The idea of the game is to list a common occurrence that many may think is usual, but prove to the public that it is, in fact, a scheme that Nicol Bolas has devised. Each person posts a response to the previous's "common occurrence", saying how it is a Bolas Scheme, followed by their own common occurrence.
Example: Person A: "Gas prices are on the rise."
Response from person B: "Through careful manipulation of the mechanical industry, he is attempting to weaken the explosive aoe power of red spells since gas is highly flammable. With this, he attempts to make his evil Invisible Stalker be that much safer while smashing a persons face in with a Butcher's Cleaver."
Next common occurrence: Your milk tastes like its expired earlier than the listed date.

Obviously just a mental trick to get you to throw away your perfectly good milk, thereby weakening your bones to the point that you will have to go to the doctor twenty years down the road to deal with your osteoporosis, unknowingly setting into motion an extremely complex series of events which results in Bolas becoming the Emperor of Manitoba.
Mr. Bolas is obviously very selective of what kind of excrement will be allowed to flow into the Blind Eternities: only those with a diet rich in B are worthy enough to have their bygone byproduct unleashed onto the Sewers of Estark.
Next common occurrence: Hot dogs are sold in packs of 10 while hot dog buns are only sold in packs of 8.
The ice cream cone is a key component to his machine that is designed to create omnipotent life from a planeswalker's spark. He trusts you will leave the cone on the ground, you filthy litterbug.
NCE: Your wife wants to take you to a dancing class.
Nicol has cast Slave of Bolas on her, forcing her to ask for the dance classes. If she is not successful, she will be sacrificed, leaving you with a guilty conscience. If you do take the dance classes, you are one step closer to falling into Nicol Bolas's cleaver scheme to make transgender regiments a success, thus having the world accept dragons into normal society, and soon enough, lord of the universe.
Next Common Occurrence: Bunny's have started to invade your yard. Your garden has been having issues lately.

Well, Nico's been hankering for a salad made from the most exotic greens spanning the entire Multiverse (and for some odd reason, he finds fescue more palatable than romaine).
Next Common Occurrence: Vinegar removes the oxidation from old pennies.
Through one of Bolas' schemes, he had to come up with a dance routine for a planeswalker, who eventually made his way to earth. This, in turn, brought into existence yet another meme. So, in essence, it was an inadvertent thing created by Bolas, which as normal logic dictates, "when a planeswalker gives you lemons, make lemon-aid", and is now using it as a means to distract the world from his other, grander schemes.
Next: You go to make a bowl of cereals, no more milk.

Someone else at your house threw away the milk because it tastes like it's already expired. (See the first reply on this thread for further explanation - that other person at your house is an undercover agent of Bolas!)
Next common occurrence: You draw your opening hand and see seven land cards.
Nico obviously wants to have these feeble neo-walkers at their Wit's End so he can harvest their despair and use it to create a "dangerous soup" that will have the Multiverse eating from his hand (or would it be "slurping" in this case ?)
Next common occurrence: Restaurants are obsessed with giving menu items illogical names (ex: what does a quesadilla have to do with John Coctostan?)
Obviously that purple Nerd in the box was set in there to make you question the manufacturer. This eventually leads you to wondering if this reality is the same reality with the manufacturer, who is supposed to do everything perfectly, in turn making you that much closer to madness. Bolas is pleased...
Next: The oven was left on when it wasn't in use.

Bolas was the one responsible for making it overpowered. It was 3UUU in the file, but Bolas changed it at the last moment. (I guess it doesn't help Bolas per se, but if Bolas sees people complaining about a card being too expensive, then he's satisfied with that.)
Next:
You open a booster of Saviors of Kamigawa and open One With Nothing.
Obviously Bolas has been controlling his mind behind the scenes in order to give noobs Grand Prix wins, thereby possibly getting them into an influential position with the Development team, which he can then destroy with the power of his minions, allowing his loyal servant MaRo to overthrow Gleemax. Duh.

This is a way to fuel Nico's burgeoning career as a cinematographer: someone dies, their spirit ends up in a cramped theatre, and Nico makes them watch every single moment of their life whether they like it or not (and whether it actually happened or not, because Nico loves to stretch the truth). He then harvests their ghost tears and peddles them as an energy drink in the streets of Orzhova.
Next Common Occurrence: Complementary mints at the end of a night of fine dining.
Bolas has found that making food a necessity leads to more greed and desire. This in turn allows him to predict, and thus manipulate, other peoples actions to help towards his devious schemes.
Next: A favorite magic card is found bent.

When someone hears his or her least favorite song, their anxiety raises and more often than not beseech a higher power to make the madness stop. That's where Nico comes in to alleviate this problem, but at a price.
Next: Incidents when "fast food" turns out to be "not-so-fast food".
Nicol Bolas wishes you to wait and contemplate the significance of eating fast food, and how bad it is for your body. This makes you feel guilty, and seek enlightenment.
Example: Person A: "Gas prices are on the rise."
Response from person B: "Through careful manipulation of the mechanical industry, he is attempting to weaken the explosive aoe power of red spells since gas is highly flammable. With this, he attempts to make his evil Invisible Stalker be that much safer while smashing a persons face in with a Butcher's Cleaver."

1) Baloth meat is very stringy and
2) To subtly tell you that your "favorite card" is unworthy of the arsenal of a Bolas Acolyte.
Next: Your pen runs out of ink.

Your least favorite song comes up on the radio.
