I’m now curious to know where you’re from, if you’re willing to share. I’ve always known the game as rock, paper, scissors. I’m in the UK, and it seems like the rest of the Anglosphere uses the same three options but sometimes in a different order, like scissors, paper, rock or something. What’s the gesture you make for “stick”?
I like to think it’s just the same logic as that old stick vs 1,000 US marines post. Scissors cut the stick in half? Now you have two sticks. Stick always wins.
Anyway it’s not like paper beats rock has a whole lot of reasoning behind it
okay sure, but that wins you the round if you picked paper and I picked rock? That’s paper beating rock. That it does this by “covering” the rock doesn’t really clear anything up
I always thought it was an unspoken game of stick, paper, scissors to see who gets to attack first

Also, how does a stick break scissors?

This is why I prefer Ninja-Hunter-Bear
Ninja beats hunter
Hunter beats bear
Bear beats ninja
There’s full body actions that go with it, but this is text.
I’ve never heard of it either. I’m no swordsman. But Mulan is definitely throwing Stick.
Paper doesn’t beat rock. Paper covers rock.

Eventually. But only if they’re really shoddily made scissors.
Really big stick
I always imagined the rock makes the scissors blunt. That would work for a stick too.
