SUMMARY

The forum discussion revolves around a reimagined version of the classic game Rock, Paper, Scissors, where participants propose objects that "beat" the previous object in a creative and logical manner. Specific rules are established to maintain the integrity of the game, including prohibitions against time travel, the use of fictional objects, and repeating previously used items. The conversation showcases a variety of imaginative responses, such as "Thermite burns computer" and "Gamma ray bursts kill all life on Earth," while also addressing the complexities and paradoxes that arise from the game's rules.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of logical reasoning and sequential argumentation
  • Familiarity with basic chemistry concepts (e.g., thermite reactions, acid-base neutralization)
  • Knowledge of game theory principles and strategy
  • Ability to follow and contribute to structured discussions in online forums
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of game theory and its applications in competitive scenarios
  • Explore chemical reactions relevant to the objects mentioned, such as thermite and acid-base reactions
  • Investigate the history and variations of Rock, Paper, Scissors and similar games
  • Learn about the impact of rules on gameplay dynamics and player strategy
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for game designers, educators in logic and reasoning, and enthusiasts of creative problem-solving who enjoy exploring unconventional game mechanics.

Hammer! Hammer! Hammer kills mouse!

Come on! That one was legit!

OK! OK, mouse inadvertantly reconnects circuit and allows shredder to work long enough to destroy the Kyoto protocol.

I liked hammer better.

That isn't rock, paper scissors that is just a story

I disagree; think of it as electric current kills mouse. I believe the game proceeds from "electric current.'

DaveC? Care to judge?

lets just make it move on ;P

Iron rod beats coyote to into formless, viscous pulp.

40T magnet renders iron rod useless.

Edit: Too slow.

Foundry furnace heats magnet to a red glow, causing it to lose its power.

Murphy's Law beats Laurence Tero, Mr T and the other Mr T.

[Interesting trivia: Murphy's Law was not propounded by Murphy but by someone else with the same name.]

No Hammer! Unless it's MC... Try again. And yes, the 'e' is optional.
