I propose that we decide on a strategy and keep following it till the end. Statistically, that gets us the best chance. (besides random picks) My suggestion is a cumulative series of triadic numbers corresponding to the choices in canonical order with an intial value of 1 and 2. The series would be. 1,2,3,6,12,24,48. Calculating the necessary modular and applying the implicit homomorphism yields the strategy PSRRRRR It's science! Edit: In case we are only allowed to vote on this turn, I guess that means I am for Paper. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Feb 13, 2017 |

Elfface posted:We should shake this paradigm up - go for a Pickaxe - smashes rocks, pierces papers, probably neutral against scissors. Back when I was on the school yard, I would sometimes play this game with well. Rock and Scissors fall in, paper lays on top and closes it up. In other words, that is a really stupid rule, since that thing is just strictly better than rock. Effectively no one would play rock, making well the new rock. Those sentences sound so weird.

Yay. Scissors! They saw how great our paper was and now they are going to imitate it. This is surprisingly intense and fun. I can't wait till it's over and I get to peek into the other threads. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Feb 14, 2017 |

There hasn't been any scissors so far. They will fill that void. Rock!

We thoroughly smashed those heretic scissors. This will teach them that scissors can't win. Now we will wrap their rock into the paper of shame. This thread was a good idea Covski. But I wonder if I would have as much fun if we were losing. I can't wait to see the enemies battle record. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Feb 20, 2017 |

Yay. Good job on the tie breaker. Throw another rock, just to mess with them. Scissors must never win. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Feb 21, 2017 |

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:Also, just saying, if we go scissors and they finally manage to pull out a win it will only solidify the "scissors is a loser move" thought in their heads. So they'll consider the game down to only rock and paper, throw paper, and then we can throw scissors for the win.

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?

Frionnel posted:See, Rock defended us again just like i said it would. But i see we haven't gone with scissors at all? It's time por scissors gets a time to shine. That's because Scissors are the devils tools and would have killed us here. They will be lured by those things. Rock. Actually, never mind that. The sissors seem really tempting. Assuming round 4 was an outlier, they always repeat everything once. Paper would be next for them. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Feb 23, 2017 |

I have no clue what to do, but I don't want to abstain. So I am voting for whatever the next poster says. Congrats person, your vote is worth twice as much.

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. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Feb 27, 2017 |

Yeah. Scissors is objectively the worst and will never win anything. Try to prove me wrong team right! Paper Hopefully they are stealing our brilliant tactic of throwing rock 5 times in a row.

What the gently caress Nine-Gear Crow? Why would you even do that? We had a lot of fun here and nobody decided to cheat so far. To you really need to win so much, that you come here and appeal to our sense of honesty or pride? Honestly it might work. Congratulations on that victory Crow, because I sure as hell wont switch from paper now. Unless I can throw nine-gear-crow's blood Covski posted:[*]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. I don't even know if I am legitimately annoyed about this. The game is on the match point and almost over.

Thanks for this administrative decision. But the points of that prisoners dilemma seem kinda off. Betray- Cooperate should end the game with 5-3, just to give an extra incentive. Right now it's basically just cooperate ~ "give the other team a point", betray ~"don't". So we only get to decide whether the other team wins, with no influence over our own fate. That being said, unlike a certain someone we are decent people who can cooperate. And, assuming that that person doesn't get to vote, I assume our partners in this noble game will decide the same.
