[QUOTE="Branding Opportunity, post: 2384693, member: 31812"] Hi Timothy, just took a quick look at your background which sounds very interesting. One suggestion I would make is that if the game will be a purely (or mostly) political one, I would make the PCs major players. If you start them off as young aristocrats, they would probably have not enough of a stake in things to make them truly exciting to play. They also would not have serious clout. If your character has the ability to influence the life of hundreds if not thousands of people, it hightens the stakes (and the fun) quite a bit. Years ago I played in a [I]Dune[/I] MUSH set in the Imperial seat before the occurences of the first book. Everyone played heads of houses, or major members of the various households, and I thought it was a lot of fun. Another idea is that you open this up to A LOT of people. Those who want to play a lot get the major "roles" and those who just want to post every once in a while get smaller ones. You could even have multiple threads going at the same time, one for each of the major power groups, and then one thread where everyone plays together for major events or meetings. I just realized that my suggestions take the game in a somewhat different direction than what you have posted. Just wanted to add my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
