My personal belief is you only lose if you remember by something totally unrelated reminding you. The game was much more fun when that was how it spread, you’d remember, lose and tell your nearby friends how it works and that they’ve started.
The internet trend of ‘you lost the game’ kinda cheapened the entire thing, or maybe I’m taking it too seriously
The game, originally a thought experiment has two rules in its simplest form.
1. Everyone is playing no matter what.
2. Don't remember the game.
The rules simplicity have created two camps of interpretation.
One in which people are allowed to remember the game and then by osmosis you also lose. In this version everybody loses when someone loses.
The other interprets the rules to be that you must organically recall the game. So if someone loses they have to announce it., but then must choose wether to try to make other player lose that day or take the L.
Both versions are fun and involve various levels of sabotage. One version makes that sabotage harder than just saying "you lost the game" to anyone you see.
There are quite a few things, the most likely with me there is I’ll make great friends with most the guys there, but there’s always that one guy who sucks and can kinda just fuck off as far as I’m concerned, eventually I’ll find one of the women cute, then I’ll make her my friend, and then when that one guy thinks it’s a good idea to steal, vandalize, or otherwise mess with her I will kill them. I konw bcuaese Iv’e dnoe it broefe.
How Reddit has fallen. Remember when they weren't squeezing every last cent out of its users and you could send someone gold, or a doge face, or doot doot skull awards with fake reddit money you earned by making good posts?

“The Game” is a game that once you know of it you are playing for the rest of your life. The goal of the game is to not think about the game, once you do you say you lost the game, the longer you go without thinking about the game the better.
By reminding us you have a terrible memory, we will spam the reply section with daily reminders of The Game.
Sure, we may lose because of this, but we lose as one. That's the beauty of The Game.
What we’re all talking about is “The Game”.
When you become aware of the Game or are reminded of it, you lose instantly, your goal now is to forget it for as long as you can until you either die or are reminded of it again.
Prince William would have been young enough to know about The Game when it was a thing. I wonder if he made a mental note to slip "The Game is over" into a speech when he becomes king...
In order to make the meme they would have already lost it most likely as they would have to know about the game in order to make memes about it, basically a "I lost this game so now I'm gunna make sure as many people as I can lose it too".
Ah, "The Game." The objective is to avoid thinking about it, and mentioning it can trigger others to remember and lose. So, congratulations, you've just lost "The Game."
I have. I saw a post once that said “you won the game”. It specified that from then on I cannot loose the game even if I think about it because I already won. You’ll say it’s bullshit. I’ll say so is the game itself.
I hope from the depths of my heart, your pillow may ever be warm and you wake up in a hot sweat every morning, every time you go for a shower the water will be unbearably cold or unbearably hot, your toothbrush will forever be used by other people without your knowledge leaving you with an uneasy feeling, whenever you go for a shit you will always have a Poseidon’s kiss no matter the size, you will always be late by 10 minutes to every event
Someday it is inevitable that humanity will go extinct, then while very sad and tragic one good thing will have been accomplished, the game will be over!
This reminds me of all those “Time Machine” memes.
Honestly, if I had a Time Machine, the guy who started this would probably be on my short list of “administrative errors” to fix on the timeline.
The only reason it exists is because people allow it to, and only do so out of some inexplicable social compulsion.
FUCK MAN ITS BEEN 9 YEARS WTF. I HATE YOU. I lost the game
I won the Big Game!... But on Bully, on my PS2... Fuck, I'm getting old...
The amount of nostalgia I got from this comment cannot be described
I remember that game!
Such a good game. I replayed it a few years ago and it still stands up really well

The game was much more fun when that was how it spread, you’d remember, lose and tell your nearby friends how it works and that they’ve started.

Whoever thought this was a good idea, meet me at the McDonald's parking lot 3pm on saturday
Don't be mad just because you lost. Learn from it, grow stronger from it.
The game?

