The Game!
Rule 1: You are playing The Game.
Everyone is playing the game. They always have been and always will be.
Participation in a game requires neither consent nor awareness of its existence.
Only when someone has told you about The Game does it become possible to lose, unless you independently create The Game.
The creator of The Game was the first person to realize that he was playing, and was therefore the first person to lose.
Rule 2: Whenever you think about The Game, you lose.
Loss is temporary. As soon as you forget about The Game, you start winning again.
It is possible for people to simultaneously lose The Game.
Causing others to lose The Game more than you is the only way to "win" The Game. Strategies usually involve leaving some kind of permanent reminder for others to see. e.g. answerphone messages, MSN pictures, forum posts, signs etc.
Rule 3: Loss must be announced.
This is the only rule that can be broken.
You must tell everyone you can that you have lost.
It is possible to explain The Game to someone without realizing that you have lost.
P.S. You are aware of and thinking about the game.
YOU HAVE LOST!
