What it does
Settle it the old way. Challenge another player to Rock Paper Scissors right in the game: a painted table in the middle of the screen, both your faces in gold rings, a countdown, the picks shaken and laid on the table, and your characters bowing, pointing, cheering or crying in the world.
- Challenge anyone of your faction with
/rps Name,/rpson your target, or from the right-click menu of a player. They get 30 seconds to accept. - Best of 1, 3 or 5 (best of 3 by default). Each round you have 10 seconds to pick; a draw is played again.
- Murloc mode adds Murloc and Gnome: five picks, each beats two and loses to two.
- Nobody can cheat. Picks are sealed before either is shown, so nobody can wait for yours and answer with the winning one.
- Emotes in the world: your character bows when a game starts, points when the picks land, and cheers or cries at the end.
/rps emotes offturns them off. - Your record against everyone you played: matches, rounds, your favourite pick. In a party or raid the group sees who won.
- A player without the addon? A "Send info" button whispers them where to get it, only when you click it.
- No gold stakes, nothing to buy: just for fun.
Both players need the addon. It works across the same realm and faction (it uses addon whispers).
How to use it
- Target a player and type
/rps, or/rps Name. - When they accept, click your pick before the timer runs out.
- Click the addon's icon (the game's addon menu or Forever Taskbar), or type
/rps stats, for your record and the settings.

Changelog
0.2.0 current
Features
- See who plays. When you target a player of your faction, or your party or raid changes, the addon quietly asks whether they have it; players who do get a "Rock Paper Scissors" line in their tooltip ("in a game" while they play), and the right-click menu entry says "(plays)", "(in a game)" or "(no addon?)". It never asks in combat and keeps to a small budget.
- Practice against Foxie, the fox from the Forever Companion painting, when nobody is around:
/rps practice(oreasy/hard,bo1/bo3/bo5,murloc) or the Easy and Hard buttons in the stats window. Easy picks at random; Hard learns what you tend to pick and plays what beats it. Foxie seals its picks like a player, practice games count apart from your record and show nobody anything, and a real challenge ends practice.
Bug fixes
- Players with a surname ("Firstname Surname" on the official Forever servers) can be challenged: from the target, the right-click menu or
/rps Thrall Doomhammer bo3, and a first name alone is completed from players near you. Records kept under the first name move to the full name. Games with 0.1.0 still work for names without a surname.
0.1.0
Features
- A new addon, Forever Rock Paper Scissors. Challenge a player of your faction with
/rps Name(or/rps Name bo5) or from the right-click menu of a player; they get 30 seconds to accept. Each round you have 10 seconds to pick, a draw is played again, and the series is best of 1, 3 or 5 (best of 3 by default). Picks are sealed before they are shown, so nobody can wait and answer with the winning one. Murloc mode (/rps mode murloc) adds Murloc and Gnome: five picks, each beats two and loses to two. The game is a scene on a painted table in the middle of a dimmed screen: both players' faces in gold rings, Tomáš's painted picks, a countdown, the picks shaken then laid on the table, sounds. Your character bows when a game starts, points when the picks land and cheers or cries at the end (/rps emotes offturns that off). In a party or raid the group sees who won./rps statsor a click on the addon's icon (the game's addon menu, ForeverTaskbar) shows your record against everyone you played, the settings (dropdowns for the series length and the mode) and the Forever Addons Discord link; during a game the icon brings the game back. When the other player has no addon, a "Send info" button whispers them where to get it, only when you click it. No gold stakes.
