But then this thread would've been full of my posts stating I lost, because I calculate my amounts of loses is 34... 35. v_v

PS - Who is Uli?

Well, Uli, you posted in this thread, so you must think of it.
You lost! Oh, i posted here too. I lost too, right?

Posts: 289/427		 In the variant I know, you can't lose within 15 minutes of an external reason reminding you of the game (like this topic).

i.e. if you remember about that game on the bus spontaneously or whatever, next thing you do is going to the thread and posting that you lost.

It was a fad at this year's Ilmenau maths specialist summer camp. I remember a maths class where people were driving the (unknowing) tutor insane by throwing in exclamations like "Oh, I just lost." in the most improbable moments.^

I understood that as "You cannot win unless you forget about the game", but then you'd never realize you've won unless you lose by realizing it.

So, I can't consider it a game because there aren't winners. Can I say "It's not a game, it's a toy" like in the other thread?
No.

Posts: 527/873		 But you would lose the game anytime you told someone since you'd have to think about what the rules were, thus thinking about The Game making it a self started paradox.

Posts: 264/356		 Ugh... I've played that. It's weird. I try to stick to more sensible things like Mao and speaking Food Tongue.

Pear sauce food tongue? Food tongue grass cherry chocolate.

Posts: 4304/5653		 The Game: to remember you are playing the game means to lose the game.

In short, the only way to win is to forget you're playing the game and never remember it.

Though I don't play the game.

It must really be "an anti-memory game" since I don't even know what it is without reading the article.

Posts: 1522/1697		 I lose... Maybe, I'm not sure if it counts...

I started this at my school for a while, and quite a few people confessed that they thought about it by just seeing me. Counting how many people I told about it though... I lost quite a bit.

Posts: 4974/5814		 This is all going over my head. *_*

I'm just going to assume that at least more than one of you knows what's going on.

And fuck, you made me lose again.
