theCryptoZoo

I Leaned back in my Herman Miller office chair stairing at the computer screen, disgusted with what I was seeing. No it wasn't one of those forwarded email usually circulated, the somewhat funny SPAM messages with subjects like "Ghetto Prom Photos," or the "Paris Hilton like you've Only seen Twice" the one where she forgets the cardinal rule to always wear clean underwear, um always wear underwear.. What had caught my eyes attention was theCryptoZoo!

Here is the Earth-swallowing 25-gesture game. This is it... You will notice that there is some branching going on with the arrows in the diagram. Trust me, you wouldn't be able to even get close to reading it otherwise. Thick lines branch out to thinner ones, and I've had to actually go around the outside of the circle for the smaller paths. I will be the first to admit that this game is just too complicated and you might get lost unless you really squint. By playing this game you agree not to hold me responsible for blindness, seizures, or let's face it, madness.

And now, even worse news: after days and days struggling to come up with a web of valid logic, one which has a potential of over 15.5 OCTILLION layouts (around 350,000 times more complex than a Rubik's Cube!), and which would include all 300 outcomes (non-tie) in a graphically pleasing cyclical layout.

Anyway, many of the ten new symbols are taken from popular sources. Remember the "NUKE-COCKROACH-FOOT" game from "That '70s Show?" Well, it's in here somewhere, where their "foot" symbol is now simply MAN or WOMAN here. I even added the much-maligned DYNAMITE gesture. So now you can blow up ROCK and SCISSORS all you like, as long as you don't mind being ENCASED by PAPER, and not being able to "cut wick of" SCISSORS as you might have elsewhere. Also, I stuck in a claw-gestured MONKEY just for fun (and poop flinging)!

All of these hijinx don't even include the SUN and the MOON, and AXE and BOWL . Each gesture beats out twelve gestures, and is beaten by the remaining twelve. And with that, there is now only a 4% chance of a tie, making this the ultimate decision-making game! Well, aside from flipping a coin, I guess.

Check it!
