The L5R code is a concise method of showing your opinion on a variety
of L5R 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:
L5R(2.0) LN++/SH-- S G+ Y+ P:M+/H-/EJ-/SJ+/E(1) I+ C++ E-- ?M T+ D++ !K H Tk! !IC U++
This means:
L5R(2.0): Written according to version 2.0 update d of the L5R code
LN++/SH--: I am dually aligned. As a Lion Clan member, I prefer to play
them over other clans. As a Shadowlands Horde member, I wish
to change clans.
S: I can be competition when we play
G+: When it comes to the rules, I have a slightly more than basic grasp
Y+: I like the idea of having "story format" tournies
C++: I am a "Mr. Suitcase" type collector
P: Prefered play styles
M+: I like winning by military means
H-: I dislike winning by honor
EJ-: I dislike the Extended Jade tournament format
SJ+: I like the Strict Jade tournament format
E(1): I have completed a single competitive Enlightenment win
I+: I'm an IRC regular and have "voice"
E--: I really only trade away my excesses (more than 3, etc...)
?M: I have never played Magic
T+: I have the Shadowlands taint
D++: When it comes to the storyline, I think it's GREAT!
!K: Bayushi Kachiko is an interesting plot element, nothing more
H: I don't care one way or the other about Hitomi
Tk!: I think Toku is a conerstone figure to L5R
!IC: Iron Crane, Wuss Crane, kill them all!
U++: I'm pretty knowledgable about the storyline
Here are the elements of the L5R code. Choose one from each in order.
