Bah. RPS is only a game of luck when played between two people who don't know how to play. RPS is all about psychology. Go to a tournament and see if you win "1/3" of the the time. And by the way, though there are three options, because they have no advantage over the same play, it would be 1/2 in a random environment, not 1/3... |

Heh. You hate it because it's pure luck, though... But if it was pure luck, I wouldn't win it 80% of the time against my friends, now would I? I mean, RPS isn't my favorite game or anything, but at least I know strategy when I see it. There's a psychological factor behind each individual move and each gambit, but eh. I suppose that isn't really obvious at first. Your outright bashing of it, though, is just stupid.

And for the record, $50,000 sounds worthwhile to me... (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 06-15-06 04:23 PM) (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 06-15-06 04:25 PM)

powerlevels four and five don't do anything admin doesn't, though. Some Acmlmboards use it to denote seniority, or being the board owner, but not this one.
|
Actually, I think powerlevel five doesn't exist on this board. (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 06-15-06 04:28 PM)

It's really more about... Reading your opponent. Each move has its own psychological profile. For instance, the rock, symbolized by a fist, is more aggressive, and many players will start using it more often if they start losing, whether they realize it or not. Paper is a more calm play, and scissors is somewhat tricky, because it loses to the obvious rock but defeats rock's counter. Now, that's a vast oversimplification, but eh, I can't really hope to explain everything about something as complex as RPS. |

Retreat! You're right about one thing. I mean, Black Hole has Adder and Kindle. Other than that, they're pretty feh, though. Eagle forever! (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 06-15-06 08:15 PM)

Oh, it''s better, but it's still a pretty generic layout. |

I frequently do that, except that the ACS ends after 9:00 for me. |
