After about an hour of talk and answering a lot of questions, they decided to start the janken game. These are a common and fun part of anime, game, and idol events and such, where the guests bring prizes with them to give away to winners who are determined by a big game of rock paper scissors - everyone who wants to try for the prize raises their hands, the guest will stand up front and call jan-ken-pon, then show their hand. Those with a losing hand have to lower their arms (honor system), and this repeats until one or however many winners are left.

Sometimes at events, they're really strict and you even can't continue if you tie, but the InnoGrey guys, proving again how awesome they are, decided that both winners and people who tied could move on. I'm not bad at janken but I was sure happy to have my odds raised 33%; you'd better believe I wanted those fucking posters.

Each company brought stuff to give away, so Sugina got up to display InnoGrey's first: two big posters, with the (stunning) promo art of Yukino and Satsuki, signed by Sara Ayumi and Mahiru fucking Notsuki (there were gasps of amazement and delight all over the room when he unrolled that one). Furthermore, they decided that rather than giving them away separately, they would give both posters to one winner. Now comes the part that I still can't quite believe happened.

I raised my hand with everyone else, Sugina called jan-ken-pon... and I tie, same hand (I think rock) as him.

Second round, I tie again, and like 4/5 of the remaining people get taken out.

Third round, I manage ANOTHER tie; all the hands I can see go down, and there's a soft murmur of "ooooohhhh" in the room; looking behind me, it's now down to me and only one other guy.

Fourth round comes, and all three of us play rock, so we need a tiebreaker.

Fifth round. Sugina plays paper. I play scissors for the first time. Other guy... plays rock.
