Sagan 4 Forum [Menu]

12 years later, I finally continue the tradition of spreading the "Corrupt a Wish" game to new forums.

How to play: The person above you made a wish. Grant it, but with a dark twist, tradeoff, or unintended consequences. Then, make your own wish in the same post.

The only difference between corrupting a wish here vs other places is that you can make Sagan 4 jokes and everyone will actually get it

I'll start: I wish I could eat oranges more often.

Orange trees magically take root in your house and grow rapidly. This causes untold structural and water damage, ruining your home and posessions. You do get to have the oranges, though.


I wish for some nice art paper.

You instantly obtain 122 pieces of "art paper". Unfortunately, it is paper, with original art on its entire surface, stolen from fairly renowned museums, some of which have tracking chips on them in case of theft. You break the all-time world record for art theft and theft of private property simultaneously, and get in all world record books with a crime section. Decades afterward, people puzzle over how you could have simultaneously obtained 122 pieces of art-covered paper from museums. You are widely respected as the world's greatest thief, though you remain imprisoned nonetheless.

i wish I could make an asexually-reproducing single species of Caonach descendant which exists in five habitats for 20 Generations.

You get your wish, as you submit you caonach species you then reread the post and see they've become wildcard global species of purple "gray goo" that eat anything in it's path. As you try to edit it out the moment you resubmit the changes show up again. You delete the thread and try making a new one but the same thing happens. You give up on the caonach, delete it and go to sleep, but in the morning the submission shows up again. You decide to just not approve the submission but then it shows up on the wikipage, edited by you. You try to remove it but it won't let you. Gradually all the other species on the wiki start showing up as extinct because of the purple goo event, and any attempt to edit it gets undone. You decide to try to restart in a new server but instead of a new wiki the project starts with a purple goo world entry in the front page. You try to move on from Sagan, but the same every spec evo project you join gets the caonach entry and eventual extinction. You decide to quit it entirely, take some time to unplug, and it all goes fine, you live your life never doing spec evo again, until one day your bathroom stops working. You call the plumber, and he tells you about a strange purple sludge that got stuck in the pipes. The thought passes by, but you dismiss it. Reminding yourself that this is reality, you join the plumber to find out what is he talking about, and yet in the pipe you see its dried up levander fabric softener. Unsure as to how it got there but relieved more than you would like to admit to yourself, you pay the plumber to unclog the pipe. As you do, a notification shows up on your phone, you dismiss it but it shows up again from a different source. Clicking the link, you find a video about a new invasive organism discovered, with an all too familiar image in the thumbnail.

I wish Sagan 4 beta started runing.
