Rule 1: You are playing The Game.
You, along with everyone else in the world, always is, always has been,
and always will be playing The Game. Neither awareness nor consent is required to play.

Rule 2: Every time you think about The Game, you lose.
Loss is temporary; as soon as you forget about The Game you stop losing.
The objective of The Game is to forget that it exists. Good luck.

Rule 3: Loss of The Game must be announced.
Every time you think about The Game, and hence lose, you must say so.

Rule 4: If someone asks, you must explain the game to them.

Congrats, you just lost the game!

Just thought I'd share this for those who don't know about it.

Are there people who use the Internet who don't know about this?

Also, you suck, because I just lost The Game.

[Lekkit]

A game that forces players to play it is a bad game, IMO. That's why I don't like this game at all. It should be optional to play.

[Graystripe77]

If you don't like the game, ignore it. You won't lose.

Well, you are always playing it, but if you ignore it, you don't think about it. Hence, you don't lose.

[Lekkit]

But I still play it. Without wanting to do so.

You only play it if you want to play it. If you don't want to play it, don't announce it when you think about it and don't take the bait when other people announce it to you. Pretty simple really =/

If you don't like the game, ignore it. You won't lose.

Even if you ignore it, you lose when you think about it.  There's no avoiding that.  You can not care about losing, but you lose either way.

[Graystripe77]

Then cheat, and don't announce when you lose.

[Lekkit]

I don't like cheating. The fact is that the game forces people to play it. If I have to cheat just because some stupid game forces me to play it while I don't want to makes me quite sad.

Anyways, for those of you who enjoy the game, I will stop pestering you in this thread.

I was digging through General Discussion and came upon this. So I do have to announce that I have lost The Game.

No need to thank me.
