The Paper Cut Posse Lose Two Well-Liked Players to Hated Gaithersburg, MD!

Just a month after the 2008 PBRPRPSCLCS wrapped up, and The Paper Cut Posse  are already down 2 players heading into 2009.  Gone are J. Martin Hill (who also ran the NJ RPS Championship in 2005 and 2006 and has competed in 3 World Championships) and Harper Lee, both formerly of the now-defunct Ernie Vanderbilt College of Games and Wagers, LLC. 

They take their combined 2008 record of 12-23 (inc. CL Championships) with them down to Gaithersburg MD, which is Philadelphia’s long-standing RPS arch-nemisis after having taken the only two PBR RPS Keystone Classic titles back down South with them(Gaithersburg resident Martin Maier in 2005 and Megan Powers in 2006).

The PBRPRPSCLCS wish the best to J. Martin Hill and Harper Lee in their new surroundings, even if those surroundings are Gaithersburg, MD.  Hopefully the new transplants will start up a tournament that players from Philadelphia will go in and win every year.  Stupid Gaithersburg.

Anyway, maybe we’ll catch up with them both sometime in the forthcoming Where Are They Now section of the site.

   [...] Hey – remember when the Paper Cut Posse (now Spicy Brown) lost two of their players to Gaithersburg, Maryland?  You know, the same Gaithersburg that came up and won both Pabst Blue Riboon Rock Paper Scissors Keystone Classics right here in Philadelphia?  Yeah, well J. Martin Hill came back from Gaithersburg for the Emergency April tournament, brought some friends and you can guess what happened from there.  Sarah Jane (above) tamed the Paper Tiger in the finals and took home the title on the night.  Sarah Jane may actually be from Philadelphia, but it still feels like the score is now 3-0 Gaithersburg.  Stupid Gaithersburg.

   [...] Remember back after the 2008 Championship, when J. Martin Hill and Harper Lee went down to live in, of all places, Gaithersburg Maryland?  Well, good news (especially for them)!  Those two homegrown talents (who are now Mr. J. Martin Hill & Mrs. Harper Lee) have returned to the Philly area and will be back to competing during the 2010 season.  [...]
