"The Game" - announce your loss here.....
Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2012 10:44 pm
So I've been playing "The Game" with work colleagues since the early days of the internet... let's just say after the dot com bubble went kaput!
So the rules are....
1. You have always has been playing The Game. You may not have been aware of it, but now you are aware of this fact. You will always be playing the game forever going forward. Denying this fact, does not preclude you from playing. You cannot stop playing, now that you are aware.
2. Every time you think about "The Game", you have lost. Loss is temporary; once you stop thinking about The Game, you stop losing, but you will lose again the next time you think about The Game.
3. Every time you think about The Game, and hence lose, you must tell other people that you have lost. You have to declare this as something along the lines of "I lost the Game". You must announce your loss. Even to strangers.
4. The person to go the longest without thinking of The Game "wins" that round
