RPS Commentary on Round 1 w/Nate

Christopher Milone: here was my strat discussion with swartz on throw 1
Christopher Milone: i talk to nate about my strat
so i have to go level 3
i don't talk to you about it
so i sort of screwed up though
on the first throw
because i knew that he knew
that only rookies lead rock
so i didn't think he would lead rock
but he might think that i would think that he would lead rock
and hence i would throw paper
so to beat that
he should throw scissors
which is what he did
and so did i thinking
i know he won't throw rock
so i'm safe with scissors
at worst i'm a push
so i'm free rolling
it wasn't so bad
but i knew i should have thrown rock
even before i did it
n_kontny:
Christopher Milone: was that about right though?
Christopher Milone: was that what you were thinking
Christopher Milone: that i would think you would throw rock
Christopher Milone: and so i would throw paper
Christopher Milone: and you should throw scissors
Christopher Milone: or was it random?
n_kontny: yeah, i definitely thought there were good odds you'd think i'd throw rock
n_kontny: to open
n_kontny: and there were deinfilte some other thoughts along there, i think i got a little messed up worrying about timing so that i wouldn't cheat
n_kontny: i started throwing kinda poor stuff
n_kontny:
Christopher Milone: right
Christopher Milone: well
Christopher Milone: there is little time to formulate a plan
Christopher Milone: for throws 2+
Christopher Milone: so you need to have that thought out a little beforehand
Christopher Milone: unless you just subscribe to the random theory
n_kontny: no way
n_kontny: random is for rookies
n_kontny:
Christopher Milone: right
Christopher Milone: random is never how i play
