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?

Exclamation The Game (not the Robotics Game)

I'm sorry if you thought this was the game for this year, but it's a different game. Colin Nobles of the team I'm on (team 340) wanted me to post this for him.... There are a few variations of it, but here is the one we play. A large number of us started playing this game, it's really simple. If you think about it, you lose. Once you think of "The Game" you say "I lost", making all others around you lose as well. They must also say "I lost". There is however a 20 minute grace period in between "losing", in order for people to get it off there mind.

P.S. I lost ... that means you did to.
