ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS Season 3

[Zar Peter]

Hello and welcome to the third iteration of ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS.

This game is based on this table:

Basic rules:

Well, you’re competing against another player by sending a couple of fingeractions from the table above to me. Your counterpart will do the same and I (the narrator) determine who will win. Pretty simple I hope.

Advanced Rules:

Now comes the tricky part. There will be a Group Phase and a Knock-Out Phase. How many people there will be in a group depends on the number of sign-ups so that’s to be determined after the sign up. I also don’t know exactly how many actions you will have to choose, current plan is to do 5 actions for each group match and then a growing number for the knock out round (best of 11, best of 15 and best of 21 for the finals). Also the knock out rounds will be split (5 actions today and the other 6 actions next day for example). This way I will have more tension and time for…

Betting:

As always you may bet. This time you won’t get any money for betting, you just bet on win and lose (and draw in the group phase). Additional you can bet on the group winners. Details will be revealed when the sign up ended (as always, inputs are appreciated to improve the betting system)


Don't hesitate to PM me if you have questions about the rules!

[billtodamax]

*signs up*

This certainly doesn't seem stupidly complex!

[Heroic]

Count me in

[Viera Champion]

Im in, but totally confused.

[Tydude]

Yeah I'll join but waiting for further clarification on the rules. Maybe somebody could link to the past threads if they're still here?

[Fleeing Coward]

Count me in again on this

[Internet Flea]

In, even though I've never heard of a dragon that was immune to scissors.

[Viera Champion]

I was taking a look at the differences beteween man and woman.

Apparently men slay dragons whereas women are only capable of subduing them.

Also, while the woman is tempted by the devil, men can exorcise it.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

I think that goes for the whole Garden of Eden thing.

Anyway, I'll sign up. Why not?

Might be fun, might be crazy complicated!

[Aemoh]

I recall seeing this about, but I never did play.

So... IN

[Dallas-Dakota]

In, as always.

Also, you don't get money from betting anymore? Awww!

[Zar Peter]

In, as always.

Also, you don't get money from betting anymore? Awww!

You get money but you don't have money for it... example:

Fleeing Coward plays against Internet Flea.

Dallas Dakota bet's that Fleeing Coward wins.

Fleeing Coward wins.

Dallas Dakota wins 2 glod coins.

All glod coins are summarized in the end of the game. Best better is the one with the most glod coins.

How much you will win with each bet will be determined after the sign up when I know exactly how much groups, how much players and so on.

You will have at least 48 hours to place your bets.

Yeah I'll join but waiting for further clarification on the rules. Maybe somebody could link to the past threads if they're still here?

[Tydude]

Oh OK that makes sense. Thanks for the link.

[InaVegt]

In like a finn

[Dallas-Dakota]

Ah, so you win it, it's just that you don't get to use your wins next round, but instead start off again with a base amount?

Thenks.

[calar]

Meh, sure. Ill join.

[Zar Peter]

Ah, so you win it, it's just that you don't get to use your wins next round, but instead start off again with a base amount?

Thenks.

No base amount, just bet and if you win you get something.

[Dallas-Dakota]

I bet a gazillion shiny gold coins that this will be a extremely fun game!

[Reinholdt]

I remember this game. I was horrible at it. I ended up with a hand that makes me a target of Inigo Montoyo.
In.

[Deathslayer7]

in if still possible.

[Zar Peter]

in if still possible.

Sign up ends next week. The more the merrier.

[lord pringle]

In for great victory.

[TFT]

Most decidedly in.

[Zar Peter]

Last chance for sign up!

[Elder Tsofu]
