* DivideAndConquer: Mr. Fischoeder does this, and apparently, isn't the first one. He offers to the people the opportunity to have their rent cut in half, in exchange for them to fight each other and the rest of the town having to pay the rent hike. The less altruistic members of the group accept it without a second thought, making the more altruistic ones fear to become victims and accept the game.
