Notable inmates

gollark: It's possible that I don't really like informal social/status-game-y methods of distributing things because I'm not very good at them and find them unpleasant. But I still don't really like them.
gollark: * worse
gollark: I see. I'm not sure if this is better or wose.
gollark: So they give land to people they deem "cool" somehow, you mean, instead of just listing it generally with low prices?
gollark: "Give nearby people free food" generally scales better, I think, since it's cheaper than land in a lot of places.
