*** Actually, the greatest fallacy in the concept of The Game is the absence of a winning condition. But to be a game, The Game should have one. Thus, The Game fails to qualify as what it claims to be, and so it is completely, absolutely and irreversibly compromised. So, we all can call ouselves out of it because the rules ''fail to comply as acceptable rules fo a game''. I'm not claiming of winning at The Game, because I didn't. [[BeyondTheImpossible I won ''against'' it]]. And haters gonna hate. (And don't think about claiming "the winning condition is that X must say 'the game is over'", since 99% of all people just cannot do it. It's almost like saying "to win you have to roll 7 with a regular six-faces dice". It would be still invalidated since the winning condition is unobtanaible.)

** Actually, in the version of The Game I learned, the first rule is "Everyone is playing the game, but some of them don't know it." You've been playing your whole life. If you had a problem with the rules, you should have complained before you started playing.

* The Game is merely just a mental illusion; an allegory perhaps to reverse psychology, the only way to truly win is to deceive your opponent into even thinking about it as per stated in earlier points, however this also doubles as a contradiction as you are subconsciously mentioning it; therefore creating a stalemate in which both parties lose. As [[WarGames Joshua]] said; the only way to win is not to play. So in other words, those who even created this meme are the the first and even the greatest losers as they were the ones who conceived this experiment in deception. Even our posts mentioning this whole thing makes us lose.

** You've escaped, just as this Troper did. Not won (that is impossible to do permanently), but escaped. Congratulations! This is because, by this Troper's logic, the rules of The Game are: 1) If you know about The Game, you are playing it. 2) If you think about TheGame, you lose. 3) If you lose, you must announce it. Therefore, if you claim that you refuse to play, or that you've WON (thereby refusing to lose while thinking about it) or if you consistently refuse to announce when you lose, you are cheating. In any reasonable game, players who constantly flout the rules are eventually disqualified and expelled from the game. Therefore, if you keep ignoring the rules of The Game, you eventually have to stop playing. InsaneTrollLogic ? Maybe, but this Troper stands by it. If, for some strange reason, you have been disqualified and want to ''rejoin'' the game, this Troper unfortunately cannot help you.

* TheGame [[PetPeeveTrope just bugs me]], it's one of the few [[MemeticMutation Memes]] I genuinely hate. Partially just because I think it's kinda stupid and is kinda overexposed, but the REAL problem lies with its very first rule, that as soon as you find out about it, you're playing it and you don't get to stop. That pisses me off! No game should EVER, '''EVER''' force ''anyone'' to play it! If someone doesn't want to play your dumb game, you let them, simple as that! [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking It even violates two of my personal]] {{Prime Directive}}s! Anyway, rant over...
