    I am jumping the gun and posting this March PIF month PIF early; however, I wasn't sure if I would get it out tomorrow and it is technically March in some parts of the world.

    OK, rather than making many small PIFs this year, I decided to do one big PIF. Did you know that all of the following can fit in a single Small Flat Rate box?
    • A L6 Razor
    • A travel Tech razor
    • A Weishi razor
    • A Shea Moisture Shave brush
    • A generic boar brush
    • A Palmolive shave stick
    • A tube of Dalan D’men sensitive cream
    • A tube of Nuka with menthol cream
    • A pack of Astra blades
    • A pack of Ladas blades
    • A pack of Shark blades
    • A pack of Rapira blades
    • A pack of Red Personna blades
    • A pack of Voskhod blades
    • A pack of Dorco ST 301 blades
    Nope, I didn’t either. But it does fit.. just barely.
    So, how do you get in on this PIF? Why by taking part in a Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock tournament of course

    What? Never heard of RPSLS? Here is a Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock

    If you want to get in on the game, post to this thread and include the text "I Want to Play" by 11:59 PM EST on March 7th. I will cover the cost of CONUS shipping. However if there are other members who want to join in, they would have to pay the extra shipping costs to send the package priority international.

    After tournament registration closes at 11:59 PM EST on March 7th, I will then set up a random single elimination tournament of play.

    For each round, you will have 24 hours from the start of the round to PM me your move (rock, paper, scissors, lizard, or Spock). Your opponent will also PM me a move. The winner advances. You must PM me within the time limit for each round (24 hours). If you do not PM me before the time limit is up, then you lose your match.

    This is a winner takes all tournament.

    I realized that we will want to add a few more things to the tournament play. There is a 20% chance of a tie. To reduce the chance of a tie, I am going to make it a best of 3 competition. So when you place you move, you will tell me three at once. . If there is a tie, then whoever wins the first non-tie wins. If all three tie (0.8 percent chance but it can happen), then I will let random.org chose the winner.
