No game intended for people who might not understand how to play rock paper scissors should have a tournament.
>>97263623Teach Jim RPS.
>>97263623Call for Jim's legal guardian to pick him up, he's obviously having an episode.
>>97263623Jim gets a warning for rulesharking/stalling. You know how shit works, just fucking play.
>>97263623How is RPS worse than a coin flip? If even one participant chooses their picks randomly, it's a 50/50 game too. Are tournamentfags retarded? Risking getting a penalty for stupid shit?
>>97265472People don't pick rock paper or scissor at random.
>>97265712People can't telepathically read thoughts either, so how the fuck is strategizing for a singlr RPS round in the middle of a card game possible? Unless you know that you are a moron that always picks rock, what's the point of strategizing, just pick 6 random digits and calculate the digital root base 3. That's pretty fairly random even for very biased number pick from humans, if that's what you fear.In no case does it make sense to risk a penalty for this shit.
>>97265472Are you a woman? Men do not randomly play rock paper scissors, men will always start out with rock. Always. In games against other men this is a harmless way of comparing manliness. At least three iterations of rock are required before any player is allowed to switch to paper, which will win him the game but the opponent shows himself to be more honourable. If both switch to paper at the same time, this is a bonding moment. Switching to scissors is a tricksy move and allows both winning the game and obtaining honour, but equally allows loss of both if the opponent kept playing rock.It is very easy to understand that this manliness ritual has no place in a children's card game tournament. This is why one might be tempted to ask for a coin flip, obviously relinquishing some aura to do so.
>>97265833>Unless you know that you are a moron that always picks rockPretty much it, some people are pretty predictable when it comes to RPS. The ones who are aware of predictability however tend towards scissors.
