Can Rock, Paper, Scissors Be Reinvented with New Rules?
Click For Summary
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
- 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
This discussion is beneficial for game designers, educators in logic and reasoning, and enthusiasts of creative problem-solving who enjoy exploring unconventional game mechanics.

You may not believe this but there is an actual Rock, Paper, Scissors league. They sent representatives to all the college bars in my town to get people to compete. The best 'players' of the evening had their names taken for a chance to win a free trip to Las Vegas to compete on ESPN. I kid you not.

I'll bet we could take them. Do they have immortal's, dragons, black holes, supernovas and tidal waves on their side? And that's only our most recent uses.
Really, who would watch rock, paper, scissors on ESPN?

Sorry, but that's rule breaking. Once something is beaten it is gone: you can't go back and change a previous event. If you have contention with the fact that a hippie could beat a nuke, then consider if they managed to lobby the congress to remove all nukes.zanazzi78 said:
