If you don't know what Rock-Paper-Scissors or the Prisoner's Dilemma is, go look it up on Wikipedia.
I suppose you can consider this a variant of Wine In Front of Me, except with less poisonous death.
Anyway, the rules! 1) The Negotiation Phase. This is the phase in which the players matched up discuss whether they will throw Rock, Paper, or Scissors at each other in the match. Communication is not limited to this thread, nor is it required. 2) The Declaration Phase. Each player then says: Declare: Throw Rock(/Paper/Scissors). This declaration MUST be made in THIS thread. 3) The Moment of Truth. Each player then PMs the mod with their actual action. 4) The Scoring Phase. The scoring is not based on the outcome of the throw but whether or not each player stuck to his declared sign. * If one player cooperates (sticks to his call) and the other defects (changes the sign), the defector gets 5 points and the cooperator gets none. * If both players cooperate, both get 3 points. * If both players defect, both get 1 point.
Each phase is repeated until all of the players who signed up have played against the others. The player with the highest final score wins.
So who wants to play?

All right!
Round 1: 1) NAF vs. redskeezix 2) redskeezix vs. FlyingCowOfDoom 3) FlyingCowOfDoom vs. NAF
The Negotiation and Declaration Phases have begun, and will end until all parties have made their declarations.
Please clarify the name of your opponent when you make your declarations.
You have 72 Hours to make your declarations.

Wow, this game is going to ruin some friendships, lol!
It's pretty simple. We agree to both tell the truth and we both do well. I promise I won't lie.

You promise not to lie? That's not the same as "I promise not to change my sign." So, I also promise not to lie.

I am going to make this easy. I won't lie and I will throw rock at all opponents. No need to negotiate.
Of course, that might be a lie.
THROW ROCK!

Seeing NAF is the only one who's made a declaration within the deadline, I'm tempted to declare him the unilateral winner.
