For those who know about this, haha! You just fucking lost! For those who don't, congratulations, you are now playing the game. There are many variations on the rules, but the basic ones are as follows:
1. You are playing 'the game' as soon as you become aware of 'the game' for the first time, and will continue playing for the rest of your life.
2. You lose 'the game' by thinking about 'the game.'
3. There is no limit to how many times you can lose, but whenever you lose, you must publicly announce your loss to everyone in your immediate surroundings, oftentimes causing them to lose 'the game' as well. This is where strategy comes in, as you should always try to make other people lose more than you lose yourself (leaving notes, sending text messages, and associating the game with something common are all great tricks). If someone doesn't know about 'the game' you can and should explain it to them so they can start playing.
Enjoy. I just started playing recently, and as much fun as it is, I feel it very well may become the bane of my existence. Which is why I want to forget it…but unfortunately in doing so I'm playing the game… :-[ 😉
