Yeah clearly Scissors is bad and has betrayed us. Team Right are now totally going to steal our plan of believing in Rock so we need to out think them and throw the sneaky paper.

You guys voting scissors are totally dooming us to getting beaten by our own strategy.

The way I see it, we should just stick with scissors till the end of the game.
Either we will win, due to some weird fluke, or we will scientifically prove that scissors is objectively the worst choice and should never be played by anyone.

I'm losing faith in you guys. They are not going to go drat rock again, what we did will be called a fluke.

Rock is the only thing I have faith in now. Playing the paper that can lose to stupid bad scissors will be an affront to the Lord Rock who has carried us this far. Yall heretics!

Them sticking with rock is the last thing they think we think they're going to do, so them doing that confounds what they think our expectations are. This is why we go for paper here.

If they go rock again then a throw of rock is a tie. Tie becomes our worst-case scenario. Switch to rock, oldskool.

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.

See, I get your logic, but it flies in the face of the fact that we got lazy and threw rock five times in a row, and it worked out pretty okay for us. I have no troubles imagining them going "throwing rock worked for them, why not for us?"

E: basically what I'm saying here is "trusting in rock has worked so far let us trust in rock." I was one of the early adopters of Scissormania, but it failed us. Rock has kept us safe.

If they go scissors and we go paper its not just a win for them; its a win for loving SCISSORS. We CAN'T let that happen.

Now sure they may go rock and we get a tie off this; but I think its worth the risk to show some faith in Rock.

You lack of faith in Rock is disturbing. Show some faith brother.

Me either, which is why I'm wrapping that presumed rock up in a pretty piece of victory paper.

I'm playing to win, not to condemn us to defeat unless they inexplicably throw the clearly inferior scissors before throwing double paper by committing to rock/rock draws.

I'd rather win with rock than try to be tricky and lose with paper or scissors.

Playing Paper is asking to be defeated by the vile and hated Scissors. Rock must be chosen in order to smash all Scissors and brofist all other Rocks. It is the one true faith.

As if it wasn't obvious that we would go with paper. If you had voted for rock like the rest of us, we would have won! :argh:

They will likely think that we flee back into the safety of rock, so they will take paper. Scissors was wrong for the last round, but scissors is right for this round.
