This is the only rule that can be broken, but do you really need to cheat..?An incurable mind virus unleashed by scientists in the 1970s

• An unprecedented social experiment involving every human mind
• An infamous psychological challenge that broke game theory

Are you sure you want to know more?

What is The Game?

• The Game is an abstract mental game with millions of active players.
• The objective of The Game is to avoid thinking about The Game.
• Play is continuous and never stops. You are either losing (when you are thinking about The Game), or not losing (when you arenot thinking about The Game).
• Players who lose The Game (by thinking about it) must tell other people that they have lost.

How do I play The Game?

• There are two common interpretations of Rule 1. The first is that everyone in the world is, always has been, and always will be, playing The Game. The second is that people start playing The Game once they know what it is. The Game is played all the time; you cannot quit, pause or take breaks.

• Most of the time, playing The Game does not require any active input and you go about your life as normal. However, according to Rule 2, every time you about The Game, you have lost. Loss is temporary; once you stop thinking about The Game, you stop losing, but you will lose again the next time you think about The Game.

• According to Rule 3, every time you think about The Game, and hence lose, you must tell other people that you have lost. Some interpretations state that you must tell as many people as possible, while others only state that you must tell whoever you are with, or talking to, at that time.

• An example of play is as follows. After you stop browsing this website you stop thinking about The Game. Tomorrow, you meet a friend who tells you ”Hey! I found an awesome Flash game I think you’d like.”. This makes you remember reading about The Game on this website. As you have thought about The Game, you have lost, and you must tell your friend something like ”I lost The Game!”, or ”Crap, you made me lose The Game!”. 

What happens when I lose The Game?

• When you think about The Game, you lose The Game, and you have to tell people that you have lost. Some people refuse to announce their loss after thinking about The Game, and as loss is a purely mental event, there is of course no way to prove whether somebody thought about The Game or not. This makes The Game a game of true sportsmanship; a personal mental challenge. If you cheat, you are only cheating yourself…

• One interpretation of The Game is that you do not lose when somebody else announces their loss. Following the core rules however, every time you think about The Game you lose, regardless of what made you think about it. Usually when somebody loses The Game amongst friends, the original loser is ‘blamed’ for making everyone else lose. When friends start to associate the same things with The Game, such loss triggers will often cause them to lose The Game at the same time. This is sometimes described as ‘drawing’ or ‘tying’ The Game, but, of course, everyone still loses.

Just had my training with my fellow eCSentric buddies. And I must say, I got left behind from all the dancing they’ve experienced. How disappointing to know what you’ve taken for granted, all those times now I want it so bad to be darn good in it. Makes me realize a lot of things aside from dancing. You MUST not take things for granted, but we’re only human, susceptible to the brink of stubbornness and all that foolishness. I’m really dedicating myself to dance, I want to build all these things:

• Character - On how I portray myself on the dance floor.
• Style - Our own identity while dancing, mine is soon to blossom.
• Elements - Must have an eclectic approach and see what fits.
• Groove - Darn. I can’t nail the groove of hiphop.
• Hits - Must MASTER especially this one. I’m a popper!
• Musicality - I’d suck if I don’t know what beats to hit.
• Mood - Must also portray the mood of the song effectively.
• Muscle Memory - What moves are suitable for my personality so I can do it effectively.

I’m thankful that I’m blessed with a talent for dancing. Not just someone who can dance his ass off, but someone who can connect to the audience. That the audience would appreciate, however I’m aiming for battles. I must develop all that I’ve mentioned above. I must have dedications for all these. And please, I’ll need all the support I can get to pursue dancing. Good thing I can instantly incorporate all that I’ve learned on the spot and include it in my style. Thing is… Must nail all these things down. 

For the love of dance. For honor. I really appreciate this day. Hopefully, I can also dance with my Dear! Dance and Romance. That is all for now folks!
