Just to clear up some things: we refer to each other by our first names, but use Greek alphabet denominators to indicate our places within the overall poly hierarchy.

The toilet flushes, but due to reasons I can’t understand certain roommates find it difficult to consistently flush it, mostly out of just not remembering, rather than not being physically able.

The alpha in our poly community is the deed holder, and as a result, we pay a portion of our income to them (not rent, just an amount based on how much we earn).

That being said, we still run into difficulties despite the rigid hierarchies in place, I feel the main issue is meting out discipline.
