items I threw in. I found it to be really easy to end up with "code" creep
as I kept thinking of cool things to throw in.

Shadowrun Geek Code
Identifier tag: SRGC
Version: v0.2
HOW WE PLAY:
GENERAL
Edition:
SRx (where x identifies the edition in question):
SRx++++ I am Mike Mulvihill
SRx+++ This edition blows the others away!
SRx++ It's flexible and powerful. Too bad reality doesn't work that
way...
SRx+ I like this edition
SRx Eh, it has it's strengths and weaknesses.
SRx- I prefer another edition
SRx-- It sucks!
!SRx Never tried it
SRx? What? There's a new edition out and nobody told me?
House Rules:
h+++ We have more house rules than official ones
h++ FASA left a lot of holes, and we've used a lot of putty
h+ Our house rules add a little flavour to the game
h We only have a couple of house rules. More guidelines, really.
h- I won't play with house rules.
h-- House rules are really just cheating.
h--- How dare you imply that FASA isn't perfect!
Book Ownership:
b++++ I am Jill Lucas.
b+++ I own *everything* SR published by FASA
b++ I have a couple of sourcebooks, and maybe an adventure or two
b+ I have the main book, and Street Samurai Catalog
b I have the main book
b- I remember most of my friend's copy
b-- I looked over it a few times at Waldenbooks, and make up the rest
b--- Umm, they're made out of paper, right?
b? I thought they were just novels
!b Sourcebooks are just another way for eletists to show off, Fight
the system!
BABY Numbers:
B+++ Not only was I in line, but I'm below 100!
B++ I've got one, but I either had to wait in line forever or hack the
HTML on the web sale.
B+ Got one, don't ask how.
B I caught a glimpse of it once, and I'd do anything for it.
B- Of course a hardcover would be nice, but I don't need it.
B-- Eh, doesn't really matter to me.
B--- Why do I need a BABY? I have a 1st Edition Hardcover!
B### List your actual BABY number, if you choose.
Universal Brotherhood:
UB++ Bought it when it came out, won't part with it for anything.
UB+ I finally got ahold of it, took me 3 years, but I have it.
UB You have the UB? I'll sell you my firstborn.
UB- UB is old hat, but it would fit well in my collecton.
UB-- Bugs suck, Chicago sucks, don't want it.
Immortal Elves:
IE+++ I am Harlequin and shall shape the world!!!!
IE++ IEs are awesome...they are behind everything...
IE+ The Immortal Elves are pretty cool. They'll probably show up now
and then in my game.
IE Immortal Elves, huh? Sounds typical for fantasy elves...
IE- The Immortal Elves are okay, but WAY overused.
IE-- The entire Immortal Elf thing should never have happened.
IE--- If you even think Immortal Elves within earshot I'll rip your head
off.
!IE I stubbornly refuse to get dragged into the entire Immortal Elf
debate.
?IE Immortal Elves? There are Immortal Elves????

CHARACTERS:
Deckers:

PERSONAL PLAY STYLE:
Gamemastering:
gm+++ The original EvilGM (TM)
gm++ My campaigns are legends in my town.
gm+ I've been told I am a pretty good GM
gm I've gamemastered from time to time
gm- I tend to avoid gamemastering, it's not as much fun as playing.
gm-- I'm a lousy gamemaster...I pity the player that gets me to GM.
gm--- Gamemastering SUCKS. No way I'll take on that much work.
Munchkinism:
M+++ Has anyone seen where I put the nukes?
M++ Milspec isn't good enough for me...
M+ I occasionally go overboard on a character.
M Wiz gear is cool.
M- If it fits the character concept, I'll go for the good stuff.
M-- I never powergame. Every character has at least 3-4 pages of well
thought out background.
M--- I've written deep novels about my characters and feel vaguely ill
when standing near a Munchkin.
