The following text is from an actual site on the proper playing and etiquette of Rock paper Scissors. To see it all,

From the RPS website:
“Mystical” Schools
Finally,
it bears mentioning that there are also “Mystical Schools” of RPS. These instruct students to select their throw
based on some inner force, higher power, or telepathic premonition. Such approaches vary so widely among themselves and results
are so mixed (or mixed-up!) that there is no point in trying to catalogue or categorize them. Nevertheless, the well-trained
RPS player will be aware that these schools exist and know their basic tenets.
Cloaking
“Cloaking” is the term used for delaying the unveiling
of the throw. Put a little more simply, “Cloaking” is waiting until the last possible second to throw Paper or
Scissors. Some players will watch your hands for an indication of which throw you are about to use. By not moving your fingers
until the last moment, you can fool such a player into thinking you are throwing Rock. Since a hand-watcher will respond to
a well-executed cloak with paper, cloaking Scissors is generally more useful than cloaking Paper.
The Role of a Trainer
Some players choose to retain the
services of a personal trainer. Experienced and talented trainers can be invaluable in building an RPS career, but beware
of charlatans. There are many “trainers” available for hire who have never been either a competitor or referee
and have no qualifications to speak of. Before you sign a contract, find out who you’re dealing with.
There you have it folks, if you want to be on top of the
RPS world (all of three people) you need to foloow these steps. Right...And in case you haven't figured it out, RPS stands
for Rocks-Paper-Scissors
