Wishes granted

Ok, I’ve granted the following people the following wishes:

tecslicer: Wished for his power to go up by 10 twice, giving him 18 power and 2 corup.

Bucky+AL: Buckys wish was a rather unique one, as he wished for the next granted wish to be changed to read “make buckys power 18” instead of what it really said (nothing in the rules says ya can mess with wishes like that) causing AL’s wish, to make his power 18, to benefit Bucky.

Lars: 2 wishes granted, one on a time delay and the 2nd changes the header. I don’t remember if Lars made the current one or knows how to change it. If he doesn’t I can send the new one to someone who does.

Damn you, Lars. The current header is awesome.

Oh I don’t know, I think I might have made an improvement.  I don’t know how to change it though.

I love it, and so does my wife. It is perfect. That is great wishing.

Nice header. Also, the ruleset seems to conflict. The first paragraph of 2.2 says ‘the Djinni may only alter gamestate when fulfilling wishes, as permitted elsewhere in the ruleset’, implying that legal wishes must be spelled out as legal in the rules; however, it then says, in 2.2 paragraph 2, ‘The Djinn is supposed to, to the best of his ability, grant all wishes legally requested of him by an Adventurer’, which might imply otherwise. What do people think?

I think the first paragraph means “when fulfilling wishes, (the ones that are permitted elsewhere in the ruleset)”

Yes, but does the first paragraph (implying that legal wishes must be spelled out) or the second (implying that only restrictions on wishes need be spelled out) apply?

The full sentence you’re quoting says “The Djinni may only alter gamestate when fulfilling wishes, as permitted elsewhere in the ruleset, or in the course of normal admin duties.” My intended interpretation was to list the three times the Djinni may alter gamestate.

Nothing in the rules, by my reading, requires all legal wishes to be spelled out.

I don’t get the joke in the new header.

I don’t either. Maybe we should read up on our history.

it is Bill Cosby, for those of you that did not grow up watching him, and he is the bomb.

Yes, but he is not in himself a joke.

Simple absurdist humor, no?
