Yes, I understand your complaints. Anyway, my pointer to Roshambo was for letting people discover useful material, not for advertising the competition. You can see that somewhere else in this thread people are "rediscovering the wheel". For example sicilian reasoning (using the usual decision algoritm and then make the opposite) or return to random play when losing to "cut the loss". These and a lot of other ideas are present inside the roshambo bots of various competition (a lot of which I think are freely available on the website) and I hope that they will be useful for the discussion evolvin about "guessing competition".
