The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

As suggested here, David C. Lovelace's completely awesome, totally brilliant concept of RPS-25 has been incorporated into a duel called RPS.

RPS is based on the ever-popular game Rock Paper Scissors. As you gain more experience points on the site, you'll gain access to more gestures to use against your oponents. There are twenty-five different gestures, providing over 300 different combintations.

As you gain more experience (EXP) points, you will unlock new gestures. Every 50 points you earn will unlock two additional symbols. But note that everyone now starts at "zero" -- you have to gain these points on top of your current to unlock the symbols.

Please support David by checking out his RPS-25 store: http://www.cafepress.com/animalbabies/862340. I think I may just have to pick up a poster myself ...

too bad were at 0 lol. I'd have them all.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

So, we need 1100 more points than we currently do to get them all.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

What are these gestures?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Oh, nevermind. I tried it out. It's cool! But how do these gestures affect each other? Like, I know the Rock, Paper, and Scissors triangle, but what are the other triangles?

seriously? sweet man. thanks. gave me air and fire. in my first draft of that article i had more "topics" but couldnt remember them after having to redo it. once i figure more out i will edit it.

Use fire, it has 2-1 odds of winning against the first 3.  Air loses to all but fire for those 5.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

It was grreat, I loved it.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Those gestures are AWESOME! But some of the terms confuse me. What is 'target' tell? And if it says something like "Nuke starts fire", does fire beat it?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Basically whatever is in it's list, it wins.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Gotcha. Thanks.
I play a few rounds of RPS with cysid and I won almost all of the times! Yea! It's a cool game, but how do you get more gestures?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
You have to get 50 points more than what you have to get 2 new ones

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Oh, by the way Alex, can I have my point back?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
This is probably the best duel ever!  I like the variety of hand gestures.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
i know it kicks ass.  I BEAT NATE OMG

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

When you get 2 new gestures, are they given at random?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

i dont think so. me and 3j, i think, have the same 2 new choices. not very random lol.

nate

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

This rocks so much. I've got five options at the moment.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
I finally got my five!

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

You have sponge yet?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

Nope. It's supposed to be good.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
No its horrible actually.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
I got told it was good. Oh well. I'll look forward to dragon.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
yeah  i know.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Woah.. you knew I was looking forward to dragon? Dragon and moonlight, thats what I want. D'you have them yet?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
nooo too lazy.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Oh darn. That means I'll have to get past nine options before being able to get the ones I want. I can't believe woman tempts man but man doesn't tempt woman. That's so sexist.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
THATS PRETTY RANDOM BUDDY.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
What, that the game is kind of sexist in a sense?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Well no its realistic.  Woman are better thinkers in general and we men are more influenced by needs.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Yes, in general. But who has achieved more in the past thirty years (since that womans right thing)?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Men but you gotta give em time.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
I have nine!

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Which ones? The only ones I unlocked were air and fire. Yow! Do you have man or gun yet? I'm jealous!

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Also, which is the hardest to get?

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Not sure what I have, actually. Maybe they go out from the center in an ever increasing circle. I turned my dueling off because I lost like 100 EXP points to it in two days.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
BAHAHHAHAHAHHA

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

I just lost 13 in a row to hiddendragon.. but then I won them back by rating stuff, so I s'pose it's okay.

I was going to say something about points involving the word daily but I won't say anymore. If you know what it is, don't tell, but acknowledge it. I want to know who's found out about it.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Daily Points in the My Stuff --> Points section.  It's a link on the top.

It was requested I think, and it is known.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Oh.. I thought it was meant to be a big secret or something.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

nate

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Haha! Wait, it hasn't gone off topic.

In RPS, one of the options is 'man'. Man's best friend is dog, and dogs like eating. So it still is on topic, if you think about it.

I read Nate's article about RPS, and the different ways of doing it. I thought what he wrote was bull, as it is pure luck, but I don't disrespect Nate, because it has probably already worked for him. I went rock as a noob and still do now, because everybody I know always does scissors first.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

you can disagree with the article. no skin off my back. however, know that it has worked for others. even before i finished writing the article, someone who proofread it said that it had alraedy helped them.

as for your rock, that was in the article. most, meaning on average, beginners pick rock. its just a numbers thing. as for luck. yes, i never said there was no luck. there is an element of luck in the game. however, i wrote the article to express how to lower the luck factor and raise the skill factor.

nate

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

Im 100% behind nate on this one.

Name something without an element of luck, i dare you.  However almost anything (besides rolling dice, etc.) has a n element of skill as well.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Not true. The only thing w/o skill would be online luck things.  For example, math.random()

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

sleeping, dying, aging, seezing... all these require no skill lol

nate

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
I have 11 and only 200 points!

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

Incorrect.

Sleeping does require skill.  Look at insomniacs, without the skill of sleepign you cant sleep.

Dying, well teh opposite is true.  Nto dyign takes skill.

Aging, not agining takes skill.

Sneezing, hmm.  IT TAKES SKILL TO HOLD IT OFF, LET ME TELL YOU.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

insomniacs do not have a lack of skill. they cant sleep due to multiple factors, physical, mental, biological  and such. all of which have nothing to do iwth skill. its a disorder.

nate

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
yes but i firmly believe that the mind can overcome any disease. finding the power to use your mind is a skill.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

well ok, but therefore, the next time you get a cold or a flu, tell the doc you dont want any medicine cause you will overcome it with your spidey senses lol

nate

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
ahhaha well your body uses skill to right itself even with the aid of medicine.  but no im pointing at little details, essentially you are right.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago

when your body "rights itself", is that skill or nature? whether by design or evolution, our bodies were created to survive. thats survival of the fittest there, not really skill... oh well, thats theory and opinion again. lol

nate

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

There is nothing without an element of luck, to answer JJJ's question. I just said that it was luck.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Dammit! All the other people had gotten more of the RPS Duel and I only have the basics, which means I am SOO at a disadvantage.. I haven't played RPS with anyone for a while.. Don't really seem to like it.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Haha.. rock always wins.

Against fire.

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
I don't really duel.  I will usually accept all challenges (I haven't actually said no to one yet)

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
I just got DRAGON and TREE    Haha, I chose weak choices and bet 5 points 4 times in a row and won all of them! Then I dueled cysid and lost most of them. LOL *_* yet

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
What? How did you get them so quick? I'm only up to sponge and water!

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
Please, please! Can someone please tell me when you get Monkey? Please I need to know!

The RPS Duel Has Arrived

18 years ago
I'm not sure yet. You'd have to ask Alex, seeing he put it on here.
