

I've yet to hear someone explain why the existence of bad-faith wish results should be allowed...

beyond the use of circular logic

This is why the wish fulfilment comes with a 1000 page contract, aka selling your own soul.

The question amounts to:

should things be better? or worse?


It boggles my mind that anyone would want things to be worse. But as this thread proves, people seem content with inferior results.

Quite frankly, the issue of wish results and genie behavior is an intelligence test.

In D&D, genies are ontologically Lawful Evil. If they didn't give bad-faith wish results, then they wouldn't be genies.

[Sava]

enough of your anti-genieite propaganda

Yeah, as Lori said (and he said it better than me), I qualified my answer that it was based on my D&D days. I never said that it was good or bad, just what a creative dungeon master did.
