Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] All adults can make a pilgrimage once a year to a genie and attempt to make a wish. However, the genie will only grant the wish if it's never be asked for before in all history. Most people never get their wish. On your 18th birthday you make the trip and are surprised to get your wish. by shadowkyros

Wouldn't this be very easy to game?

Sure, you can only wish if it's never been wished for, like "I wish for a million dollars", or "I wish my mom wasn't sick" might be blocked as they would have been wished for in the past.

But it seems like you could game it by re-wording your wish and adding a modifier.

"I wish that I, John Doesmith, had 1 million dollars" Or "I wish that my mom, Jane Doeson, wasn't sick"

Technically, they're both wishes that have been wished before but adding it to add you or someone else, turns it into a different wish as you're specifying someone else/yourself.

Yeah, especially with a yearly attempt to adjust your strategy.
