Seeing as I managed to introduce Jasper to the concept of The Game over Microcon, I thought I'd see if I could get the fforumites interested in The Game as well.
The Game is very simple to play. It only has 3 rules.
(1) As soon as you know about The Game, you are playing The Game.
(2) When you know you are playing The Game, you are losing The Game.
(3) When you have forgotten you are playing The Game, you have won The Game.
Therefore, you are all playing The Game now. You are all losing The Game now. When you have left this page, and have forgotten about The Game, you will be winning it.
When you lose The Game, you announce "I've lost!" At this point, most people around you will wonder what the hell you are talking about. But others, those who know about The Game, will swear and attempt to hit you, because you will have reminded them about The Game, and they will have lost, too.
Of course, you can also play it the way that we seem to be playing it a lot round here - when you lose, you go up to someone that you know is playing The Game, and tell them "You've just lost!" Then they try to hit you. Initiate all your friends into The Game. Let's make this a world wide movement.
I drink to drown my sorrows. Unfortunately they've learnt how to swim.
