When playing Rock, Paper, Scissors.. do you throw down your hand after you say 'scissors', or do you use the 'rock, paper, scissors, shoot' method (or just throw on the next count after scissors, like me. I simply omit shoot now)

this seems to always cause confusion. There was some serious RPS battles in the dorms last year, it was always a 4 count game. But others would play us, and quite often they threw on the 3rd count. Completely killing that round.

RPS.

I always just do like a 1,2,3, throw it sorta thing. Don't even really say anything, kinda like 3 fist pumps and lay it out.

Rock, paper, scisscors, and shoot! Throw on shoot. Not after or before.

Must be a Canadian thing? Everyone knows it's Rock-Paper-Scissors.

I've always thought it was Rock-Scissors-Paper. Everything else sounds strange to me.

 

[Tiamat]

This thread bothered you enough to click on it, read it, and post a useless comment (bumping the thread in the process)?

In mandarin it's scissors, rock, textile. In English it's Rock Paper, Scissor.

Depends on the combatant. Sometimes you can plunge the scissors in for the kill before getting beaten to death by a rock or getting stabbed in the eye by a paper airplane.

that's because you keep playing against the guy who lost all his fingers (and thumb). Rock is all he can make, yet you were dumb enough to always play scissors. Who's fault is that?

I think older people call it Paper Rock Scissors and younger people call it Rock Paper Scissors. That's always been my experience. By older I don't mean 5 years older than I me I mean a generation or more.

Edit: 2+ generations huh? I must've been tired when I wrote that one.
