I find this actually weird.
Just about a week ago I remembered that the old old Gnetters always talked about a roleplaying thread.
I never saw the point. And I wanted to open this week a thread asking specifically that: what the fuck is the point of role playing?
Now this thread is made.
Anyway, it's just an interesting coincidence; I'm out.
It isn't really an RPG in the true game sense, it is a community story. As to the point of it, it is purely for entertainment purposes. One of the funniest quotes I have read about community stories is this one:

"Last year Penguin Books posed the question “Can a community write a novel?” What the publishing house proved was that an infinite number of monkeys may be able to bang out a workable rendition of Hamlet, but 1500 internet users don’t even come close."
