Happenings, and opinion.  Not always good or even reasonable opinion, but hey...
Katsura's interview with the GM of Dalnet's AniManga RPG. (Copied and pasted.  If you have a problem with the spelling/grammar, send your complaints to Katsura, not me.)
<Katsura_Goyoro> alright how long has this place been around?

<Melfina> we're going on our 4th year now.
<Melfina> our original channel, #Nabiki^srpg opened January of 1997,
changed to #Animanagrpg when the founder left in August 1997

<Katsura_Goyoro> I've noticed that there aren't too many rules, you
feel that this is so people get alot of freedom?

<Melfina> Yeah, that's pretty much it.. there's basic channel rules,
then there's always that unwritten common sense rule.

<Katsura_Goyoro>
would you say that the "free range
plot"((In other words, the plot is basically up to the players)) system
that is used on this rpg works?

<Melfina> Yeah..  I'd say it works pretty well.  Unless a player
leaves the plot hanging and makes it up to others to wrap it upn 


<Katsura_Goyoro> how many plots would you say go on simultaneously?

<Melfina> usually, I try and limit it to 1 or 2 at a time..  then
when one finishes, a new one would start.

<Captain_Tylor> We try and keep it to 3 or so at most

<Melfina> it really depends on the plot...  we had some that lasted
for a day or two, some last for 2 or 3 months.


<Katsura_Goyoro> what do you see in this sites future?

<Melfina> Hmm.. for the future, I'm not really sure...  for one, I
would like it to stay open as a RP channel.. and another is setting
up so we can all meet at anime conventions like we have been for the
past 2 - 3 years.
<Melfina> but.. whatever happens, happens.

<Katsura_Goyoro>
Have you ever run into any problems with the large
number of character cross overs.

<Melfina> Not really.  only real problem we had was with power levels
I think..  like comparing Ranma to DBZ.  who's stronger and who can
beat up who during certain situations.  But all in all, it makes it a
lot more fun with crossovers, since the setting is modern day Tokyo,
having a 'midieval' character, like say from Rrecord of lodoss Wars
come to this world and try and interact with more of the 'moden' day
characters

<Katsura_Goyoro>Thank you for your time and heres towards your
continued succes

<Melfina>Thank you, cya

<Katsura_Goyoro>Bye
