The final teams: Team Left Carbon dioxide Sjs00 oldskool Ahundredbux DivineCoffeeBinge MercurialOne chitoryu12 Gridlocked cant cook creole bream AJ_Impy Torrannor Team Right Oblivion4568238 AlphaKretin CirclMastr Dr. Fetus GNU Order Crosspeice Phon Aishlinn BrightWing Blind Sally nine-gear crow  Team threads are up! Round 1 begins now! Team Left Team Right Your mission is simple: Be the first team to score 4 points by chosing the move that defeats the other team's move. I'm sure you know the drill. Use any way you prefer to reach a consensus about which move your team will pick. Turn lengths are going to be played a bit by ear depending on how quickly both teams are able to decide, but I'll probably keep them at at least 24 hours to allow as many people as possible to give input regardless of time zones etc. There are only a few rules: No peeking in the other team's thread, or the observer thread! I know how much some of you like winning, but cheating at rock-paper-scissors would be a new low. No usage of any form of random number generators (this includes dice) when deciding on a move. As far as possible, try to explain your reasoning behind your suggested moves - exploring the thought processes that goes in to this is part of the fun. Best of luck to both teams! Please go to your threads, and do not continue reading below this post!

Team Left banking hard on conventional strategies. Needs some lateral thinking from Right's part now.

I'll freely admit I'm still holding out hope for rock actually winning a point first round, but seeing rock lose would be satisfying too. A rock tie would be great as well. dammit i really just want to see rock

poo poo, I missed sign ups! Which is a shame because I possess exactly the right amount of leadership and intellectual rigor necessary to lead a Rock-Paper-Scissors team.

Round 1 is finished! The result:   PAPER COVERS ROCK! TEAM LEFT WINS! Current score: 1-0 in favour of Team Left, three points left to win. Previous moves: L: P- R: R- Summary: Team Left quickly went for the obvious counter to the classic rock opening. Team Right thought longer and harder, and though good arguments were made for not choosing rock, they nonetheless chose rock and paid the price. I've personally found it interesting that rock is viewed as the more aggressive move, and paper as the passive or defensive one. Scissors seem to be regarded more as a specialised tool than the other two. I know I'll never think about RPS the same way again.

The glove makes Team Right seem villainous somehow, so I am happy with this outcome.

I never thought one could be this intrigued by a game as simple as Rock-Paper-Scissors. Colour me intrigued! 1-0 to team Gloveless! Let's see if they can keep the lead!

Not because it's what I want to happen, but because it's the right thing to do. EDIT: Also, I hope the hand's final form is a robot hand, tentacle fingers, or some combination of those two.

I can't believe I check the forums just to see who's winning in rock-paper-scissors. This works somehow. Must be the very defined length and good pace.

Nice to see we're playing the base game, it's a classic. The Lizards and Spock expansion was a good attempt by the devs to expand the game, but ultimately it added too many unnecessary mechanics and failed to catch on. Just goes to show that there's strength in simplicity.

Round 2 is finished! The result:  ROCK BASHES INEFFECTUALLY AGAINST ROCK! IT IS A TIE! Current score: 1-0 in favour of Team Left, three points left to win. Previous moves: L: PR- R: RR- Summary: The game is really starting to get interesting now. Both teams saw a variety of suggestions, all very well argued for. Team left was tantalisingly close to getting a two point lead early on with a second paper. I'm sure excited to see how the teams will react after the tie!

Rights been doing a rockheaded approach so far, I wonder if it's a juke or if they will roll with it to the end.

So we had posts about what moves people tend to make after winning or losing a round, but what about after a draw? Usually I switch to whatever would have lost the draw round, like going from scissors to paper, anticipating my opponent to switch as well.

Usually I switch to whatever would have lost the draw round, like going from scissors to paper, anticipating my opponent to switch as well. None of the sources I checked mentioned any standard responses in case of a tie. Intuitively I don't really know if there is a difference, psychologically, between responding to a tie and playing the first hand in a sequence. If anything, I'd suppose that you'd be slightly more likely to repeat your last move after a tie, as you'd interpret the main choices as being stay/switch. This is all speculation on my part, but if my reasoning is true switching to the move that defeats the previous one should be slightly superior. If anyone else has a better theory, I'd be interested to hear it!

I think Right is playing a dangerous game, trying to use psychological warfare like this.

Round 3 is finished! The result:  PAPER SMOTHERS PAPER! IT IS A TIE! Current score: 1-0 in favour of Team Left, three points left to win. Previous moves: L: PRP- R: RRP- Summary: Another interesting round. A fair part of Team Right argues "They totally won't expect us to be crazy enough to pick rock again", while a majority of Team Left says "They will totally pick rock again". Paper continues to be the safe move of the game, with only seven votes for scissors across both teams, three of them by Blind Sally. Will we ever see a team actually scoring a point again?

This is the greatest contest of wits I have ever seen and I am on the edge of my seat. I think that the gloved hand has given team right a sort of villainous arrogance which I am sure will lead to their downfall.
