[edit] Mature Use of Janken

As an American who lived in Japan for several months, I was surprised to see how many decisions are made by this method from adults. Not that this is a verifiable "source" worthy for addition to an article, but just something I noticed. It led to a joke about the Japanese government secretly making all decisions by Janken. 165.190.89.145 03:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

Can someone give me a good reason why I shouldn't post {{merge}} for Rock Paper Scissors? I mean, the Japanese significance of the game is interesting and all (and could be covered in a merged article), but essentially they're the same game, yes? - PhilipR 03:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

First of all, I would say that the Rock Paper Scissors article is already pretty long, and adding more material from this article might make it too long. Plus I think Janken deserves an article in its own right because of its significance in Japanese culture. Bobo12345 07:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
