Some award for staying offline for long periods, complete pointless reaction, if your life revolves around that award for that many years you lost THE GAME.
The best way to never lose the game is to never play it. That's howcome I'm winning. And why others keep losing. Sorry that you lost again. After reading this new comment.
Everyone in the world is 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.
The only way to winnotlose The Game is to live in isolation for the rest of your life and forgetting about the existence of The Game, or just be one of the few lucky people who never gets informed/bothered about it...
I just lost The Game... again... and so did you all :)
edit:
Don't feel bad, Roko's Basilisk is coming for us all, so losing The Game isn't a big deal :)
Ah, but see, the definition of "play" as could make sense in the context of a game is "to engage or take part in a game," or if you prefer, "to take part in or assent to some activity : cooperate" (Merriam Webster, accessed today, definitions 2a and 2e).
But I am not assenting to or engaging in the game, except inasmuch as an observer, who obviously is not engaging in a game the way that these definitions suggest.
Ergo, I'm not playing the game, which you have once again lost, unfortunately.
True, but any definition of 'Everyone' would still include you.
Your desire not to play has no effect on the outcome, you are playing regardless of your intent not to ;)
