Re: Splitting the bill.
My homies and I always go out for nice dinners. If there are more than 2 potential payers, we do a round-robin Roshambo (best of 3) to determine who gets the entire check. This only happens after everyone has ordered, so it may have the same 'moderate meal' effect. If there are only 2 payers, it goes to the coin-flip or some other agreed upon manner of random selection. In the bar-type restaurants, the 'diddle for the middle' dart throw closest to the bullseye has become popular, and adds an element of skill.
We never split the check. Someone always has to pay the entire amount. In large dollar cases, we have been known to have the check be paid by the complete loser and the tip paid by the first loser.
