Close call there.  I was one throw away from a loss in the second match.  Urbanus almost took me down, but I ended up sticking in there to pull off the game at 2 matches to 1.  Let me know who's next.

Well played, guys. Congratulations on your win, R Cohrs, and commiserations on your defeat Urbanus. That all-Paper approach in the final set would've been a stunning way to win, high-risk but stylish.

Indeed good job to the winners and bad luck to the losers.

I'm waiting for ScissorSista to tell me her real name or add me so I can play against her.

Cheers,

Franklint,
    Have you tried sending ScissorSista a private message to request the info you need?  You can use the message feature on this site.  Good luck with the tournament!

Hi guys.

ScissorSista and I finally had our first game.

Against all odds, I took it home!

Thanks heaps, 'twas a good game.

An outline of the game (apologies and thanks to martinburley for copying your match write-up format):

ScissorSista: OK Will...bring it on!
Franklint: Alright Ally. You asked for it. Just so you know, I've thrown scissors.
Throw 1: ScissorSista S v R Franklint - Franklint wins
Franklint: ...
Throw 2: ScissorSista P v S Franklint - Franklint wins
Franklint: Yay! Nice game. Thanks.

I'm really enjoying this. Not only do I meet new and interesting people and play some fun games, I get to learn how Facebook works.

Thanks all.

I'm still not entirely sure whether we're playing best of three of three or just best of three. Could someone clear this up? I am assuming the former because the other matches that have taken place have been best of three of threes.

Cheers,
Franklint

Rosh, I am not deaf, I can see that your post was directed at me.

You allowed me to dress up in your costume to take that photo, I see no reason why i can't use it in my Roshshambull avatar.

Besides, you go around making claims to the media that you are the World Champion...perhaps of the MRSRPSWCAMANOE league(Master Rosh Solo RPS World Championships Against Myself And No One Else) league

Well played in the first set of your match, Franklint. Watch out though... ScissorSista is always a dangerous opponent. Good luck in the rest of your best of three.

Well played in the first set of your match, Jef. You managed to hold out for a whole four throws.

Ah, well played R Cohrs.

In my head I thought that 5 Papers in a row may be one too many, but I was trying to play a defensive game and string you along (I enjoy letting my opponents hold out hope for victory for a bit) and, as you can see, this technique backfires from time to time. 

Altogether I wish you the best of strategy as you continue on to win this tournament.
