Okay, here's my page for the copy/paste game that recently has swept the adolescent nation. As of now, it is not a real page, but if it could be created, i would greatly appreciate it. I am currently unable to create a page, based on having an unregistered account. Unsure of how to do this, i leave it in the reader's hands. I wish to keep the account i have or convert, but not remove and make a new one.

The Copy/Paste Game is a mind game in which the players may copy a specific phrase or pose which another player has spoken or taken. Upon pasting, the copied player must repeat the phrase or action.

Rules
Simple Rules
 * 1) The copying player must announce "Copy", "Copy That!" or a similar phrase to copy another player.
 * 2) The copied player must consent to the copy.
 * 3) The copying player must announce "Paste" to past the copied player.
 * 4) Upon being pasted, the copied player must repeat the above action or phrase. Refusal to repeat results in immediate disqualification.

Technical Rules
 * 1) You may copy only one phrase or action per person. Upon copying a new phrase or action, the previous is removed.
 * 2) You may not copy a phrase which was being repeated through a paste.
 * 3) If a player wishes to remove his phrase or action from play, a quick gibberish statement before copying can be employed. The phrase or action is thereby removed.
 * 4) The Copy/Paste game should not be taught to small children, as it can easily be abused in an unamusing way.

Strategies
Some players find it more interesting to use a copied phrase out of context so as to add subliminal meaning. Teamwork can create an extremely funny conversation if used correctly. Copying multiple people and pasting them in order can create a story, etc.

Psychology
This not only removes boredom from previously boring conversations, but also causes one to think before they speak, so as to not be copied.

Origin
The origins of the game are shrouded in mystery, but some believe it to have been created on a small university campus in the American South, perhaps in Tennessee, Arkansas, or Louisiana.
