  Do you know about "The Game"?

The Game is an ongoing mind game, the objective of which is to avoid thinking about the Game itself. Thinking about the Game constitutes loss, which, according to the rules of the Game, must then be announced. The Game is continuous - once a player stops thinking about the Game, they stop losing.

There are three rules to the Game:
1. Everyone in the world is playing the Game. (Sometimes narrowed to: Everybody in the world who knows about the Game, is playing the Game.)
2. If you think about the Game, you lose.
3. When you lose, you have to announce that you have "lost The Game".

The Game is played by hundreds of thousands of players, on the internet and in schools and universities in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Japan and Belgium. Some players have developed strategies for making other people lose, such as writing "The Game" in visible places or hiding notes for people to find. The Game has been called pointless and has been known to infuriate some people. The origins of the Game are unknown.

Never heard of it until now. I don't understand why it would infuriate anyone, though.

*laughing out loud* YES and of course I just lost The Game too. Maybe this survey was a really dumb idea.... every time I check it I'm going to lose The Game again! *wince*

No, I haven't the slightest idea what this is all about. Sounds like a big waste of time to me, whatever it is. This doesn't seem to make any sense. Why avoid thinking about it if it's a game? Expand upon it please, if possible.

I'm going to want to put that after things I say now, as I find it amusing. Thanks.

Well, I was totally winning until you told me about it. If I hadn't ever heard of it, I would have won by default. Damn you! *wince*

I hope you lose.

I only lose The Game when people tell me about The Game. I never lose The Game by thinking about it myself, because I never found The Game that interesting.

No, never heard of it. I've only seen a few annoying "the silent game" bumper stickers. In any case, I am not playing and it sounds gay (and not in the homosexual kind of way).

Other. I haven't heard of the game and after I leave this survey I will still not know anything about the game. If that means I win it will infuriate me.
