I wish my forum avatar would put people under a spell that compelled them to transfer all of their money on my bank account.

Granted, everyone's money that is on your account is transferred. So, if you somehow had anyone else's money on your account, it will all be transferred elsewhere. Behold the power of prepositional phrases.



This is not a hard game. Continue with TL's wish.

So basically this is how the game works. Player A posts a wish then Player B corrupts it. Like so:

Icecreamdude: I wish I had a motorcycle.

Captainbob: Granted except it gets towed. I wish I could fly.

And so on! Let the corrupting begin!

Granting a wish then having something bad happen is how you play the game.  That's what the OP wanted.  Please stop inferring that we're playing it wrong.

Please.

Tyrax Lightning's wish - I wish my new Roquefort Cheese Keyboards are cool/funny enough to sell & make a fortune off of.

Granted. You make a fortune then lose it in the ensuing "Smelly Keyboard" court cases...

I wish that my ass would stop getting bigger...

[kuurankuiskaus]

Granted, it is your belly that will start getting bigger instead of your butt



I wish I had something clever to do...

[andybuiadh]

You find something clever to do, but sadly you're not clever enough to do it.



I wish people would stop moaning/whining at me.

[IAGTTBleed]

Granted. People stop but every other animal on the planet starts. Enjoy your next trip to the Zoo.



I wish that Christmas didn't leave me feeling ill in the gut...

[MarloMarlo]

Granted. Your gut was removed from your body before Christmas to prevent it from being hurt by Christmas.

I wish the button to skip dialogue didn't also select dialogue options in the PC version of Mass Effect.

The OP described it correctly and then gave a bad example. Here's the description he used, for your reference: "So basically this is how the game works. Player A posts a wish then Player B corrupts it." Also, in case you haven't noticed, this game is called "Corrupt-a-Wish."

If you know how verbs work, then you know that if Player B is supposed to corrupt Player A's wish, then the wish is what gets corrupted. That's what "...then Player B corrupts it" means. What is player B corrupting? The wish. The wish gets corrupted. That's why it's called "Corrupt-a-Wish" rather than "Grant-a-Wish-then-Say-Something-Arbitrary-Afterwards."

Having something bad happen after the wish isn't a corruption of anything. If all you do is say "granted," followed by anything else, then all you've done is grant a wish uncorrupted. That's like playing basketball without playing basketball, all because someone missed the shot in the demonstration of how to score.

Why would the game be played by merely saying something bad happens after a wish is stated to be granted, anyway? What kind of game is that? That's like the first person going three times in a row in a game of tic tac toe.

[IAGTTBleed]

Does it mean anything to you that only ONE person is complaining about how everyone is corrupting wishes?

Think about it and let the rest of us have our FUN please. 'Cause that's all it is. FUN.

Stop being pedantic about symantic's.  It's a real joy-kill.

PLEASE!

EDIT: MarloMarlo's wish - "I wish the button to skip dialogue didn't also select dialogue options in the PC version of Mass Effect."

MarloMarlo's wish - "I wish the button to skip dialogue didn't also select dialogue options in the PC version of Mass Effect."

Granted, the button to skip dialogue instead no longer works anymore. Hope none of Mass Effect's characters are blabbermouths...

I wish there is a Kaddi for Dog that looked just like a Butler Outfit!

[andybuiadh]

Granted! But your dog gets a job as a butler for Eamon/Isolde and leaves you behind.



I wish my freaking eczema would clear up.

[mrofni]

Granted, but to get yourself to learn about it, you had to catch it first.



I wish I wasn't so bored.

[MarloMarlo]

Granted. You switch places with someone in prison that just dropped the soap.

I wish Uwe Boll died before starting work on "House of the Dead."

Well, it certainly doesn't mean anything good about anyone else. Well, anyone else not actually playing the game. I recognize that not everyone is failing at this and it  warms my heart, like a fireplace in the middle of a blizzard.

But no one is complaining about how everyone is corrupting wishes. I'm pointing out how a lot of people aren't corrupting wishes. And do you think the right or wrongness of an argument is determined by the side with the most people on it? If that was true, I bet God would be in every science text book in Kansas.

Well, I had no idea I was stopping you, especially since I obviously haven't stopped you from failing to play Corrupt-a-Wish. I even provided a wish that you could've corrupted. The guy after you knows how to play. It's not that hard. You can do it! I believe.

It's just junior high English presented in a way that anyone should be able to understand. Keep your pants on.

You know what's a real killjoy? Watching people think they're playing a game like corrupt-a-wish and them not only being wrong about that, but insisting that they're not wrong about it without any means to demonstrate how they aren't wrong, after being proven to be wrong. The real killjoy is expecting a game and not getting one.

Granted. You're even more bored.

I wish I wasn't more bored than you.

Granted you're now less bored than me as you have a pile of work to be done.

I wish I wasn't working a 12 hour shift tomorrow (after a 12 hour shift today)

[Morganlafey]

Granted. You're now sick and forced to stay home.



I wish I was back in Canada.

[IAGTTBleed]

Granted. You're also back in high school... (Sorry, couldn't help myself)



I wish that Richie Benaud would live forever.

[Morganlafey]

Probably wouldn't survive a second round of high school, so I guess that's it for me.

[Tyrax Lightning]

Granted. You're on holidays in middle of an Emperor Penguin group in middle of Antartica.



I wish there was no more bad tech support anywhere in the world ever again of the phone & e-mail kind, & it is forevermore very constructive & helpful.

[AmphigoryFive]

Granted except all of his pent up rage eventually causes him to explode, killing both of you.



I wish that I had more mints.

[wyvern14]

Granted, although once you pop them in your mouth you'll have a reaction similar to what happens when you mix Mentos and soda (or bananas and ginger ale, you get the idea)



I wish I could finish that stupid cutscene in my mod ><

[mrofni]

Granted, but somebody hacks the website and changes it to Barney dancing.



I wish the cow would fly over the moon.
