Rock, Paper, Scissors. by Melancholy

When there's a problem with the royal sisters, somepony usually has to explain it to The Captain of the guard, Shining Armour.

How in Equestria do they decide which pony gets to take on this unenviable duty?

It's an ancient art, passed down from the senior ranks, taking years to master. Something no normal pony could ever hope to match and only the extraordinary ponies of the royal guard could possibly hope to pull off with rigour and discipline.

Why they play Rock Paper Scissors of course.

Inspired by a moment from my other story, Collars and Cuffs Tailoring.

Rock, Paper, Scissors is a lot harder when you've only got hooves! Shining Armor's move was awfully predictable, though.

The Most Revered Art of Passing the Buck.

An ancient and most noble tradition somewhat related to Ancient Chineighs Proverb, "Shit rolls downhill."

... Please, for the love of all that is Equestrian, someone illustrate a technical manual detailing all possible moves in Guard's Rock, Paper, Scissors (with the obvious exception of legendary moves like the one hoofed scissors).

This was glorious - and the illustrated manual would be even more so.
