What is the game?
- A game where the goal is to not think about the game. Which means reading "you/I lost the game" makes you think about the game, therefore losing.
  
  So, you just lost?
  
  *we
  
  I'm not playing the game
  
  Everyone are playing the game, people who don't know about it are just better at it than everyone else. That's the whole point of it.
  
  Then when did the game start?
  
  Origin: In an article on The Daily Globe,[5] writer Justine Wettschreck stated that The Game originated in "the early 1990s" somewhere in Australia or England. An article by The Canadian Press[6] reported that The Game may have been created by London resident Jamie Miller, who claims to have started The Game in 1996. On August 10th, 2002, the earliest known reference to The Game online was featured in a post[4] published by blogger Paul Taylor titled "The Game (I lost!)", who claimed to have discovered it only six months prior.
