This is very true. Gos is so thin that all the papers would
miss him in Note Blizzard; he's so boring that no one would
watch the fight, defeating Viewpoint Shift; every Plot
Device involves people ignoring him; he doesn't get enough
lines to be disturbed by Gratuitious Japanese; and a
Self-Inserted Author would ignore him (when did you last see
him in a self-insertion fic?)
Goskungi stood, awestruck, staring at his hand which felt not the
slightest bit hot despite having just cast a fireball out of thin air.
"I will give you this gift: your previously feeble attempts at magic
shall now work, as you have just seen."
"I'm sensing a 'but' here..."
"Indeed, you are as wise as I expected, and you know better than to try
to subvert my will. This is why I selected you to be my minion in this
realm. You shall do as I command, conquering this land in my name,
then ruling as my deputy. Fail, and I shall recind your powers - and
the further towards conquest you progress, the more of a punishment
that shall likley be, for I predict your style of rising to power will
inevitably gain you enemies who would have your head if not for the
protection you shall derive from my gift."
"Will Akane be one of them?"
"That, I dare not predict. It is mainly up to you. If you still
desire her when this land is yours, and you have neither allowed her to
die nor angered her beyond all possibility of romance, you may win her
heart. But I would not pursue her too much for the near future; you
shall meet many other women, some of whom you may come to desire more."
"No way. Even if I have to defeat Ranma..."
"You are wise, but you have room for improvement if you think that
merely disposing of Ranma, no matter the means, will suffice for that
aim. But you have a more important task just now. I give you a second
gift, of information. The Kunos have just had a family argument,
resulting in their head filing a will naming you as his sole heir.
That will would normally be rescinded after things got patched up, in
about a week or so, but only if the Kunos are still around to patch
things up. Murder the father, and his assets are yours. Dispose of
the children first - including the ninja - and not only will they not
be able to contest the will, thus minimizing chances of things going
wrong, but their assets will belong to the father when his turn
comes...and their financial assets are more than you might think. Make
sure to leave little evidence; your chances are best if no one that
knows you connects you to the deeds, for even with the will, the police
will barely know you exist unless someone tells them about you."

Or, in short, just now when you mentioned it. ^_^;
Gosunkugi is a very underrated martial artist. ;)
"How can I have a *negative* rating? You said the scale only goes down
to zero!"
Ranma shrugged. "I thought it did. Thanks for helping me test the
system, though." And went back to working on the auto-ranker for new
students to judge which of his classes they should sign up for.
} > "I *am* a martial artist!"
} I find something very ironic in him saying that to Akane. I guess
} that's just me...
Well, I *hope* not... ;)
Goskungi looked Ranma in the eye. "You, sir, have not been a martial
artist since before I knew you."
"Then what am I?"
He grinned. "A martial *scientist*."
} > "Akane's right." Ukyo nodded. "C'mon, sugar, sit down, have

} '"Akane's right," Ukyou nodded.' - I think.
It depends on whether she's nodding as she speaks or whether
she nods after she speaks.
"Akane'zz rig..." Ukyo nodded off, lightly snoring after a minute.
;P
} > "Not so cocky now, are we?" The Author smirked.
} Causes me to believe that he hasn't watched much Ranma if he thinks
} that would work ^_^
But it wouldn't be a Ranma fic if his opponent wasn't sure
his first attack won, right?
Darth Kuno spun with a flourish, his black cape whirling dramatically
behind him as he looked away from the exploding planet. "There,
general, *that* is how we deal with rebels who single handedly disable
our star destroyers. I don't care how much trouble he gave you; he was
on that planet, and now he is dead." He pointedly ignored the worried
look on General Sasuke's face, not noticing that Sasuke was not looking
at him, but at the familiar-to-Sasuke spot of energy rising from the
meteor shower that had recently been home to millions of normal people
and Ranma.

Is there another source?
Well, there is the abridged version that Shampoo's been studying:
Amazon Book of Contrived Ramen. ^_-
} This should be ammusing ^_^
I hope so. Kinda misses the point otherwise, right? ;)
Ranma tensed himself. His blow had to strike the blade right where its
lines came together, splitting it perfectly, or it would do little
good...and his hand might be too injured to strike again if he missed.
He had to hit the point.
