LBS CODE 1.1
as adapted by Patrick Thomas Morgan
This code has been adapted from the L5R code version (1.1d), located at:
http://www.cowell.org/~andy/ccg/l5r/code.html
The LBS code is a concise method of showing your opinion on a variety of LBS related issues. For each of the following options, choose the degree to which it applies (or does not apply) to you.
For example, I am LBS(1.1) SP++ S+ G+ R+ Y+ J C++ E! !M D+ U+
This means:
LBS(1.1): Written according to version 1.0 of the LBS code
SP++: I mostly play decks of the Senpet faction (I switched)
S+: I'm alright (I got better)
G+: I read the FAQ and rulings and have a fairly good grasp of the rules
R+: I like the Rolling Thunder distribution method
Y+: I like "story format" tourneys
J: I think Jinn decks are ok.
C++: I am a "Mr. Suitcase", but I don't actually have a suitcase...
E!: I've been know to give away cards (I have been...)
!M: Magic? Me? I'm not saying...
D+: So far the storyline is great!
U+: With only 3 factions (so far), it's not hard...
Here are the elements of the LBS code thus far. Choose one from each in order.
The Version of the LBS code. Optional. This is 1.1: LBS(1.1)
Version 1.1: First minor update (Secrets and Lies)
Your faction:
AH - Ashalan
AS - Assassin
EB - Ebonite

QB - Qabal
RA - Ra'shari
SP - Senpet
++++ I tattoo my faction's symbol onto other people
+++ I have my faction's symbol tattooed on my body
++ I mostly play only decks of my faction
+ I prefer to play decks from my faction
Eh, it was the first deck I got
- I don't usually play my faction
-- I want to change factions
--- I'm a Qolat spy out to destroy this faction
For example, MO++ is a Moto player who only plays Moto decks.

For example, S+ means your alright.
G: Grasp of the Rules

G- "Okay, I tap for mana..."
G-- Foo a what bar?

plot!
R! I invented it

Section 2: THE CARDS
C: Collecting LBS
C+++ I bought a case of starters, and I refuse to sell or trade
C++ Somebody called me "suitcase boy/girl"
C+ I own some hot cards
C I've got enough to play and have fun, thank you very much.
!C As long as I don't put them in binders, I'm not actually collecting
C- I laughed at someone for sleeving their cards
C-- Speculation will turn LBS into Magic!!!
C--- My cards are so white, I have to write the titles on with magic markers
E: Trading LBS
E+++ I'll trade anything and everything
E++ I'll trade anything but my faction, unless it's REALLY good
E+ I'll trade anything but my faction, no matter how good
E I'll trade my uncommons and commons
E! I've been known to give cards away!
E- I'll trade my commons only
E-- I'll only trade excesses (over-3's, multiple uniques and events)
E--- No! It's mine! It's all mine! Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha!
M: Magic: the Gathering
M++++ The only reason I even play LBS is because WotC bought them
M+++ I can tell you every ruling that affects type II AND all past rulings

M+ I play Magic
M I saw someone playing Magic
!M I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it may tend to
incriminate me.
?M I've never even played Magic
M- I don't like Magic
M-- I hate Magic. WotC is the Anti-Christ.
M--- I destroyed valuable Magic cards rather let someone else have them
M---- They weren't my cards
Section 3: THE STORY AND CHARACTERS
D: The first story arc
D++ WOW! John Wick is God! I LOVE IT!
D+ The Storyline concept is great
D It keeps it in the stores
