Ancient Lamp?

[Teva]

No, it was just an idea I just came up with. I'd wish to become my own genie, in service of myself. Grant my wishes, and then since I'm my own genie granting my own wishes, I'd have no limit as to how many wishes I got, and shit. And when I feel done, I'd wish myself to no longer BE a genie

Ah but you could just as easily wish to have an unlimited amount of wishes thus making it sort of pointless to WISH to be a genie for your own self-gratification. Plus., aren't genies only allowed to grant wishes to other people . . .?

 

[Munky]

You'd have to put up with all sorts of people trying to rub your lamp tho'. They'd be grabbing at you, trying to nab your wishes. Otherwise, it's a good plan.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Well I can't wish for infinite wishes and thus, thats why I'd wish to be my own genie.

If that doesn't work, I'd wish to be split into two copies of myself. Then I'd wish for the copy to be my own personal genie that can grant me any wish I want ad infinitum because he's only mine and is also a part of me but also separate.

Thus I'd have split myself in two...one being a genie, and one being a normal man who can reap the wishes.

Sounds a tad selfish to me but very clever I'll admit.

[Max Payne]

It's not clever at all considering the restricted freedoms of a genie.

Try again mako lol split into two wtf.

 

[Makoeyes987]

If only part of me is restricted as a genie, and the other half can reap the wishes, that's cool with me. When I'm summarily satisfied with my godhood granted wishes, I can then wish for my genie-self to be freed and made apart of me and thus I'd be set.

 

[Max Payne]

You would still only have 3 wishes. You can't change the rules.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Okay, even if I still only had three wishes, I'd still have the original genie's 2 wishes, and then my genie-self to give me 3 wishes. If I intend to return the new genie back to my main body, then that means I have to use 1 wish for that, so the whole thing would net me an additional one wish, going by your reasoning of it still only being able to grant me 3 wishes, despite the fact it would also be a part of me and would summarily say "Fuck the rules, let's rule the universe."

So I still think that's a good loophole I thought of.

 

[Max Payne]

You're a tard.

 

[Cthulhu]

I'd ask for a few thousaaand flunkies that do my every bidding, and bid them to re-rub the lamp and do them wishes.

I still have two wishes, but get everything I want. I'd wish for a beer for my second wish.

You know if you wanted complete godhood, you could've just wished to become a god and call it a day. You wouldn't even have to wish for anything since you rule over it all anyway. You'd own EVERYTHING since you created it, but I took it so . . .

Also your post confused me.

 

[Makoeyes987]

HOLY SHIT, CTHULHU gave me a good idea.

If I wish for the ability to mind control others, like I said before, then I'd just merely mind control people to take the lamp next and thus make wishes to serve my benefit and thus I can use the lamp by proxy and thus gain any and all things that I so desire.

Epic idea is epic

@Teva

I don't want to be a god. I just want to be something akin to...a demi-god.

Being a full blown god would get boring.

Well I'm still a god technically, assuming my wish is granted (figuratively speaking) so your whole wish thing wouldn't affect me. I'm omnipotent.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Well if you were somehow in the way of me achieving my wishes, then all I'd do is wish myself back into the past before you found the lamp, steal it, and then use it myself before you can.

Dude I'm a god. I could smite you with the flick of a wrist. You'd never get the lamp from me. And if I don't kill you then there are other ways I could dispose you.

Let's see I could create a lightning bolt and strike you with it.
Cause permanent paralysis so that you would lost your mobility.
I could . . . cut off your hands in a freak sawing accident.

Want me to go on?

 

[Mr. Flibble]

I would wish for a TARDIS. Once I have one of those I wouldn't need the lamp anymore so I'd destroy it so noone else could gain its power

This is a serious question . . . what in God's name is a TARDIS?

That's only if you're even AWARE of me

That being said, I think that could serve as one of the many wishes I'd ask for.

But I'd also be afraid of fucking up the past.

Depends if you believe whether or not history can be fucked up by your influence, or whether history was made the way it was BY your influence

[Mr. Flibble]

If you fucked up the past you wouldn't know aboutitanyway, because the timeline would change, and it would take account of the factthat you're alive and it would change your personal timeline accordingly so if anything changes the change also becomes a part of your history and you won't remember how things were originally because they never happened that way because you changed the past.
