Unown F (GE) and Mr. Mime (MT) the new “Rock Paper Scissors Nightmare”

[SLOW DECK]

JUDGES,

If someone screws up a RPS, by not doing it on the agreed upon count, by making some sort of not official play, they should AUTOMATICALLY LOSE THE GAME.

A player should lose RPS if:
1. They don't put down a proper RPS on the agreed upon count.
2. They do any thing that resembles a morphing RPS. (Thus paper should be flat to the ground paper, not sideways. Scizsors is done sideways, Rock is Rock) Any thing that looks like 2 different things, anything that is reasonably confusing, THEY LOSE.

Same way for the Hand over the coin, if the COIN sticks, the manever fails.

Judges should always rule this way, thus if any "accidental" sticky hands is a failure.

That's really over-thinking it. (My group usually does paper sideways so if we both get paper, we shake hands. :tongue

Why is everyone getting so up-in-arms over this stuff? You place the coin down under your hand, don't press your palm against it and just turn your hand over and reveal the coin. ****, if that's too complex, just cover the coin with Mr. Mime instead of your hand.

slightly off topic but the official hand shape for paper is horizontal (flat) and not a karate chop (vertical). Morphing would bother me in RPS whereas getting the timing completely wrong would be a retry (learning oportunity). For what it is worth I thought that the default throw in RPS was Rock: mess up and it is assumed you meant rock. Not that I enforce that rule.

If you have sticky hands then cover the coin with a card. The card may stick to your hand but the coin should not stick to the card.

Whilst placing a coin in one hand and asking the opponent to chose which hand has the coin is similar it is unfortunately not what the card says to do. I won't be using that approach.

Whether you can randomly place the coin was previously asked here in the Ask the Masters forum.

 

[SPARTA]

Whats wrong with placing the coin in one hand (actually using a coin, palm facing up), the opening it after your opponent guesses? Even if it sticks, you will easily be able to tell that it did, and know the opposite side of what it was is faceup.

Where are these cards going to be played outside of a prerelease? I played Unown F at the prerelease. I used the dice and the coin. It never caused any problems picking at random.
