I understand how scissors can beat paper, and I get how a rock can beat scissors, but there's no fucking way paper can beat rock. Is paper supposed to magically wrap around rock and leave it immobile? Why the hell can't paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why can’t paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anyone. A rock would tear that shit up in 2 seconds. When I play rock paper scissors, I always choose rock. Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper I can punch them in the face.
Congratulations, sir, you have just managed to ruin the last 15 months of my life.
I had been painstakingly researching this very topic, and had planed to write a tell-all book about it, and become a very wealthy man.
However, since you've already spilled the proverbial beans about the conspiracy, I might as well share what I've managed to find out.
RPS was first conceived in 1996, right as computers were beginning to become popular. Understandably, the paper industry was becoming fearful that they would be pushed right out of the information-storage market. To combat this, and restore the public impression of paper back to its former glory, a secret conglomerate of paper producers decided they would join together and find a way to do exactly that. After several months, their crack team of scientists and researchers came up with a brilliant plan to make 'paper' a household word again - RPS. And as you've noticed, in this game they portrayed paper as having improbable, nay impossible, qualities, all as a ruse to increase public confidence in paper. And so for over 10 years the public has been deceived by the evil paper conglomerates, who have ever so cleverly brainwashed the public.
My book may be history, but we still have the future! Contact your local newspapers, call the TV stations, don't rest until everyone knows the Truth about the propaganda that is RPS. We must spread the Truth, you must make it your life's work, as I have made it mine.
Werdan, you may still be able to publish your book!
As you surely must know, RPS was actually not an original concept in 1996. The ancient Egyptians played a similar game called Pyramid, Papyrus, Scythe. Apply your research to the ancient game and the show can still go on.
This mr. e character sure likes to vent his mysterious rage in weird ways.
I have a friend who just recently published an article about this very topic! I can get him to contact werdan and give him a few facts about RPS
And by the way, I agree with trance
I heard that this game actually won the Allies World War 2.
