It was fun imagining all the animals running through the maze. :) Now on to the third challenge.

...at a vegetarian restaurant, nevertheless. Animals are not his forté.

The monkey and the pink cat will experience some probing, I guess... :P

The monkey will get a good spanking and I´ll rub that pink... er, forget it.

I'm not a pink cat, I'm a wildcat and anyone who thinks about petting me in jail will be in trouble.

The dog found this challenge fun with the other animals and looks forward to the next challenge. :)

I`m in and also scratching my head at chapter 1`s riddle...

Edit: Nevermind, Chapter 1 ended already, but it was fun trying to decrypt it :) All the best to all the other participants!

Chapter #3 - The tournament

Check this https://imgur.com/EEkmHce or read below.

Jailed animals wake up after some nasty experiences, they are surrounded by a purple smoke. You aren't controlling all of your movements: you are some kind of Alienmals.

After a walk in a very long tunnel (chapter #2), animals arrive around a gigantic ring. You can see and hear lots of aliens cheering, and what seems to be, singing. Then, an announcer shouts: "WELCOME TO THE ROCK PAPER SCISSORS TOURNAMENT!".

*** Information ***
This chapter is a Random/Luck/Stats/Strategy minigame. Check the tournament board here https://imgur.com/nIxHP2f

*** The rules ***
- It is a tournament of Rock Paper Scissors. Win each of your battles to win the tournament and escape the spaceship
- A battle consists of three "Rock Paper Scissors" (R P S) games between two creatures
- R beats S, S beats P, P beats R
- Alienmals and animals need to choose FOUR combinaisons of Rock Paper Scissors for the games
- First combinaison will be used for the first two battles
- Second combinaison will be used in case of a tie
- Third combinaison will be used during the semi-final battle
- Fourth combinaison will be used during the final battle
- A combinaison is composed by three actions (R P S) but you can't use more than 2 of each kind
- Two aliens take part in the tournaments, there are limited to Rock and Scissors
- About Alienmals, I will throw a 8-dice check before each battle. On "1", Aliens will take control of your body and make the combinaison choice for that battle

*** Additional info ***
- Example of combinaison:
the following is valid R R P
the following is valid S R P
the following is NOT valid R R R

*** What you need to do ***
- Send me ON THE GOG CHAT ONLY your four combinaisons

OK, this is "a little" more complicated than before so I have a few questions:

1. Is "(RRP) (SRP) (PRS) (PSS)" a correct example of "chat message" you are expecting from us?

2. What will happen if there is still a tie after use of 2nd combination?

3. What will happen if there was a tie with 3rd combination in semi-final battle (or 4th combination in final one)?

Ah, so the order of these combinations confused me - I thought that 2nd combination would be used only for ties in first two battles. It would be easier to set combinations like "(1st/2nd battle) (semi-final) (final) (tie)", but now I understand. :D

I will have to look at this latter to see if I can figure this out. But a quick question that might also help me figure this out...
What strategy? What "stats"? Since all are picked at once, it seems like pure luck. Unlike regular RPS where there is strategy, the psychology of what someone is picking next based on what they picked previously. Isn't this exactly the same as rolling dice to decide who wins? Is there something I am missing here?

Are we picking all the RPS choices at once for the whole tournament like we did one choice for the whole maze?

Is there only one person who gets a game in this, the winner? And then this entire give away is over?

Strategy: it might be based on psycology yes, I can't give more expplanation here. I don't think it's pure luck, but I might be wrong.

Yes send me your 4 combinaisons on GOG Chat at once before the dead line of the 26th of December 16:00 EST.

You will see at the end ;-) After that chapter the giveaway will be over.
