GURPS GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! GOD? no, but close.
Meh, i run nearly random and mostly insane crossover games with GURPS, it is fun.
I also once made all my players play themselves. THAT was fun.

Cmon lets have some more stuff here :>
My latest GURPS campaign was called 'Executive Desicion'
All the players are boardroom members in a corporate office, deciding what tech areas to research, which smaller companies to takeover, and which big companies to perform black op raids on.
And also what overly extravagant status symbols to spend their money on :>

How long do you thing it would take to play a simple Text based gurps online. If anyone is interested i have a campaign ready 2 go. It would be just like playing chess by mail. Probably.

It might work... not sure how combat would work with it's 1 second combat rounds though. Maybe ask the players for their general reactions and attitude for a fight, then workout the results for the battle in one go.

we were thinking of something similar in my computing class using the school email.
Itd be doable so long as you dont worry too much about the times for things to be done and allow for characters to drop in and out with ease.

The way i imagine it working would be replacing 'turns'(1 second) with 'acts', a string of commands and character based, default actions.

I think that's how a lot of PBEMRPG's work, but the players need to trust the GM with their characters in the story :> It's a bit easier with GURPS 'cos of the quirks and various personality dis/advantages you have to put in.
Anyway I'm up for it.
