Change the text in 2.2 Wish Fulfillment that currently reads:
The Djinn Must look at each wish and a) determine whether or not he will grant the wish, and, if he decides to grant the wish, b) reduce the Wishes of the adventurer who made the wish by 1 and perform the results of the wish.
to read instead:
The Djinn Must look at each wish and a) determine whether or not he will grant the wish, and, if he decides to grant the wish, b) reduce the Wishes of the adventurer who made the wish by 1 and perform the results of the wish. Any wish that does not include an explicit timeframe in which the request is to be granted shall be deemed to be requested for immediate enactment.
There’s an old saying in Baghdad — I know it’s in Samarkand, probably in Baghdad — that says, fool DC once, shame on — shame on you. Fool DC — you can’t get fooled again.
This could go on forever (“you wished for a million dollars right now but didn’t say how long you wanted to keep them for!” ... “but didn’t specify BlogNomic rather than Monopoly!” ... “but didn’t specify base 10!”) - it’s all very amusing and thematic and impossible to legislate against, but in no way is it a fun game.
