I haven't watched the anime at all - my fixation is all about the manga, baby! I haven't even yet read ahead in the manga yet (vol. 20 should be out in a week or two!). I'm not really fanatical about spoilers on my own behalf, though - I reread stuff I like so often, it hardly seem to be something to worry about. (The Mr. says he's less worried about my manga expenditures now that he sees how much use I get out of them ... .)
As noted, I'm not used to this style of RPG ... as a referee in a trditional RPG, 12 was about as many players as I could handle. In this sort of more free-form game, I'm not certain what the ideal pool of players would be. 30? 50?
There's also the issue of online time availability. I tend not to be online a lot at all during the weekend, when we do errands and family-oriented activities. I hate the idea of my slowing anyone else down, though. The online RPGs I've played previously (at www.dreamlyrics.com, which grew out of CompuServe's game board) often had people posting as seldom as once per day - in fact, many refs/mods specified a minimum to keep the games moving. But CFUD seems to run almost in chat mode ... .
Yeah, I have a feeling that things were pretty static in Soul Society before Ichigo & co. showed up - it would be far more interesting to be a character in the more chaotic situation that develops afterward. "May you live in interesting times" is a curse for everyday existence, but a blessing for a roleplaying game!
