[IDEA] Monarch

[trajing]

Alright. This'll be a forum game, hosted by me.
There'll be ONE, because I'll design the game in such a way that you can join at any time.
So, the goal of this game is to get your class value up as high as you can.
So, here are some important terms.
Threshold Class- The class value required to do something.
Class value- A numeric value of how esteemed you are.
Class difference- The amount of class you gain or lose by doing something. It will be detailed as positive or negative.
Social Ranking- Can be commoner, noble, or monarch. Determines starting Class Value.
Power- A kingdom. There are 3 at the beginning of the game.
So, with that done, here are the 3 beginning powers.
Spain
France
Britan
Now, due to there only being 3 to start, there are only three starting Monarchs. Don't worry, they have the Threshold Class only to hold a Power. If they lose it, someone else gets the Power.
Controlling a Power is hard. It's an ongoing Class Threshold and if you lose the minimum, then it's handed to another person. If you get the Class Threshold to control a Power, and you aren't stopped by combat, you'll be able to (if you want) make a Power and name it what you wish.
I'm also somewhat following the Feudal society structure.
--MORE TO BE MADE!--
Don't expect this to be out for a while. In the coming week I won't have internet access, and then I need to further refine this idea. Tell me if you like it or not in the poll!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Monarch is almost done. We have ONE more spot for testing. APPLY NOW!

Interesting..

 

[trajing]

Oh, I'm also semi-following the Feudal society structure. Will add to the OP.

 

[Not_Steve]

I'm in when this happens

 

[trajing]

I love how someone said no but didn't give a suggestion.

 

[psp]

looks interesting

Interesting. Is there an incentive to pick Commoner when you could just pick Noble for more starting points?

Well, it'll be random, but, yes. I thought that the commoner ranking would have more skills, considering Nobles and Monarchs are used to having servants do work for them. The downside is I haven't figured out how skills would work yet.

Sounds intresting but I feel stupid for not fully understanding
* rereads OP again.*
Can you explain this to me like I am a five year old?

C'mon, you're thirteen, they teach middle ages in sixth grade social studies.
Basically, it's a semi roleplay. There'll be combat and countries, and hopefully, trading.
If I can make game mechanics out of those.

This is gonna be hard to make? Any specific date

I have enough on my hands already. I'm about to run a test version of the game, but no deadline for anyone.

 

[LordSlyFox]

Ok well I'd love to play it when you do, and no rush of course

 

[the_j485]

Sounds kinda fun. Tell us when you start it.

 

[trajing]

Will do!

 

[psp]

A'll play this game if you start it as i said earlier it looks pretty interesting but i dont quite get what you mean with the "threshold classes"?

 

[trajing]

Nearly everything has a Threshold Class. The Threshold Class is how much class you must have to do something. Class value is how esteemed you are in the eyes of other people. However, Class Difference is what adds or subtracts class, not the Threshold Class.

@Mevansuto this is Monarch.

@Mevansuto this is Monarch.

Ahh. Thanks.

 

[the_j485]

So what are these things we do to gain class?
