Guys, quick q here. Someone throws a solid vertical throw, like a karate chop with all fingers connected. What is that, paper or scissors, or ambiguous and depends on person/trust?

Vertical paper. Disqualified in tournament play though depending on the place you may get one warning.

Is it OK for cops to run through red lights just for the heck of it?

It's paper/scissors. If you play rock or scissors, he loses. If you play paper it's a tie.

I insist that its paper.

How does the person react to this? Act like it was a brainfart? Try to screw you by saying it is paper or scissors to whatever is their benefit?

Sidetrack:
A friend of mine came up with a weighted rock paper scissors. If you win w/ rock, you get 5 points. If you win w/ paper, you get 2 points. If you win w/ scissors, you get 3 points. Play to 15. It just increases the levels of mind games. Its awesome.

I think they should just lose for sucking so much.

what are you talking about? it's not scissors AT ALL and the orientation doesn't change that.

paper if you feel generous, but it's a disqual. never scissors. if he claims scissors it's 100% a disqual.

what if he like opens his fingers slightly between the middle finger and ring finger, like he's doing a penguin impersonation

I'm in the WTF how is this even an angle shoot camp.

If it's 'because he can see what you do and quickly curl up his fingers to make scissors', can't he do the same thing if his hand is horizontal? Throw rock and then quickly extend two fingers?

I mean, I don't see how this is any more of an angle shoot than pretty much any effort to change your throw at the last moment.
