[QUOTE="cybertalus, post: 1403595, member: 4400"] That's to be expected. Afterall, what's the point of giving a wish to someone (even a lowly NPC commoner whose every thought you control to the last detail) if you can't twist it against them? Yes, but any mortal foolish enough to ask the archangel of insurance for a wish really deserves what they get, no? No, but I saw the episode of last year's Twilight Zone revival with a similar premise. It was not a pretty sight. Of course there are other ways to twist this one as well. And financial means as well? Afterall, food doesn't grow on tr.... uhh nevermind. For that matter, how exactly is it that King Midas wasn't instantly wearing twenty-four karat clothing the minute he was given that power? ROFL More mischief from that insurance archangel. Are we sure he's still playing for the good guys? Yes, somehow I managed to miss the Devils part. Would've changed a few of my suggestions. See now we gotta call in the lawyers to define violence, and we know the angels don't have any of those on staff. I'm out of insurance pokes. The meaning of life is a crater? No wonder no one ever figured it out before! Which of course actually fullfils the wish, because this one genie was the big bad babysitter that all the truly evil critters feared. With it dead the world will be awash in demons, devils, vile monsters, foul magics, unbathed dwarves, and reality tv. Oh the demihumanity! And while I realize the original poster has said his "thank-you-and-goodnights", I'm gonna toss out a few more ideas anyway. The creation of a critter that eats devils. It is completely docile with all other creatures, and can survive on a diet of hay or the like. To forget enough of the horrors of the war to be able to live a normal, productive life. Something to counteract the rumors that will inevitibly start flying about exactly WHY these two men managed to survive when all the others perished. For the other survivor to "meet with an accident" so that the fame of surviving doesn't have to be shared. For all future wars to be settled by games of hopscotch or some other children's game. For any creature who tries to commit an evil act to be wracked with pain. [/QUOTE]
