The game. You lost it.

What is the game? It's a game you lose when you think about it.
The moment you think of the game, it's all over. You lose it, and feel a huge surge of disappointment. Crushing defeat.

Don't think of the game. Never think of it. If the thought of "the game" even enters your head, admit defeat.
Yell it to all you know. "I just lost the game."

The rules are simple.

1. You are playing the game. Always.
2. Thinking of the game means you lose it.
3. You must say you lost the game when you lose it.

This sort of mind-game will never leave you. Once you learn how to play, you'll never forget, and you'll always be playing. It's a curse.

Every time you even hear the phrase "the game", you'll instantly lose it.

Even if someone said something innocuous like "I was being mugged, and the thug aimed his gun at me."
BAM. Thug aim. That's a loss, and thus, you must admit you've lost the game.

It's brutal, never ends, and will drive you mad. Tell your friends!

Have fun, and be safe.
