The Infinite Perfect Rock Paper Scissors Game
With the advent of RPS-101, a Rock-Paper-Scissors-like game with more than a hundred (a hundred and one, actually) gestures, humanity has been left asking if that is the limit. Well, I am happy to tell you, it isn't. I present to you, RPS-∞, the game with infinite gestures!
A round of RPS-∞ works like this:
A round of RPS-∞ works like this:
- The players both count aloud to three, each time raising one hand in a fist and swinging it down on their other palm on the count.
- On the third count, each player makes whatever gesture they want, and names it ('Heat Death of the Universe', 'Strawberry Icecream', 'Wu-Tang Clan').
- If both make the same gesture, it's a draw. Otherwise, they discuss what would be the most concise outcome to a match between both items (usually expressed in terms of X verbs Y)
- If the last step ended in confusion or fisticuffs, it's a draw. Go for another round.

Surely everyone played this as a child? Excellent arguments. I still maintain that bomb beats everything else. Except wet fish, which extinguishes the fuse...

The problem is, before long anyone on the Internet will think of "Chuck Norris", which beats anything other than Chuck Norris with "Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicks Y."

bomb is denoted by a fist with the thumb sticking up slightly for the fuse.

Well, some clearly do beat others.
Or as our 2nd lt during boot did:
Recruit: Okay! I call shotgun on the ride down!
2nd Lt: Rock Paper Scissors.
Recruit: Okay, Rock Paper
2nd Lt: Star! I win *points to star that showed his rank*
(PS to other military types, this was using Norwegian insignia which differs from US by being better in every shape imaginable... :p)
