I like this! However, wouldn't it make more sense to count the cooperation votes rather than the betray votes towards the length of the probation? After all "winning at any cost" was crow's plan all along, and if anything the cooperating players seem united by wanting his blood more than anything else

Per the extra rule it seems that the best way to spite Crow would be to all betray, so as to make him triple-lose instead of singular lose.

Actually only 4 since Frionnel isn't actually a registered team member, I just haven't had the heart to tell him However, it's starting to look as if Team Right might actually go for the betrayal! Was the hand in the scary glove really evil after all??

I missed all of this! Oh well I would have voted how everyone voted anyway. I know that Crow's move pissed off a lot of people on both teams and kind of ruined the game, but he also heightened the spectacle quite a bit, so I think it evens out. That being said, I hope lots of people vote Betray so that the villain goes to prison and we can all be satisfied that we did the just and virtuous thing and that happiness will return to all of us forever. That is, until the next game of RPS...

god drat is it possible to vote the thread 5 again? I sure missed a lot when I went to bed last night (I would have voted C regardless because how often would you see an actual application of Prisoner's Dilemma in real life?)

Looks like Team Right's going to betray. Their hunger for victory has taken its toll on them. Victory they will have, but AT WHAT COST??? AT WHAT COST????

By my count, Team Right is at 5 votes to 4 in favour of cooperating, with all votes in. Looking at the way things are leaning in Team Left, it seems we're looking at an ending of mutual success unless someone makes a heel turn. All it would take is a single person changing their mind though, and at this point I don't even know what I'm hoping for.

Okay, Out Of Character Real Talk put your pitchforks down!: Covski, do you have a Discord, Skype, or email that I can contact you on? I'm going to buy you a Platinum upgrade for the forums to make amends for my super villainy and to say thank you for running one of the funnest LPs I've seen/been apart of in a long while and I just wanted to arrange things before I get sent to LP Jail. Thanks.

I can't believe a game of rock paper scissors on the internet has turned into a tale of underdogs overcoming adversity, surprise betrayal, and a last-minute final twist of the rules. I'm going to remember this LP for years.

Round 13 is over. This game is over. The final result of this game of Rock-Paper-Scissors: BOTH TEAMS AGREE TO SHARE THE VICTORY! With a final score of 4-4, it is a joint victory! It's over. What an amazing ride it has been - as I've mentioned previously, I never expected that an LP of Rock-Paper-Scissors of all things would be even remotely as interesting and engaging as this, and I'm very happy that so many of you seem to have felt the same way. Please welcome the players back to the thread! Returning players: Again, thank you for being such good sports and being so willing to put effort into explaining your reasonings and strategy for our entertainment. Be sure to read through this and your opponents' thread, it's been one hell of a ride. I hope you aren't too disappointed about the game ending like it did, but I couldn't have asked for a more fitting and dramatic ending to this battle of wits. And you are all, in truth, worthy winners! I'll be posting a summary of the game and a bit of fun statistics in a little while, so be prepared for huge posts incoming.

A game well played by all involved. My hat is off to everyone. This was an amazing ride. I didn't set out to play the ultimate villain, but as events developed certain things just fell into place. Plus, it's fun to play the bad guy some times, not gonna lie. I think it's going to take a lot of work to top this LP, I really do. Well done, everyone, both on Team Left, Team Right, and Team Observer. You folks were a truly wonderful audience. You made my little stunt worth it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have one last thing I need to do over in the Team Right thread...

