And we used a Rock-Paper-Scissors function to decide who took the first turn. I picked scissors. So did my opponent. Do over. I picked scissors again. So did they. Do over. Scissors to scissors again. Do over. And over. And over. And over.
We kept this up for almost an hour constantly picking scissors.
We were both stubborn and stupid and wasted a hell of a lot of time for no reason (we didn't even play chess in the end).
However I don't regret it. Occasionally I think you need these experiences where you simply do not shift. You don't give way at all. Even just to prove to your opponent that you were able to make THEM give way.
At the time I likened it to Vulcan Raven's words on the Eskimo Olympics. We were engaging in a different version of the Ear Pull event. It was stupid and cost us far more than we won but dammit I WON.
It was important to simply win through force of will.
Relate your stories of forcing stupid 'wins'.
