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'.

For me, forcing stupid wins, me and my friend we're playing a good ol' fashioned childrens card game... and we kept drawing magic cards, for about 10 turns each before drawing traps... 10 turns each, then just giving up inexplicably.

Yeah... no. I am pretty sure the smart thing would have been to pick rock. And, you know, win.

It was never about winning at something as simple as "rock paper scissors". No. It was about how would stand up and fight for their right to scissors!

As you can see, I'm a terrible forum comedian, unlike some others who may come and actually say something clever.

OT: Racing from place to place in Borderlands. I will always attempt to take the other person out no matter where we're going, or if we're both on fire. It's instinctive.
