Gameroom Rock/Scissors/Paper tournament [Concluded]

[GeneralHankerchief]

Pretty simple really. I create the one-on-one matchup, each participant sends me a PM saying which one they pick. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock. If both people send me the same choice, they PM me again. If they send me the same choice again, then the game is a tie. However, in the knockout round, games will go on for as long as necessary.

Tournament structure will be a single round robin which will determine seeding. The knockout round will be your standard seeded ladder structure. In the round robin, players get 1 point for a win, 0 points for a loss, and 0.5 points for a tie.

If this goes well, I may expand things for future tournaments. For now, we'll have 8 contestants. Happy WIFOMing!

[Andres]

In.

I can already tell you that I will always pick scissors. So, if you're up against me, always pick rock; I promise I'll never pick paper

[Sigurd]

When will this be run?

Oh.. in BTW

[GeneralHankerchief]

Once I get 8 players, Sigurd.

[Beefy187]

I will announce that I will always announce that I will use Rock, but I'm only teasing you and I in fact will use Paper.

Sign me up

[pevergreen]

in.

However, I propose, due to the limited number of outcomes, that we instead play Rock paper scissors lizard spock.

[Warmaster Horus]

Sure, in.

[Death is yonder]

In

I will be a gentleman and only use scissors, which is undefeatable

Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, scissors beats rock.

Hence, when choosing scissors, it is only possible for a draw at worse!

Oo

Thats why you are a good analyzer. You read carefully

[Death is yonder]

You are too kind, but it is not analyzing that will save the day! It is WIFOM, in a game of scissors paper stone

[CountArach]

In! Oh go girls!

[atheotes]

ok

[GeneralHankerchief]

Waiting on pever and DiY.

[Sigurd]

pever chooses paper and DiY chooses rock.

Let's move on.

[Andres]

pever chooses paper and DiY chooses rock.

Let's move on.

Aha, my adversary is getting nervous.

Afraid that you picked the wrong choice? Maybe you should quickly change it to rock. Or no, paper. Wait, scissors! Yes, that must be it! Oh no, no, no... ehm, eh, hmmm...

Mwahahahaha

[Ituralde]

This looks interesting!

*grabs popcorn and waits for the results*

[pevergreen]

Wha?

beefy sent his choice to Sigurd, CC'ing me. I had sent my choice in about 11 hours beforehand.

So was it beefy, or DIY that chose.

ITHOUGHT I WAS AGAINST BEEFY> IM CONFUSED.

[Beefy187]

Wha?

beefy sent his choice to Sigurd, CC'ing me. I had sent my choice in about 11 hours beforehand.

ITHOUGHT I WAS AGAINST BEEFY> IM CONFUSED.

I didn't send my choice to Sigurd, but I sent it to GH as his the host.
We had a tie so we are sending the orders again and I CCed you as that was my plan for the whole time... Or was it the accident? Or was it both?
Yes I am against you pever, You already fell in my WIFOM trap of doom.

[pevergreen]

OOps, Meant GH. Dunno why I thought Sigurd.

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS.

[Sigurd]

Aha, my adversary is getting nervous.

Afraid that you picked the wrong choice? Maybe you should quickly change it to rock. Or no, paper. Wait, scissors! Yes, that must be it! Oh no, no, no... ehm, eh, hmmm...

Mwahahahaha

Nervous???
You must be mistaking my eager anticipation for nervousness. I know my superior intellect will crush you. Ergo, Concordantly, vis a vis - It is inconceivable that I will lose.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Morning gents,

Apparently the latest Windows update did not agree with my computer (surprise surprise) so I'm currently working on getting everything back to normal. Will update the results when I can (later today at latest).

[Death is yonder]

pever chooses paper and DiY chooses rock.

Let's move on.

Wait long long ... hmm... I choose... scissors!

[GeneralHankerchief]

Day 1 results

And the crowd is gathered in the stadium. The vendors are active, selling programs, popcorn, and carbonated drinks of choice. There is a lively buzz which gradually heightens as the match draws closer to commencement. However, this quickly falls off once the referee signals for quiet. Upon getting confirmation from all contestants, he raises his hand in the air.

"Rock... paper... scissors... shoot!"

Andres, true to his promise, throws Scissors. Sigurd, testing to see whether Andres would hold to his promise, throws Rock and smirks upon seeing Andres's paper. "Easiest win I ever had," he says. "Pah," Andres replies, "I'm just setting myself up for later rounds."
Sigurd defeats Andres

pevergreen and Beefy187 both throw Paper, grinning as they see they have matched each other. On the second throw, however, things become different. Beefy, deciding to be aggressive in this early match, throws Rock. pever, however, remains conservative and capitalizes off of Beefy's risky change, throwing Paper again and winning the day.
pevergreen defeats Beefy187

Warmaster Horus and Death is Yonder eye each other before throwing down. These two not knowing each other very well, they expect nothing. This is the real wild-card match of the first round. Horus throws Paper and looks up at his opponent, who is grinning. Death is Yonder has thrown Scissors.
Death is Yonder defeats Warmaster Horus

CountArach and atheotes both go with Rock on their first throw, sticking with an old reliable choice. The crowd gasps in pleasure at seeing this second draw of the day. As everyone knows, the psychological warfare in Rocks/Scissors/Paper ratchets up upon a second throw. After a minute of such staring, the two throw down... both staying conservative and sticking with Rock.
