Those of you that weren't following what's going on in the chat room might have been taken by surprise by a recent avalanche of Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock posts.

This is how it started:

OK, weekend challenge.... we all solve the Rock Paper Scissors Lizzard Spock problem with our 'favourite' language, and we all have to post a question here with our solution to be reviewed.

If this is a good idea, then I think we have something like an amazing idea waiting to be exploited: I have created a chatroom dedicated to the Weekend CR Challenge; it makes a place dedicated to the discussions about the weekly challenge.

The per-round output zombie-hunting mission is slowing down; until Winter Bash 2013 starts, there's still a couple of weeks. Just because it's fun, I suggest we create a weekend-challenge tag that people could follow (or ignore), and for the next couple weeks, we decide on a small (tiny!) project to submit review requests for.

For each challenge we can create chatroom events, which I believe are visible SE-wide, and the tag will show up on the CR newsletter if these questions make it to the week's top questions.

Other pros? Cons? Ideas for the next challenge?
