RPSLS

How to play RPSLS

You will need to go to the City Hall after completing Adventure #10.
There you will meet a bald hobo named Johnson. If you have enough
money he will play a game with you. Take notice to any hints he gives
you. For instance he might be planting his feet firmly on the ground
or wiggling his ears.
For each hint (there are five: Eyes, Ears, Ground, Tongue, and Thumb)
Johnson has a favorite move (Scissors, Spock, Rock, Lizard, and Paper
respectively). There are two popular strategies that take advantage of
this information. I use the first one, but there are some who have
been alternating between both.

Strategy 1
if Tongue, play Rock
if Ground, play Paper
if Thumb, play Scissors
if Ears, play Lizard
if Eyes, play Spock

Strategy 2
if Tongue, play Scissors
if Ground, play Spock
if Thumb, play Lizard
if Ears, play Paper
if Eyes, play Rock

Strategy 3 (from hb2 ID#6 aka Rhett)

tongue = rock
thumb = scissors
ear = paper
feet = spock
eyes = spock

If there is no hint, it is advisable to skip that game. You can do
this by hitting the "Forget this" or "Check the high scores" link and
then return.

Play it for the Money

Each game you place a bet with Johnson, and if you win the next game's
bet will increase by $50. If you lose the bet will go down $50.
Because of this, your total winnings will roughly be equal to [25*wins*
(wins+1) - 50*loses]. Playing RPSLS gets harder as you make more money
because Johnson's moves become more random and he pulls Goatse more
often. BTW, do not look up Goaste on the web.

Play it for the Bread

You will receive a Smart Bread when you win the following amounts:
$1200, $2450, $3700, $4950, $6200, $7450, $8700,.... or (1250*n-50)
for n>0. Each Smart Bread gives you 2 intel and 3 awake. Gaining 100
intel (50 smart bread) adds .015 to your base stat gain (equivalent to
gaining 5 or 6 levels) when you train at the university. Also, each 50
intel gives you 10% more exp per fight, and 10% more money for begging
and selling cans. (This means 10% of the base exp/money gain, not 10%
of your current exp/money gain).

I hope this guide will be of help to you all. I've used it for a
couple of days now and i'm getting 8-14 intel a day. not bad. benefits
are great too :D

Edit: It also might be good to start out with one strategy then after
a while, if losses start to become more frequent, you change to the
other one.
