I just lost the game, so now you have to play.
I just lost The Game!
If you were already playing The Game, you have 30 minutes to forget you ever read this (Sorry, but I'm just following the rules). If you weren't already playing, you are now.
Welcome to The Game.
Rules
- To know The Game is to play The Game. One can never stop playing.
- To think of The Game is to lose The Game.
- When one loses The Game, one must announce to all present that one has lost. (For example, "I just lost The Game!")
- To hear about a loss is to earn thirty minutes to forget about The Game.

I’m trying to record the spread of The Game in an online family tree at http://www2.tribalpag...=9&rand=143131117
damnit >.
bugga! i lost the game!
the game amuses me endlessly
speaking of which I JUST LOST THE GAME!
it gets even more difficult when you start associating people and things with the game
we play the game all day long at work… damn, I just lost the game
I don’t get this… Did i just lose?
Ian — yep, I’m afraid so. But dammit, you just made me lose, too. How does this stuff keep rearing its head every year or so?
i lost the game…i thought that my sisers boyfreind made this up?? =0
If I say, “I don’t want to play The Game,” do I win The Game?
nope
I have level 17 haxx, so I win the game.
oh MY GOD, I AM GOING TO KILL MY FRIEND FOR SHOWING ME THIS SITE….SHE MADE ME LOSE THE GAME AGAIN…….
OH WELL.
damn…..
I have heard of a fifth rule: You win the game if a national leader announces they have lost the game on live tv. I may just climb the ladder of power just to end it all. Also, denying knowledge of the game when it has been explained to you annoys the hell out of fellow players.
P.s. I just lost the game!
As soon as I remembered of how much I’m good at winning the game, I lost
I always thought the game ended once the Prime Minister of England went on international television and announced that he had lost the game.
I think it would be funny to have “I lost the game” as a headline on a national newspaper. It would be a great little joke. By the way, I lost the game.
oo ur a turd burger
if i manage to get on tv and say i lost the game do i win?
If you want to be a jerk like me, I’m selling “I lost” t-shirts: http://peterissorry.spreadshirt.com
jesus christ. this game never ends. and i just lost again. but it’s ok cause i’m just gonna go to work and redeem myself!
The game is so last thursday, 2005.
does anyone know where the game originated from? or how to find out???
I cheated at the game.
girrr i lost the game now, too
Best. Tombstone. Ever:
I may be Dead, but you have just lost the game.
I lost the game… there…
I was winning the game…until today.
i have a friend who when ever i say “i just lost the game” she claims a “grace period” of an hour and claims she did not infact lose the game. Another one of my friends and I think this is total BS. When ever you think about the game, on your own or hearing someone else mention it, you lose reguardless
am i wrong? or do i owe an appology?
P.S. i just lost the game…
1.) i just lost the game.
2.) Jack, you can never win the game.
3.) Jacob, you are not wrong, she’s just doing what women do best… Cheating. you don’t have to appologize, because if you think about the game you lose the game. That’s the first rule of the game.
I lost again today. And yes, bitches cheat.
I was under the impression that you have 30 minutes to forget you’re playing before you lose…but I’m probably wrong.
Also, thanks, jerks. >:(
RTFR!

Srsly.
I just lost the game
thanks william
i think that if you earn thirty minutes to forget once you hear about the game defeats the soul purpose of the game. I interpret the game as a way to kinda sorta make your friends mad at you either by making them lose the game or by them being oblivious and not knowing what is going on which two will make them angry.
SO if its true that if you hear about losing the game, then you get 30 minutes to forget, that turns it from making people angry in a playful way to embarassing your self because your friends can say “hah, grace period” (like the girl in my original post does) and not lose.
that is kinda bogus to me, to hear about the game is to lose the game because you atomatically think about it.
i hope that all made sence and i didn’t waste ya’lls time
There is no rule 4.
http://en.wikipedia.o..._Game_%28mind_game%29
You lose. Then you have time to forget about the game. Then you start playing again. There is no loophole. You can’t not lose the game if you hear about the game.
There’s no grace period, because as Jacob said, to think of The Game is to lose The Game. There is no 4th rule, because to claim that there is a 4th rule is to cheat The Game, and The Game cannot be cheated. But if there is no 4th rule then there can be no 5th rule. So, the 5th rule, which would have been, “If a Strong Political Figure (say, the Prime Minister) was to go onto international television and announce to the world, ‘I just lost The Game.’ the game would end.” So I ask you, can the game ever truly end? Of course not, that’s one of the rules of the game. Now that we are all playing the game, we can never stop playing the game. Many people will try to cheat the game, but I view these people as the ignorant pests that will always exist in our lives. These people will always try to cheat, and will find many ways to make themselves feel like they are better than us. My point in all of this is simply that if you claim to have a grace period after hearing of The Game is to attempt to cheat The Game, and to succeed only in making a pompous ass of yourself. I also think that claiming an existence to rule 5 of The Game is to attempt at cheating The Game. There is no rule 4 or 5, it’s that simple. One can never stop playing The Game, and one can never cheat The Game.
Ah, i have never been so glad as to lose the game, cause now i remembered to show that girl how BS the “grace peroid” is. Thank you all for helping me totaly own her.
Thanks again
Lost for the second time in my life, after hearing about it. Now I fear my third time…
congratulations, you lose again
