Do you also write letters to people and sign them with, instead of your name, a "Flame on! :)" at the end?

Just so you know, not everyone who replies to you or even disagrees is flaming.

I just worry because I would hate for this to become such a habit to you that when you make a statement in real life you'd say "Flame on!" and then tilt your head to an extreme sideways angle and smile.

I'm trying to help.

I thought Kirk fought the lizard?

And yes, he shot him in the end with a hand cannon...

Flame on!

I almost bought once a Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock t-shirt, but I cancelled the order 'cos I wouldn't dare to wear it in public anyways :) but yep, Sheldon rocks.

And for "Kirk fought the lizard" I'd love to see when you say a Gorn "lizard" to his face :)

Edit: damn, between the smileys I forgot to add, DCUO is the most obvious example for rock paper scissors (not a personal experience since I don't pvp, just familiar with the system). It's exactly the setup you wrote in OP.

I think in some ways, most class systems both PVE and PVP have some basis in this.  If there was no weakness or strength related to combat with other classes, then all classes would be just about identical.

The number of emails i have to write daily is disproportional to the number of posts i write here.

So, bad for you, good for me, another one caught :)

I have spent a little time playing WoT, casually; which, by the by, I think deserves its plaudits.  It has a scissor, paper, stone set up.  Why don't more MMO's do this, it (IMO) would make pvp far more interesting.  For example, tank kills mage, mage kills rogue, rogue kills tank. 

Does anyone know of any games with this setup?

Warhammer used to have that. Don't know if it does anymore.

And it's called Rock, Paper, Scissors.

depends of the country, how the words mostly fits

Unfortunately, the rock paper scissors concept really works only up to a certain complexity of the game, both how the game combat is "physically" engaging ("skill based gameplay") and in terms of content diversity.

If the game is too much skill based, the pvp jocks will be angry (however it may be in reality) because they KNOW that they are better than YOU, they blame the system for not giving the ANY chance of winning.

On the opposite side, the pve nerds will be unhappy if they select a character that is good in the system, but useless in parts of the pve game, consequently potentionally creating a situation when there is no rock and scissors rule supreme, this problem increases exponentially with how many "items" we add to the system (in case we add lizard and Spock, "paper disproves Spock" :) ) and the game (world pve, small scale pve, large scale pve....) .

In the end devs resort to balancing pvp with simple asumptions, which may turn out good or bad.

One of the most annoying assumptions is that if noone makes a mistake, the pvp match goes on forever.

Flame on!

I knew somebody was bound to bring up Rock, Paper, Scissor, Lizard, Spock.

Ah so does that mean you write many more emails than posts here, or many more posts here than emails?

In either event, unless you are an arsonist whose name is :) I might suggest trying something with a little more quality.  Such as finishing the end of a post with actual content.

Much more emails.

Anyways, as Bernard Woolley would put it: "Your request is under consideration."

Flame on!

I prefer chainsaw, bowling ball, and apple.

I think every class should have both strengths and weaknesses. They should balance and nothing should be preordaned. A fighter should not always kill a mage and vice versa.
