The Game – You Just Lost It

The Game is an internet social game in which the rules are simple. If you’ve ever heard of The Game, you are therefore playing The Game. The purpose of The Game is to not think about The Game. If you think about The Game you have to announce to everyone around you that you have lost. You then have 30 minutes to forget about The Game before you lose again. The goal is to have everyone on Earth playing.

xPirates thoughts on The Game: First of all, I just lost the game. Second of all, I’d never thought that a game in which you aren’t supposed to remember the game would be so much fun to play. I know I’ve heard of The Game before, so I’ve been a long time player. It wasn’t till recently that I stumbled across the image above and was reminded of The Game. It sucks to go so long and then lose, but oh well. Now I’m able to spread the wonderful game on to the rest of the world in hopes that we players can reach our goal.

How realistic is our goal? I don’t want to say that it’s going to be an easy task, but due to the social phenomena where EVERYBODY talks to EVERYBODY, if people are correctly playing The Game, it becomes a very realistic goal. Of course, that also depends on how many people suck at The Game. Of course, if you are losing every 30 minutes, you are hopefully going to recruit more people into our intricate web of forgetfulness. Mathematically and sociologically, the number of people playing The Game should be increasing exponentially each day. However, given the amount of time The Game has been going on, mathematically our goal should have been reached by now.

Either way, keep on losing losers…
