Wishes granted

Ok, some new granted wishes and me explaining one of them, as it directly effects another persons wish.

First, Rune Master wished for the header to revert back to how it was at the start, so if someone can do that thanks.

Second wish was Kev wishing that he had been at Funafuti for 23hrs, 59mins and 59 secs already. This causes him to have been at Funafuti for over 24hrs(as by now the 2 seconds left have come and gone), allowing him to claim the relics. This gets around another wish made that in the event that I had to pick between 2 or more Adventurers that I had to always pick the person who made the wish. Kevs wish effectively made him beat the 24hr timer ahead of everyone else, meaning that I didn’t have to pick between people. Either way, Kev’s wish and the other wish, who I’m sure you can all figure out who made it, were very creative.

Kevan’s wish doesn’t work. Even though he’d been at Funafuti for almost 24 hours already, the relics hadn’t, so they weren’t in the same place for 24 hours.

Relics are awarded, by the Djinn, to any Adventurer whose location is the same as the hiding place (the Djinn’s decision on whether or not this has taken place is final) for more than 24 continuous hours

The rule doesn’t say that the relics have to be there 24hrs, just the adventurer.

Yes, but Funafuti hasn’t been the hiding place for 24 hours.

Yes it does; the locations aren’t the same for 24 hours if one of them was different earlier. The locations can’t be the same for 24 hours if one of them was different earlier.

By my interp of the rule, it says that the adventurer has to be there 24hrs. By my interp, Kev used a loophole in the rule, as the wording doesn’t say that the hiding place has to be set for 24hrs. Either way, I have already awarded Kev the relics and as the rule states, that is final.

Ah, I’ve already reverted it; and as rule 1.7 says, someone now has to call a CFJ in order to rerevert. (Note that it seems legal for a wish to retroactively revert your discretion while the CFJ happens; this could get very messy very quickly). I don’t see how, grammatically, though, you can have a difference between the Adventurer’s location being the same as the hiding place’s, and the hiding place’s location being the same as the Adventurer’s.

I’d “rereverted” before reading this comment. Rule 1.7 doesn’t mean that further reversion is impossible, only that a CfJ has to be issued as a side effect.
