Here we have one thousand monkey, hitting on a thousand type writers... and they will one day make a campainsetting...

Naw... I don't think thats what this is about. There are plenty of workable campaigns... even if we had come up with one it might not be something worth playing in.

Strict regulation of Wish abuse, so as not to devaluate the monetary system.

Sort of like the regulations concerning private ownership of gold in the real world?  I could see that.

It'd take a heck of an enforcement bureau to make it stick, though...

Could also limit the number of higher level spellcasters. Xp costs aren't cheap, even with thought bottle abuse, after all.

Make it to where the "inevitables" are actually badass and good at thier jobs.
You know there are Quaruts out there... somewhere...
Fiend Folio I know but the concepts exists there actually is some crazy celestial law enforcement bureau out there. Maybe they limit people to 3 wishes per life or something. I dont' know.
I don't know at what point it'd be that the real answer becomes "wish spells don't exist" which is close to "You can start casting wish, but giant God robots will come to kill you if do..."

What about, if you make a wish, it's judged but an active true neutral Greater Outsiders (Io, etc)

That does the trick, any wish aiming to break these matters are counterwished into oblivion.
What was Pun-Pun's alignment again?

I think he'd be like Io, all 9, because none of the actions need for Pun-Pun to assend into godhood require an allinement.

I call shananigens, Pun-Pun is the anti-batman.

Just considering that a L(Whatever) Pun-Pun would seek to keep everything running in an orderly manner.

And hence everyone mostly gets along just fine, until you attract the attention of one of the pair.

Down one path is Rocks Fall.

Down the other is railroads.

In between there is Pun Pun the rule lawyer, the red-mage, trying to figure out the exact DC of the reflex save of "rocks fall you die"

Well, Pun-pun leans chaotic good, as LG paladins can pull off the trick just fine (and remain LG), and furthermore have a much better chance of getting it to work.  On the other hand, CE characters can't even start it.

The alignment shift, and easier use of paladinness means that we'll see

n True Neutral Pun-Puns, n NG Pun-Puns, n NE Pun-Puns
0 LN Pun-Puns, 0 LE Pun-Puns, approx 3n LG pun-puns
n CG pun-puns, 2n CN Pun-Puns, and 2n CE pun-Puns

That's 3 evil, 5 good, 3 lawful, 5 chaotic.

So the net effect of Pun-Pun is neutral, leaning CGish.  Which explains the weirdness of prices (RE: 10 foot poles)- pun-pun screws with people in mostly harmless ways.
