For shame Kat, declaring people to have lost a game that they have no idea what it is and are probably not interested.

Unless you mean the game of life, in which again, for shame. :p

I ain't lost nothing until i've found it, and because i ain't found this game i ain't lost it. But i may have lost my mind, does that count?

also:

"...is an exciting game in which the object is to do nothing. [...] The first person to do something after the game has begun is disqualified. However, as the definition of 'doing something' includes such concepts as breathing, thinking, or even existing, games of nop tend to last an extremely short amount of time. Indeed, in professional circles it is deemed a disadvantage to begin the game..."

Here is the complete set of rules, according to Uncyclopedia. Incidentally, I lose.


If you Die you Win the game however your dead so you have lost the game due to forgetting the game .... unlucky Chuck
If you think about the game, you lose the game.
You can not claim to have Won the Game this results in a losing The Game, don't do it
Forgetting The Game due to a case of amnesia will be considered a Time Out until a.)The person is re-informed of The Game or b.)The person is proven to have never forgotten about The Game, whether they remembered through their case of amnesia or they had faked the whole thing. In this case, they immediately die.


YOU CAN NEVER BE FREE OF THE GAME!!!


If you think about The Game, you lose The Game
When you lose, tell everyone near you that you've just lost, making them lose unlucky losers!
Once informed of the rules of The Game, you cannot stop playing The Game.
Do not try to win The Game. Seriously, you'll just get a big headache out of it and nothing more.
Whether thinking about The Game or not, you may not pass it off as "just another thing". Although at the same time, you can't make a huge, unsightly commotion about it, even after losing. This is overridden if you also need to make a huge, unsightly commotion about other things. It is perfectly acceptable if you make a huge, unsightly commotion about losing the Game, being cheated on by your significant other, and being mauled by a bear.
You can only explain The Game when asked the right questions. Examples include: "What are the rules of The Game? How do you play The Game? What is The Game?" (I broke this one, I know)
If you are asked about The Game, you HAVE to explain the rules, jerk.
Once you know about The Game, you have to play The Game. Not playing The Game is against the rules of The Game. You just lost The Game.
You can not refuse to play The Game, by reasoning of that by denying being involved in The Game, you must think about The Game, thus losing The Game. The only way to lose a game is to be involved in it, therefore, you can't not play The Game.
If you die while not having lost The Game, you get a patch. If you die while losing The Game, you are a loser forever.
If you die in The Game, you die for real.
When you die, you see your high score. However, as Methuselah has the high score in The Game (having never been informed of the game), don't get your hopes up.
Since The Game resets as soon as you forget about it (or 30 minutes for some. This has been widely disputed, and those who are mis-informed tend to make up their own time limit), you can technically NOT lose The Game just by always thinking about it; because it hasn't reset because you haven't forgot about it yet. However, many consider this to be a flagrant violation of the spirit of The Game, primarily because it is a flagrant violation of the spirit of The Game, so don't tell anyone or you're sure to be beaten.
If you break the rules of The Game, you don't technically lose The Game, but as above, you're likely to be beaten for it anyway.
You cannot say "I meant to lose." NO ONE ever means to lose...Stop trying to cover it up. You lost. Get over it.
If you missmell The Game vous have probably lost The Game, just in a different language.

These rules are enforced at all times by an angry half-deaf troll, and a very unlucky man named Wesly H. who generally hates you, and he hates your dog. You may dispute any breach of the rules with the troll, but it is not recommended.

Me and my friends at uni just had a 4-week-long assignment to make a game. It was so much fun being sadistic to people who actually cared about the Game. It was great just to see a ripple spread out across the building as so many people realised they'd just lost.

Doesn't matter. Now that you know about the game you're playing it. You can't not play the game.

to hell with the rules, there's loads of them everywhere you go, rules to how to behave, laws, policies of government, rules to maths, rules to how to fill in forms, rules to writing, rules to reading. to hell with them i say, one more rule and i will go on a rule breaking spree, yes i will stop using Capital Letters for a starter, then i'll work my way to burning empty government property, oh yes.

It wasn't about the answer, it was about the order of operations, and if parenthesis and exponents were switched in order.

Oh! I didn't catch that. Of course, in your equation Vojvodina-Nihon, there's no way the answer can't be 144- you *have* to do the parentheses first. Otherwise, what are you raising to the power of 2?

(, 5, +, 7, and ).

The open and close-parens cannot be raised to a power because they look an awful lot like the number 1, so we'll put them down as 1 each. The plus sign raised to the second power is 16, as it looks kinda like a 4. Five raised to the second power is 25. Seven raised to the second power is 49. Total: 92.

Then you execute the parentheses, the x÷+-'s, et cetera.

Well, you *can't* execute the "+'s", "-'s", etc. because you've now determined they're numbers. In any case, you're still a world away from "74". It's an intriguing way of looking at math though.