Warning: Super long post incoming! For those of you not inclined to read through both threads (though I'd recommend that you do, to get the most out of this LP), I've summarised the game round-by-round using one post per team which I felt captured the essence of their reasoning for the chosen move. Note that these posts are not necessarily the ones that were most influential or most effort-laden, but chosen merely to represent the general zeitgeist of the turn. Round 1 Left: MercurialOne posted:The other team is likely to open up with rock. That's why I say Paper. Phon posted:I am in favor of Rock: Round 2 Left: oldskool posted:Rock GNU Order posted:I think they will consider throwing paper again to be the riskiest play, so I think we are safe throwing Rock. We all know about winner stays, loser moves so even if we stabilize with a draw I think we'll come out ahead. I predict they will throw rock as well but if they try and overthink themselves they could throw scissors and we could steal a win. Round 3 Left: AJ_Impy posted:I told you to go with paper last time. This round, my gut says they're going to go rock again. Paper. Oblivion4568238 posted:I have to dissent with that. The only move we have played so far is Rock, at this point our opponents have to be considering the possibility that we are crazies who will play Rock forever, no matter the circumstances. They would also consider that we would probably switch to scissors, for reasons outlined before and after the last round. Therefore, I believe they will throw Rock themselves, aiming to either tie us again on our Rock if we're crazies, or beat us on Scissors if we seek to change up our strategy. Thus, our move should be Paper. Round 4 Left: DivineCoffeeBinge posted:So far Team Right's pattern is to change after ties to the thing that would have won their last match. Dr. Fetus posted:Okay, from that round, they clearly expected us to stick with rock yet again. However, now we established that we won't pick rock all the time which makes things uncertain for them. I say that we take advantage of that and double back to rock since they won't be expecting that move. Round 5 Left: chitoryu12 posted:I've decided to change my vote to Rock, and edited my post to reflect such. I have a sneaking suspicion that they're going to choose Scissors for the exact same reason we want to: trying something different. If we pick Rock, we can head them off at the pass! Blind Sally posted:I'm a big enough adult to admit when I'm wrong. You see, I'd begun to feel arrogant with regards to the efficacy of scissors thanks to the numerous missed opportunities we've experienced thus far in the game. To be fair, I think it's perfectly reasonable to see why I feel this way. I mean, I did get to be the "I-told-you-so" guy the last round. That, you see, that's something special. Now this time--well, this time it turns out that I was clearly in the wrong. It seems that scissors was the bad pick that round. You can see it, clear as day. The other team chose rock. This wasn't what I was expecting. Nosiree, I was certainly expecting them to overthink their move, but it turns out that it was I who was overthinking the move. I believed they would pick paper, thinking us to be weirdos who always picked rock. That wasn't the case. No. You see, they clearly chose rock. They made the right choice for the wrong reasons, though. They thought we'd make the move to scissors, offering them the opportunity to finally score a win with rock. I pushed for it. You all know I did. However, they didn't take the bait. My bad. I should've seen it coming. Round 6 Left: Gridlocked posted:Actually this seems pretty good and when you look at the record so far GNU Order posted:gently caress them for defiantly refusing to pick scissors. Scissors is noble and Scissors is powerful Round 7 Left: Torrannor posted:They are not stupid enough to stick with the losing choice again, are they? Oblivion4568238 posted:You fools! I told you! I said right there, they would make a move we would find unthinkable, and for once I didn't vote for a losing option! So, here's my reasoning again. They just won with Rock, and they haven't played Scissors all game. One of us has already panicked and voted for Paper, but what if that's what they want? What would be more poetic than ending the game with their only play of Scissors? They've been withholding it for a reason. Thus, now is the right time for Rock. Round 8 Left: cant cook creole bream posted:Let's just stay at rock. They will flinch and turn back to scissors. I mean what kind of idiot would use rock five times in a row? Crosspeice posted:What kinda madmen would go for Rock four times in a row? They've gotta switch, right? Surely they will. Round 9 chitoryu12 posted:Scissors Right: Oblivion4568238 posted:True enough. Round 10 Left: AJ_Impy posted:Scissors. They think we'll change back to trusty, comfortable, easy rock. Phon posted:I think they might go for scissors again. They've proven that they go for unexpected moves, and re-throwing scissors after it just cost them a point would be pretty unexpected. Round 11 Left: oldskool posted:If they go rock again paper wins us the game. They have to change from rock (which they are clearly hesitant to do) to scissors (which they are somehow even less likely to do) in order for paper to lose, and while that blows our 3-0 lead it doesn't end the game and puts it all on the final throw, which I like our odds in based on our previous logic vs. simply not betting they'd get lazy & throw four rocks in a row. GNU Order posted:Paper seems safest but it also seems really obvious. Now that they lost two in a row I wonder if they'll start trying to play for real again, which to me says they'll follow the chain down to paper. I say we chase them, Scissors. Old, safe me would vote paper but sometimes you gotta go for it Round 12 Left: Carbon dioxide posted:Let's go with paper then. Blind Sally posted:
Round 13 Left: DivineCoffeeBinge posted:Cooperate. Five turns ago I'd've said we were the game's only true winners, but Team Right came back and made a game of it, and they deserve props for that. Blind Sally posted:We should cooperate. If we betray, we are no better than nine-gear crow--and we wouldn't want that. Presumably the other team feels the same way and they will also cooperate. If they betray and we cooperate, then we may lose by a point, but we'll win the greatest victory of all: the moral victory. That, and we'll know what I suspected all along: that Team Left is comprised entirely of nine-gear crows.

Gridlocked posted:People didn't trust in Rock. Rock damned shame. Did not even you, Gridlocked, so-called "High Priest of Rock", turn on Rock when Rock's need was greatest? Did not even you, oh "most faithful" of the Rockites, deny Rock's power? I was consigned to this observer thread, because this is the place Rock chose for me, but I never lost faith in Rock. I always sang Rock's praises and prayed to Rock for deliverance from Scissors and knelt and kissed the smallest of pebbles that lined my way. I never strayed from the Narrow Rocky Path and I walk it still! I consider you an apostate and no better than your Left teammates. If we ever play RPS again, you will bow to me and acknowledge that I am the Rock Prophet. No amount of pennance will ever absolve you. This thread has taught me that Rock Paper Scissors is a game of deep faith and utter betrayal. It is not to be taken lightly.
