And glad to see you back, Conan. You best be sticking around.

People always get really angry whenever I announce that I lost.

Because that means they just all lost, too.

Yeah I know. But you'd think they could just mildly say "dammit" or something. I always get yelled at.

Once on halloween my friend said he lost the game and this random girl across the street turned around and shouted "FUCK YOU"

Lol, that's epic. When you've just lost the game you are a time bomb to everyone around you. The best part is they can't even cover their ears because doing so would indicate that they lost anyway. Some people I'm around will just know when you've lost and pre-emptively admit their defeat as well. It's mind boggling.

Also, I lost.

I was winning until I read this thread...apparently.

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.

This is one of the most retarded things I've ever witnessed on the internet.
