Fuck OFFFFFFF. lol

No. It's asserting total dominance over your opponent.

Nigga.

I secretly keep track of what people do in rock paper scissors if it's someone I'm around a lot since we tend to use it as a deicision tool a fair bit

You're "disrespecting" their bad playstyle by getting away with playing worse.

Revealing gaping holes in their play.

They could just have thrown rock once.

And that'd shut my gob.

How is it my fault I predicted them perfectly

you didn't you said you just took scissors every time

I don't think anyone was blaming you

@Schedrevka lol. I can't remember what I throw. I think I'm near random as a result.

Can't mindgame someone who can't ming.

Okay let me make something clear

As soon as he decided to stop throwing paper, I ALSO continued beating him

And that was even funnier.

If i dont know my next move, how can youuuuu?

Checkmate atheists!

Because I knew exactly when he was gonna switch

Because he wore his emotion on his sleeve.

I wasn't playing badly on purpose at any point.

True dominance.

Really though the best play is starting with paper according to the recorded statistics. Rock is the most thrown first move

I was seeing how long I could continue winning.

AND IT WAS AWHILE.

this situation is like that one guy said

"You jump around too much, i can just stick my sword out and have you jump on it"

Working at a grocery store, bagging groceries, permits for a lot of rock paper scissors.

See, Schedrevka's version of winning the game is "Relying on the polls"

I bet he didn't have the winning streak I had.

Ever.

why not "Paperbag, Plasticbag, carton box"?

That's just the best you can do with no other information given.

In a vacuum against a complete stranger

Well, have more information, goddammit

For the very first move

Equilibrium strategy is pure random.

The statistics are literally the only information in that situation unless you're Sherlock Holmes

Everything else is over-complicating matters.

what if you're Trump and playing 17 dimensional rock paper scissors? <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

Or are Scribble and can read your opponent.

A lot of pokemon though does just boil down to advanced rock paper scissors. It's so satisfying when you say have a water type against a fire type and decide to use an ice move against their fire type because you know they're likely to switch to their grass. Even more satisfying when you're the one with the fire type and predict that happening and stay in with the fire type to use a super effective move against their water type.

That's most competitive gaming when you get down to it.

yomi

Playing to Win goes on about that for awhile.

@pratel If scribble can read opponents, she's have better arguments against you than saying "nope, i'm sad happy now with cats, forgive me" 😉

It's not just pokemon. It's fighting games, card games, team tactics games, strategy games...

Buh?

Buh?

What's that mean?

It means "Bwah?"

Or "Aehh?"

Is that second one a tim taylor noise?

I dunno. But I'm not terribly creative. I'm leading with Charizard.

You Schedrevka?

Whatever I think will be able to best handle the opponent's lead

Mjooo tooo

Forfeit?

Shedinja

Since most people are really predictable and you just need to figure out which one has the sneaky stones

But usually something with taunt

Schedrevka casts "Stoicism and deductive reasoning"

Its super effective

Forfeit?

I mean, you can't lose a pokemon if you never pick an actual lead.

thats that AI defense

i can't win, but i can stop so i don't lose

Optimal gambling strategy.

The real way to win in Vegas.

No

Optimal gambling strategy is to keep going because you've sunk to much in already and with all that losing you're bound to win next time... right?

The real way is to make csgo lotto

RIGHT?

the real way to win in vegas is to get syphilis, aids, AND from the same MAN

<:VeRiFiEd:463064374236413962>

real way to CSGO lotto is to kill yourself

Vote UKIP

can't, i'm a social cist

@Schedrevka Exactly. And the best way to save up money is the lotto. How else are you getting a couple mil in the bank in couple years.

robbing another bank 😉

These days?

Invest in catfood.

Yeah, if you put your money in the bank you risk it getting stolen by Wol. Just invest in lottery tickets until you get the big payout

Watch your money accumulate.

You could call what I just said a joke.

But it's funny because it's true.

Really, as long as the stock market is going up, you'll make money.

i get it, cuz people hate each other and become cat people cuz they're lonely!

Buy out all the catfood in the petco and corner the market then sell it back to them for profit

ooooohhhhh

It might work for dogfood as well, but I dunno.

nah dogs are for happy couples

Dogs are bigger responsibilities.

You can't just leave them alone for very long.

How many cats get run over versus dogs.

So funny story. I'm told there's a statistical tendency for democrats to prefer cats and republicans to prefer dogs.

That's why you get a dog and a cat so they can get into hijinx on their big adventure across the country to find their way back home

Wow I just crushed a fly with a pinky finger.

What about robo-dog. I want a robo-dog already.

Just get a magic shapeshifting dog

I find grabbing mosquitos out of the air with one hand works far better than trying to clap them. Clapping moves too much air so they tend to just get pushed away
