speller73
in May 24th, 2010 @ 18:26Wish granted. You have way, way, way below freezing temperatures. Like anyone who goes outside even with a coat instantly freezes to death.
I wish we didn’t have a calc final.

Enceladus
in May 24th, 2010 @ 19:12Granted, now you have two calc finals. And an ugly vampire, without a soul, and no slayer that knows about it!

in May 24th, 2010 @ 19:33Uh, I do have 2 calc finals… And what are you talking about? I totally have a plan for attacking a vampire…

I wish school was over already.

4.1.1.1
Enceladus
in May 24th, 2010 @ 19:48Granted, but due to the fact you are not withing the walls of a place of education, a horde of mind eating zombie creatures arrive and eat your mind. And all memory of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Oh, and they find the entire internet and eat it too.
I wish the next episode of Doctor Who was already out, and I could watch it, and it was in good quality, and it was as amazing as all the other episodes.

in May 24th, 2010 @ 20:46Oh, that’s fine, they need organizing and stuff anyways. There’s the Design Lab with its Archive Room and office, the Photography Room with Darkrooms and Office, and the Art Room with its Office. They all need maintaining.
Wish granted. You have chocolate ice cream tomorrow at 92 degrees, it sticks in your throat and you taste it all day.
I wish my camera batteries actually kept a charge.

I-Man ((William II, OSW's Secretary))
in May 24th, 2010 @ 21:45Wish granted. Your appearance becomes so delirious that you freak out someone on the streets and that person proceeds to shoot you.
I wish my school year ended last Friday so I could hurry up and get a copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy while they’re still floating about out there.

4.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
SudoRandom
in May 25th, 2010 @ 07:05Wish granted. You scoop up the last one that, miraculously, no-one has taken, bring it home, and begin playing it. Then you realize that the reason no-one had taken it was because it was defective and your gaming platform bursts into a massive explosion, nearly destroying your house, and nearly taking your life. Also, in your haste to take it, you forgot to pay for it, and the CIA, FBI, and Secret Service show up at your house and arrest you because they believe you are a terrorist who knew the game was defective and planned to use it as a bomb.

Jakob Wonkychair
in May 24th, 2010 @ 21:45I don’t like my camera… it doesn’t have aperture, shutter speed, or good lighting adjustments.
Wish granted. You never get tired, but everyone around you is asleep for half of each of your days, making you lonely and depressed.
I wish one of my math teachers was not leaving in a week….

OK, that was pretty obscure. I don’t know how, but within 3 days I know everything there is to know about Portal.

FantasyFan?!?!
in May 25th, 2010 @ 16:49Wish granted. You have been taken over by the HPBs and made into a cyborg zombie, , so you can’t do anything you thought you could do and have to do their dirty work like set fire to Muse magazines…one at a time, slowly…
I wish my National Geographic and Muse subscriptions were renewed.

in May 24th, 2010 @ 19:09Not quite sure, I saw it on the suggestion box. Maybe someone chooses the ‘green card’ (a.k.a the topic), and then we all put out words (our ‘red cards’), and the GAPAs choose the best Red Card word?

SudoRandom
in May 24th, 2010 @ 19:42Idea: How about different games can take place in the nesties, so that we can have multiple games going? After the replied comments get long and unruly, someone can start a new body comment for the game? That just seems more organized.
Nym- I’ll volunteer to be the judge, if no-one else will be.

SudoRandom
in May 24th, 2010 @ 20:15Wishes granted. School is over, but you failed and have to go to Summer School, and your puppy bites your hand and you get an infection that forces you to amputate your entire right arm. Plus your legs, for good measure. And your other arm. And the puppy pees in your eyes, so you’re blind. And it gnaws your ears off.

15.1.3.1
Enceladus
in May 30th, 2010 @ 05:45Granted. This means you’re not allergic to poison Ivy. You grow up, become an amazing and adored professional musician, (say, at the status of Yo Yo Ma.)One day, you’re playing with a famous orchestra, and the orchestra bus breaks down. You know the area, so you lead them to the concert… right through a patch of poison ivy that causes none of them to be able to play.
I wish I had an Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device.

This is only a bad thing if you like fish.
No! Wait! Granted. All fish go extinct from people fishing them up to get a wish.

in May 26th, 2010 @ 11:11Okay. This is how diplomacy might work. Everyone who wants to play should reply and download jdip from sourceforge or realpolitik from somewhere. We can choose a variant they both have that fits the number of people. We make the whole game a set of replies ot this comment. We would have spoiler alerts for moves, and I could be the GM, unless the GAPAs want to step up. I would also play. I would post the picture on the blog and people would reply to that for the next move. Objections/Reccomendations/Joining?

I’m starting a game of Apples to Apples right now, because it seems that a few people want to play. Please make all posts participating in this Apples to Apples game as a reply to this post, or a reply to a reply to this post, etc. (This will just make it easier to follow, and make the thread tidier.)
I just used a random adjective generator and it gave me cultured, so that is our new word.

in May 26th, 2010 @ 19:10I wish that my staple-remover was man-eating.
(If I were granting this wish, I’d probably say it would eat me slowly and painfully, by first eating everything inside of me, excluding the brain and the hearts, left me like that for a few days, and then continued to eat everything else, but I am not granting this wish, so let’s see what it comes up with.)

in May 28th, 2010 @ 12:19This is really a puzzle, not a game, but it’s fun. The object is to transform one word into another by changing one letter at a time to create a chain of real words.
For example, if I said, “Can you change CORN into RICE?” you might come up with CORN-CORE-MORE-MIRE-MICE-RICE. If there’s more than one way to do it, the shorter chain is usually considered more elegant. (That one has four intermediate links.)
Here’s a magazine-related one: Who can change Muse into Time?

in May 29th, 2010 @ 07:13Hm, partial credit, if I’m the referee. The adjectival form of “bone” is “bony,” as in “bony fishes.” “Boney” was a nickname English-speakers gave Napoleon, but it’s still a bit of a stretch here. And even though Laurel Moser went to elementary school with me, I don’t think her surname should count as a word for this purpose.
Besides, you’re turning a bunny into a Muser, which is clearly inconceivable.

