I once won a RPS tournament with 100 people by throwing nothing but paper, and making sure to tell each opponent that’s what i was going to do. I’m convinced people think paper is somehow weaker than rock or scissors and that’s why it’s effective. That and the mind game of telling them what I’ll be throwing. But even when the others that lost to me affirmed that I wasn’t lying people thought I was lying.

Except... if you said you were throwing paper, they would think you were trying to bait them into going scissors so you could go rock.

So wouldn't they themselves go paper? Why would they go rock?

Only if they think. Most are like he is definitely not doing paper so scissor is useless. Proceeds to use rock and paper
