My Suggestion:'famousness' of people
« on: June 17, 2009, 04:57:28 pm »

I would like to see a 'famousness' level for people who have 'apropriate' professions(doctors?, judges, actors, lawers, etc.). For example, Tom cruise would be much more noticable if he was kindapped rather than some amatuer actor. If you kidnapped a famous judge it would probably considered quite an offence and many people would care. If you kidnapped a janitor, no one would really care exept his family.

This would only apply to sleepers, who already have a level of infiltration within society's conservative elements, so I'm not sure what purpose this would serve. Although separating out "influence" and "influence with conservatives" MIGHT be useful for some things, I guess.

Well, it's implemented already, somewhat. The notablity of certain newspaper articles on kidnappings depend on how notable a profession is. If you kidnap a Radio Personality or a Hanging Judge, the kidnapping get on front page story. Kidnapping a janitor gets you on the classified pages.

I mean sub fame. For example, instead of judge, you would see judge(famous)

Kidnapping Tom Cruise, and executing him, would probably just make the government go "YEAH!", along with every other sane person in the world. There would be no consequences to this, besides world joy.
