As the owner of the household, Sky was of course, the leader- one who held the most power and thus made the final say on what happened. If a unanimous decision occurred and then last minute, Sky had an impulsive change in heart to do the opposite, we went with it. We still had some say in things though, and the higher you were on the hierarchy, the more power you had. Conversely, the lowest tier of housemates not only had little to no say unless it was convenient, but it also wasn’t uncommon for their entire existence to be ignored. It felt subhuman. There was no established, written form of a hierarchy- but essentially, Sky had favorites and those favorites had much more say on everything.
What constituted the tier arrangement was based primarily on how close you were to Sky. If you had money, had attractive ideals to him, or were of use to him (e.g., his editors and personal assistants which he nicknamed “workers” or “slaves”), then you were more likely to be a higher tier. Housemates that played video games all day were often considered low tier, especially if they were pursuing a gaming career without notable results or were just consistently being 1-upped by Sky.
This was one of the reasons why it was hard to speak up against Sky. If you wanted a higher quality of life, then you had to be on his good side. Sky was law.
