Not as true to fact as you think - MOST gamers want new systems, but they usually decide to not buy into new books/stuff for a new system because (in their minds) they are used to the system they are playing - to the point of making it seem like a comfortable fit. Another words they can get lazy, are cheap and want something for nothing. We are not propsing buying everthing, just hearing us out and trying something new. I mean, why else are we here? I'll say why... because we saw this NEW online anime and want to contribute to its unique status. How? by making a game differnet from everyone elses. A unique game for a unique anime.

I disagree. Leaving aside the disingenuous characterization that gamers are "lazy and cheap," I certainly understand the impulse to interact with something you like, rather than simply consume it. However, while creating an entirely new system is certainly a laudable goal in that regard, I personally find it to be somewhat greater effort than is necessary if another system can be found to suffice.

While others may see it as innocent, I see it as a slight to vary our course.

Again, I disagree. No slight was intended, and I apologize if you feel insulted, but I do not believe that simply discussing alternatives that utilize existing materials is in any way inappropriate.

Although your enthusiasm is appreciated -  (this should be for everyone) - please keep your personal blog links to yourself (this takes those interested to another area of the internet).

Thanks.

Once again, I find myself unable to concur. There is nothing wrong with linking to an external site - be it mine or anyone else's - when it happens to have relevant information to the topic at hand. That someone should have to look at a website that isn't this wiki is in no way a dilution of the the discussion taking place here.

Again, I can understand that you feel that the topic should maintain its narrow focus - both regarding the scope of the discussion and its venue of discourse - but I find such regulations to be constraining, particularly for a public forum, and as such do not feel particularly bound by them.
