The Rock Paper Scissors Thread
« on: Mon, 20 July 2015, 11:10:27 »
I personally think we need a place to discuss the incredibly intricate game of Rock Paper Scissors.

Both strategy and player trends.

There will people that argue that this is not a skill based game, however I will adamantly disagree with them. It's a game of player interaction, requiring both parties to read their adversaries and determine their actions based on player trends and skill level.

Have any of you found any interesting trends among Rock Paper Scissor players or have any other information worth sharing?

I will start by mentioning that the average novice player will throw scissors first almost every time. The paper start is often a death sentence against a novice for this reason, while being slightly above average / less risky against a more experienced player (or someone who knows this information). Yet again, it's all about reading your opponent.

Thanks for your time and let the discussion begin.

There's no TP in this thread yet xD

Today's been a weird day. Read an article about coin flipping bias then spent a while talking to my friends about rock paper scissors. Then made a thread.

Back in the Stone Age the equivalent game was just called rock rock rock.

It ended in a surprising number of draws.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
