How did you decide who made the cut-off of being a "friend"? Seems like every acquaintance you ever had would suddenly become a fake friend if you were giving away free houses, no? Genuinely curious what that was like.

4 friends, minimum 20-30 year friendships, been either best man or groomsmen at each other's weddings, gone through lots together, been roommates, always been loyal and cool to each other.. not hard really

Isn't that easily solved by only including the friends you had before the windfall? I certainly know who I would pick for my best men and that's the same people that I would consider in a situation like that.
