So I'm moving into a house with three other people. Two of the rooms are large, one with a full bath, the other two are smaller.

A good ol' Ro Sham Bo deathmatch would be the most fair to determine who gets the rooms.

Anyone have any good Ro Sham Bo strategies? I'm inclined to say that most people throw out Rock first... to which I would throw out Paper as my first move. But then again, what if my opponents know that? Then they might throw out Scissors which would in fact nullify my throw of Paper...

The tension mounts...it will all be decided this weekend...

That would be a great move. But we need his share of the rent.

And he's already defeated my Spaniard.

Maybe you need the Brute Squad?... I don't know I'm just guessing now!

I would think the size rooms should be based upon rent. Bigger room with bathroom pays a larger percentage of the rent and base the percentage of the rent on square footage. Only bedrooms and bathrooms should be calculated. Neutral areas like the living room and kitchen should not be added in.

The only way to REALLY do Ro Sham Bo is to do it VERY fast and as a first to 5 or first to 10. One throw is useless... Wen you do it fast it becomes a psychological game.

Lisa: Old predictable Bart....always picks Rock.

Bart: Good ole' Rock...nothing beats Rock.

You are talking to the Rock Paper Sicsors KING!!! Go at least best of three...that always lets me figure out my opponent's logic. I once beat my roommate 12 times in a row. the last 7 times we threw the EXACT SAME HAND. I threw paper..he threw rock...7 times in a row. He was always a cocky "Psychology" major. I got in his head.

Oh for sure best of three at least. I wonder if it would be a good idea to form some sort of ambiguous fist that resembles a rock, paper, and scissor. That way, I can throw that fist, and it will work against anything my opponent throws.
