	Straight Dope Staff Report: What's the origin of "Rock, Paper, Scissors"?
		Walker claims that the earliest known written record of the game is from around 200 BC in Japan, where the game was (and is) referred to as "Jan-Ken." I found the existence of the Japanese version of the game corroborated elsewhere, although I have yet to find any corroboration for the 200 BC claim.
		Walker goes on to suggest that the game migrated to Europe in or by the mid-1700s, where it for some reason came to be associated with one Jean Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau.
		It is believed that the game spread to the rest of Portugal in the 3rd century BC and to the rest of the Spanish peninsula over the next 50 years.

	USARPS League > Abridged History of Rock Paper Scissors
		Not just used for entertainment purposes, the game settled who had to forage for fruit, who got to sleep on the top branch and who got dibs on Lucy, the cave prostitute.
		Finally, in 105 AD, Chinese Emperor Ys'ai Lun sought a major change in the game, and paper was invented to add a new strategy to the sport which settled all disputes at the Imperial Court.
		Paper revolutionized China, but more importantly, it paved the way for the world's first game, more than six million years in the making, to be recognized as Rock Paper Scissors.

	RPS - 25
		I will be the first to admit that this game is just too complicated and you might get lost unless you really squint.
		By playing this game you agree not to hold me responsible for blindness, seizures, or let's face it, madness.
		Remember the "NUKE-COCKROACH-FOOT" game from "That '70s Show?" Well, it's in here somewhere, where their "foot" symbol is now simply MAN or WOMAN here.

	GameSpy's Game of the Year 2006
		Instead, we found that of all of the games that embody the titular character of one of our favorite stupid movies, none did better at the PS3 launch than the butt of countless jokes on gaming message boards.
		The scenery looks exceptional, and Game Republic should be praised for their ability to display the sorts of epic battles that fifty-six (and counting) Dynasty Warriors games are still working to achieve.
		The lack of component cables was a Rochambeau for most, but since we already had them for PS2, the blow wasn't as bad.

		heir fears of republican France being now done away, they are directed to republican America, and they are playing the same game for dis-organization here, which they played in your country.
		The Marats, the Dantons and Robespierres of Massachusetts are in the same pay, under the same orders, and making the same efforts to anarchise us, that their prototypes in France did there.
		The old Count Rochambeau gave me also his memoire of the operations at York, which is gone in the same way, and I have no means of applying to his family for it.

		Even though the Queen’s Rangers hussars apparently were very adept at using their pistols and then falling on opponents with their swords (in true hussar style), this might be a bit fiddly, so either ignore this, or replicate it on a “group” level, if you prefer.
		Both sides had a mix of rifles and muskets and for the purposes of this game the only real significance between these is in rate of fire, since the Rebel riflemen appear to have fought primarily as formed units, rather than individuals.
		There is also some evidence that German rifles were slightly easier (and therefore quicker) to load, so rule systems should be amended to reflect this – a rate of fire ratio of 5:3:2 (muskets:jager rifles:hunting rifles) would seem to reflect these differences.
