I wish this game didn't need to be explained to you.

So explain.

Thanks.

Ender:

I wish this game didn't need to be explained to you.

Granted, but every time someone has to explain to you, you drop 10 IQ points. That's -10.

I wish the above corruption were explanation enough.

BOOM

(wasn't that a great revenge movie?)

Granted, but it comes at your expense.

I wish you had 10 IQ points to spare.

granted, I have at least a hundred I've never needed for this board.

I wish I had a watermelon.

but if don't tell us the rules, how will we know how to cheat?

I wish this weren't the only interesting top post today.

But unfortunately you are not corruptible..

Could you at least tell me, when I lose?

JJ Abrams on TV

The obvious literary reference is to the djinn (or monkey's paw or Pet Sematary or whatever). Be careful what you wish for, because if you don't parse it with Clintonian precision, you get something dreadful and unwanted. And then have to use your next wish to get rid of it.

However, the use of the term "wish" in your post text leads me to believe that you want us to corrupt that sentence. Or maybe you just want us to believe that you want us to corrupt that sentence.

At any rate, there's too little data for even the Riddler at his subtlest (which could get fairly subtle in the later interpretations).

is granted.

But you will go blind tonight at midnight and won't be able to see the rest of the game being played.

I wish BOTF did not exist.

Granted, but when you go to eat your watermelon it is filled with moldy cat feces.

I wish I was a better speller.

(Sufficient data now) I wish that I now had foreknowledge of the daily currency markets for the next three months.

Play by the rules.

Granted, but now you will be plagued with dozens of anonymous avatars begging for shit.

I wish somebody else would call Gregor a postmodernist. That was funny.
