My TC Conspiracy is that RPS was meant to prompt an emergent competition among the players with one team eventually dominating the rest, but it never happened.
I havent seen a single Lizard or Spock yet
we already know the meaning...you just didn't bother to do any research
I know what the game is that aint my question pal as far as im aware its for something yet to be announced..but if you know...what is it then?
it is merely to fill in the competition area of the profile while there's not an event, and for the handful of people who actually try to participate in it
i have never heard of any plans for it to be updated, improved, have rewards added for it, or anything else
Thanks, love you.
Mentions: R.P.S. got numbers now
Key taste better than bread
I might be having a stroke...wut?

You gave a shit about that?
Fuck me...
Are you five? It meant nothing, just something to distract you...
Idk what it means or why people have different numbers or symbols. It just appeared one day as filler, and then we just went on with our lives.
Aww you gave a shit enough to comment so all the shits are being given i would say :) ly
Im sure something was meant to come of it oh well it be reyt
At this point I think it is unfinished and has been put on the back burner indefinitely.
It’s just like mission 2.0, and everything else that’s been in development. It’s a myth. Remember the replacement event we were supposed to get for dog tags?
I thought it was the number of people you have "interreacted" with...
I genuinely like it but I feel like there's so much wasted potentially. Obviously, it's purpose is to fill a space in the interim of events but it could have been something. Right now there's no incentive to do anything with it.
Like the framework is there. 3 teams with a point system that is tied into lives. it's simple but who cares. I have no reason to convert someone to paper, no one has any reason to convert me to scissors. Not only that, since no one cares, no has tried. So I'd have to be attack by scissors 1,022 times to lose paper. Now honestly, that's not a lot. There's 100k active players, and I'm not exactly unbeatable, I'm sure 1,000 scissors could dogpile me right now and that would be that. But why would they? It'd achieve nothing.
Incentivise it too much and it'll be rigged but get some merits attached and a leader board and you've got a simple year long event.
The problem is that Torn's code base is horrible. Let me visualize the problem for you.

Remove ANY piece and the whole fucking thing wants to collapse.
It's just an endless cycle of:
"Well, if we want to do A we have to do B. Oh.. wait, if we want to do B, we have to do C first. Uh oh, looks like changing C is going to require changing D beforehand. Okay well if we're changing A, B, C, and D, then we should just change E, F, G, and H first."
Then every so often you'll get an instance of "Well we implemented C but then B broke but B kind of still works and it'd require a lot of effort to fix, so we'll just leave it as is for a bit while we finish work on D, E, F, G, and H"
I hope this help clears up the confusion
