New: The AFE Code
Aquarius
now an AFE version.
I knew you'd be pleased.
Mosey on over to http://www.kryogenix.albatross.co.uk/afe/afecode.html
to generate yours, or to decode other people's.
I'd love to hear any suggestions that anyone has for additions to the
code, so if you want another category added, say so and I may do it.
:)
Mine should now be the bottom line of my .sig - if it isn't, blame
FreeAgent and then go and get your own.
Actually, mine is:
AFE dg++ ka+++ d+ m+ ot+ b++ tq+ i+ c- l++ afec++ a?
so that's OK :-)

First: Nothing happens when I press "Decode" or "Show me!".
I don't use to have problems with JavaScript
so I assume that something is wrong.
Second: On some of the subjects none of the answers seems to fit me.
Espescially those about "Dryad Genetics" and "Klael's Army".

Well I'd like a filk category added -- but then I would, wouldn't I? :)
I'd also like an option on meets along the lines of 'I am the only AFEr
in my country, so _am_ a meet' (or something similar)

Certainly, but... do you mind actually placing an explanation of the
code elements and values on the site? That helps somewhat, as viewing
your JavaScript source gets tedious.
Nice script, btw. Very smoothly done.
And... a suggestion -
fs - favourite Eddings series
fsB - Belgariad
fsM - Malloreon
fsE - Elenium
fsT - Tamuli
fsN - non-fantasy
fsP - Belgariad Prequels and/or tRC
fs- - no particular favourite

Add another option to the longevity thread. I personally just mised Kalten
the first time around by a couple of months, and was here before the
priesthood. However, most people here I doubt remember the beginning's of the
priesthood, but they've certainly don't fall into the "I've not been posting to
afe long, but I have lurked for a while" option.

As everyone can see I have my own undefined version of dg and ka.
I think the answer for me on Dryad Genetics is
"Have read it in the FAQ and think it's good!"

Sorry.
If you *haven't* got JavaScript support, it pops up a link to
"codeexpl.html" which is a plaintext version of the page, letting you
work it out manually.
I have now changed this so everyone can see the link to this page.
Why did you need to view the source, though? If you want to generate a
code, use the "create a code" part; to decode someone else's, use the
"decode" part...

There shouldn't be anything wrong with it; it's only using v1.0 :(
What browser are you using, Achird? And which version?

In that case, pick the one closest to you....
If you really think that there should be another option, give me a
shout; I am still developing the code.....

Done, and done, respectively.
Aquarius
I was just about to call you all sorts of names, Vanan, since I'm
trying to avoid adding options in the middle of the current batch
(since that breaks currently existing codes). However, I have managed
to add an "l" option between "l+" and "l-". Good, eh?
Aquarius builds redundancy into his code even when he doesn't know
he's doing it :-)

Yes, but it would be nice to have a copy of the code on the PC so you
don't have to go online to decode someones code...

This is done now anyhow, but you could have just saved a copy of the
code generator page and run it in your browser offline; it's all
client-side :)
Now, of course, there is a link to the plain-text version of the code.

parser a bit, as does Ghnomb's m+++(x10) above. Could the parser be
rewritten slightly to ignore any extra text in a token after something

This wouldn't break existing codes :)

Shannon, how did you generate this code?
Manually?
There's a '1+' (digit one, symbol plus) in there, which I think should
be 'l+' (letter L (as in LLAMA), digit plus).
The auto-creator thing shouldn't make that mistake; if you did it
manually then you might want to change it; if the page created it for
you then there's (ahem) <voice volume="very-quiet">a bug in
it</voice>.

/me repeatedly beats Senji across the head.
The Code *does not* provide for moving options, like b->++ - do that
and the decoder will tell you that it's an unrcognised option.
I haven't done that yet, wait for version 2. :-)
It's technically an invalid code[1]; I know what the > and () things
do, but the decoder won't decode them for you.
Aq.
[1] because it isn't decoded by the decoder and is ipso facto wrong :)

