Regy Rusty posted:nine-gear crow is pushing the envelope Rock smashes Scissors, which cuts Paper, which in turn envelops Rock. That much we know. Question is, what move defeats Villainous Crow? Perhaps both teams can throw some sort of RockPaperScissors fusion hand which trumps the Crow? An RPS-Megazord if you will. Whatever happens next, we already know the true loser of the game.

Looks like Crow's really flipped his lid this time. Wait... Crow? Bird... flip? This is it. The ultimate play. A weapon to surpass even rock. ![]()

ssmagus posted:What's the hand sign for crow's blood anyway? A sort of curved hand with splayed fingers. You bend your hand in the shape of a wave (as in a wave of liquid, such as water or (in this case) blood, not as in waving), and you splay your fingers to represent either a crow's tail/wings or droplets/rivulets of blood.

I did not think this could get more intense than a 3-0 lead becoming a 3-3 tie, and yet here we are.

I go to bed with both teams in a comfortable P-P tie, and this is what I come back to? Damned if this LP ever stops surprising me. To summarise, nine-gear crow posted the following in the Team Right thread: nine-gear crow posted:It appears the lot of you have forced my hand. You'll thank me when this is all over. And then this in the other team's thread: nine-gear crow posted:I grow tired of this pathetic game. Team Right predictably reacted with confusion, and Team Left by honourably calling for nine-gear crow's blood. The truth is, I'm not certain as how to deal with this sudden heel-turn by nine-gear crow. One thing I know, however, is that the game ends this round. ![]() ![]() A) Make nine-gear crow an unperson. His name will be stricken from all official records of the LP, and all votes made after he upset the natural order of RPS will be ignored. This will result in Team Right winning, with a one vote majority for scissors. B) Decide the game with one round of Let's Play Flip-A-Coin. C) Decide the game with one round of Prisoners' Dilemma. The teams will vote on whether they (betray) or their opponents (cooperate) deserve to win. Observer thread, your votes please. Covski fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Mar 1, 2017 |

90s Cringe Rock posted:C) The players vote on which team wins. Tell you what, let's take this one step further. I'll add an option to end this via a round of Prisoners' Dilemma. someone awful. posted:flipping a coin is more in the spirit of the thing IMO, but I'm really kind of disgusted it'd end like this. For what it's worth, option A is essentially the fair result of the round. It could conceivably be counted as needing a tie breaker between paper and scissors for Right, but I think we're all loath to see this game go to another round via a tie at this point.

How would Flip-a-coin and prisoner's dilemma work?
|
![]() |
|
Flip a coin: Team Left, having scored the first point, chooses between heads or tails. The coin is flipped. If their chosen symbol is on the upwards facing side, they win. Otherwise, Team Right wins. Prisoners' Dilemma: Both teams simultaneously choose between cooperating or betraying. If both teams cooperate, they both win with 4-4. If one team betrays and the other cooperates, the betraying team wins with 4-3. If they both betray, the game ends at 3-3 and they both lose because they just can't play nicely.

I vote for the C Prisoner's dilemma, since they have both been betrayed by Crow, and have become prisoners' of his callousness.

C. I would like to suggest a three players version of prisoner dilemma. The third player being Crow. If all three players cooperate (paper), they all win. If two players cooperate (paper), betray/abstain player lose. If all three players betray (Scissor), they all lose. Only Crow is allowed to abstain (Rock). If Only Crow cooperate, he wins. If Two betray and Crow abstain, it is a draw. Edit: not sure if i should also add 'if only crow abstain with no one cooperate, he wins.' Nyaa fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Mar 1, 2017 |

Fedule posted:The teams are supposed to not read this thread, right? Yup, it's clearly stated in the rules. It's almost as forbidden as reading the opponent's thread! I've been pretty lenient about people slipping up, cause who would have expected someone to actually attempt to cheat at RPS? ![]() No matter how much I enjoy a good dramatic heel turn at the last moment, I'm going to refuse to let crow have any impact on the outcome of this game as a matter of principle ![]()

C is the most appropriate dramatic conclusion to this tale.
|

I would like to think A is the fair choice, but we might as well go with C due to thematic appropriateness. Also, I can't believe someone cheated in RPS. That was admittedly not one of the things I was expecting. Sad it has to end this way.

I'm voting for A, if only because I want to see Team Left blow a 3-0 lead.

Allow me to wrinkle the proceedings further. Crow's transgression is going to punished. This is not up for question. I don't know quite how I feel about the matter, however. This was clearly a violation of the spirit of the game, and yet it has been a source of entertainment and drama in these dark times. How slighted are we, really? I will therefore determine the severity of Crow's punishment according to the depth of the hatred across both teams. There are twenty-one non-treacherous players across both teams, and I will count their betray votes. 0) 6 hours. 1-3) 12 hours. 4-12) 1 day. 13-18) 3 days 19-21) 1 week Fate will decide. E: the teams will not be told any of this.
