<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>

So doesn't it not matter if you have a good lawyer?

@Legend

It depends on the Genie.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It depends on the Genie.

@Shadow Dragon

How?

[Shadow Dragon]

<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>

How?

@Legend

They're sentient. They get to chose what they want to do. They're still bound to grant your three wishes, and they must follow the rules, but other then that they can choose for themselves.

@Shadow Dragon

But if the wish is specific enough, aren't they bound by what you want?

[Shadow Dragon]

@Legend

Yes. But they can still request that you change it before they grant it.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Yes. But they can still request that you change it before they grant it.

@Shadow Dragon

And if you refuse?

[Shadow Dragon]

<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>

And if you refuse?

@Legend

Then they must grant it, but they'll almost definitely curse you for it.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

@Shadow Dragon

Can I put in a stipulation about not being cursed?

[Shadow Dragon]

<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>

Can I put in a stipulation about not being cursed?

@Legend

Most likely not.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Most likely not.

@Shadow Dragon

Is it against the wish rules?

[Shadow Dragon]

<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>

Is it against the wish rules?

@Legend

Unless you use one of your wishes to protect yourself, you can't tack protection onto the wish itself.

@Shadow Dragon

To dumb down whatever the contract would be, isn't "I wish for a bar of gold without any negative consequences attached" a single wish?

@Legend

Sure. Then you could get hit by said brick of gold as it falls out of a jet, which breaks every bone in your body, but your financial state can now afford to pay for the surgery.

@Shadow Dragon

Is that not an attached negative consequence?

[Shadow Dragon]

<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>

Is that not an attached negative consequence?

@Legend

Nope, because it was negated by the reward.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Nope, because it was negated by the reward.

@Shadow Dragon

That's still a waste of my time and I get hurt in the process. Sounds pretty negative to me.

@Legend

Again, it depends on the genie.

@Shadow Dragon

I feel like a lawyer could make it so specific that the genie doesn't have the room to manipulate the wish.

@Legend

Then it would be the lawyers wish, not yours.

[Legend]

@Shadow Dragon

No, the wish would be mine, but I'd hire the lawyer to write it out in the form of a contract.
