There was an amusing comment related to this over on the Metafilter thread on this earlier today which included this impressive detail:

Naturally, we did what any self-respecting half-in-the-bag Americans would do upon meeting so-called champions of the rock-paper-scissors arena on the streets of a foreign nation, and challenged them to a duel on the spot. We proceeded to go a spectacular 0-24 against our fellow countrymen, before realizing that maybe there's more to the metagame than we had previously considered.

Any competitive RoShamBo players here willing to share their metagame strategies?

Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
