I lost the game, and will every time I come into this thread!

exactly. so long as your willing to accept that you've permanently 'lost' the game you're always 'winning'. same as gaining everything by wanting nothing. it's a perpetual paradox.
though for the sake of semantics and the time i spent in school 'the game' isn't actually a proper game. it's more of a psycho-social activity/challenge.
a proper game offers a series of challenges that can be overcome by the player first through intuition and secondly through chance. 'the game' doesn't provide that and is more of a mental gymnastics / pseudo-philosophical exercise.
