The Monkey's Paw Game - The Five-Minute Forums

Rayinne · #1 02-26-2005, 09:42 AM

Basically, this is a game where a player makes a wish and it gets ruined, like in the story about the monkey's paw. For example, the first player makes a wish that ENT would continue. Then the second player could do something like "ENT continues for several more years, but it's full of subliminal programming telling everyone to obey the new world dictator." Then the second player makes a wish of his or her own, and so it continues.

I'll start with...

I wish I could use magic.

You can use magic, but it can only do sissy things like placing random flowers on people's heads.

I wish I could go to sleep. No seriously, I'm so high on sugar from all that fondue chocolate that I'm wide awake.

You go to sleep, but wake up three-thousand years in the future. Everything you love has been outlawed.

I wish I had a bajillion Euros.

You have a bajillion Euros....in monopoly money! Buaha!

I wish there were more Voyager fivers. Hint hint.

NeoMatrix · #5 02-26-2005, 03:39 PM

There will be more Voyager fivers, but it will be "Soon"

I wish I wasn't sick

Sa'ar Chasm · #6 02-26-2005, 03:42 PM

You're not sick, but in order to not be sick you have to ingest cursed sodium benzoate.

I wish I could go more than five minutes without making a Simpsons reference.

NeoMatrix · #7 02-26-2005, 03:44 PM

It isnt possible for you to make a Simpsons reference because you live in a time before the Simpsons, therefore people think you are crazy.

I wish I could be more like Neo

PointyHairedJedi · #8 02-26-2005, 04:15 PM

You become more like Neo, but you also become more like Keanu Reeves.

Too harsh?

Anyway, I wish I could get a refund for this dead parrot.

NeoMatrix · #9 02-26-2005, 04:47 PM

No you may not get a refund because the parrot was dead when you bought it

I wish I could get a better job

Hotaru · #10 02-26-2005, 08:47 PM

You get a better job, but it's working for Jolene Blalock.

I wish I had a better car.

Ginga · #11 02-26-2005, 08:59 PM

You get a better car, but someone rear-ends it as you shop for Trek DVDs. DX

I wish my research paper would just die so I wouldn't have to do it.

Hotaru · #12 02-26-2005, 09:23 PM

Your research paper dies, but takes you with it.

I wish that my hair was more blue.

richardson · #13 02-26-2005, 09:33 PM

Every hair on your body turns vivid electric blue, leaving you embarrased for the rest of your life.

I wish I could take over the world.

Ginga · #14 02-26-2005, 09:39 PM

You take over the world...

Only after you've killed everyone on it, leaving you painfully alone.

I wonder what will happen if I wish for Janeway to be a real person. *is afraid*

NAHTMMM · #15 02-26-2005, 09:48 PM

Janeway IS a real person.

And so is Picard.

And so is Kirk.

Which last is unfortunate for you because you are in his time, not Janeway's, and you're a redshirt on his Enterprise... :twisted:

I wish I weren't sick.

richardson · #16 02-26-2005, 10:17 PM

You're not sick, you're dead.
Sucks to be you it does.

I wish I was a fox..

NeoMatrix · #17 02-26-2005, 10:49 PM

You are a fox, but you are now being chased by hounds

I wish I had more wishes

richardson · #18 02-27-2005, 01:19 AM

You get more wishes, but you die before you can use them.

I wish I had a starship.

MaverickZer0 · #19 02-27-2005, 04:12 AM

You have a starship, but the Borg assimilate it and you.

I wish I lived in a video game.

Ginga · #20 02-27-2005, 04:16 AM

You live in a video game, but unfortunately, it's a beta that crashes every other minute. You're fighting glitches all the time, man!

I wish I could be on IRC more.
