But wait a minute here. Doesn't Rock "break" Scissors?
Where's the "strategy" then?
Are we just basically guessing 1, 2 or 3 then?

As the house, so to speak, I'll email the first ten picks to myself immediately after posting this thread and will post its date and time line with those picks here as soon as ten individual picks are posted (if there's interest, we'll repeat the routine). One point for your first correct pick, two for your second, three for your third, etc. Play as often as you wish taking turns.
Who will reign as King or Queen of the Paper, Rock, Scissors Game Hill during 2014? May the best strategist win. Enjoy.

tl;dr version: If we're not trying to BEAT your choice, but only to GUESS your choice, then what is the freaking point here and what does strategy have to do with it?
Maybe you could address this now. Note: I don't need to see the OP again to understand your answer, as long as you understand my question.

We'll start fresh with Round #2; my picks are locked in a second email.
Thank you.
