Granted, you are now part of the legends and no longer exists in our space-time.

I wish I were 10 years younger.

Granted, but an extra zero is added, making you 100 years later. As a result, it is now (most likely) some time before your birth and you won't be born for a while.

I wish for the LBGT [sic] topic back.

Never heard anyone use tranny as a slur word (at least not anywhere comparable to "nigger" ), just mostly as a description for M>F Trans, The only place it's probably considered as such is the US, with al their politically correct nonsense (rather than actually going against the reason for discriminations / unjustified hate, they just think banning words and finger waggling at random people will solve stuff. So far it seems at least to have quite the opposite effect...)

Granted, but it will just get derailed again and attract even more trolls.

I wish political and religious discussions were banned from the forums, as these just always act as flamebait.

Granted, but so are all other discussions, including discussions about computer games.

I wish that the "report as spam" choice would not result in the deletion of topics that have already received more than a full page of responses.

By the way, regarding the t-slur:

(Rule of thumb: It is best to avoid words that can be seen as offensive unless you are part of the group that said word is usually directed at.)

Disregard this part if you're only here for the game itself.

Well, there lies the problem, "some" people use it as a slur, not all. And unlike nigger, it his no further connotations, beside describing a trans person (nigger wasn't just used to describe blacks, but specifically black slaves).

Also, to the "unless you are part of the group" thing, same could also be said about "cis-", which ironically would fit your description of "akin to the N-Word" far more, as I've only ever hear it as a slur against men, usually white ones (ex: cis-white male scum), shouted out pretty much exclusively by retarded, hate-mogering feminazis and their ball-less mangina slave-boys, along with many other made-up bullshit.

And no, being part of the majority of any country doesn't mean you can't be discriminated against, and the whole "they have / hold power" is just another strawman made-up by racist-bigoted feminazis, akin when the nazis claimed back in the time that all bad things were caused by the jews who supposed ruled the world from the shadows (and how that ended, we all know by now)

So finally, I would like to tell you that rather than trying to force some arbitrary standards of tolerance on people, further dividing them in the process (and making things far worse in the long run), people should rather focus on mutual understanding rather than painting group X as the literal spawn of Satan (regarldess of race, sexual orientation, religion, etc). As that only profits those crazy extremists who drive off it, like both regular nazis and feminazis, while everyone else looses in the process. And that's what actually happens right now, so maybe rather than focusing on the small print (mere words whose meanings change all the time), you might rather wanna look at the overall picture (and it's not pretty).

(Sidenote: I doubt this thread is the best place to argue such things, assuming you even have any real interest in a discussion. Nothing personal, but most people who usually speak about the same cause(s) as you usually don't care about what others have to say and act more like fanatics than reasonable people, rarely even hiding that their so called "cause" is a mere pretext to better hide their own racism / bigotry.)

And frankly, no one likes fanatics, not even their own kind... Not saying you necessarly are one, but that's been my experience so far with the SJW / Ultra PC-Correct People, aka those who blurb always about these things, without even understanding that they do more harm than good (assuming that wasn't their initial intention anyways).

Granted, but the spammers caught wind of it and abuse this to have 1000+ replies threads for "Drugs, Hookers and Viagra"

I wish that people would not let themselves be so easily divided by extremists and more willing to work together to improve things (for everyone, not just themselves).

I am afraid that that wish is beyond the capabilities of the wish granting witch. You are going to need something more powerful than a wish to do that, and said thing is not safe to use.

(By the way, one observation: People who use terms like "SJW" and "politically correct" tend to be bigots.)

I wish for a remake of Wizardry Gaiden 3 to be released on gog.com for Mac and Linux.

Atleast we now know that arguing with each other is a waste of time.

Can't even say I'm surprised / wasn't expecting it...

I have thought of two better corruptions of this wish:

1. Granted. Humans are now extinct, so there can be no divisions. Everybody (which is the same as nobody) is willing to work together to improve things.

2. Granted. Now everybody is the same. Unfortunately, that means everybody is the same sex and therefore reproduction is impossible (except via some possible future medical advance). Furthermore, because of the lack of genetic diversity, a disease comes and wipes out the entire population.

My previous wish still stands, of course:
I wish for a big budget 0-player game to be made.

The wish-granter was puzzled by this one but finally decided to translate your wish as a self-playing video game, a semi-interactive movie to be precise, and released on one of those large old-fashioned video disks from the 80s/90/s

I wish I had a Mary Poppins/Harry Potter-ish carpetbag of holding, a limitless bookshelf, and an endlessly spacious closet so everything I own or could own could be tucked away neatly until I wanted it. :D

You do, and everything works great... until you accidentally take the carpetbag into the closet, and the entire universe collapses upon itself into a singularity.

I wish the wishes in here went back to being about creativity and fun, rather than working so hard to push the wishers' personal agendas.

TwoHandedSword: I wish the wishes in here went back to being about creativity and fun, rather than working so hard to push the wishers' personal agendas.
It seems you have a personal agenda of the wishes being about creativity and fun, therefore it turns out that granting the wish would cause your wish to be cancelled, causing the universe to collapse into a singularity.

Granted, but it turns out it's because I solved an unsolvable puzzle, and now I suddenly rule the new dimension.

I wish things could go back to the way they were before this universe-collapsing nonsense. It's just so boring.

Granted, well sort of. Seeing as the universe was gone, it was decided that the universe's memory could be used for other things. As a result, the memory of the universe was corrupted, so when the universe was restored, it was restored in a corrupted state, with some areas completely unrecognizable.

I wish for Wizardry 1 to be remade in Wizardry 8's engine.
