I don't know about anyone else, but there are some weird things that make me lose. They are just triggers that always remind me of the game, even though they have NOTHING to do with it. Dragonflies is one of them ... don't ask me why. And the other thing is April Fool's Day. There is a story behind that one, but it's long so I won't get into it.

Here's some things from the old LoseTheGame.com forum:

denny's and fedex trucks.
The worst is when you're playing a board game or something, and when you win you exclaim "YES! I WIN! CRAP! I LOSE! But I win this game."
Of course, Rob Gorish always makes me lose as well.
The techies at Sprague High School. Trillian. Myspace. et cetera
Bananas.
Strangly enough... music/songs. Because the people I play with on vent say they lost the game in a rythmic fassion...
ducks...the people who intoduced the game to me have a friend whose sister-in-law's bathroom is decorated with ducks. and now, if anyone quacks or if i see a duck, i automatically lose.
The phrase "Damn you" (as in "I just lost, the game" "Damn you")
"*"click*" We were discussing keeing track of losses with one of those pocket counters, like in the Lynx "Click" adverts
The presence of various people I know who play the game
Steven Gerrard
Anytime I remember, or realise i've forgotten something
the word 'the' on its own.
seeing a wasp, or a bee (mostly leading to discussing opinions of wasps, bees, and the game.) Don't ask just how we got /that/ link!
The word 'aardvark'. For some strange reason.
I just lost The Game while reading the Wikipedia article on Wikipedia, got triggered by recursiveness.
Traffic lights make me lose the game.
The red is like my memory is stopped and not thinking about the Game
The yellow is like when I am starting to remember
and the green is like when I am like, crap, I lost
TRAFFIC LIGHTS TRAFFIC LIGHTS TRAFFIC LIGHTS!
Chicken. We were watching the "Leeroy Jenkins" WoW video when I lost the game right at the end when he says, "at least I have chicken." Ever since then chicken will trigger it.
Being around/thinking about people who lose the game a lot
The word "game" or "lost" or "won/win" or "remember" or really anything to do with memory
The word "squareular," which is very random and not even a word, but my friend and I made up this word and then simultaneously lost the game right after simultaneously remembering the word...so now we associate the game with the word "squareular" (which, by the way, is a combination of "square" and "circular," used to describe a square with curved corners)

I suggested to a friend that when he saw spinners (car wheels) that he would lose the game. Crap! now I lose when I see them.
Adam Hollock. He brought the game to Crestwood High school and now single-handedly forces everyone to lose. He says 'game' at random intervals, walks up to people and says 'what do you ascosiate with me' or just stand silently in your way in the hall until you lose the game, which happens to be quite quckly.
Ice water. I was drinking it when I first came to this site.

sooo, thenceforth anything having to do with drag queens, cats, Robin Williams (linked thanks to his skit about cats being innate drag queens), and Frankenstein (linked because i did a Frankenstein play, and would always laugh about Robin Williams broadway special backstage), or Credence Clearwater Revival instantly causes me to lose.
also Eminem. not sure why though.

It being half an hour since the last time I lost, sometimes (accurate to within 5 minutes)

"It's like one big mind game that everybody playin' at." - Talib Kweli (Love Language)

Things that make me lose:
*Seeing anyone I've ever informed about "The Game."
*Hearing (or thinking) the phrase "That's what she said..."
*Thinking about something that crossed my mind previously
*Dreaming (yes, last night I dreamt, amongst other things, that I lost The Game)
*Thinking about any other dream I've had, which automatically leads me to thinking about "The Game" dream.
*Looking at a clock
*Purple Post-It notes
*Signing onto AIM... because one of my friends always leaves the final words of his profile as "The..." and another friend's buddy icon says "Don't Lose The..."
*Asking someone/being asked what time it is
*Hearing someone talk about a game (sports/video/board, etc.)
*Playing cards, especially Euchre
*Studying / Going to Calculus Class
*Hearing either "integral" or "derivative"
*Playing/Listening to <i>Pilatus- Mountain of Dragons</i>, by Steven Reineke (A friend wrote "The Game" above measure 163 of my copy last week, and now I've lost it there ever since).
*Retracing my steps (to find something), because I always remember the last time I lost, which makes me lose once more.
*Letting my mind wander- some how I always end up thinking: "It's been a while since I've lost The Game."
*Logging onto Facebook, because this group's updates appear on my Facebook homepage.
*Seeing a $2 bill

That's pretty much all that I can think of, lol

I hope you aren't as badly conditioned as I am, to lose The Game after any of the above situations.

