Hey WC fans! After you have played my game (I was told it was extremely linear and there were grammar mistakes,) wouldn't you like to edit my awesome (terrible) RPS games in the making? Please state what made you want to do this or what inspired you to do it! You are owing the author a great service. Thanks!

I don't want to be an editor because I feel the mistakes you made in the first game are easily correctable with the right experience of writing/reading knowledge. In simpler terms I'm sure you can proofread your work yourself.

Thanks for reading this post anyway ?? but anyway thanks for that proof reading comment. I'll see if I can do it or at least if I can't I will still be watching this post anyways so yeh

Sure, I could help, but I gotta warn you I know nothing about WC, so all the editing I would do would be strictly cosmetic (grammer, spelling, punctuation, stuff that doesn't make any sense).

I'm usually on in the afternoons.

EDIT: Some of the things I noticed right away, is there aren't new paragraphs at new speakers. And, the link to ratings at the beginning is redundant.

Thanks for volunteering! You'll make a great editor someday

No problem, you need help with editing, I'll help anytime.

I thought this would be about a rock-paper-scissors game based on pryomania. I was sorely dissappointed.

Paper wins... every time.

Paper is flammable. The handles on scissors melt very easily. Rock is the best option.

A paper gets perforated by a thrown rock.  Under pressure, paper ceases to be paper and becomes a fossil fuel.  Rock is more durable than paper when put out in the open air.

When put in space, paper is thinner, and thus is more likely to break when it freezes.

Paper does not melt; it burns.

A scissor will not survive a thousand foot fall.

A rock will not survive a thousand foot fall.

A paper can possibly survive a thousand foot fall, provided no birds, planes, or any other mid-air object snags it before it can land on something.  And rain.

Rocks have been painted on before paper.

Scissors are used in origami to cut paper into shapes it'd never even dream of had it not been for Mr. Scissors.

Papers are folded to look like rocks, because they're so jealous of rocks' asymmetrical structure.

Rocks have their own music genre.

Paper gives you paper cuts.

Scissors have their own choke-hold named after it.  And that doesn't even cut you.

Paper flies with birds.

Rocks kill birds to sustain life.

They use metal in airplane motors, the same substance as scissors.  Flocks of bird were killed by airplanes in the past years, numbering from the dozens to the hundreds to possibly the thousands.

Your point?

Paper is accountable for holding all history before the first computers.

There are many different types of rocks, I prefer to think of the RPS one as a sandstone.

Scissors also come in "safety" versions as well.

What about the history recorded on stone, ceramic, etc.?

I suppose the first law codes were documented on these types of materials, but it was impractical.

Imagine writing The Lord of the Rings on stone tablets.

I am, and all I can see is sheer badassness.

You'd have to uproot the whole of Mt. Fuji to make that a feasible solution.

And nothing is scarier than a group of middle-aged Japanese men with climbing sticks seared with brandings chasing after you.

You wouldn't necessarily have to do that.

No... you wouldn't.  However, there's nothing funnier than a group of middle-aged Japanese men with climbing sticks seared with brandings chasing after you

I can think of a lot of things funnier than that.

Then you've never truly been to Japan.

I can think of several things scarier than the idea of something, but to actually experience and imagine are two different things.

Well, you are right in assuming I've never been to Japan. Still, I've heard, seen, and experienced some really fucked up things.

I have no doubts.

I'm guessing you read the story you can link to off of EndMaster's page?

Exploitation theater? Yeah, I've read it.

It's... uh... interesting.

Indeed.

...?

Computers work due to tiny bits of quartz vibrating electrically inside of them. quartz is rock. Rock holds all the world's history, every book, every newspaper, every menu, every cracked article, and yes, even The Lord of the Rings is "carved" into its magical, electrical interior. The world runs on rocks. The rocks are your only hope of accessing the internet. Video games, movies, blahblahblah, you've heard it all before, the rocks own it now. The rocks are everything. The rocks win. Period. Game over. (Rocks gave us that last phrase.)
