Get a little tired of the roll manipulation stuff, and petition among players for roll determination to be removed from the game.

I'm actually getting a little tired of roll manipulation too. Allowing it was probably a mistake, as this game is rapidly becoming yet another iteration of "You always roll 5". Seems a bit late to change things now though. Roll manipulation has already had a tangible affect on the game, and refunding wishes now would basically let people double dip on those benefits.Anyway, you could probably use a wish to make everyone roll normally forever or something. Actually hold on a sec, just thought of something.

Wishes can do anything with very few exceptions.

Remove a players ability to wish.

Blatantly circumvent these rules.
Arguably, the bold portion is relevant due to the following rule.

Rolls are 1d6, except for wishes, which are 1d3+3 and are immune to modifiers.
Anyway, up to you.

I will roll a 5. Fly to the flaming wreckage in the middle of no-where and annihilate it with my helicopter. The paradox annoys me.

Turn 12 will most likely be posted tomorrow due to me getting distracted.
All roll manipulation abilities will cease to function and wishing for roll manipulation will be banned on turn 15, primarily because they make running this game less fun.

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

Signal my robot to rescue me. Failing that, a cat. Once I get out, tell cats to defend against the imminent Corgis.
[1] You signal your robot and then wander off. Now you're both lost.
Try again to make friends with the werewolves, and really mean it this time.
[6] Done. They bite you in celebration.
more drunk driving try to go as fast as possible
[3] You slow down for your own safety.
Go out of my way to improve the city's taxation systems, infrastructure, and social programs so that it continues to improve after I'm gone.
[6] You give up some of your lifespan for the improvements.
With my large following, build a rival city with shops, a wall to keep the zombies out and design it to be completely autonomous from the outside world.
[4] You build a fortified town with your followers.
werty will roll a 4.
Using my desire powers, solve all paperwork forever in a quantum state. Now they will need to follow my commands forever, ahahaha! I will roll a 5.

That would require extremely powerful precognition, which you lack.
Crash land into Feliana and start a Corgi revolution against the cats!
[6] You crash your helicopter in a corgi shelter, inspiring them to rise up against the feline oppressors but also breaking all your limbs.
Conduct meeting with Trump. We need to discuss Mexico's tribute to keep the Great American Wall maintained.
[5] Would you mind clarifying just what your goals are in these negotiations? In any case, you achieve them.

[5] You obliterate the wreckage of an airliner, thereby causing the intact airliner to be the only version that exists.

[4] You kidnap a werewolf.

Crap. Signal the robot to go to the copter and suppress the corgi revolution along with Feliania's finest warriors.

I hypnotized Trump and offered him 300M of dollars, so that he'll demolish his Great American Wall. I've rolled 5, so the deal is success. (If GM didn't get the memo, it was all a bait and switch. I baited Trump so I can hypnotize him and make him destroy the wall.)

Pounded in the Butt by my own Government... oh wait, that's real life.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

Research the werewolf, trying to figure out how were-ism works.

Pathetic technology users, your 100k cats will be eaten up by corgis memesters, and have the powers of the Vikings inside their souls! For Valhalla!, your robot's puny technology shall be crushed by the doge
