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.
