"Good thing I don't play The Game!" - Half the Internet-using population.

This is a lie. Everyone just lost. Every single person who saw the thread's title has lost the game. You are losing it as you read this. You will never win the game because you cannot win the game. 'Tis merely the way of things. :/

Didn't you read the first post? You won!

Who is telling you that you can't win?

The Game is only like that because people agree to follow those rules.
There's no prizes, no cards, it's completely in our heads. By resigning
yourself to defeat like this, you're letting yourself be a slave to other people's thoughts about you. At least fight back, you know? Minds can be changed, and The Game can be rewritten if enough people want it to be.

*is taking this too seriously*

Okay.

The New Game:

#1. Everyone on the planet is playing The New Game right now.

#2. If you think about The New Game, you win.

#3. One win at The New Game is worth two losses at The Old Game.

I AM WINNING LIKE CHARLIE SHEEN RIGHT NOW

#WINNING

^^ I've lost count of how many times I lost today.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-06-16 02:47:55

but you see, if you're thinking about "the Game" you're thinking about both the New Game and Old Game at the same time.

So if we treat both games as variables (with the old one being o and the new one being n) we can set up an equation to mathematically prove that you're winning at the new game more often than you're losing at the old one.

Simply put: o = 2n

_{*note: I suck at math}

inkblot · 2012-06-16 02:48:42

Of course, there's nothing stopping someone from creating a New New Game to compensate for this.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-06-16 02:49:57

Nor a New New New Game to compensate for that.

ENDLESS CYCLE

^^ We don't know who struck first, the New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New Gamers, or the New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New Gamers, but it was the New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New Gamers who blocked out the sun.

I invoke xkcd's anti-mindvirus.

We all officially win.

In fact, a wave of win is propagating outward from my location on the Earth's surface, in all directions, at the speed of light.
