1 | ''Rock, Paper, Anything'' is a PlayByPostGame hosted on the Minecraft Forums. The game is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: you can name anything, as long as you describe how it beats the previous object. However, over time, a small subplot was created, involving multiple universes and a reset button. The plot is not the main focus of the game though, so anyone can join without looking too much in the thread. |

5 | !! Rock, Paper, Anything contains examples of: |
6 | %%* AnvilOnHead: Used once to counter luddites. |
7 | * ApocalypseHow: When in doubt, players often use nukes, trans-dimensional rifts, and concepts in and of themselves. This often causes Class X-4 Universal Destruction. |
8 | * CerebusSyndrome: Downplayed, then subverted. The game started from silly to having a small subplot, but then a ResetButton is used, and the universe shenanigans is completely ignored thereafter. |
9 | %%* GatlingGood: A Gatling gun has been used. |
10 | %%* KillItWithFire: Quoting a player: "Fire seems to be a popular answer." |
11 | %%* MacrossMissileMassacre: "Rapid fire [=MIRVs=] outbombs [[NukeEm Tsar Bomb]]." |
12 | %%* NukeEm: Nukes have been used quite a bit. When the ''type'' of nuke is named, it's usually a [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Tsar Bomba.]] |
13 | %%* ResetButton: A literal one is used to cancel the universe shenanigans started by another player. |
14 | %%* RockPaperScissors: And up to eleven at that. |
15 | * RunningGag: |
16 | ** Tombstone(the battlebot, not the gravestone) being used, before being promptly destroyed by a mine. This is subverted the fourth time though, with water being used to erode it instead. |
17 | ** Also, there's a player [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer using the oh-so-basic rock, paper, or scissors for everything.]] |
18 | * SerialEscalation: Zigzagged; usually, there will be a stream of increasingly complicated objects...which is countered by an absolutely mundane object, and the cycle starts anew. |
19 | %%* StuffBlowingUp: Explosives are used ''very'' frequently. |
20 | * TankGoodness: An M4 Sherman was used to [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill counter an ant]], which is quickly dispatched by a Challenger Battle Tank. |
21 | * WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: There's a player that uses the basic rock, paper, or scissors for everything. Another player has also taken a liking to using the Extra-Universal Traveler. |
