Rock-Paper-Scissors is arguably the most universally recognized binary decision-making game in human history. Its transition into a stripping variant (Strip RPS) introduces high-stakes psychological vulnerability, transforming a game of pure chance into an exercise in exposure and risk assessment.
The "Ghost Edition" (GE) modifier represents a radical evolution of this format. In tabletop and parlor gaming, a "ghost" mechanic typically implies one of three things: the presence of a non-corporeal player, the penalty of being functionally "dead" (unable to act) for a set duration, or the concept of playing from a state of absence. SRPS:GE integrates these concepts, creating a game where physical nakedness is mirrored by mechanical invisibility or penalized non-participation. This paper serves as the definitive foundational text on SRPS:GE, outlining its rules, psychological underpinnings, and sociological implications.
For the uninitiated, here is the definitive rule set for Strip Rock-Paper-Scissors – Ghost Edition – Final Chapter as per the official 1.0 patch notes:

Abstract This paper explores the emerging adult parlor game variant Strip Rock-Paper-Scissors: Ghost Edition (SRPS:GE). By extrapolating the traditional zero-sum mechanics of Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) into a gamified shedding of physical garments and the introduction of "ghost" mechanics—representing the absence of a player, a loss of a turn, or a metaphysical penalty—SRPS:GE creates a unique framework. This paper deconstructs the game’s mechanics, analyzes the psychological impact of synchronous vulnerability, and examines the "Ghost Edition" as a post-modern commentary on presence, absence, and consent within competitive play.
Mathematically, the presence of a Ghost alters the probability pool for active players. Because the Ghost's wins are nullified, the Ghost effectively becomes a "null" variable. However, psychologically, active players often forget the Ghost's null-status, leading to paranoid decision-making. An active player may change their throw to counter a Ghost, inadvertently losing to another active player. The Ghost, therefore, acts as an entropy engine, disrupting rational play.