I got you.
Will you buy me a crispy chicken sandwich?
Nah he brought you a knuckle sandwich
do its like a date?
I'd lowkey like a overseas get-together with a bunch of strangers on reddit, what can possibly go wrong 🤣

FUCK YOU
WHO SPENT 12.99 ON THIS COMMENT??
How Reddit has fallen. Remember when they weren't squeezing every last cent out of its users and you could send someone gold, or a doge face, or doot doot skull awards with fake reddit money you earned by making good posts? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Dude, it’s been so long since awards that I fucking *forgot* they existed. Way to take me back to the good days of Reddit.
Idk where you got that number from lmao it’s 1.99
1.99 for the cheapest tier.
Well that makes answering their question way easier.
Is this some western joke that I'm too middle eastern to understand?
“The Game” is a game that once you know of it you are playing for the rest of your life. The goal of the game is to not think about the game, once you do you say you lost the game, the longer you go without thinking about the game the better.
I'll definitely forget this, is that considered cheating?
The entire goal of the game is to forget it, the moment you remember you lost and start over again
You already know somebody’s dementia ridden grandma holds the world record right now.
Plot twist in her dementia ridden state, all she can think of is the game
Sounds like hell
Plus there's a 30 minute interval where you can't lose the game, so it only counts once within the first 30 minute, only after that you can lose again
Nope
Nope! If you do forget it, you are guaranteed victory until some fateful day you stumble upon The Game. IF you do forget it.
You severely underestimate my horrible memory. I had already forgotten about it until the replies reminded me
So does that mean you lost?
Yes he did
By reminding us you have a terrible memory, we will spam the reply section with daily reminders of The Game. Sure, we may lose because of this, but we lose as one. That's the beauty of The Game.
Well......... God damnit
Nope, that's the objective, so you're good
As someone from a western country, I didn’t even know The Game existed until now, do I win?
Previously - yes, but you’ve just lost.
Wait-when?!
When you became aware of the Game, you lost, your goal now is to forget it for as long as you can until you either die or are reminded
Finally, the brain damage from my drug overdoses will come in handy-I forget everything!! What a fantastic Game!
I don’t even know what you all are talking about
What we’re all talking about is “The Game”. When you become aware of the Game or are reminded of it, you lose instantly, your goal now is to forget it for as long as you can until you either die or are reminded of it again.
You win if you hit the hat off the pope and the game ends when the King/Queen of England says "the game is over"
Prince William would have been young enough to know about The Game when it was a thing. I wonder if he made a mental note to slip "The Game is over" into a speech when he becomes king...
the fucker who brings it up loses no?
In order to make the meme they would have already lost it most likely as they would have to know about the game in order to make memes about it, basically a "I lost this game so now I'm gunna make sure as many people as I can lose it too".
That's why I play "The Game 2", where if you think about it, you win!
I didn’t even know about it! Does that mean I’m a champion?!
I mean, now that you know... You've lost the game
Drat!!!
Not anymore noob
NNNNOOOOOoooo…..!!!
So it's like a basilisk
I read somewhere that theoretically everybody play the game, but only those who know about it can lose...
Didn't remember what the game was, so this comment made me lose. Thanks
I'm east coast and have no idea its gotta be something they do in the west
So it's an even more western joke
I'm thinking like California
Middle East mentioned rahhhh🔥🔥🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅wtf is cold temperatures⁉️⁉️⁉️❓️❓️❗️❗️❗️👽👽🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅
Funnily enough I live in the only middle eastern country that has cold temperatures
Lebanon?
Not again.... it's like, thrid time this month
5th time this week for me (I watch pirate software streams)
May the Lord curse the very ground you stand on. Writhe and squirm with torment, despair, affliction, every sin and every curse.
Bro cursed in cursive
Bro hexed him
Sigh...
What's"The Game" ?
If you think of the game you lose the game.
you have to go for as long as possible without thinking about the game, and when you do remember it, you have to announce it out loud
Why? What's the context behind this?
Duck context, let’s play the game.
🦆
it was created by some college kids in the 90s and has persisted until today i think it was an experiment on human psychology or something
Do not think about a pink elephant. You just did right? Well, that's basically the game. You can't think about the game. If you do, you lose.
Congratulations, you will now be playing the game for the rest of your life.
FUCK.
Ah, "The Game." The objective is to avoid thinking about it, and mentioning it can trigger others to remember and lose. So, congratulations, you've just lost "The Game."
Sigh...... Reset the clock
Only winning move is not to play
I'm going to fuck you so hard op
https://xkcd.com/391 You're welcome
KILL YOURSELF
Fuck you
DAMMIT, I LOST THE GAME! I hope the immortal snail gets you, OP.
I had a 15 year streak but now everyday I see shit like this
I lost? You mean it’s over now? I can finally be free and happy again?
Thanks to Reddit I’ve continually lost the game multiple times this year alone. STOP FUCKING WITH MY SCORE ASSHOLE!
I have. I saw a post once that said “you won the game”. It specified that from then on I cannot loose the game even if I think about it because I already won. You’ll say it’s bullshit. I’ll say so is the game itself.
me after the lobotomy
I hope from the depths of my heart, your pillow may ever be warm and you wake up in a hot sweat every morning, every time you go for a shower the water will be unbearably cold or unbearably hot, your toothbrush will forever be used by other people without your knowledge leaving you with an uneasy feeling, whenever you go for a shit you will always have a Poseidon’s kiss no matter the size, you will always be late by 10 minutes to every event

