+# Populopolis Hall of Records
+
+Enter through the door of this stately building to access the Great Book of Records.
+
+Avatars pride themselves at being the best. Because of that drive, they established a *Hall of Records* in which categories of distinction are as diverse as the activities they participate in.
+
+Included here is a list of some of the *Guilderness Book of Records* title holders, with their record-making facts and figures.
+
+**OLDEST AVATAR**: *Old Stinky* Planterret, 3 years, 237 days.
+
+**WEALTHIEST AVATAR**: *Tokenbags* Bleenquit, lifetime fortune of more than T37 million, mostly from adventuring.
+
+**MOST WISHES GRANTED FROM THE ORACLE**: Sandlebury, 4.
+
+**MOST MILEAGE IN A TELEPORTER**: Zapmeister, 30,711 'Ports.
+
+**MOST REINCARNATIONS**: Ferdinand, 903.
+
+**MOST REGIONS VISITED**: Grizelda, 10,002 different regions.
+
+**MOST TIME IN HABITAT**: Rosetta, 6,111 hrs.
+
+**MOST NOTORIOUS**: Phlebitus, infamous bandit, swindler, TelePort pirate and litterbug.
+
+**MOST OFTEN IN THE NEWS**: Rubin Snide, rabble rousing attorney for the Habitat law firm Snide, Snide, Cromfelter and Snide.
+
+**BEST DRESSED**: Berford, by unanimous choice of the editors of Avatar's Wear Daily.
+
+The Hall of Records is magically kept up-to-date, so the records shown above may no longer be valid.
+
+[From chapter 12 of the Habitat Manual](https://frandallfarmer.github.io/neohabitat-doc/docs//Avatar%20Handbook.html#CHAP12)

+To see the latest record holders: **GET** the trophy, then select **DO** while pointing at it (or your avatar).

+
+ **Populopolis Town Sheriff: Gary M**
+
+#### From [ *The Lessons of Lucasfilm's Habitat* ](http://www.fudco.com/chip/lessons.html)
+~~~~~
+... while we had made direct theft impossible, one could still engage in indirect theft by stealing things set on the ground momentarily or otherwise left unattended. And the violence still possible in the outlands continued to bother some players. Many people thought that such crimes ought to be prevented or at least punished somehow, but they had no idea how to do so. They were used to a world in which law and justice were always things provided by somebody else. Somebody eventually made the suggestion that there ought to be a Sheriff. We quickly figured out how to create a voting mechanism and rounded up some volunteers to hold an election. A public debate in the town meeting hall was heavily attended, with the three Avatars who had chosen to run making statements and fielding questions. The election was held, and the town of Populopolis acquired a Sheriff.
+
+For weeks the Sheriff was nothing but a figurehead, though he was a respected figure and commanded a certain amount of moral authority. We were stumped about what powers to give him. Should he have the right to shoot anyone anywhere? Give him a more powerful gun? A magic wand to zap people off to jail? What about courts? Laws? Lawyers? Again we surveyed the players, eventually settling on a set of questions that could be answered via a referendum. Unfortunately, we were unable to act on the results before the pilot operations ended and the version of the system in which these events took place was shut down. It was clear, however, that there are two basic camps: anarchists and statists. This division of characters and world views is an issue that will need to be addressed by future cyberspace architects. However, our view remains that a virtual world need not be set up with a "default" government, but can instead evolve one as needed.
