Well, on your second issue of "YOU KNOW" there seem to be two schools of thought.
1- Because RPS is more of a mental game than a phsyical one, there are those who believe that "taking care of yourself" as much as you can in order to relax (perhaps this is why sperm banks are often within walking distance of many matches??)
2 - Others believe abstenation gives them the competitive edge they need.
I have tried both methods and thought that abstaining was a little bit better judging by the detailed records I keep on my win-loss vs. "pull" ratios. My trouble came in the quarter final open round of the West Regional Congresional Contest when I was playing Jasime Mead (Author of the Grrl's Guide to RPS), well I had been abstaining for a least two weeks prior and well...if any of you have met Jasime you will know that she uses her female charms in any way she can. Not only did this cause my to lose my edge and the game, it also gave me my nickname