Speaking of spelling, this year’s National Spelling Bee starts tomorrow in its customary place, a block from my office. No doubt I’ll see spellers and their families milling around as I make my way to the Metro. I assume that we’d have heard by now if any MBers were competing this year.

in June 1st, 2010 @ 17:13no i mean i looked up moted. and it had something to do with motes. i don’t remember the definition exactly so i will look it up again, just for you
Of light: full of motes.
1821 BYRON Two Foscari III. i, in Sardanapalus 234 Those moted rays of light Peopled with dusty atoms. 1878 H. JAMES Watch & Ward ii. 30 A moted morning sunbeam used to enter his little study. 1946 M. PEAKE Titus Groan 56 A portion of the lumber of Gormenghast had found its way into this zone of moted half-light. 1989 W. MCILVANNEY Walking Wounded 94 His glass of whisky and water shone in one spear of moted sunlight.

in June 1st, 2010 @ 17:28“Zone of moted half-light” — a lovely phrase. If it’s good enough for Byron and Mervyn Peake, it’s good enough for me. It does look a bit odd, though, standing alone and devoid of poetic context.

in March 25th, 2011 @ 18:4987.1.1: Granted. People suffer and die, and you don’t care in the slightest. You get so used to being happy that you take it for granted, and you can’t even really feel it anymore.You get impatient with people when they aren’t happy, and you can’t understand their feelings. It doesn’t matter to you when they suffer and die, and you may even develop a few psychopathic tendencies. None of that’s very likely/significant, but it was the best I could do.
87.1.2: All sorts of amazing things happen, and all your problems are fixed, and everything is wonderful, and you get to the point where you can’t imagine life any other way. Then everyone you know dies a slow and painful death, and get very little food and water and are often tortured and eventually driven into insanity. If there’s a pleasant afterlife, you will have discovered the secret of eternal life before the bad things happen but not had the chance to share it with anyone else (If you’re not the sort of person who would use something that gave eternal life, you did by accident.), and there is one but it’s absolutely awful), you die soon.If there isn’t one, you die just as things are starting to look a bit better.

in March 25th, 2011 @ 21:0887.1.2.1: I wish I could say things in such a condensed way every once in a while.
89.1.1 Granted, but it tastes like rotten broccoli covered in a substance too putrid to name. Also, broccoli no longer exists because as soon as people heard that carrots tasted like broccoli, they let carrots go extinct.
89.2: Optimized for tardigrades? Well, that’s certainly better than for no-one at all. At least, I expect so. I’d have to give it some thought. They have basically everything they need, really. The world might contain more water, which would be good, but certain types of nematodes and amoebas would go extinct, which is bad. And… That’s about it, unless they were sentient. In that case, I imagine they’d take over the universe. That would be… interesting. I’ve heard there’s a book about that, actually, except it was just one planet, not the entire universe; it sounded vaguely like a bad sci-fi movie. I definitely plan to read it sometime; I expect it’ll be funny. Humans certainly wouldn’t be doing anymore experiments on them, but that’s actually rather good in my opinion, because they’d be safer. But if tardigrades were larger, the universe would have to contain much more moss… Which would be good, as that would bring more oxygen and moss never hurt anyone. Either way, are you sure that wish was corrupted thoroughly? I really wouldn’t mind if that were to happen; in fact, I think I’d probably like it.90: Granted. Muse goes bankrupt and ceases to exist.

Even today, scientists are still trying to figure that out.) You’re destroyed along with it, and I take the hill.

When that doesn’t work, I push you off the hill, climb it, and put up a lot of signs saying ‘Bibliophile’s Hill’ so that anyone who defeats me will have to remove all the signs, too, plant my feet in the ground and glue them in place, and call someone to deliver a dragon trained to guard my place (who is fiercely loyal to me and would NEVER under any circumstances attack me, even if hypnotyzed, but won’t hesitate to attack anyone who dares to approach and is harder to harm than a tardigrade). All this might seem unnecessary, but I think it’s vital if the hill is stolen that often. Why is it important, again?

Anyway, I’ve called you all here to say one thing- I have saved this and every hill in the universe a minimum of 27 seven times. And now I’m retiring.
ON THIS HILL! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Also, you have to move to Death Valley California, and since summer lasts forever, people soon decide that everyone has to go to school, anyway. Either that or you don’t get an education.

I then say that I will give him $10million if he signs it, written in the contract, which he then signs on a whim. Then, using the same energies, I find Enceladus and get him to convince the blog Enceladus to come off the hill. He can be very persuasive when he’s looking down at you. I then claim the hill merrily.

Interesting how my chain meets with ZNZ’s chain at “Information”. I guess more general threads (like “information”) are more likely the first link than weird specific articles (like “state highway”, so it’s only so long before you hit something like “Science” or “Language”, and then you’re in the rut.
Another fun variation on this game is to pick an ending article, such as “Tina Fey”, and then try to get to it from a random article in as few clicks (on whatever links you like) as possible- Here, I’ll try.All at Once (album)
