FOFC Rock Paper Scissors Tournament #1 Official Thread

[MJ4H]

Hello and welcome to the first ever FOFC Rock! Paper! Scissooooooooooorrrrs!!!! Championship! My name is Guy Smiley and I'm your host for this amazing event!

We've seen our contestant list grow to 21 players for our first tournament. What a turn-out for our debut! So how are we going to widdle these 21 competitors down to the one TRUE RPS CHAMPION? I'm glad you asked!!!

First we will divide them into 3 groups of 7 players each. Each player will play the others in their group to 3 points. The 4 players who have the most victories over their opponents at the end of this round robin will advance to round 2!

So, who is in what group? Well, here is our official Round 1 Grouping chart!


As for the rules, everyone knows them already! But here is a quick overview. Each match will be two players, head-to-head. Player 1 and player 2 will each throw either rock, paper, or scissors. The result is a push if both players make the same throw. If the throws are not the same then the result is decided by the following:

ROCK over SCISSORS
SCISSORS over PAPER
PAPER over ROCK

Each time you make a throw that defeat your opponent's throw, you score one point. The first player to score 3 points gains the victory in that match.

The groupings are made, you must play every player in your group one time so, players, you may begin submitting your throws IMMEDIATELY! Please use the following format:

Please submit 7 throws for each player in your group. For instance if I were PLAYER1 in a 7 player group, I might submit something that looks like this:

PLAYER2: RPSSPSP
PLAYER3: PSSPPRR
PLAYER4: SPPRPPS
PLAYER5: RRPPSSP
PLAYER6: RPPRSSP
PLAYER7: SSPPRRS

of course using the appropriate players' names instead of PLAYER#. Submit your entries to me (MJ4H) via PRIVATE MESSAGE. As soon as I have all 7 entries for a group, I will post the results IN DRAMATIC FASHION!!

ARE YOU READY TO GET FUNKY??? LET'S DO IT!

We will try to do that when we can have a smaller group. Unfortunately, we had 21 players so I had to make 7 person groups which means a lot more games. I am planning to do one at a time games in round 2. Round 1 would take forever to do that way with the current setup. Sorry about that.

[MJ4H]

Need about 6 more entries for round 1. Will see if they trickle in today and if not I will set a deadline. Looking good so far.

[st.cronin]

I'll play.

I may have worded that last post poorly. I mean I need 6 more players that are already entered to turn in their moves for the first round. Sorry for the confusion

[st.cronin]

Fine, be that way. I didn't want to play your stupid game anyway.

j/k

[Greyroofoo]

Maybe cronin can be a substitute if someone doesn't submit?

[korme]

But cronin would just submit NENENEP

And it would confuse MJ.

Anyways, I snet mine.

[MJ4H]

Still waiting on 3 players to submit. Unfortunately, it is one in each group, so none of the groups are ready, yet.

[SnDvls]

Shoot them a PM reminder

I'm getting mine in now

[MrDNA]

Sorry, Internet was down the past two days. Ready for playing!

[oliegirl]

So is that everyone or are we still waiting on slackers to get their plays in????

[Danny]

I'm going to be screwed if I get matched up with someone who likes using paper.

[MJ4H]

One more player. I will PM them tonight.

[tarcone]

Patterns are fun

[MJ4H]

Tonight we have live coverage of some of the early matches in Group 1. First up, a tense matchup of two of the favorites to win it all! Our first two competitors are tied for having the best odds of winning in the whole field with 19 other players. How exciting!

I have to really question Neon's strategy there. You just can't go to "rock" that often against hoopsguy... he's going to catch on.

[MrDNA]

That was freaking fantastic. Edge of my seat fun.

Weird how similar our patterns were. MrDNA only won due to homefield advantage!

Yet I shipped "paper" at him every throw until the game-winner. I hope that MrDNA and Korme were taking careful notes

[MrDNA]

*scribles furiously*

GG Pass, we both exactly followed patterns on that one. Thank god it was first to three

[MJ4H]

I have all the entries now, so now it is just up to me to get them posted. I will do so a few at a time over the course of the next day or so.