This is the text from
http://www.kryogenix.albatross.co.uk/afe/codeexpl.html which is the
"plain text" version of the code for people without JavaScript.
Warning: this is long.
----------------begin extract-----------------
The AFE code - plain text version
Important things to remember:
The code is case-sensitive
It must begin with the four characters "AFE "
Build your code by selecting one (and only one) option from each
category, and putting them all together, separated by spaces.
Remember that a valid code must be prefixed by "AFE ".
For instance, a valid code might be:
AFE dg++ ka+++ d+ m+ ot+ b++ tq+ i+ c- l++ afec++ a?
The categories
Dryad Genetics, the old favourite
dg++++: I am Rumor
dg+++: I love the Dryad Genetics thread. Every time it comes up I post
my pet theory.
dg++: Dryad Genetics? One of the best AFE threads - I wish we could
resurrect it more often.
dg+: I quite like reading the dryad genetics threads but most of it
goes over my head
dg-: I think we're wasting our time talking about Dryad Genetics, to
be honest. None of this is real.
dg--: Dryad Genetics? Nooo! Spare me!
dg---: I've killfiled anything with genetics in the title because
Rumor always baffled me completely when he ent on about it :-)
Klael's Army; deep biochemistry and a legend unto itself
ka++++: I started Klael's Army
ka+++: I have a complete understanding of how Klael's Army can live
and what Arcera is really like, I'm just ot sharing it with
you :-)
ka++: Klael's Army keeps me highly occupied whenever it surfaces on
AFE
ka+: Klael's Army? The thing about the biochemistry? Oh, I follow that
when I can understand it :-)
ka-: I don't understand half the discussion in Klael's Army threads,
nor do I want to
ka--: Like it matters what Arcera is like! Stop being so picky
ka---: I've killfiled Klael's Army
Dryads, our chocolate loving friends
d+++: Love dryads, take at least one everywhere with me.
d++: Have a photo of that dress (and its wearer) pinned up on my wall.
d+: I like dryads. I don't have the energy to be with one all the
time, though.
d: Dryads are OK, but those bows get on my nerves.
d-: I think dryads should wear more clothes.
d--: I think dryads should go find some other men to bother.
d---: I think dryads should be shot with their own arrows.
d!: I am a dryad
Meeting up with other AFErs
m+++: I have organised an AFE meet
m++: I have been to more than one AFE meet
m+: I have been to an AFE meet
m: I would go to a meet if anyone lived anywhere near me
m-: I haven't been to any meets
m--: I have no intention of going to meets
m---: I think you're all artificial intelligences and therefore meets
are a figment of my imagination
Off-topic threads, the lifeblood of AFE
ot+++: I only post to off-topic threads as I've never read the books
:-)
ot++: I get deeply involved in off-topic threads
ot+: I post to off-topic threads if they're particularly interesting
ot-: I don't particularly like off-topic stuff and prefer to post to
on-topic threads
ot--: I hate off-topic threads and berate people for not changing
subject headers
ot---: Why don't all you chatty people just bugger off to IRC? I'm
newgrouping alt.books.eddings tomorrow
The books themselves
b+++: I own all the books in hardback and paperback, including the
deluxe copy of tRC. I scour the DelRey website every
day for extracts from the new series
b++: I have read all the books multiple times, including the Losers
and High Hunt
b+: I've read all the books, although I could do with a re-read at
times
b-: I've read all the fantasy books, but I'm still looking for either
tL or HH
b--: I've read some of the books; why don't people post spoiler
warnings for EEG? :-)
b---: I haven't read any of the books. I only come to AFE to either
post flames or to bathe in the companionship
The Trivia Quiz
tq+++: I always enter the trivia quiz and I'm top of the leaderboard
tq++: I always enter the trivia quiz and normally get some of the
questions right
tq+: I normally enter the trivia quiz and sometimes I get the bonus
mark for a funny answer :-)
tq-: I don't enter the trivia quiz because I haven't got enough time
tq--: I don't enter the trivia quiz because I think it's a waste of
time
tq!: I am Simon Nickerson
IRC, AFE in real time
i+++: I am Tayra
i++: I'm almost always on #eddings. I'm an auto-op. I know what all
the ChanServ commands are
i+: I quite frequently drop into #eddings
i: I'm not too bothered about irc, to be honest
i-: I'm not interested in irc
i--: People on IRC are suckers who like getting enormous phone bills
i?: #eddings? What's that?
The AFE cabal (tinafec)
c+: I believe that there is an AFE cabal, and if I were a member I
wouldn't admit it
c: Cabal? What's that, then?
c-: There is no AFE cabal
Longevity
l++: I've been around for ages. I remember Donal, Amy Sheldon posting
more than just the Recommended Authors list, and
Kalten the first time around
l+: I've been around quite a long time now. I remember Aphrael and
Rumor, the beginning of the Priesthood, and Kalten the
second time
l: I've been around a fair while now, and been posting for quite a
long time
l-: I've not been posting to AFE for long, but I have lurked for a
while
l--: I've not been posting or lurking long
l---: I have never posted to AFE
alt.fan.eddings.creative
afec++: I have written some fanfic and posted it to afec
afec+: I read alt.fan.eddings.creative but have not or will not write
fanfic
afec-: I'm not interested in fanfic
afec?: .creative? really? Cool!
afec!: AFEC isn't on my newsfeed :(
Aliases
a++: I have an Eddings alias, it is registered on the Alias List, and
I do my best to post in character
a+: I do have an Eddings alias but it's just because it's shorter than
my real name
a: I don't have an alias; I post under my real name
a-: I think the whole idea of Eddings aliases is stupid
a?: I have a non-Eddings alias"
Filks
f--: I don't like filks; I think they're daft and puerile
f-: I've got no musical ability so I can't get the hang of filks
f: What's a filk?
f+: I like filks. Sometimes I sing Don't Cry For Me, Isle of Riva when
no-one's looking
f++: I love filks! I've written a filk and posted it to afec
f+++: I am Joy Green
Your Favourite Eddings series
fsB: Belgariad
fsM: Malloreon
fsE: Elenium
fsT: Tamuli
fsN: non-fantasy

