The Game is a quickly spreading internet phenomena which has also taken root IRL. The game is well-known on forums and OL games alike, and has been praised and cursed for being annoying, useless and mind-bending in a way that has yet to be equalled by another text meme. It goes by no other title, aside from The Game. This may appear to give it a sense of importance, but in the same way that the Frisbee team sport is simply called Ultimate to its fans and players, it is in fact complete and utter shit with no real relevance or drama. The earliest known player of The Game is Rick Astley who said “We know the game and we're gonna play it” in his hit song Never Gonna Give You Up.

[edit] The Rules
1. In order to play the game, one must simply know about the game, and have a basic grasp of the rules. Thus, if you do not wish to become a participant of this simple but unfathomably stupid internet concept ritual right now, simply click the random page button. Beware: This may lead to goatse. If one does not read the rules and thus is not playing and cannot lose he wins.
2. There is no way to win the game, but one can, at any given moment, be winning. However, awareness that one is in fact winning will immediately make the winning person a luser. The reasons for this will now become no clearer. It has been speculated, however, that the game may be won by, after learning of the game, never thinking of it again until your death. If you manage to attain this feat, then you can consider yourself as having won the game. You deserve it, given that your lack of thinking about the game must be a result of Alzheimer's, amnesia, or being a dumb shit.
3. In order to lose the game, one must simply think about it. You heard right. This means that in order to maintain a certain vague level of success one must know of the game, but not be cogitating it at that moment. This means that by uttering the words “the game” on the internets, or saying them aloud in a public place, you are condemning any present players of the game to a similar loser fate.
4. Optional rule. If a participant does, on their mental travels, briefly remember the fact that they are playing the game, and thus lose, they are obliged to tell anyone nearby that they have just failed in their subconscious attempt to remain victorious. The most common phrase of use in these circumstances is simply “I lost the game.”
5. Lesser rule. If anyone loses in the fashion described in rule four because of some asshole, they have a moral, but not rule-based, responsibility to kick the living shit out of that person, or resort to any number of handy intarnet slurs, if this takes place OL.
6. A rule that is both optional and lesser. Since the realization that you lost the game can occur several times in rapid succession over the course of a few minutes, you may decide that you do not need to inform everyone else each time you lose the game in the same hour, or whatever. People who follow this rule are known to the game as losers.
7. ????
8. PROFIT!
1. If your name is either Mike or Danny, you immediately lose the game, for all time, and are , on top of that, a gigantic faggot
P.S.: Essentially, by the fact that you have just looked at this page, you instantly lose the game, likewise I just lost the game by writing it.
P.P.S.: A perplexing game. The only winning move is not to play.
Last note: And when you're dying I'll be STILL ALIVE.
Final last note: And when you're dead I'll be STILL ALIVE.
Still alive. Still alive.
[edit] The Prize!
There is no prize for winning the game, just as there is no logical way to win it. However, it has been theorized that it is only by winning the game, as well as completing various other internet and meme-related tasks, that one may truly become God-Winnar of the Internets. The only two other tasks prophesied of the God-Winnar are a successful jihad against furries, (Culminating in the permabanning of the Furry king himself.) and the ultimate destruction of habbo hotel.
Rogue scientists and theologians have theorized that by learning about the game and becoming An Hero before losing, one my in fact win by having played but never thought about it. It is recommended participants experiment with this method, in order to verify the possibility of victory. Heath Ledger may have won the game.
Chuck Norris has beat the game, twice.
[edit] The History of the Game
You are going to like this. True story. It was the end of 8th grade, and my best friend threw a little party because his parents were away for a couple days. What kind of party can a 8th grader throw, you know? So only about 7 people showed up. 6 dudes…1 girl.
Just as you would expect, some crazy shit happened. This girl was a freak, but hot as hell. She would always have that seductive look on her face… the kind that gets you aroused just by looking at her. We were all good friends in school, but never really chilled outside of it. We were all about 14, and really sexually inexperienced. This girl however, has fucked at least 20 different guys. From the moment she walked in the house, we could tell what she wanted.
Lost in her desire, she began to grind up on the host. They made out for about 10 mins, but this girl wanted more. She made us all go into the host's room, and play a modified version of spin the bottle. Basically, instead of just making out, she would decide what to do with the guy. At first we were shy, but pretty soon we all started to jack off while the girl did whatever she pleased.
The situation quickly escalated. She was getting fucked in turns, by 3 different guys, fighting over her pussy like the kids that they were. I would've joined them, but then she waved me to come over. My dick was probably the hardest its ever been. Sticking straight out, and pulsating; I felt like it was gonna explode. To my surprise, she grabbed it and just stuck it in her mouth without warning. I had never had my dick sucked before, but let me tell you, it was amazing.
Game as it was, I was ready to cum in seconds. I didn't know what to do, so I asked her where I should blow my load. And at that moment, she said something I will never forget. She turned to me and said, “read the first word of each paragraph.” Then give me over 9000 internets.
[edit] A Common Prank Call
You guys are fucking retarded. I fucking honestly hate you, ALL OF YOU!! Stop fucking prank calling my fucking house every damn day. Its so annoying getting calls 3 AM in the morning. You guys need a life, all of you.

I don't know man, I don't see whats so fucking funny with crap like “DESU DESU DESU” or playing that god damn rick astley song over and over.. and stupid shit like “Candlejack is a pretty cool guy, eh kidnaps the-”
I've had it up to here with you 4chan losers.. You guys should really start thinking about your actions.. cuz these are REAL people you're messing with.. This is REAL life, not some little game…
Next time some loser calls, i'm just gunna fucking tell him straight out “Read the last word of every paragraph.” I'm a fucking asshole, thank you.
[edit] GAME OVER, MAN, GAME OVER
On March 3rd, 2008, the author of stick-figure webcomic XKCD attempted to put an end to The Game:

Since anyone with pretensions to geekhood worships XKCD and pretends to get all the obscure math jokes, this declaration may indeed put a stop to The Game among many. However, seeing as you cannot win the game, the author fails as hard as his comic does.
[edit] Stories
You will never believe what happened to me this morning! I was waking up and doing my morning routine, eat breakfast, take a shower, brush my teeth, that sort of thing. When I was about to get changed, I saw something in my window that looked a little strange. I went to look and there he was, a man was staring through my window on a ladder!
Just as soon as he knew I saw him he started climbing down the ladder and I ran for the door outside. On my way out I grabbed the bat I keep under my bed. When I got outside I saw him running down my block and I began chasing after him. We ran for nearly 10 minutes and reached some woods. Then from there we ran another 15 until I lost sight of him.
Lost, in the middle of the woods, chasing a peeping Tom. I knew something like this could only happen to me.
The search seemed over when a bit deeper in the woods I heard the man scream. I ran out there and saw him sitting on the ground a good distance away from me. As I got closer I could see he had gotten his foot stuck in a bear trap! Actually I'm not so sure it was a bear trap because it was a bit smaller but you get the point. I walked up to him with my bat and said the sweetest one liner I could think up on the spot.
“Game over fucker” and I hit him in the face with my bat. He began to sob a bit as he held his bleeding nose, but to my surprise he began to laugh. This startled me so I hit him again and said “what's funny faggot!” and he said, “read the first word of all the last paragraphs.”
