I am in favor of Rock:

a) Such a move would be unexpected due to the general expectation of rock being the first move and thus an expectation on their part that rock will not be played.

b) If they are basing their move on the fact that rock is the most likely first play, paper will be considered but likely thrown out as too obvious, leaving scissors to be crushed by our powerful, unexpected rock.

I agree with the reasoning that's already been posted. Let's go with scissors

Fine. Rock. Whatever.

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.

Except I'm expecting it. Rock.

I'm going with paper. I don't think they'll stick with scissors- they've made the play of sticking with one throw for ages before. If they switch away from scissors then we'll either win or draw, and in the event of a draw we'll gain more insight into what they're playing at.

Plus if they don't switch and we lose, at least we will have gone down swinging.

Oh my god I don't feel qualified to make a suggestion. This is the comeback of the century.

gently caress it, ROCK.

Hm. I think we should betray. There's not really a downside to doing so, apart from seeming like dicks. I don't give a poo poo if we seem like dicks, we've clawed our way back from nothing and going for the victory is the only option.

Awww, now I feel bad for choosing to betray. Well played everyone.
