  The problem with only one person doing it is that the roll is not fair:
If the person "doing the roll" has something to gain from a certain result,
he will obviously be biased and deliberately roll the number he wants.

  The whole idea of rock-paper-scissors between two people is that the
result is fair to both, as neither can affect the outcome. It's purely
random.
