Why RPS Should Stay a Two-Player Game (Minor Project 3 Option 4)
Some people consider Rock, Paper, Scissors as a possible multi-player game, meaning more than two players. I don't believe that this is a good idea, because it would completely ruin the game. The game has three possible symbols that each player can throw, with one beating another and losing to the other. It's a perfect combat triangle, and adding another player would throw the entire game out of the loop. For example, if there was a 3 player game of RPS going on, and two people throw the same symbol, what happens? In a 2 player game, it would be a draw, but with a third player there are more possibilities. With more than two people, there can never be one solid loser and one solid winner each round. The game would simply create too much complication with more than two players.