"Why don't you play The Game?" - Daft Punk (Digital Love)

"The words "I" "just" and "lost" make me lose." - weirdo

yes, connection made in my brain between two things, puns are the worst for me.
winning anything, losing anything, or just getting lost
lost the tv show
starting a sentance with "i just.."
singing out loud
hearing my housemates sing out loud.
my watch alarm going off.
talking about games
the word "loft"

"I played The Game and felt the pain but I am stonger now." - Some untitled track that just started playing on my computer...

This group makes me lose! Everytime I see it in someone's group list, I lose! I say we make a resolution that if you lose because of this group, it doesn't count. Agreed?

"Same old game that never ends" - The Offspring

"I don't wanna lose" - It Could Be Sweet, Portishead

waht makes me lose is seeing the fact that I'm a member of this group every time I log on to f***book!

I might have to leave the group :-(

It's actually kinda cool how I lose. I go to school with a awesome group of friends and most of them play the game. Basically whenever we are together we lose. It may sound like a terrible thing, but actually we have some awesome memories when we lose.

Things I lose to:
*Arrested Development
*groaning
*snipers
*spring break
*memories
*trying to remember something
*twitching
*a french painter called Gustav Courbet (I don't recommend his art)
*associations
*facebook
*my blog
*awkward silence
*math

I lose in simple ways.
1. Seeing the soul-consuming FedEx "arrow"
2. AUSTIN?
3. Someone else exclaiming their loss of said game

anytime someone makes that im dissapointed something crappy just happened noise like. awwwhh. i lose
it never fails

anything and everything.

this group

"Think about you, think about me. Think about this, think about that. I'm dangerously thinkin', thinkin' 'bout me sittin' here thinkin'." - Roots Manuva (Thinking)

there is a game about the tv show lost, so my friend went out of state and hadnt lost the game in like two months until he saw "lost: the game" i would have been pissed if i were him

whenever i remember anything.

also, abraham lincoln.

thats all.

Stupid facebook makes me lose!!!!!!!!

facebook makes me lose... thinking about anything makes me lose... if i let my mind wander i lose... being in a quiet room makes me lose (which sucks cuz then i feel like an idiot for saying "I lose" cuz nobody in my stupid town knows the game) studying... basically anything i use my brain for...

Anything and everything. Weirdest one is the song "Now I Have Everything" from Fiddler on the Roof, since one of the most epic losses I've ever seen involved a friend who was playing Perchik losing because one of his friends held a sign saying "The Game" up from the audience in the middle of the song. He managed to finish and then came backstage and swore for about ten minutes solid. That was also my introduction to the game.

Also seeing or mentioning any one of my friends who play, the phrase "you lose", and the other game two of my friends play which involves sneaking up behind the other person and saying "bang you're dead" while pointing at them as if you're holding a gun.

i lose usually when i am just telling myself that i need to remember something and then boom i remember the game and i lose

Anything awkward. Whenever I think "Oh, that's awkward" I lose the game. Anything computer related, such as AIM or facebook. Also, any friends who know about the game. When I think of them, I lose.

Basically, I "officially" lose every single grace period.

whenever i try to think back on something, or whenever i see a fellow player of the game that i havent seen in a while, I think "oh, its so-and-so who plays the game". Or when ever i go onto wikipedia or google, and now i lose it every time that i go onto FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aphex twin - pac man (techno remix)... at about 2:57

Haha, There are some amazing triggers. Some of my triggers are

repeatedly saying ketchup
Daterape ( DR in the presence of minors )
Groping

Seeing people that refuse to play the game
Chapel ( We now have the rule that we can't play the game during chapel.. my pastor got mad when twenty of us shouted I LOST in the middle of it )
DC ( don't ask )
there are more, I just can't think of them until they trigger I Lost.
