[QUOTE="SebastianDB, post: 593725, member: 9772"] [b]The Noble, Upper Social-Class[/b] I've been on an Elizabethan-lit kick lately (re-reading a few things here and there -- like Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"). I never get bored with the recurring subject of social standing (class) that arises time after time in many literature classics during this period. [B]Thus said, I would definitely be interested in seeing a series of sorts that was able to expand on the multilple sub-classes that exist in a noble, upper-class culture. There are many areas to delve into regarding aristocracy and its social constructs, such as:[/B] --[B]Gender differentiation[/B] (women had it soo much harder in Elizabethan times); differences within each sub-class for men vs. women --[B]Educational upbringing and privilege[/B] --[B]Reverence of religious leadership[/B] --[B]Its relation to marriage[/B] (the downfalls and rises of marrying-up or marrying-down; also varies for men and women) --[B]Pitfalls of being down-classed[/B] (removal of titles and honor) --[B]Effects of relationships with the noble[/B] (the "halo" effect -- i.e. servants to the noble have more "pull" with their peers) --[B]Rights and privileges[/B] --[B]Forming and shaping pubilc opinion[/B] (heightened Diplomacy skills)[B]and trends[/B] ("keeping up with the Joneses") These are just a few things that I can think of off of the top of my head. I think that this would definitely be a challenge to accomplish. [B]But if you could add more depth to the existing aristocrat arsenal, then I think you would be able to take off in a whole new direction with gaming.[/B] Of course, don't lose the blood-lust that I live for.
