Go to Post I suspect the GDC is enjoying watching teams wrap their heads around this ranking algorithm.... and is probably a bit surprised that it has taken teams so long to clue in to the options this ranking system presents to them. - dtengineering [more]

The Game (Game)

I lost.

OK here is how it goes. It has been sweeping europe and such, now entering the USA recently.

The only rules of the game is, if you think of the game you have lost. Once you have thought of the game you must say "I lost". Then there is a grace period of 20 minutes and the game continues.

Any questions?

Re: The Game (Game)

I love this game. Been playing it for about 1.5 yrs now. Longest I've gone was 3 months without remembering the GAME (skilled player). Good to see it spreading.

Re: The Game (Game)

The Game is my favorite. I actually mentioned it in a post yesterday on here.

I lose probably 2-3 times a day. Some weeks I'll go without ever losing though.

Re: The Game (Game)

Hmmm... sounds familiar. As of a few days ago, I'd been going for six-seven months without losing, but I lost a couple days ago.

Re: The Game (Game)

Never heard of it... and I don't understand. Maybe I'm overthinking about it... but probably not because that never happens with me. How do you play and what is the objective?

Re: The Game (Game)

I've never even heard of it before and I lose every time I look in chitchat. Maybe if we have a power outage or something I'll win for a while.

Re: The Game (Game)

Question - if somebody announces a loss, does that person get the grace period, or does the grace period extend to everybody participating in The Game game as they witness the loss?

Can we have this thread deleted so we don't have to eternally lose?

Re: The Game (Game)

Is this supposed to be played in real life and not on a forum?

Somehow it seems that if everyone is constantly losing then this thread will constantly be bumped...

constantly bumped... constantly losing

It's a vicious cycle.

Oh, and by the way, I lost.