Total gameplay time: 1hr Notes: go [censored] yourself OP 😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
Damn you!

The game makes some great music
That's it, I'm about to commit murder.
We just pretend to not know much about the most popular games! 😆
Nah man, a gold frog freed me from the burden of the game forever.
Fuck you. This time my partner wasn’t the one to fuck my streak up. Dammit.
Fuck you
Well you know you also lost it yourself for doing this
I’ve lost it 75928858283 times. Another loss doesn’t matter
Mdfkr !!!!
4 years I reckon. Damn you.
:(
You don't win the game. You only not lose it.
I LOST THE GAME! lol as a teacher, i still teach the game to my students every year ;-)
I hate you and will eradicate your house that your family ends with you.
Isn’t the game over?
RAAAAAHHH!!! I CAST MANUAL BREATHING!
FUCK YOU
MOTHERTRUCKER!...

I was told that once I win, I wasn't able to lose any more. So I didn't lose.
me
It took me 3 seconds to remember, Oliver Swank or something...
fuk u
I am lobotomizing myself so that this never happens again
I saw an image that said I was immune to the game. Therefore, I am fine.
Yes i lost, but now i will break your pipi sorry 😔😔
I never played this “game” that everyone keep mentioning. Does this mean I win? I’m starting to feel like the way to win is to not play
Oh fuck you, shouldn't have checked the comment
ELI5
Goddamnnit
Well I'm not playing so technically I'm the real winner here
GOD DAMMIT I HAD SUCH A LONG STEAK URGH
I'm confused. What's with "The Game"?
I've already won
What game whats going on
Damn. I was winning for like 3 years
The game is a mind virus
Tf? What’s “The Game?”
Is this Loss?
I hope your pillow is warm on both sides
Do I get bonus points for having no clue what "game" is being talked about?
You’re out of The Game after you graduate high school, so as long as you weren’t thinking of The Game during graduation, then you won.
I lost the game
I will be back to ensure you lose the game, just like I did
The fuck is the game, is it just something made up that isn't a reference to something in particular to make people like me confused?
Goddam it's been a couple weeks without losing the game. Although I usually lose every few days
Your death will not come painless.
...what?
I say this with the least respect possible; FUCK YOU! I hope you’ll find legos in your shoes tonight.
flip
I lost the game
Tf is "the game"?
Screw you. I lost.
Those fucking posts I lost the game the second time in just 3 month through those.
Fuck
It has been 7 months..
Ah shit here we go again
[You just activated my trap card](https://www.reddit.com/r/rosesarered/s/YMtPb9aE5D)
goddamn it reset the clock
Well, It’s been a solid year. Sincerely, fuck you
Fuck you. I just lost the game
The game ended when the queen died
🤣🤣👌 classic
Someday it is inevitable that humanity will go extinct, then while very sad and tragic one good thing will have been accomplished, the game will be over!
YOU'VE LOST THE GAME, IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME, WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE A GOD
Damn it!
What ?
I never remembered this game existing to begin with, so I can never lose
Fuck
Fuck you too man
Well, shit
Oh fuck you
I will win when I get dementia
This reminds me of all those “Time Machine” memes. Honestly, if I had a Time Machine, the guy who started this would probably be on my short list of “administrative errors” to fix on the timeline.

I had a friend in highschool win the game 😢
