    I’m now curious to know where you’re from, if you’re willing to share. I’ve always known the game as rock, paper, scissors. I’m in the UK, and it seems like the rest of the Anglosphere uses the same three options but sometimes in a different order, like scissors, paper, rock or something. What’s the gesture you make for “stick”?

        I like to think it’s just the same logic as that old stick vs 1,000 US marines post. Scissors cut the stick in half? Now you have two sticks. Stick always wins.

        Anyway it’s not like paper beats rock has a whole lot of reasoning behind it

          This is why I prefer Ninja-Hunter-Bear

          Ninja beats hunter

          Hunter beats bear

          Bear beats ninja

          There’s full body actions that go with it, but this is text.

          I’ve never heard of it either. I’m no swordsman. But Mulan is definitely throwing Stick.
