I don't know how familiar the Escapist is with the Open Source Wish Project [http://www.homeonthestrange.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=4] (based on the comic spoilered below), but it's a very simple and endlessly entertaining idea. Basically, it's a group effort to design a perfect wish: A wish that you could pose to the meanest genie/DM imaginable and still get all that you want and nothing you don't.
I want to hear the perfect wishes of you people: How would you outwit the genie? What is your wish for (or maybe 3 that work together, but be careful you're not screwed in between wishes)? Can you spot any loopholes that you would exploit, if you were in the genie's place? I'll post any airtight wishes in the OP in case you ever need them in a hurry.
Since I'm asking you to submit yourself to the judging eye of the internet, I'll stick my neck out first:
A Wish For Omnilingualism
I wish that I was as fluent in every language on Earth, in all forms of expression (including but not limited to reading, writing, and speech)as I currently am in English, and that this skill would not degrade over the course of my lifetime.
What do you think, rules lawyers?
