For All You Good Children:
The Story Thus Far...

Well, it was assumed after the end of the legendary Operation Ranma Torture 2 that our long-suffering hero, the infamous Ranma8 was all but finished at #anime!, having only reappeared for 3-second intervals since...

However, this was not to be the case, as tonight's little log bears witness to... it seemed that Ranma8 had turned a new leaf, and wasn't as much of a luser as thought.... Well, until he happened to stumble over to irc.anime.net's counterpart to #anime!...

It was not pretty... To say the least....

I'm glad to see that he didn't let us down. ^_-

(Note: For the back story on this, you might wish to view the original Operation Ranma Torture page, hosted by Rika "Fuu" Takahashi at her page.)
(Note: New page location for Fuu's Operation Ranma Torture as of 4-30-97)

(Yet Another Note: Be sure to check out the sequel, Operation Ranma Torture 2, here on this site!)

The Story:
It seems that Ranma8 had a change of heart, having returned to #anime!, and staying longer than 3 seconds at a time... I was ready, as always, with my trusty IRC log, to catch him in the act of being himself... He seemed to be more civil, and I was disappointed... Until he left #anime! EFnet, only to resurface on #anime! irc.anime.net....

There, he was subjected to the cruel and inhumane treatment administered by Armentage (Armen Nakashian)... I almost feel sorry for poor Ramna8, but, it's beyond all that now... I only hope he can return to a "normal" life in time... ^_^;
