Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

[hoidhunter he/him]

I'm also super impressed that you actually granted my previous wish...if I could upvote a PM I would...but I'll just upvote your last post instead.

[Mr. Staccato he/him]

What do you get when you multiply six by eight?

 

All of your beverages now taste almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

 

I wish to share a beautiful moment with a small bird in front of a stadium filled with enraptured onlookers.

Granted. (I seriously tried to find a way to twist your boon into something, well, twisted - I ended up thinking of you sharing the big screen with Big Bird or of you being carpet bombed the next time you go to a stadium - but what the heck, gotta give good boons now and then.)

 

As for your bane, your likeness has just been recreated and immortalized into a statue somewhere in New Zealand - where it will be doomed to forever accumulate bird droppings.

 

I wish for my very own television network - one that airs my favorite shows 24/7 and will never, EVER air any of those stupid dishwashing ads. Pretty please?

[Young Bard he/him]

Your wish is granted. Unfortunately, your aerial seems to pick up every channel perfectly, except when it flicks to yours, it only comes up with static and a vague outline of a dishwashing ad...

[Bob The Peanut]

I wish for the ability to shape-shift. Literally always wanted that power.

[Mr. Staccato he/him]

You can now shapeshift... but it seems like anything you transform into always bears that odd fresh armpit smell.

P.S. That isn't your bane. Here it is:

Your presence ruins every kind of locking mechanism. Unlocked doors will lock the moment you step close to them, other people's phones cannot be accessed while you're around, chains and necklaces fall apart, etc.

I wish... for a bag of Reese peanut-butter cups. (Sorry, your name and picture gave me a sudden craving for the things.)

BREAK DOWN THE DOOR! But wait... If I ruin the locking mechanism, and if it is ALREADY locked, does that mean it unlocks?

Granted! Your arm is now a bag of Reese PBCs.

Great nightwatcher bane! +1

 

Granted! Your arm is now a bag of Reese PBCs.

 

But you wished for nothing, so your bane is every bane between the last time someone did this and now...

I wish that any and all internet trolls would feel a punch to the face, any and every time they attempted to troll or harass someone (online or off). 

[Stormgate he/him]

Granted. Voidus and Rubix, two of our beloved members, are now sore due to some playful trolling that recently commenced on one of the threads on this site. Of course, every other troll is sore too, but these ones are probably grumpy.

Your bane is that you must speak in movie/book/tv show quotes whenever you get flustered.

I wish to be able to name two ranks for upvotes. (Seons and skaze)

Oh man. I've got a bad feeling about this. 

[TheLerasNosed he/him]

 

Oh man. I've got a bad feeling about this. 

 With no wish posted, I grant you permanent bad feelings.

Your boon is that everything you eat will taste like your least favorite food.

 

I wish for pen and pad to tell a story

I neither granted a wish, nor provided a bane, nor posted a wish: Just commented. So the rules don't apply, and it's Stormgates wish you're supposed to be granting!

[hoidhunter he/him]

I wish for pen and pad to tell a story 

I just wrote on my pad of paper (using a pen), "There once was a website called the 17th shard.  Many people used it to discuss their theories about Brandon Sanderson books.  Sometimes the people disagree and get very defensive, but mostly they converse in a civilized manner. The end."

 

You're bane is that you now have to do the same, but change the story a bit.

 

I wish for proof that you have done this.

This is a tough task, as my wish wasn't granted and I have neither pen nor pad.

Granted, but your bane is that my proof will be hidden from sight

 

"There once was a game on the website The 17th Shard, called Nightwatcher Boon/bane Game.  Many people use it to make and grant other people's wishes, while also giving the wisher a curse.  Sometimes the people forget to grant a wish, or choose not to carry out their bane, but mostly the game proceeds in a civilized manner.  The end"

 

I wish for people to be able to see my proof of bane, but only if they choose so

[ecohansen]

By wishing for something that already is true, you have doubled down on reality's realness--the real universe is now the only imaginable universe.

 

Your bane is the only bane that is now possible--all the bad things that actually exist in your life, still exist in your life.

 

I wish the only wish that is now possible: I wish that my mind exists in a state of wishing.

[Vander]

You've officially blown my mind. 

 

Granted. I`m pretty sure that was a bane unto itself, though, so I won`t do anything.

 

I wish to know if that was a reference, and, if so, to what.

[ecohansen]

Nope, just my own sad little mind.

 

Your bane is that whenever you are near a live chicken, that chicken will become 30% less intelligent.

 

I once had a beautiful dream.  I was a marmot, and I was with my whole marmot family, and we were all huddled together lovingly on a log in an alpine meadow overlooking a canyon with a waterfall.  I wish that I could actually live in that dream for an hour.

[Erunion he/him]

As VR tech improves, you play and enjoy Marmot Sim 2025. It's great. 

 

Your bane is that for the rest of your life you catch movement out of the corner of your eye. It's always unexpected, and always random. 

 

I wish to be an Electrum compounder. 

[natc]

Your surplus of Determination makes you the butt of Undertale jokes forever.

I wish I was a zinc compounder.

[Brightness Enna she/her]

Granted. Your brain now thinks very quickly and you even go on to win whatever intellectual competition you wish, whether it be a science fair, spelling bee, or quiz show.

 

Now, whenever you pass a truck on the road, whether you are driving or riding, you have an almost-uncontrollable urge to go to the bathroom.

 

I wish to dream lucidly and control said dreams.

[Rasarr she/her]

Granted, you have acquired the ability of lucid dreaming and can create entire worlds in your dreams. As your bane, you now see the real world in greyscale - except for things that are brightly, eye-assaultingly pink.

 

I wish to be able to make my clothes completely clean with a touch.

[Argel he/him]

Granted! Unfortunately, all the dirt, grime, etc. transfers to your skin!

 

I wish it would stop snowing!

[Eccentric Hero he/him]

Granted! Unfortunately, all the dirt, grime, etc. transfers to your skin!

 

I wish it would stop snowing!

Granted. It stops snowing.

Bane: It resumes to snow soon afterwards.

 

I wish to become a hero.

Edited April 4, 2016 by Eccentric Hero

[Stormgate he/him]

Granted. You become a hero and are forced into isolation from relationships to protect them from your enemies. Your bane is that you will never stop having enemies that require your isolation.

I wish to be eloquent to the point that nobody is confused as to the point I am trying to make.

[Argel he/him]

Granted. However, everyone will disagree with the point you are making. Your bane is they will also be insulted/offended by it.

 

I wish I for an amazing Talent from Alcatraz (that is not like the downside or bane to your granted wish).