Hm.
Anything is possible.
However, some things are awkward :-)
The next release will do this, i think, along with "moving options"
(so you can say "currently, I'm an m+, but I want to be an m++" or
something of that sort).
Wait for release 2, O impatient people.
I might do it this weekend :-)

Hell, I have no objections to that; I was just worried that the
auto-generator was broken ;)
That's what the manual thing is *there* for, after all.

Er - those of you with Javascript - do you have to be on the Web to
decipher these codes, or does it decipher them automatically via email?
(At least the manual version lets me know what it's about!)

How about writing it in a proper language so I can use it. :-) C
or C++ source code would be good for me (as long as you stuck to
the standard).

I suppose I'll have to use that then, but don't blame me when I end
up with invalid code. :-) I'll also *never* be able to understand
anyone elses because I have a terrible memory.

Well then - pay more next time! BTW, Ghworg, that's a nearly 2 Mb

Ho ho ho.
If people get really desperate, I *suppose* I can write an MDaemon

This AFE code is invalid; the first token must be the word 'AFE'.
I can't put that any more succinctly than the decoder did :-)
It has to have 'AFE ' at the beginning so dense decoder programs don't
think it's a geek code and throw a massive wobbler because all the
options are wrong ;)

So you can send a message to (say) afe...@kryogenix.albatross.co.uk,
which returns a form to fill out; you then complete that form and send
it to the same address, and it mails your AFE code to you...

Ah. I see. Useful to get -my- code but still no use to decipher anyone
else's... :-(
Thanks, but I think I'll maybe not bother. Not everyone has. :-)

Setting up a decoding mailserver would be fairly easy too.

Oh, it would work the other way too.....if I did it, which I'm
probably not going to ;)

Blow it out your ear!
I am *not* rewriting it in another language :-)
Someone else can port it if they like, but I'd rather get advised
about it first as otherwise there'll be loads of inconsistent codes
floating around.
Not also that my page is the canonical source 'cos it was my idea ;)
Aren't intellectual rights great? ;)
A perl version would be nice actually, since I can hack that into a
CGI really easily when we get the afe-box on the net....

*ahem* *cough* no it isn't. :)
Just 'cos it looks like a geek code doesn't mean it has to conform to
geek code rules :)
Anyway, version 2 (which has been up for a week or so) does allow for
">" options.
Anyone who would like to see anything new in the Code, either new
formatting options [like () and so on] or new categories [or rewrites
of existing categories - I'll get to it soon, Tayra, promise ;) ] drop
me an email (don't send it here, it'll bore people :)

Any time I try to get a page with 'perl' in the URL I have to delete the
'perl' before it will connect.
