Is there a lizard/Spock add-on yet?

Awesome cool glove. I want one. Any kits available?

I'd bet this is pretty susceptible to data poisoning, though. Open your first 200 games with scissor and you can probably win the next 50 opening games using paper.

you are still loosing 200-50 :-).

I'll guess in the long run the only sound strategy is to be totally random and that will get you only 50% of wins.

no, in the long run you are playing against a known algorithm (assuming you've read the code), and so:

- in the case that it is a deterministic algorithm you should be able to win every hand

- in the case that the algorithm employs randomness then you should be able to win more than 50% of the time (unless the algorithm used is to employ completely random play in which case no matter what you play you will win exactly 50% of the time)
