Granted but you forget it this year. I wish that I could go back a few decades for a do-over, while keeping the knowledge of what happened the first time.

Granted, but your altered timeline leads to alternative futures that aren't much better and you'll end up with brain damage and terrible nosebleeds to boot, Butterfly Effect style. I wish my country isn't such a poophole and not let people die from lack of health care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Blackwood Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Granted. People disappear when they die and never leave a corpse. Those that remain experience a long period of longing, never knowing if their loved one has died or just left. Death now stings all the time and the world descends into an unprecedented and deep period of inner loneliness and uncertainty. I wish people actually told you how they were when you asked them how they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marut is one of the best players in this thread, he doesn't deserve that. May I be allowed to defend him? Take a look at the title of the thread: "Grant and Corrupt a Wish". The format is, someone makes a wish. The next player grants that wish, but corrupts it. For example, they may point out unintended consequences of the wish, or say that it comes along with something else that's undesirable. It's best if the corrupted wish is also humorous in some way. Then, the new player wishes for something, and so on. I have ambivalent feelings about this game myself. I've made wishes that I really do wish for, only to see them mucked up by the next player. But, that's the game! What Marut was saying by his comment (at least, this is how I understand it) is that he likes you, likes the way you think, and would be pleased if you'd play and give him a chance to interact with you. It wasn't an attack. It was an invitation. 😘 (I grant you, it may have not felt that way. When somebody pings you in a thread, like @Seicher Rae, the system gives you a notice that someone mentioned you in a thread. It does not say what the context was. If you've not been a participant in this game, being thrown into it without warning...well!) Edited December 9, 2019 by Lindal Kidd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amina Sopwith Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 He was joking and it was meant affectionately. He made a gentle joke at my expense too in this game the other day. It was funny. 6 minutes ago, Marut72 said: I wish there was a newspaper that only printed good news. Granted, it goes out of business.

Seicher Rae Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I see other people making comments without wishes, as I did. They are not called out specifically to ruin a wish with pleasure. I understand the game and have played it (not often, but I have). I now believe after what Marut *finally* said and what Lindal said, that it was an invitation to play and no harm was intended. It was poorly worded. To me it read like an attack. Ok. S**t happens. (It doesn't help that I think I'm being trolled in another thread, but I'm not sure and I don't know why there, either. I also have baggage attached to Forum things. So I admit to reading with a filter.) All's good. No worries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
