Re: Flat Black: Status in the Imperial Service
Well, it's not the kind of feudal Status that comes with Rank - but outside that, how much raw power does Status need? For an example, members of a national legislature, like US Senators or UK Members of Parliament, seem to have Status, but they have very little power as individuals. Their ability to tell officials to do things and require obedience is very limited.

For Flat Black, could high status individuals do similar (not identical - the details are properties of a particular political system) things? My impression of it is that they could. They might be abusing their status - but so might the senator be if he took against the EPA without justification. |

Re: Flat Black: Status in the Imperial Service
No, they're just things to bear in mind when choosing between Social Regard and Status as a way of representing a world feature. They can easily be considered things that might need to be changed by house rules; they might even be reasons that you might prefer to handle status without using the rules.
