The world is a game. We're all playing, and no one can win. So what's the point in playing?
It's about seeing what you can achieve in your game. Forget how the rest play, it's up to you how you control your game. If you cheat, who are you cheating? If you 'bend the rules' ARE you cheating? If you're bored of the game, do you 'change the rules' or simply drop out of the game?
It's your call.

So when someone says to you 'what's your game?' what do you say in return? If anything? Sometimes. Just sometimes. People don't like the way you play. They don't because sometimes you don't play the way you should be playing, the way people expect you to play.
This game's tough.

We're all playing. Some play quitely, and fairly, others play loudly and twist the rules of the game to their own advantage. Fair enough.
Does anyone own a Dreamcast?
I've had my say...
Envelope the truth and show the lies. It's all the same, you know it and you just don't care. Leave my game, it's mine. Not yours.
I'll play fairly.
My game will never end.

DAMN FINE post by Grix
I would give him a GAD for just for that...
Why? It is not directed at winning.. It is written well... Its not just about games. It is about strong feelings and motions and has made me think about stuff etc..
Of course he always wins, I don't and I am on as long as him and make posts not about gaming with lots of feelings and I get screwed over through my whole life. An example of this is.. I am going to school on a Sunday tommorrow OH WHAT BLOODY FUN...
Life Sucks...

After all, we'll never get out of it alive.

Thing is, we can't stop playing. This whole post was meant to be one whole metaphor. However I have completely forgotten what it was I was writing about and so I am only confused. Still, Amnesty international = good cause.

Dunno why I quoted that.

Don't take life too seriously.
