New Poll - Jan-ken-pon?
Hmm, we haven't had a silly poll in a while...Let's see how Mamsmilk's turns out in the end, haha. As for my choice within the poll options, I choose rock because when you're too lazy to change the shape of your fist, just be rock

Tche. I'm one of those 64 people who view and post in the forums more than anything. Truly saddening...
As for the new poll, I honestly didn't think it was going to get chosen, lol. I chose paper thinking it was the strongest, but then remembered it really isn't...

Oooo... Me like sharp things!
» Harukko on February 28th, 2009, 9:34am
I chose paper. It's pretty flexible and it beats the Oh-so-great rock and if you think about it, scissors can never kill paper, because you only multiply the paper army by cutting it into pieces. XD
It's a fun poll. =3

And, the almighty paper cut beats all. *shiver*
» RakShine on February 28th, 2009, 9:51am
I always win, whenever I use paper.
» Andoru-Kun on February 28th, 2009, 10:05am
Pon defeats all, as strong as rock can be, i'd rather trust a nice sharp blade to a bludgeon weapon with throwing capabilities.
» LinkMcCloud on February 28th, 2009, 10:15am
It's all random, so it's not surprising that it's sticking around 33 percent for all of them.
I chose scissors.

27. Do you feel that the Simpsons episode where Bart plays RPS with his sister Lisa and thinks to himself "good old rock, nothing beats it" has influenced the playing styles of competitors?
Submitted by Leah McAllister
Funny you should mention that. The RPS Public Relations Department recently issued a study entitled "The Effect of Recent Media Coverage on RPS Throws" which made many astounding discoveries, among them:
* Occurence of Rock has risen by over .3% since the airing of the famous Simpsons episode
* Use of RPS in restaurants decreased by 70-80% in the 2 years following the release of the film "Alive" (where RPS is used to decide who gets to eat the fat guy's leg).
* Use of RPS in the television show "Ally McBeal", still doesn't make the idea of unisex office bathrooms very believable.

Every time I play rock, paper, scissors, go with rock first, and I'm reminded of this quote I heard a long time ago...
"When I play rock/ paper/ scissors, I always choose rock. Then when somebody claims to beat me with their paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, oh shit, I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you, you asshole"

a) all the time
b) here and there
c) if it ever comes out, it's a complete accident
d) never

I like how the poll is going. I chose paper because I usually go with paper first...
» cjchan on February 28th, 2009, 11:55pm
Even if more people votes, results will always be close to 33,3%
» iamssjvash on March 1st, 2009, 6:42am
I find it amazing that the options are so very close....
» waftingwish on March 3rd, 2009, 5:33pm
I think it's expected. It's like if you flip a coin enough times the ratio of heads to tails will eventually balance out to 50/50.
It's just probablility.
Three options means 33.3% chance of any one being chosen.

Paper!
People tend to start
the battle with a rock.
Therefore, I've got the feeling
it will win, but we'll see how many
neurotic people we have here.

Wow! Surprising statistics! it just shoes a magnificient one-third for every option! That's your change of winning!
» eternia on March 4th, 2009, 4:22pm
I chose scissors. Eyes poking is more fun than punching or slapping. Kyahaha.
» xblkdragonx on March 4th, 2009, 7:12pm
I chose scissors just cuz I thought less ppl would choose it. Hopefully more ppl would choose paper so I can cut them up 
jk.
I didn't vote on the last poll cuz I use more than 3 features and since it didn't have the option of "more than one" I abstained from voting >_<

Something is wrong 
. The results just showed:
Rock: 33.3%
Paper: 33.5%
Scissors: 33.3%
That's 100.1% seems like someone really wanted paper to win

» anime_lover122488 on March 6th, 2009, 9:54pm
fyi, its probably because of rounding. like, 33.28%, 33.45%, 33.27%, add up to 100%, but would show 33.3%, 33.5%, and 33.3% =)
» SiLNeT on March 5th, 2009, 6:19am
how can paper be winning?! ROCK
» linnil on March 6th, 2009, 2:37am
I choose scissors thinking that there will be people choose paper the most 555+
