1 available room
4 contestants (2 females)
Battle to the death? Roll of a dice? Take the foreigner and get 'xxxxxx' 101 for free? Maybe one of the girls happens to be a qtpie? I've got no pics and it would be blatant as fuck if I rang them up and asked for a picture. Right?
I've only met one of them in person. Seemed chill as fuck, but he was way older than I.
What's your criteria?
edit--
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 them down.

ask each of them for a picture and a little about their interests or what they do etc... ask for some background imo. Then you wont just be 'guessing' you can pick someone that you think would work out the best.
|
arrange meet-up for them to check out the place, while you check them out.

I think this is a good idea if possible. Meeting them would definitely be a good thing as people tend to appear different on the interwebz.

Meet them all for a beer or something, find one that isnt vittu and np go from there! :D
|
Skype video interview is how my friends have done it if meeting irl won't work so well.
Make sure they are someone you can get along with personality wise. If they look like a complete slob or their rooms are a disaster and you're afraid that will creep into the rest of the flat, don't pick them.

Just hold a 4 Person FFA. whoever is the last one standing gets the room.

I did talk to each of them on the phone and asked them to describe themselves. Problem was that no matter how chill I was (tried to get them to relax~~), they all seemed pretty formal except for the foreign dude.

Obviously this would be ideal, but three of them aren't in town yet. I'd have to wait a week or probs even longer.

Yep, without meeting them you will definatly not make the best choice. Living with a Flatmate you don't like is not a good experience, so you shouldn't go the easy way and pick someone at random. You need to see them beforehand to get a good idea of how they behave.

My brow furrowed at your comment "what if one girl is really hot?" because it suggests to me that you want a female flatmate for the sole purpose of fucking her, or the hopes of starting a relationship with her. If that's not true, then I apologize.
Choose a flatmate based on the criteria that they can pay rent on time, and on a series of interview questions that you, yourself come up with to make sure they don't do shit you hate. Like Smoking, if you dislike that for example.
And on the girl part, general rule of thumb is don't shit where you eat. I.E. don't even think about fucking the girl because if she doesn't have the same expectations as you do, shit's gonna hit the fan, and it's going to hit the fan hard.
Your flatmate is there to share rent, that's it. If you want a girlfriend, go out and talk to girls. Do not try and fuck your flatmate.
However, I do suggest to pick a girl because she will have friends. And you can fuck the friend(s), and steer clear of your flatmate. She doesn't own her friends, and they have the freedom to choose on their own. If she says no, and her friend says yes, her opinion carries little worth.

Broodwar BO9 all races show match to decide winner.

Arrange a meet up and then pretend you are also a contestant then lead them somehow into a dungeon/maze/jungle. The person who survives the longest is your flatmate. Prepare some good 1 liners though like
"jeez a jungle, this is unexpected"
"wow if i only knew this before i went here i could have prepared my self"
this way you wont stand out. give us an update!

Not true, np. It was more the idea of having some eye candy around the house (and a social experiment). And I didn't mention this but there is already another flat mate here. So I thought I would spruce up the place with a female. 3 dudes in one apartment = sausage fest.

They're all smoke free and don't drink like normal Finnish people.

I'm not picking the flat mate for carnal delights but I'd be lying if I said that the thought of a hot girl having hot friends over at my place hadn't crossed my mind.

Meet up with each individual and just hang out with them and get to know them better. While you're out with them and exchanging information about each other keep in mind to yourself. "Is this the person I want to share the same flat with for X time?"
|
Meeting them, one-by-one, seems to be the best option you have.
If you don't have the time to do that, I'd ask them to take a picture of their current place/room, and whether they cook or not. You get the idea.

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.

Why would you want a mate with small breasts?

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.

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.

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.
