@OaxacaChihuahua

I find people getting furious about the game much more amusing than the game itself 😁
Me too. The OP made me smile but the rest of the thread has got me giggling. The absolute OUTRAGE! Grin

Oohhhh, you shite-bag! Grin

@Dancingbugbadge

I didn’t realise this was a forum for pre-teens… Do adults really play this shit?
I'm thinking you're too young to appreciate this - it's a thing for folk born in the 80s/90s generally.

Do people not have access to google?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game)

There are three commonly reported rules to The Game:

Everyone in the world is playing The Game. (This is alternatively expressed as, "Everybody in the world who knows about The Game is playing The Game" or "You are always playing The Game.") A person cannot refuse to play The Game; it does not require consent to play and one can never stop playing.
Whenever one thinks about The Game, one loses.
Losses must be announced. This can be verbally, with a phrase such as "I just lost The Game", or in any other way: for example, via Facebook. Some people may have ways to remind others of The Game.

Juvenile shite.

Rainbowx · 09/08/2021 18:52

Oh bugger good one though.....

elfycat · 09/08/2021 18:53

I've just told DH I lost the game. I've now explained it to him so he is an active player...

...only I'm sure I told him last time I lost. His memory is so shit he absolutely forgot all about it. I can always tell him about the game for the first time! Forever!

Skiptheheartsandflowers · 09/08/2021 18:56

Sneaky. I don't play, but you have fun now Smile

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 09/08/2021 18:56

Confusingly “The Game” is also a book about pick up artists and all that horrendo-barf stuff. I was for a moment sure that some jawline in a top hat had done some close-up magic then called him fat then touched his arm and he’s melted right there and then.

FayKnights · 09/08/2021 18:59

I mean this in the nicest way…you arsehole Wink

DreamingofTimbuktu · 09/08/2021 18:59

Get a life

OnlyTheLangOfTheTitberg · 09/08/2021 19:01

Damn you to the fiery pits of hell, OP, I’d gone months without losing Grin

SheABitSpicyToday · 09/08/2021 19:01

Damn that’s my 5 year streak ended

Redglitter · 09/08/2021 19:02

Well that went well 🙈

MichonnesBBF · 09/08/2021 19:02

Ooooh! Op you have been referred to as acting like a teenager/juvenile (how anyone of them can sit and write that crap and accuse you of being the above when they have had to resort to name calling and swearing is beyond me) 🙈. So I have to ask you one question

Are you Bovvvvvered?? 🤣

if its not your thing, why comment? If you don't understand why not ask?

I know who I think is being the most immature and it's not the op.

PPCD · 09/08/2021 19:04

I would usually be cross OP but ... well played. Well played!

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 09/08/2021 19:05

hahahahahahaha Grin

Well done OP, well done

phishy · 09/08/2021 19:05

if its not your thing, why comment? If you don't understand why not ask?

I suspect it’s the click bait title that’s right annoyed people. Getting people into a thread under false pretences.

grapewine · 09/08/2021 19:06

Do adults really play this shit?

I always wonder about this too. But I'm just getting old, probably.

Pedalpushers · 09/08/2021 19:09

I thought people stopped playing the game about 10 years ago...

NewNameADayKeepsSpiesAtBay · 09/08/2021 19:10

Even with the explanatory posts I still haven’t a chuffing clue what this game is actually about.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 09/08/2021 19:12

Totally uncalled for!
