Paper has proven itself as the king. Continue to throw paper till we lose or at least till we've done it 3 times in a row.

I told you to go with paper last time. This round, my gut says they're going to go rock again. Paper.

Paper was right. All hail Paper.

Rock

Also, this gives us a paper-rock-paper-rock run, so we can play rock again next round, smash their scissors and go up 3-0

This sounds smart. Scissors need to be the emergency weapon; we haven't gotten there yet.

Rock Rock Rock.

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!

Good enough for me Rock on.

Haha! They flinched first!

Now I think we should give them a open handed Paper slap; because this will cause them to doubt their Scissors choice and go back to their old friend rock.

Ignore this post

Rock. They'll inevitably think that we want to throw Paper to defeat them and will throw Scissors again, but we need to think a move ahead at all times!

Actually this seems pretty good and when you look at the record so far

Team Right
RRPRS-

When they lost the first time they doubled down on Rock again. There's a fair chance they will do it again; or go back to rock. I highly doubt paper is their play because they seem really adverse to switching off of rock (so do we though).

If we pick Paper and they go to rock we win. If we pick Paper and they go to scissors though doubling down like they did last time we won, they will win. At least with Rock we will be either on a tie or win. That seems safer than a loss or win.

I think I will change my vote back to Rock to agree with my favorite MRE eating friendo.

oldskool posted:

Paper
Show them no comfort in the safety of the stone, and challenge them to go back to the scissors that let them down just one round ago.

Seriously they've thrown more rocks than papers or scissors combined.
I honestly expect them to throw either paper or rock this round, so rock gives a loss/draw, scissors a win/loss, and paper the best odds with a draw/win.

I reckon they are super off paper till they get another win. TBH both of our game plans thus far have revolved around Rock so I'd keep betting on them going Rock/Scissors over suddenly swapping back to Paper.

Team Right Score:

R: RRPRSS-

Ok so they did what we thought and doubled down after a loss again.

So if the pattern holds up they will be switching off of scissors and also because you'd have to be pretty dang crazy to stick with it again after we've proven how AWESOME rock is.

So they are either switching to Paper or Rock now. Going scissors seems dangerous as per my last explanation: it's a win/loss choice rather than a win/tie choice.

I will also admit that

Torrannor posted:

It would be kind of amazing if our scissors beat their paper in the very last round of the game.

Is pretty tempting. I will have to think more on this. Anyone got advice?

When they draw, they change. Scissors because they're gunshy about scissors themselves & will throw paper.

I agree the pattern shows that when they lose the double down, when they tie they swap.

I'm just not sure if they will switch to paper to beat "Team Rock" as MercurialOne has suggested, or to scissors to anticipate a paper move.

Scissors have lost a lot for them recently though so maybe they are more inclined to do paper.

Scissors for us it is!

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:

If they switch away from rock, they'll throw either paper or scissors - so a throw of scissors means that in the worst case, we tie again.

Basically this is my way of thinking yeah.

1) Identify the pattern they are doing (which so far is double down on losses, swap on ties)

2) Identify the move that results in either a Tie or Win rather than a Win or Loss.

They must've learned sticking to your plan works, so paper.

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.

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!

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.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:

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

Smart!

I'm tempted to change but I can't honestly say I believe in "They won't go rock again" when they've already gone rock four times in a row.

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

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.

gently caress your ground, your ground is what made us lose the last round when faith in Rock would have won.

Now I'm split between faith in Rock of dealing with the fact they are totally going to play Paper because they assume we have too much faith in Rock.

The point is I warned you about the Rock dawg.

gently caress it paper band wagon and hope this throws them off enough we can rock out next turn (cause no way do they pick scissors a-loving-gain and that means paper has the best Tie-Win set over rocks Tie-Lose set; but gently caress you guys for making me have to not say rock)

Ignore this post I had a moment of heresy

I'm 99% sure we are gonna lose this poo poo honestly. Any hope for a future is gone. The people didn't listen when Rock spoke unto them.

Frankly we deserve to lose in a position where we should have played rock. If only to teach future generations of PRS players that Rock is the true path.

this is a vote for the one true god that is rock

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.

A few more words are in order.

Comrades,

You know the situation. You might think of this as just a game. But deep inside you know this is not true. This is a war. But even in a war there are rules. We are honor-bound to follow them.

And it should be obvious that WE CANNOT ALLOW an enemy to walk into our camp. I am certain that post has several levels of psychological tricks in it. Well, WE'RE NOT GOING TO FALL FOR THAT.

What we need to do now is send them a message. One they cannot ignore. Luckily, we got crow right here in our camp.

And this is why I'm officially changing my vote to send them nine-gear crow's blood. And I expect you all to follow my example. For glory!

The revolution is at hand.

The only winning move now is to refuse to play.
