Rock Paper Scissors

A two-player game where you challenge another community member to a classic game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Overview

The RPS game allows community members to challenge each other directly. When you start a game:

1. The game begins immediately (no acceptance required)
2. Both players receive a DM asking for their choice
3. Players have 2 minutes to reply with their choice
4. The winner is announced in the group where the game started
5. If there’s a tie, an automatic rematch begins

Commands

!rps @player

Challenge a specific player to a game.

Usage:

!rps @Alice

The game starts immediately. Both you and @Alice will receive DMs to make your choice.

---

!rps -r / !rps --random

Challenge a random recently active user from the group.

Usage:

!rps -r
!rps --random

The bot selects a random opponent from users who have been active in the last 30 minutes.

---

!rps quit

Quit your current game. The other player wins by forfeit.

Usage:

!rps quit

Note: Quitting too frequently triggers a spam delay (2 quits in 30 minutes = 10 minute cooldown).

How to Play

Making Your Choice

After a game starts, you’ll receive a DM from the bot asking for your choice. Reply with:

Paper	paper, p, P, PAPER

Choices are case-insensitive - both rock and ROCK work.
