Re: "Gamey" tactics like "Rock, none" races
Wow, I had no idea that there's a World Society for Rock Paper Scissors, with World Championship tournaments!
Looking at the web site, it says that RPS is played all over the world and has many different names: Jenken, Jan Ken Pon, Roshambo, Shnik Shnak Shnuk, Ching Chong Chow, Farggling, Scissors Paper Stone, Scissors Rock Paper. ... interesting!

Re: "Gamey" tactics like "Rock, none" races
Geo, did you look at the "RPS links" on that site? There are serious academic studies in subjects like game theory and Artificial Intelligence programming. I remember when the programming competition was mentioned on Slashdot. It's deinitely not a joke site.

Re: "Gamey" tactics like "Rock, none" races
I think I spy one too many Discordian and Subgenius references on that site...
And read the forums - funny stuff. Even funnier avatars. And there is a guy named "Chad Leatherstep" who belongs to the "WRPSS Disiplinary Committee".
We need someone like that here!

I said if it's a joke it's a well done one. But links to legitimate sites doesn't guarantee the organization is valid, or that the site isn't tounge in cheek.
