The Roommate Agreement Generator
Every shared household already has an agreement. Nobody wrote it down, nobody signed it, and everybody knows exactly what it says. Six questions about how yours actually runs, and the page drafts it properly — six numbered articles, in the register these things deserve.
Opening the file…
How it works
Six questions, one per article: the noise and the hours thereof, guests, the refrigerator, the thermostat, the chores, and what happens six months in when a clause turns out to be wrong. Each answer selects one of four drafted clauses, so there are four thousand and ninety-six possible agreements and yours is the one your six honest answers point at. Nothing is random — the document is a pure function of your picks, which is what lets the link reproduce it exactly for the people it binds.
Why the clauses are written rather than generated
The corner’s motto generator assembles phrases from word lists and then checks the result against a blocklist, because a randomly assembled three-word phrase can collide with somebody’s famous line. Forty words of drafted legalese cannot collide by accident, so these are written out — each one the honest and slightly unhinged rule a real household actually runs on. The joke is the register, not a reference: nothing here quotes or paraphrases anything from any television programme, and the agreement is about your flat.
What it is actually for
Two things, and the second is the real one. It is funny, which is enough. But the questions are the ones a shared household genuinely has to answer, and a surprising number of people discover while answering them that their flatmates would have picked differently. Send somebody the link and find out whether you live in the same agreement.
Settle it in the forum
The board’s forum will happily tell you that your Article III is indefensible. Post the link and let it.
This is fan-made, and unofficial
This is an unofficial fan page for the television series The Big Bang Theory, naming the show under nominative fair use. It is a free, unofficial fan tribute, made for fun. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Warner Bros. Television, Chuck Lorre Productions, or CBS.
Every word on this page is original writing. No dialogue, catchphrase, script text, scene, still, logo or artwork from any television series is reproduced anywhere in it, and nothing here imitates an official mark. Iron Realms — the strategy game the rest of this site is about — is an original fantasy world with its own map, its own houses and its own art, and has no connection to the world of The Big Bang Theory. This corner is kept separate on purpose, and nothing in it should be read as suggesting otherwise.
The rest of the corner
The Big Bang Theory wing also has The Whiteboard Test, and more is on its roadmap. The fan tributes hub has the Westeros, Supernatural, King of the Hill, Fringe and Last Kingdom wings alongside this one, and the free tools that are not about anybody’s fiction. If you would rather play something with more to it, Iron Realms is free and runs in a browser tab.
