[Ogre] OGRE Geek Code

[Douglas R. Pearson]

With a sigh of relief, here's my last message for today:

I had a lot of fun with Michael Powers' suggestion for
an OGRE Geek Code (see 2001/gevfeb23.txt archive file).
I went ahead and added codes for the Reinforcement Pack,
Battlefields, GURPS Ogre, and some other stuff.  Here's
my "revised" version of the OGRE Geek Code:

----------------
STARTED PLAYING:  S
   Metagaming: +++
   2nd Edition: ++
   1st Ogre/GEV combined edition: +
   Ogre Miniatures: -
   Ogre/GEV second edition: --
   Deluxe Ogre or later: ---

PREFERRED GAME:  indicate level of preference for rule sets
   with '+++' to '---' or () = did not play:
      Ogre 1st ed:  O1
      Ogre 2nd ed:  O2
      G.E.V.:  G
      Shockwave:  S
      Reinforcement Pack:  RP
      Ogre Miniatures:  OM
      Battlefields:  B
      GURPS Ogre:  GO

   Note:  Joseph Bloch (2001/gevfeb28.txt) suggested that there be a
   code for "would like to" and used the example that he was
      S>OM
   meaning that he played Shockwave rules, but would like to play
   Ogre Miniatures.

   I would include the rating of what you are currently playing:
      S++>OM

PRODUCTS OWNED:  PO
  (This includes miniatures sets;  individually-purchased miniatures
   don't count here.)
      0-1:  ---
      2-3:  --
      4-5:  -
      6-8:  +
     9-11:  ++
      12+:  +++

DEVELOPED EXTENSIVE HOUSE RULES AND/OR NEW UNITS:  HR/NU
   indicate level of effort with '+++' to '---' or () = did not do:

STATUS OF OGRE MINIATURES:  MK3, MK5
   (This is based on the average completion status of your miniatures.)
      Still in box: ---
      Out of box, partially glued together: --
      Glued together, possibly primered: -
      Base-coated, no detailing: +
      Fully detailed, 'tabletop quality': ++
      Competition-quality or conversion: +++

STATUS OF OTHER MINIATURES:  CM
   (Average status of ALL non-Ogre minis, same indicators as 'Status
   of Ogre Miniatures'.)

DEVELOPED A WEBSITE:
   (Does not have to be currently on-line. But please, PLEASE think
   about doing so again.  There's been some good ones drop off-radar
   in the last few years . . .)
      posted a few pictures: ---
      basic "I like it" fanboy site: --
      some real content, scenarios, alt units, etc.: -
      real content and great graphics: +
      extensive content and/or a cohesive whole: ++
      kick-ass site (ala 'Pan Pacific Alliance' quality): +++

I had fun with this.  I hope some of you can, too.
