What's his sleep cycle like?: It's super super important that you pick a flatmate who is awake at similar times to you. I had a flatmate once who went to bed every night at about 11 and got up at 7 to go to work. What a killjoy! He'd always be complaining that playing GSL on my speakers at 2 am was "too loud" and that being able to hear gunfire and lasers and explosions in his dreams was "waking him up." Make sure you consult with him ahead of time.


Use earphones? If you are nocturnal you have to respect those who aren't. You being up doesn't inconvenience anybody. If you play music, or GSL or whatever on your speakers when he's sleeping you're just a jackass.

And generally, women are cleaner than most guys. It's not always the case though, as my friends girlfriend (she's fat and ugly, so that might play a part) is so incredibly lazy when it comes to cleaning it's beginning to get on his nerves.

There are like 3-4 qualities that really really matter in a flatmate... when you cut away all the chaff like "is this person a chick" or "do his abs gleam like the polished bronze shields of a greek phalanx in the Mediterranean sun" it comes down to just this:
  • What's his sleep cycle like?: It's super super important that you pick a flatmate who is awake at similar times to you. I had a flatmate once who went to bed every night at about 11 and got up at 7 to go to work. What a killjoy! He'd always be complaining that playing GSL on my speakers at 2 am was "too loud" and that being able to hear gunfire and lasers and explosions in his dreams was "waking him up." Make sure you consult with him ahead of time.

  • Does he have a steady income?: It's vital your flatmate have a regular source of cash-- this might even be more important than the previous one. I can't tell you how vital it is that you ensure this is the case, and don't just overlook it because it's some hot chick. How else do you expect him to pitch in buying redbull and vodka for your all-night drunken laddering/2v2 sessions?

  • How neat/clean is he?: Part of being flatmates with someone is sharing common areas, such as bathroom, kitchen, and sometimes a living room if you have a nice flat. I've had flatmates across the range of cleanliness, from the total slobs who leave banana peels and half-eaten pizza ON THE FLOOR, to "neat freaks" who complain when I take said peels and pizza off the floor and put it on the couch.

  • Does he play Protoss?: You can't have a flatmate who plays Protoss, especially if you personally play Protoss. I mean, PvP? are you kidding me? No. And constantly grinding TvP or ZvP will drain you of the will to live, I'm sure. Plus, we all know that Protoss are balance whiners.

  • What league is he in?: Ideally you want a flatmate within 1 league of you. This means that if you're in Gold League, you want a flatmate who is between Silver and Platinum, or else you won't have good practice games.


Hope this helped.


Yeah I've already narrowed the applicants so that each of them reaches my standards of neatness, stable income and personality. I thought that those we're a given. What I'm mainly after is extra criteria to help narrow this down to 2.

And yeah I could never live with a fucking protoss.


It's funny coz you are protoss player yourself.

God damn hypocrite, zerg traitor and all that!

I kinda meant that to be a joke... I always use earphones <3 and I actually have a pretty normal sleep cycle since i'm working full time.

Sounds like you have it in the bag. I would personally meet with them prior like the others have said. It's really hard to gauge a person without meeting them and hell it could take a few months before you really get to see what they're all about.
