The Buffy Code Version 2.0

Download Version 2.0 of the Buffy Code (.txt)

Welcome to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer .sig code! For those of you who don’t know what a .sig code is, it’s a code that your put in your e-mail signature file (.sig, signature, get it!) for e-mail and newsgroup postings. I suppose the inspiration for this code came from others I happened upon, and thought 'Hey, I can do that!' . It can tell others in short-hand form what applies to you regarding your favourite(!?) TV show. Remember this is only Version 1.0, any bugs haven't been ironed out yet. If you have any modifications or suggestions for other sections then please let me know on the e-mail above, they're greatly appreciated!
Hopefully later versions will include more, but without further ado, grab a pen and work out your code:

HOW TO CONSTRUCT THE BUFFY CODE
=========================

You should set out your code continuously with no full stops or commas but a single space between each component of code. As this is version 2 of the Buffy Code it will begin like this:

BtVS 2.0 (then main body of the code ...etc. etc. etc.)

CHARACTERS
=========

The first major section is composed of favourite characters, as many as you like, either marked using the plus or minus scale (+++ to - - -) for how much you like/respect/fancy them or you can use the ‘extra’ codes below the character names. Bear in mind, the more characters you choose the longer your code will be. They are all coded (as far as possible) by initials. If you want to add another character fine, just use their intials, and please let me know so I can add them to the next version. If you're looking for a character I split them into 3 sections, The Good, The Bad and The Others. P.S - I'd limit your characters to at most three or four:

AM - Amy Madison

If you want you can follow the code for a character with these extra codes to give a bit more insight for those decoding it into who you are, remember to set it out like this:

e.g. BS+++/# (where # stands for the extra code)

& - I identify with this character
% - I share personality traits with this characters
! - I want to be this character
= - I'm attracted to this character

CHARACTER AND WEAPONS
==================

The next part of the code is what you add for what type of being you would be if you lived in Buffy land. Whatever you like, it doesn’t have to correspond with the favourite character code you picked above, oh and before you ask, you can be more than one, but I would suggest you don't pick more than two, if you do pick two, separate them with a / like so:


Sr - Slayer
Wr - Watcher
Ve - Vampire
Wh - Witch
Dn - Demon
Se - Slayerette
Wf - Werewolf

Now, pick your weapon and do your worst, choose as many as you like or are drawn to, again separate them with a / symbol:


Se - Stake
Cw - Crossbow
Hr - Holy Water
Qf - Quarterstaff

VARIOUS EVIL
=========


And now choose the various evil you'd love to fight, pick one or more from the charcter list above. Again, no more than 3, or your siggys will be longer than your e-mails! Use the +++/--- codes to decide just how much you hate them!

EPISODES
=======


The next part of the code involves you having to pick your favourite episode(s), to do this find the episode in the list below and set it out like this:

E: 22@S2

That would be Becoming Part 2 at the end of Season 2. Or you could have multiples, just set them out like this with a semi-colon between each episode:
