Rock paper scissors competition - tips?!

Post by coreydotcom »

Soooooooooooo I'm one of the lucky 300 who were selected to participate in the Just for Laughs rock paper scissors (RPS) competition saturday night in Montreal.

I've read over the official RPS society (or whatever they are called) website and got a few tips there.

Did a quick google search and read some things.

I am actually in a library now and there is a book on RPS which I will check out when I leave.

Anything else... what do you think my strategy should be:

a) physical intimidation (shirtless)
b) trash-talking
c) mental intimidation
d) accessorizing (i.e. sunglasses, rasta hat, carl edwards t-shirt, ballet tutu and pink leggings)

any input appreciated.

P.S. First place scores $5k, 2nd $3k, 3rd $2k

So I have a 1/100 chance of winning some serious cash! better than nothing.

I find most people who tie will throw whatever beats what they used in the tie. For example: if you both go with paper, they will most likely go for scissors next. You'd want to anticipate this and go with the rock.

I take winning (too) seriously.

..Yeah, but then I'd think that you were simple, and predictable, and going to go with Rock,so I'd go with paper; you, otoh, would anticipate my simple-mindedness, and think that i think that he thinks that i think that he thinks and throw a scissors out there :rolleyes: I get confused just thinking about it..

Probably best to just be as random as you can without thinking too much..

no sig because apparently quoting people in context is offensive to them.

Always choose rock. Then if someone chooses paper and says they win, you can punch them in the face with your already clenched fist and say "Oh, I thought paper would protect you"

Thanks for all the tips guys/gals. I ended up losing in the first round to a little blonde chick.

It was a best of three of best of threes. Basically you had to win two best of threes.

I won the first one 2-0. Second one was tied 1-1 (so I was one game away from winning) and I threw a rock and she threw paper and she won and even ritualized it (wrapped her paper around my rock... everyone knows you don't ritualize it since one man broke another man's fingers by bashing his rock into the guy's scissors). She won the third set 2-0.

Tough loss... I think she went pretty far because when I left (20 min before the final) she was still in it.
