This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

3 wishes

You have three wishes. The only thing is that you can't wish for more wishes or you can not wish to break the rule that you can not wish for more wishes.

First wish: I wish for a time machine. I will then be able to go into the future to see the power ball numbers. Then I would give most of the money to charity.

Second wish: I wish for world peace.

Third wish: I wish for great health to all of you and me.

New rule you can not wish to break the rule about breaking the rule that you can not break the rule about wishing for more wishes.

Lol

1) I wish that I could counter any rules you set up, meaning there are no limitations on my wishes.
2) World hunger, all the senceless violence, the threat of desease, all to go away. (Hello Armageddon and the Tribulation!)
3) TATERS!

New rules you can not wish to counter any rules, you can not wish to break that rule and you can not wish to break the rule that you can break that rule.

^ I'll pretend I understood that.

Anyway, I had the ability to counter your rules before you established a rule that I could not counter rules, therefore, that has no control over me. Not to mention, because of my first wish, I can counter the rule that you just established saying I can't counter any rules. Remember, my wish was that I could counter ANY rule!

But now, I'll let you make a rule that I won't try to counter. After this, you can not wish to counter any rules at all. From now on, the rules he sets up are the rules that stay, and can't be broken. (I'm special, because I'm the only one who was actually allowed to break the rules.)

2.) world peace thanks to a worldwide shift to nuclear power, oil displaced as the fuel of choice by hydrogen produced from said powerplants

3.) get a chance to work at scaled composites, or Xcor as a test pilot or just a grease monkey - i don't really care which so long as i get in on the burgeoning civilian space industry

i remember a lovely story I read as a child called "the Woodcutter and the Fairy" where said woodcutter (rather advanced in years) spared the life of a fairy he'd found and captured in the forest. As a reward, she gave him 3 wishes, but warned him to be careful what he wished for (all wish stories are cautionary tales, are they not?)

well, he spent all morning thinking of possible wishes, but by dinner time he'd not thought of any. On his arrival home, he found that his wife hadn't prepared him a meal as they were so poor and he hadn't earnt any money, and absentmindedly he wished for a sausage! which of coures instantly appeared. His wife, soemthing of a virago, demanded to know how said sausage had magically appeared, and as you can imagine wasn't best pleased when she found that her husband had foolishly wished for a sausage rather than gold or jewels or a fine house, and proceeded to verbally castigate the unfortunate man. Eventually, tiring of his wife's harsh criticisms, the woodcutter loses his temper (and judgement, again) and wishes for the sausage to become his wife's nose!

After a brief moment of malicious glee, the woodcutter regrets his decision seeing the distress his wife, who was after all once a very pretty and loving girl who he still loves dearly despite the strains on their relationship caused by their poverty and circumstances, and endeavours to calm her and remove the offending sausage. Affter several hours, nothing has worked, and of course in the end he uses the last wish to restore his wife to normal once again. Needless to say, the experience has been valuable for them both despite the distress and through it they once again discover the simple joy they once had in their mutual love, and when sometime later the woodcutter meets the fairy again in the forest, and the fairy asks him whether the wishes were useful or not, he thanks her and says that they brought him the most precious thing in the world that he thought he'd lost (or something like that, i haven't read it for over 30 years.)

Were i to be offered three wishes, I wouldn't accept them; I've read too many cautionary tales and in all ofthem, the wishes turn out to bring misfortune upon the recipient in some way. We still have similar themes running through modern culture - if you watch Lost, you'll recall that Hurley uses the "numbers" to win the lottery, which brings him vast wealth yet in all other respects nothing but personal misfortune.
