Desbreko Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [CENTER][IMG]http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/4713/briefcasekz5.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [color=#4B0082]Welcome to the most awesome game thread on the boards. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_%28game%29][u]The Game[/u][/url] is simple to play, so I'll get right into what few rules there are: 1. Knowledge of the Game is all you need in order to play. 2. You lose if you think about the Game. 3. When you lose the Game you must announce it. That's it! Oh, and by the way, you just lost. See, the great thing about this game is that, unlike other games on OB here that tend to foster short, spammy posts, this one encourages you [i]not[/i] to post. Because, if you view this thread and post, you lose. And you don't want to lose, now do you?[/color]
Sojiro47 Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Ok, I lose. Now, I have a question. If this thread doesn't encourage posting, what's the point? :confuse2: Also, the lot of you who viewed this thread before me, you forgot to post. ^_^
Papa Smurf Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [quote name='Sojiro47']If this thread doesn't encourage posting, what's the point?[/quote] Because Desbreko is a Site Admin, obviously. Wine and logic ftw! And thinking about the game ftl!
pooperson Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I hate the game. I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I HATE it! A few clarinets at my school made me start playing it about a year ago... Grrr....
The Spectacular Professor Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [QUOTE=Papa Smurf]Because Desbreko is a Site Admin, obviously. Wine and logic ftw! And thinking about the game ftl![/QUOTE] I lose. Ummm, yeah, we know that Des is an Admin. What he meant is "Why start a thread where the idea is [B]not[/B] to post. By the way, are you following Sojiro and trying to discredit him 'cuz he thinks Ninja over Pirate? Because if you are, that's not cool :animesmil . If not, forget I said anything. I'm kidding anyway.
Sara Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [color=#b0000b][size=1][quote name='Sojiro']If this thread doesn't encourage posting, what's the point?[/quote]Don't get smart. [quote name='Aceburner']By the way, are you following Sojiro and trying to discredit him 'cuz he thinks Ninja over Pirate? Because if you are, that's not cool :animesmil . [/quote]I very much doubt that. However, the ninja/pirate dichotomy is indicative of a much larger difference in worldviews. That is to say, one who favors pirates will tend to disagree with a ninja-supporter on many things, regardless of whether the two are aware of the other's ninja/pirate choice.[/size][/color]
PaganAngel Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 strangely, I've never heard of The Game before now. But now I have. And now I lose. Boo-hoo.

PaganAngel Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 AHA! I can put myself BACK in the game by distracting myself with Red 6's mispelling of "oscillating"! WOO! I'm back in as of... now. and now I'm gonna hit the submit button to this random thread that I forgot the topic to... it's just some random OtakuBoards thread without a title... it might be the picture capture game or something... AH! GAME! I lose again.
John Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [quote name='Desbreko][color=#4b0082]See, the great thing about this game is that, unlike other games on OB here that tend to foster short, spammy posts, this one encourages you [i]not[/i'] to post.[/color][/quote] And we can all see how marvellously [i]that[/i] worked out. :-D
Shinmaru Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 When The Game destroys the world (starting with OB), and Desbreko is among the few who still possesses a working mind, I've got dibs on being his annoying lackey. (I totally lost, btw.)
Ellerby Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]I've decided to not take part in The Game. This means that I can safely think about the game without having to worry about losing or spammy posts. This ultimately makes me a winner in anyone's eyes. I'd also like to mention that once my friend and I started a round of The Game and we both completely forgot about it so it kind of.. died. I hope the same thing, for OB's sake, happens to this thread. There is no Game.[/FONT][/COLOR]
Retribution Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [size=1]Won't we lose as soon as someone posts in here, thus bumping the thread back into plain sight? That's totally cheating. Maybe I should just stop coming to the Lounge so I can win.[/size]
Shy Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [size=1]Not thinking about The Game should be easy. Not thinking about Desbreko, mmm... that's a whole different story. -Shy [color=white]See what I did? I basically spammed, but I complimented Des in the proccess, so it's okay![/color] [b]Edit 1:[/b] I lose! [b]Edit 2:[/b] [quote=Retribution] That's totally cheating.

Zen Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [color=darkred][size=1] I guess I lost aswell. I was probably the first person to see this thing. Hah. Oh well. Will stab self in the eye everytime I see the words. [center]--------------------------------[/center] [b]In response to Shy:[/b] Okay. [QUOTE=Retribution][size=1] That's totally cheating.

Anakoni Stark Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 huh what are you guys talking about? there's a game with no clear incentive or objective? what? wait a second....does theroizing about how it works count as a loss? Now: Compliments [Shibuyaka Remix By Nick Zinner] Artist: Bloc Party Album: Silent Alarm Remixed
DaSilva Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Darn I lose. But technically so does Desbreko.He thought up the game, and posted it.

Maybe not, but it's worth a shot.......CRAP!!! I lost again. I.... wasn't..... supposed to...go....down....like this. GAAAAA!!!!
Boo Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [size=1]Hm, what is this thread about? *checks the first page* [b]Edit:[/b] Yay I won! Wait, I lost.[/size]

Ignoring the fact that you are winning The Game (and The Game itself) is how to win. Like the question of whether you want to know something and have it hurt you, or never know and never have to worry. And since I am normally sort of bitter, I say now that "I lose." No matter if you win or lose, its how you play [B]The Game[/B] .[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
Petie Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [font=Verdana][color=blue]Well, I guess I have no choice but to join the 215 other people who have lost (regardless of whether they said so or not) - "I lose."[/color][/font]
Sandy Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Maybe it's my bleached hair, but I just don't [I]get[/I] this Game. X( This is like one of those philosophical paradoxes, and I'm not that big into philosophy. It's too elitist to my taste. :P And so is The Game. I can envision it before my eyes: a hundred years from now, a bunch of stuck-up snobs sit in a smoky gentlemen's club repeating: "I lost".
