Talk:Rock paper scissors

Game theory

This page is listed under Game Theory, but there is no game-theoretic discussion of the game. I think it should be removed from the panel that shows up at the bottom of game theory articles, because I was looking up game theory and the article has wasted my time. How do I remove it from the panel? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.105.165.251 (talk) 03:07, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Also, I hope the classification as a "top importance" game theory article is a joke, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.105.165.251 (talk) 03:25, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Here is a commentary on the game theory and/or "algorithms" to play this game and easily beat the current top algorithm: http://twitter.com/#!/QuakePhil/status/108920443414659072 72.245.213.213 (talk) 15:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

History

The history section has no citations and has been tagged as possible original research for more than a year. I am removing it. 65.51.38.211 (talk) 15:50, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't feel strongly about this deletion, but the section ws not really lacking citations; it just included them inline and vaguely:

• According to Xie Zhaozhe (谢肇淛)'s book ‘’Wuzazu(五杂组)‘’...
• Li rihua(李日华)'s book Note of Liuyanzhai(六砚斋笔记)also reveals this game...

I restored the deleted text, because I was about to complain on the talk page about how this article has no History section. It has 2 inline citations; so if it is deficient, then instead of deleting it, people should try to improve/expand or rewrite the section. --70.166.133.138 (talk) 08:03, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I've seen suggestions the French name for the game, 'chifoumi', comes from 'hi-fu-mi', an abbreviated version of the Japanese words for 'one, two, three' (allegedly hito, futa, mitsu). Anyone have a reliable source for this? Or know enough Japanese to say if it may be right?RLamb (talk) 22:41, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Removing 2010 World Champion

There was no World Championship hosted by the World RPS Society in 2010. I am removing the false "2010 World Champion". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.86.50 (talk) 21:18, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

ICQ RPS

How about adding a paragraph about ICQ's version for "Rock Paper Scissors", which looks like a chess board (except it's not 8 × 8), and there's two special players - Trap and Flag. Galzigler (talk) 09:08, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Another variation

One variation has been heard to use- Rabbit Gun Carrot. JohnsonL623 (talk) 04:16, 6 September 2011 (UTC) Among schoolkids in Manchester, England in the 1950s it was called Scissors Paper Brick, though you wouldn't know it from their pronunciation (sizz-pap-brick! or sometimes sizz-pat-brick). Why the middle syllable was pronounced 'pap' and not 'pape' or 'pay' I never understood.RLamb (talk) 20:05, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Tournaments

The tournaments section has grown as big as the rest of the article. Does it really increase the reader's understanding of Rock-Paper-Scissors? Wikipedia isn't a news site... --Sam (talk) 23:28, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

It has become a bit unweildy; perhaps it should be split off into it's own article ?--ProfPolySci45 (talk) 23:29, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

james bond version ??

my kids play a variation called james bond, where you can shoot (index finger pointed out) shield (arms crossed) load (I forget) and there are a couple of others. seems like it should be here; I bet there are 100s of variants like that.
