Wow, RPS requires strategy and skill? And all this time my friends and I have been playing to see who has to clean the bathroom.

The Science of RPS

In a series of double blind scientific studies that were conducted over 15 years at the Howard Jung Psychological Institute in Switzerland, Doctors learned significant character traits about people as they assessed their game play. Here are some of their findings:

If a woman throws three straight rocks with any kind of regularity — she’s a gold-digger.

If a man throws four straight papers — he is whipped by his high school sweetheart and just doesn’t know how to get out of the relationship.

If a man throws two papers followed by a rock — he has never kissed a girl, but has touched a breast on a dare.

If a woman throws mostly paper — she’s recently written in her journal about how she told her boyfriend she misses him and he answered “But I just saw you an hour ago” instead of “I miss you too” and how hurt she was by it, and how she will exact her revenge on the uncaring bastard.
If a man mostly throws scissors, he also Googles his name every day hoping he finally commands a presence on the web, but always logs off weeping in shame.

If a woman rarely throws rock, she takes more than two hours putting her make-up on in the morning, and still wears too much eye-liner.

If a man rarely throws scissors, he’s followed Phish on tour for at least 3 months straight at some point of his life.

If a man throws more than four scissors in a row, he is addicted to playing Tetris on his cell phone in hopes of beating his own high score again and again.

If a woman rarely throws paper, she has at least experimented with another girl, and most likely has made out with her closest girlfriend, though she doesn’t consider herself bi.

If a man alternates throwing rock and scissors, he’s hoping to find romance on an internet dating site, but the picture of him flexing his triceps in a wife-beater standing next to his ‘92 Mustang just isn’t doing the trick.

Rock Paper Scissors is a sport of immense strategy. The champions of Rock Paper Scissors are only champions because they have trained and studied the rich art and subtle strategies of the game. True champions have a deep understanding of human behavior and the way of the mind.

True champions are intellectually adept at math, psychology, sociology and of course, philosophy from the Ancient Greeks to Wittgenstein. While it’s true that anyone can play Rock Paper Scissors, only a select few can master it. Some people assume Rock Paper Scissors is a simple game of chance. Those people aren’t champions.

You know, I read in a science article that there is actually some strategy to playing rock paper sissors, and theres a way to psyche out your opponet and play defensively and usually win the match if its 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5 or whatever

[Cadef]

I'm afraid I lack the physical prowess to go pro. I guess it's time to hit the gym... :yippee:

[WarMachineAE]

That's so tight! It's like an exact replica of the movie "Dodgeball" except it's Rock-Paper-Scissors... same story though.

Obscure Sport rises into a professional league and the tournament is held in Las Vegas for $50,000. How wild is that... it's the same backdrop!
