March Madness 2025 (a.k.a the annual Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament)

Good game @WishBear !

Well-known saying: don’t run with scissors.

Lesser-known saying: don’t wield scissors while playing R-P-S and eating buttered popcorn.

Scared is only spelled with one r. :laughing:

Yes . . . but the past tense of scar has . . . multiple r’s . . .

Or so I’ve hearrd.

I’m aware. I was trash talking! You know…getting in his head to psyche him out for when he has to throw down against me or skysn93. Sort of trash talking. In as much as I’m able to do that since I’m generally too silly.

Apparently I wasn’t doing a good job since you didn’t get it.

You can’t spell “Why do you howl [at losing]?” without “CindyLouWho”. :garbagetalk:

:rofl: We will see, won’t we?

Quick Summary:
:skull_and_crossbones:
:oh_noes: :oh_noes:

Alas, our 3 :oh_noes: have shrunk to 2, as we’ve lost yet another player… farewell, Kid_Rock. So all now the cliff-dwelling action is in the T.N.Linus Region. skysn93 managed to hand on for another game; will NumericalNueroticism follow suit?

Three of our Sweet Sixteen matchups are underway, and our defending champion’s already got a chink in the armor… but maybe that was part of the plan? :tfh: The remaining matches are showing a lot of back-and-forth (though with one notable MIA - @Echo, where are you?).

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

skysn93 - whichever one of us moves on should take advantage of those popcorn butterfingers.

Good Game @ALivelySedative :slightly_smiling_face:

Open the cheese drawer and she’ll come running.

What?! Actually, I’m just deferring to my elders for this first match.

:tea:

I seem to be strong out of the gate but then age gets in the way and I tire myself out.

Quick Summary:
:popcorn:
:oh_noes:
:zzz:

Things are getting even more exciting in the TNLinus region, where it’s proving quite difficult to finish off a match! Both matches were :oh_noes: status, but skysn93 has managed to tie things up to bring us to another Winner Take All Game 7!! :astonished: So get out your :popcorn: for another exciting finish (and we’ll see if NN can follow in those footsteps!).

You’ll also notice a new summary symbol, one I hope not to have to use again: :zzz:. This means that someone has slipped into “#” status below, which means we haven’t heard from them in a while, and if we don’t hear from them again by tomorrow night we’re going to consider that a forfeit… and we really, really don’t want to do that. (So @Echo, now that you’ve demonstrated what not to do, it’s time to send in some more throws, 'k? 'K! :+1:)

Meanwhile in the JFG region, everyone’s now on the scoreboard as both matches have evened up after a couple of multi-throw games, and in the VA region both active matches are just waiting for a response.

Stay tuned for what looks to be an exciting Thursday, and keep those throws coming! :+1:
