Rock-Paper-Scissors 101

I've covered 25-symbol rock-paper-scissors in the past, but now the same author has constructed a 101-symbol version. Of course, it doesn't take long to realize that your odds of winning and losing are exactly the same as in the traditional form: Each symbol loses to half the remaining symbols and beats the other half. The creativity comes from the verbalization of the victory relationships—Priest Excommunicates Devil, for instance—and the hand symbols one has to memorize. But even the author admits that no one would want to play this version.
