Congratulations!

Thanks, I lost.

Holy shit. It’s been so long since I’ve lost the game, ditching Reddit probably helped

Lies! Lies and deceit!
The game never ends!

Our long national nightmare is finally over. I can now safely think about the game.

Does this imply the reader lost the game initially?

This is what 67 is. It has the same rules as the game except you win when you hear it

I cherish losing the game, so I will kindly decline. Having been playing for 20 years, the losses are way less frequent and now conjure up memories from days of yore. To lose now is to win a moment of contemplation.

And then, one day...

Your powers do not extend into that realm, sorcerer. You doom us all by deigning to enter it. Folly!

And once again, everyone has to be reminded that the only one who can end the game is the pope.
