We told you not to click, you poor, poor [[Jokers|fool]]. ((You should've listened. We were trying to save you.))

1. You are playing the game. ((Sucks to be you.))

2. If you remember the game, you [[lose]] it. ((And you will remember it regularly, believe us.))

[[3]]. You get half an hour to forget it after you lose it. ((Well, depends on the variant. 10 to 30 minutes is normal. Some people have to take almost 4 hours to forget.))

4. When you lose it, you must [[MotD|announce]] this to everyone in earshot. ((And not by whispering. Loudly.))

5. You have to explain the game to anyone stupid enough to ask about it after this announcement. ((Some people with kind hearts tell them they don't want to know. This is cheating and punishable by [[death]].)) ((or [[cake]]?)) ((No, not this time. Just death.))

6. The [[objective]] of the game is to forget about it. ((Permanently, if possible.))

In conclusion, YOU LOST THE GAME. Get used to it. ((The XKCD webcomic has a countermeme, if you can find it.))(([[http://xkcd.com/391/|*ahem*]]))((You can<del>'t</del> win the game, dipshit. EVER.))((There's also a filter on the forums which changes "lost the game" to "won twenty dollars and your self respect".))((Didn't the game end when Prince Charles publicly announced that everyone listening to him had lost and that "The Game" is now over?))
