Write a story, scenario or game about a secret war waged between and by the household staff of wealthy families in Regency, Victorian or Edwardian England. In this setting the prosperity of the Lords and Ladies who rule over their estates is entirely in the hands of their maids, groundskeepers, cooks and other staff as they battle (literally and figuratively) their enemies. They steal information, hide inflamatory details, spread rumours, engineer embaressing social situations and whisper lies and truths to their employers. They also battle in the kitchens while the wealthing dance in ballrooms, attend wild parties after the household has gone to bed, and generally live a life of action, adventure and wild abandonement. Think of the scenes from Titanic (yes, I know) that contrast the parties in the wealthy and poor parts of the ship.
