RULE #7: All disputes are to be settled the old fashioned way...with Rock Paper Scissors.
It is the only fair way to settle disputes. There are three options, with all parties involved having every one of those options at their disposal...fair is fair.
If you throw rock on your first throw, you are bold, but predictable. The smarter opponent will throw paper if they assess their inexperienced opponent adequately. If you throw paper on your first throw you are revealed as a seasoned veteran that understands that the vast majority of first throws will be a rock, if facing an inexperienced opponent. If you throw scissors on the first throw, you either understand that your opponent is inexperienced, or you believe that they are fairly seasoned and will throw paper if you think that they think you are inexperienced and will throw a rock. If you believe your opponent knows you have experience enough to understand that he thinks that you think he is experienced, then both of you would logically both throw scissors because an experienced Rock Paper Scissors competitor would assume that you would not throw rock, and assume the other would definitely NOT throw paper due to the fact that the other would understand their opponent is seasoned and assumes the other is seasoned and/or experienced, and therefor would throw scissors.
Therefor, if you believe your opponent thinks you are new to the game, throw scissors. If you think your opponent thinks you are experienced, but thinks he/she is inexperienced then throw the paper. If you believe that your opponent is experienced, and also believe that he/she believes you are experienced, as well, then throw the rock, just like the newbie would.
If you think that your opponent thinks that you think that he is as experienced as you, then both of you will likely throw the bold, predictable, newbie rock. Therefor, you should throw paper. Which means you should really throw scissors. Which means you should actually throw rock.
That covers the first throw.
RULE #7.1: All Rock/Paper/Scissor battles must be resolved in a best of three series.
If you have won the first throw with the rock, your opponent will think you are either a newbie, or an EXTREMELY experienced, contemplative opponent. The latter will occur if your opponent is egotistical and at the same time respects your game.
If you believe your opponent is egotistical, go ahead and overwhelm them with the landslide. The landslide, obviously, is a series of three rocks consecutively. If your opponent respects your game, and believes you respect his game, there is no way they will see this deployment coming. The Landslide is the least respectful series of three throws you can deploy against an RPS veteran. But it works.
If you believe that your opponent is experienced and respects your game, but not egotistical, you can throw three papers in a row, which is called the Executive.
Three throws of scissors is volatile and is definitely not recommended. Unless of course you believe that your opponent thinks that you think that they think that you think they are experienced and egotistical, and don't believe you have the gall to deploy the volatile suicide move of three scissors in a row.
Assessing your opponent is key, obviously.
If you throw paper while deploying Jazz Hands, you are daring, bold, and deserve the accolades fit for royalty. But if your opponent throws scissors, you're still screwed.
Jazz Hands may be stronger than a rock or able to save the world, but they are not all powerful. Jazz Hands are not indestructible. Jazz Hands are not immune to defeat. If you deploy Jazz Hands and lose to scissors in an RPS battle, at least you have lost with your dignity intact.
Next time a beach ball lands in between two players and was gettable by both parties, the loser of a Rock/Paper/Scissors battle will be required to accept blame and subsequently lose one life. Your hand jazzing will be applauded and appreciated...but if you lose to scissors, accept defeat and move on. We are all destined to fail at some point. You can fail respectfully, or lose your dignity in the process. the choice is completely yours.
Today's Jazz Hands was a landslide. Day eighty-one complete.
