Looks like we’re set to kick off the day, but before we start, let’s give one more round of applause to the two ousted semi-finalists, ao_fan and Doctor_Who - they both had a great run to make it this far! :clap: :clap:

And now on to the Finals!!! :party: :party:

We start out the finals with… no appearance of Rock? :astonished:

A special thanks in the first round to Doctor Who for leaving his scissors after our match allowing me to effectively use this weapon!

307

… and Rock finally makes an appearance, but it’s an effective one!

Now both our players are in unfamiliar territory in a 7 game series! :thinking: (I was expecting MayanActuary to win the Game 2, since that’s how MayanActuary advanced last round… which would’ve matched how ALivelySedative advanced as well, starting out 0-2.)

So Game 1 went 1 throw, Game 2 went 2 throws - any predictions for Game 3?

Final Four!!

All matches will be Best of 7

ALivelySed defeats MayanActry in Game 2, series tied (1-1)
S-R ALivelySed
S-S MayanActry

ALivelySed  4 ---- ALivelySed  1
ao_fan      3

With so many delicious items on the expanded menu, why would you settle for that?

312

Having something to throw at you?

:tomato: ← not as good as the AO–tomato.

Well, for those of you who said “3 three throws”, you forgot to factor in MayanActuary’s desire for efficiency!

And for those of you who said “How many throws did we need in Game 3 last year?”, you must be an actuarian!

So ALivelySedative still hasn’t lead the Finals at any point yet… but maybe that’s all part of the plan! :tfh:

Stay tuned - I think things are about to get even more interesting!! :+1:

I have been at 2-2 in all of my matches this time around. I have won all my matches this time around.

With that in mind, I have submitted throws that should get me back to 2-2 since I have proven that that is winning.

This hint should be enough for my opponent to know what I submitted so he can comply with the 2-2 desire.

317

Well MayanActuary, there’s good news and back news:

Bad news for MayanActuary

You can’t always get what you want… :slightly_frowning_face:

Good news for MayanActuary

… but that means you’re only one throw away from a RPS title!! :astonished:
