===========================================================================
Goal:
Create a system where economics is not open-ended accumulative, assets are
ICly defined and tradable, assets have associated benefits and are linked
to social class, and income is based on a mixture of assets. Allow players
to combat one another through their assets in a rock-paper-scissors outcome
that should advance RP. Allow players to sell assets, but do not allow them
to give them away without a third party's assistance (to prevent OOC
give-away behaviors.)
Limits - players can have a number of assets limited by social class.
Freemen can have 2 assets, Nobles can have 3 assets, and Genty can have 5.
Assets are purchasable in chargen, or in game.
Social class:
- Freemen players can become gentry in-game by having a Reeve recognize them
by using a class command. Moving from freeman to gentry costs 8000 silver
(the command itself consumes that silver).
- Other methods of becoming gentry are to become a GL or get it through
a role when roles come in. These are temporary overwrites of a char's
default social class.
- Nobility is handed out by the Keeper of the Seal under the same ennoble
rules as now.
- Staff can set social class via normal class commands.

Hmm, if only staff can change the coded name on Assets, how do people who use an alias in RP sell assets?
Do assets no longer work over a name change like houses/shops? (If so ... how does that work?)

Assets can be sold using the asset markets.
We haven't discussed how it will work with name changes. I would guess they would not be able to keep them as people would no longer recognize them as the same owner.

Hopefully this should be enough for handling most ideas from several different aspects and provide ideas for those that need them. From here, you will fill out more details, getting specific to fill things out into interesting RP, and really flesh out where that money is coming from and knowing why it's good or bad at different times.

I just heard that the Charity Piety asset is currently a T3 Gentry/Noble only asset, if so - could I request that get a peek as arguably would Gentry and or Nobles be getting money from charities?

Charity is T3 gentry and noble asset. This doesn't represent being a charity case, but more running a major charity. The money received from this asset can either be spent for the cause on grid, or it can represent money embezzled from donations. Begging would be more representative of receiving charity for yourself.
