March Madness 2023 (a.k.a the annual Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament)

I can submit IPD’s throws for him if you’d like…

Did @Echo see a squirrel?

You’re asking us??

Good Game SteveWhite! I knew it was risky to be the first one of us to throw Paper on the first throw. :face_with_diagonal_mouth: Good Luck!

I was pleasently surprised to see no dead face at the top.

SLOSFT?

Sounds Like OddSox’s First Time

I know, I know, terrible joke

Well, it looks like the Ides of March rolled in after all, just when we thought we might get away with no carnage… alas, it was not meant to be.

We finally filled out the Sweet Sixteen, thanks to IPD’s reappearance… and the rest (or was it research? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:) treated IPD well, as IPD is now our final entrant into the Sweet Sixteen!

Now wait, while I have the Sweet Sixteen all here:

:camera_flash:

Ah, good - just wanted to get a picture of y’all, because the group isn’t going to be together very long. In fact, the group is already broken up, as we now have our first entrant into the Elite Eight! :astonished: Congrats to VA on being just one match away from successfully defending the region!

… and if we’re not careful, we could have some post-Ides carryover, as we’ve got THREE players who are just one throw away from elimination?!? :scream: Can they all hang on just a little more? Stay tuned and find out! (And as always, keep those throws coming! :+1:)

Good game, @Tiffany. The verbal (verbose?) sparring was fun and made it fun.

But wait! There's more

Probably submitted my last throws of the year.

It is possible that I did the same.

Well, the good news is there’s no :skull_and_crossbones:, so we didn’t lose anyone, but what does :scream: mean?

:scream: means we’ve got a game that’s tied after 5 throws!! :astonished:

That’s right - twig93’s hanging by a thread, and successfully matched each of Klaymen’s throws… but matching throws doesn’t save you (but it also doesn’t hurt you, either!).

Se we’re going to need bonus throws from both @twig93 and @Klaymen to resolve Game 6 - please send 5 more throws, and maybe we’ll have a winner of Game 6?

That epic game stole a little thunder from the soyleche region, where both games were multi-throw games - sure, they used 5 throws in total, but at least they managed to resolve two games that way!

It’s setting up for an exciting ending to Thursday - will our :oh_noes:s keep hanging on, or will their time run out? And maybe, just maybe, we’ll have out first sighting of our defending champion! :crown:

Stay tuned, and keep those throws coming! :+1:

Whiskey has had 9 straight 1 throw games. I have 8 straight including the 5 with Whiskey.

Clearly twig stole my random number generator so she could duplicate my throws…

P value = 0.0041 <0.05

I conclude that cheating has happened
