Rock-Paper-Scissors Season 5

[Fleeing Coward]

10 on me winning 3:1

[Zar Peter]

End of Day 7

End of holiday break... thank you for keeping with me and sending in your awesome actions! (Yes, I've just been in the Lego Movie, why do you ask?). Well, it was a great skiing holiday and I was bycicling and... wait a moment, I'm sure you're more interested in the results of the game, aren't you? Ok, then I just post that.

Dallas-Dakota vs Cuthalion

DD, our former champion is pretty desperate. Only one win so far and suddenly he's surrounded by Wolves! But he knows the solution to this problem, takes his Axe and chops around. 8 wolvehalves are lying around.

AXE vs Wolf

AXE vs Wolf
4 : 0

Tanar Aerdoth vs Fleeing Coward

Fleeing Coward is on Fire! The last two matches he won and he's desperate to win this one, too, to climb the top of the table. And he shows that he's on Fire. Unfortunately Fire and Dynamite aren't combining good together, FC is blown away by Tanars tactics. And then the Devil is using the fire for his unholy activites. But then Paper and Man don't stand a chance, Tanar Aerdoth and Fleeing Coward are sharing a tie which is of no use for both of them.

Dynamite vs Fire
Devil vs Fire
Paper vs Fire
Man vs Fire
2 : 2

Zjoot vs Reinholdt

Zjoot tries the hominid tactics while Reinholdt throws random things against it. And it seems that random is good. The Sun burns the Woman, the Man is blown away by the Nuke. Only the Monkey can use the Bowl without getting hurt but then... it's known from the beginning that it's not good to bring a Woman to a Snake-fight. Reinholdt wins the game 3:1, his bet and a place in the table.

Woman vs Sun
Man vs Nuke
Monkey vs Bowl
Woman vs Snake
1 : 3

Disc Lorde vs banjo1985

The duell of giants in this season. Both players are on a good course to win the tournament, this is a 6-point game. Disc Lorde tries an Alien tactics but banjos Monkey is just making fun of it. The second Alien wins against the Devil simply by disbelieving but is shorlty after disproved by a Woman. Last action decides if banjo wins or this game is tied, too. And it's banjos masterpiece: Air! He chokes the last Alien with it and wins the top of the table back!

Alien vs Monkey
Alien vs Devil
Alien vs Woman
Alien vs Air
1 : 3

Sabeki vs Nonayer

Sabeki told me his evolutionary tactics: First Monkey became Man, Man flew to Moon and started a Nuke. From my point of view Man first started a Nuke and then flew to the Moon but if Sabeki had taken this order then he would have lost the game. Nonayer started an other evolutionary theory: First the Lightning struck the Monkey. Then Man drank Water and the Wolf howled at the Moon. In the end the Woman was incinerated by the Nuke, the game ended in a tie and Nonayer is still waiting on his first victory.

Monkey vs Lightning
Man vs Water
Moon vs Wolf
Nuke vs Woman
2 : 2

Duck999 vs Aventine

Duck is currently in the lead and is aiming to stay on top. Only obstacle on this way is Aventine and his Dynamite. It's not good to send a Snake against it. So he takes the Sun which is destroyed by the Alien. Duck is frustrated and pours Water over the Nuke. First point for Duck. He hopes for a tie and sends a Devil but it is cleansed by the Sponge, Aventine wins and Duck has to hope that banjo loses his game.

Snake vs Dynamite
Sun vs Alien
Water vs Nuke
Devil vs Sponge
1 : 3

Dicey McRandom vs chessgeek

And the last match for the bets. To answer chessgeeks question here: Yes, please send in your actions against Dicey, it doesn't count for the table but for the bets and the statistics. And it's more fun to take real actions than to roll for both opponents. Anyway, today the dice was very, very weird as you will see beyond. Chessgeek used a wooden tactic and was rewarded at first when his Tree attracted a Lightning. But Dicey then somehow rolled three Nukes and burned down a whole Wood. Dicey wins 3:1

Lightning vs Tree
Nuke vs Tree
Nuke vs Tree
Nuke vs Tree
3 : 1

The table:

Banjo is back on top and Dallas Dakota climbed 2 places up. Duck, Cuthalion and chessgeek lost 2 places.

A pup quiz? Have you been drinking already, o' favourite gnome of mine? Or is it a genuine pup quiz, where all the answers are Beethoven, Marley, Lassie, or Basketofpuppies?

A pup quiz? Have you been drinking already, o' favourite gnome of mine? Or is it a genuine pup quiz, where all the answers are Beethoven, Marley, Lassie, or Basketofpuppies?

It was a pub quiz with questions like:

Movie tag lines:

_ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

(THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION)

AND WE WON!!!! Drinks were for free yesterday. And I don't even have headache so expect an update today. Sorry again for the delay but it was worth it. For me at least

End of DAY 8

As promised now the (a little belated) end of the day! Very interesting pairings today, for example the leader and the runner up are fighting. But to the games:

Aventine vs Fleeing Coward

Fleeing Coward told me that he had the feeling that today is Monkeys great day. Well, it would have been if Aventine had used night (=Moon) more than day (=Sun). So Aventine wins his third consecutive match.

Sun vs Monkey
Sun vs Monkey
Sun vs Monkey
Moon vs Monkey
3 : 1

Nonayer vs Tanar Aerdoth

The main question here is: Will Nonayer win his first match this season? It starts promising, his Dragon is fully motivated and melts Tanars Scissors. But then all the flames are gone and Nonayer doesn't change his tactics. Second Dragon is hiding in the woods, third Dragon gets a wacking from his wife and fourth Dragon has to puke because it sees a Cockroach in the kitchen. Nonayer loses again while Tanar wins the match, his bet and the 2nd place in the betting table.

Dragon vs Scissors
Dragon vs Tree
Dragon vs Woman
Dragon vs Cockroach
1 : 3

Reinholdt vs Sabeki

After two consecutive wins Reinholdt is bursting with self esteem. He holds up some Scissors... whic are melting in the Sun. Irritated he makes a Moon but it looks astonishingly like a Sponge. Well, let's try my oponents tactics then he thinks and takes the Sun... which is cooled by some Air. Frustrated about the lost game he sends his Wolf but it is infested by Cockroaches and can't do anything. Sabeki wins in a landslide.

Scissors vs Sun
Moon vs Sponge
Sun vs Air
Wolf vs Cockroach
0 : 4

chessgeek vs Disc Lorde

Disc Lorde had a strong opening this season but now has lost three games in a row. Yesterday he lost with an Alien, today he stays in space and tries it with the Moon. And this seems to be the better tactics, the Dragon is too far away to do anything against it, the Devil is terrified and the Alien doesn't want to destroy his home. Only the Sponge wins against the Moon, how stays secret.

Dragon vs Moon
Devil vs Moon
Alien vs Moon
Sponge vs Moon
1 : 3

banjo1985 vs Duck999

And this is the duell first against second. banjo never lost a game this season but, well, there's always a first time. The Sun is Nuked away, the Dragon sleeps in the tree and the Monkey is Nuked away, too. Only the Devil wins against Lightning (by 3 points in the overtime). Banjos first loss lifts Duck to the top of the table.

Sun vs Nuke
Dragon vs Tree
Monkey vs Nuke
Devil vs Lightning
1 : 3

Dallas-Dakota vs Zjoot

After Dallas incredible chopping show yesterday he tries to use the same today. That's not soo good. Well, it's not that bad in the beginning when the Axe shines in the Moon but then two Suns are burning the metal away. The last Axe at least chops down an innocent Sponge. It's a tie that helps no one.

Axe vs Moon
Axe vs Sun
Axe vs Sun
Axe vs Sponge
2 : 2

Cuthalion vs Dicey McRandom

Cuthalion went bowling and rolls Dicey away. Gun, Rock and Fire are all smashed away, for the Axe Cuthalion had something special. It is melted by a Dragon. Another landslide win today for Cuthalion.

dragon vs Axe

12	0	Zjoot	8	1	2	4	8	15	5
13	0	Nonayer	7	0	2	5	8	19	2

Duck is the new leader, Fleeing Coward lost 3 places and Aventine has risen 2 places. we have 5 rounds left, 15 points to give away so theoretically even Nonayer could win the season. Although I wouldn't bet on that.

Which brings me to

The Bets:

Duck wins again 9 goofy parachutees, banjo was successfully betting his defeat and wins 15 glossy pygmies, Aventine wins by winning 25 ghastly paranoids, Dallas Dakota somehow knew that he would only make a draw and won 30 grim pokerplayers and Tanar Aerdoth wins also by winning 50 genuine perverts.

9	Dallas Dakota	49	30
10	Nonayer	26	12
11	Sabeki	10	10

Statistics:

Today not used: Dynamite, Man, Paper, Snake and Water.
Most used was the Sun and it won 6 out of 8 fights so it was most effective. Least effective was the Dragon which won only 2 out of 7 fights.

Overall: Still most used is the Rock, least used is the Devil. Most effective is Bowl, 2nd place has the Air. At the bottom of this table we have the wolf who won about 3 out of 10 fights, shortly followed by the Paper which won exactly 1/3 of his matches.
