You should see below my Dragon Code, but if you try to decode it you will
find that R% and S% do not mean anything officially. The existing "R"
section of the Code assumes that the bearer would be perceived as human by
most people; being *percieved* as human is the excuse for the R+++s and
R+++!s not being in the headlines.

No-one would perceive me as human. The "S" section could mean "sightings"
in that case, but I am not sure what kind of scale I should use. I could
earn $1,000,000 by being studied by James Randi, but he requires: already
his subjects have got some media attention. Media attention would get me
put in a zoo and/or dissected by the UGA (Undisclosed Government Agency
:-) ).

Fortunately, I do not usually live in this subuniverse but a "parallel" one,
and some Kigdatsi technology in the basement of the house of a certain human
enables me to connect to your Internet.

Given that your presence here is contingent upon the safety of that
technology, I recommend not using a mail reader riddled with security
holes! Outlook Express is just bad news :P

It's the thoughts, and feelings which matters on the "R" tag. After all, you
choose the level you feel best at. Times vary, sometime you might feel
completely has a human, and sometime you might feel completely as a dragon.
Overall progress is actually the key to form the code.

If that would happen, I'd be sure that some people will definitely try to get
you out, if you don't like to be in a zoo. I would, at least, if possible.

That sounds lovely, well at least you are hidden from people paying too much
attention at you.

I *think* Lkuznac is not supposed to be "real" like the rest of us are, but
is just the creation of some sci-fi author. (I personally frequent a blog
written by a guy who claims to be touring alien planets after being
accidentally abducted; but I know *that* is fiction because I know the real
author.) The original post indicates (AFACIT) that Lkuznac is never going
to post about car problems or things that happen at its job because e does
not live in a human society like anyone else. E can live among its species
in a civilisation made by er species, because e is (AFAICT) fictional.

The R tag is (as Lkuznac pointed out) not really applicable here. It goes
along the range "just pretending" to "real but people can't see it".
Lkuznac is "real and people can see it", but is (within the fiction) hidden
somewhere where people don't go. E cannot respond in character, of course,
and E doesn't seem to do out-of-character, which means the Dragon Code is
written in-character, which means that saying "R---" or whatever would be
inaccurate.

I could be wrong, but no-one is going to confirm this either way.

Not a god, but I thought them up, though I was trying to keep that quiet.
Did you search the web for "Kigdatsi"? Also, I am *not* a sci-fi author,
just a person who likes conworlding. Lkuznac is NOT "part of" me; the
connection is more like that between an author and their creation, unlike
for most on this dragons in group. E will continue to be "in-character",
unless people really object.

See http://conworlds.info/ and http://spinnoff.com/zbb/ for the conworlding
communities I am in. Those who really want to lose their suspension of
disbelief might be able to find out lots more about the Kigdatsi at
http://kigdatsi.pbwiki.com/. I really *do* mean to put information there at
some point.

I kind of figured you came up with them just from reply, what with all
the Es and just how it was worded. Then I whois-ed the site.

I found the sites afterwards, looked over the descriptions of the
Kigdatsi, quite interesting stuff.

Thanks for the links, will try to read some more so I have some idea
of the world's background.
