WTF?? I didn't think this was a real thing but...

[sparepantsandtoothbrush]

I just lost the game?? 🤯 I've only ever lost it when someone else posts about it before 😂

.... taa for that.

Well played OP, well played.

Usually "the game" is in the title and I feel a bit cheated, but this will teach me to click on click-bait. I feel that you have played a blinder.

Kudos. And for those pissing on this, I am sure you all have very important lives which is why you are on MN AIBU on a Saturday night. I learned about the game pre-MN and I have been on here for 15 years.

I won for 29 years.. now i have lost :(

Work mate announced last week , that he had lost the game, due to random thought, I laughed, we then had to explain it too the boss, who gleefully announced it over a zoom conference.
The company MD, sent him a bottle of Scotch as he had reminded him to make his DD lose.
And do it continues.

bastard

Ah fuck! Why are people so offended by this?

Well thank you very much Jerry.

phew!

I had been winning for around 7 months. So this is a Covid times loss. Feels extra bad. Thanks op.

Just when I thought 2020 couldn't get worse

I'd been avoiding my own thread due to the negative posts but looked again and this made me proper laugh! I didn't like snort my drink out of my nose or wake my baby up laughing but it made me pause my Netflix episode to reply 🤷‍♀️

I've just lost for the first time!

Thanks for introducing me to it 🤣

Well, it makes Mornington Crescent look like a big barrel of mega-laughs, strategy and wit.

You’ll go to hell for that OP

Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Agghhh - I haven't lost the game for months!

Does it count if you never even realised you were in a game in the first place?!

@DisorganisedPurpose

Just looked it up. So by knowing about the game and thinking about it I have now instantly watch lost. But no one can ever win or at least no one can ever realise they are winning or know if anyone else if winning.

A flaw seems to be that according to the rules once you know about the game you are playing whether you like it or not. But then it says when you think about the game you have to announce you have lost. But I disagree i won't announce I have lost if I think about the game. Oh wait ...
Ok - I won't announce next time I think about it so I will have broken the rules? But I don't consider myself to be playing despite the rules saying once you know about the game you are playing.
Load of nonsense!

That's what we all think at first. Then in three months time you'll remember this thread and before you even think about it, you'll say to yourself:

"I've lost the game"

And whether you tell anyone or not, you'll feel faintly defeated.

Such is the nature of the game...

Which I have just lost. Damn you OP!

@TomBradysLeftKneecap

Does it count if you never even realised you were in a game in the first place?!

If you don't feel it counts this time...it will next time 😁

Nearly the weirdest thing I've ever read on here and obviously that's saying something!

Thanks for making me smile op. Love some of the responses! It’d been a few months for me.

I have no idea what people are talking about but then see stuff like this??

Ach, not only have I lost the game, I am really conflicted about which way to vote.
