The brownies?  *shudders*

So what's more fair... RPS or a normal coin?  I'd think RPS would have a bit of a psychological factor involved...

I suppose... although the familiar hand at that game would likely attempt to predict the actions of their opponent to so many levels of abstraction that it would be pretty much random anyway.

That's true... unless you know the other person always has a favorite to go with.  But then I guess the person could try to trip you up and go with a different one this time...

But if you want to be really hardcore, you play RPS-25 instead :D

Paper-scissor-rock method? This must be a Canadian term. :|
The Rock-paper-scissors game is just as common in Argentina as it is in the USA and Canada... And Mexico too, I think.

oh, yes... I remember that in my childhood you had to shake your closed hand at the rythm  of the phrase: "ja gua yus pi!" [HA WA YOOS PEE] (no translation needed), opening  it in the last syllabe...

In japan is named Janken, and there is international tournaments, too!

Just see the wikipedia entry :comp

mmm... the spanish entry say that this game was created in china, played by the warlords of the Han dynasty...  :reading

Quote from: ShiningShadow on September 11, 2006, 07:10:29 AMYep the whole fate of the universe by a flip of a coin. Really cosmic if I see it that way. Me I prefer rock paper scissors method :meh that's me anyway......

What about dragon?!
:U that seems really insane, but it would be funny
"rock!"
"goat!"
"hey! there's no goat in this game!"

we don't use Rock-paper-scissors not coin toss around here... we use a lot the odd/even or zero/one method instead

Ah, Rock-Paper-Scissors...my favorite of the decision-making games.  It's also fun to use substitutes sometimes...I once tried to make up one for Fire-Grass-Water, A La Pokemon.

'Course, I like rolling dice just as well, for a more-than-one thing...

So why would Mab be trusted with the coin toss?  Unless she's the only one trustworthy enough not to use a one-sided trick coin...   :rolleyes

You don't need a trick coin. If you have good hand-eye coordination you can pick the coin out of the air with whatever side you want. In my family the coin has to be down and the person who tossed is not allowed to call first. Better yet, the coin has to hit the floor and not be taken from the air.
My, I'll bet you monsters lead interesting lives. I said to my girlfriend just the other day: "Gee, I'll bet monsters are interesting," I said. The places you must go and the things you must see. My stars! And I'll bet you meet a lot of interesting people, too. I'm always interested in meeting interesting people.

I think Mabs really get serious if she wants. But when she throws down then that's a strip I would love to see. To literaly see the fur fly :kruger......... :mowmeep

well, speaking of rock paper scissors, they could have played ro sham bo for the right to go >:3
(no, wikipedia does not contain information about ro sham bo, it sends you to rock paper scissors, try the urban dictionary)

I think ro sham bo actually exists as the alternate name to rock paper scissors... South Park is the farthest back thing I can remember which spawned the "alternate" game...

It is, but the Southpark alternate definition is the one makes my statememnt funny.  :erk

for once I have nothing to say...except this, which is really more of nothing anyway...and I doubt anyone would notice since everyone has stopped talking about the comic. :erk

I just thought of something...I always wondered if Pyroduck was a demon or something...

*Charline hmphs*  Usually when I flip for heads or tails, it actually means the use of said body parts in the flipping.   >:3

Normal flip with the coin rotating in the air. I guess if you got a coin flipping gun it might be safe to play against my Dad. He's in his sixties and I've never seen him miss snatching it the way he wants. He managed to teach the trick to everyone in the family but me. I have vision problems and small rapidly moving objects appear to blink in and out to me. (Dodgeballs in particular.... brrrr dodgeballs!) :boggle

When in doubt, a three-headed coin always wins.
