Posted: LMAO.....ya i was quite amused by that too. though i had to choose the wrong move once just to see what happened.
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Well, shall we go? Yes, let's go. [They do not move.]

Posted: I don't know how many people here went to the Millenium Dome's Exhibition in 2000, it was mostly crap, but I got in for free towards the end of 2000, because my then girlfriend's colleague's boyfriend was working there (yeah, yeah, I know, tenuous ). It was rather fun for us to go round with him, because his job was to test the interactive bits of the exhibition and report where things needed to be fixed. This meant that we got to jump some queues and go into bits that were closed that day.
One of the most impressive things was this dark room with a set of benches spread into 2 halves with an aisle down the middle. Each person got a stick with a red end and a green end. You then held it up in the air with one end upwards, and a couple of low-intensity cameras at the back would capture the image. Thw whole system was tied to a computer that could tell what colour stick was being held up at what position.
The game was then to play pong, with the two halves each controlling one bat. IIRC, red was up, and green down, but that's not important. Your bat went whichever way the majority of sticks were pointing, and the speed with which it moved was proportional to that majority. With two on each team, strategy was relatively easy (especially when we did it couple against couple), but I would have been interested to see the social dynamics of a bunch of random members of the public.
Overcompensation in this type of system is almost inevitable while people act as individuals. I don't know what the results were. Even though we all knew each other, and could whisper strategy, within the teams, it still wasn't easy to coordinate.
Having said that, I've jammed with people, and I probably have occasionally echoed what spinning moves people are doing, so it must be possible to have the right kind of rapport to play that kind of game.
