The Power Rangers Fan Code!
SPOOON!!
Fan Code, and this is what happened. Don't blame me.
The Power Rangers Sig Code!
Not the first fan code out there, probably not the last, but I'm making
it, and it's about Power Rangers. Heh.
Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers. Large portions of this document
were blatantly cribbed from the Animaniacs Fan Code. I apologize
profusely.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Format
To distinguish our code from other codes, the code is always preceded by
the identifier "PR", and the version indicator "V1.00". These are not
optional! Follow this with codes from the categories below. You do not
have to include every code; only those you want us to know about. In
cases where degrees are indicated, feel free to expand the code in
either direction as you see fit. The use of more than ten "+"s or "-"s,
however, is regarded as extreme hyperbole, and is a sign one should not
be taken seriously. Whitespace between the codes is recommended but not
required; "JA++ TR++" and "JA++TR++" are equally acceptable. (All codes
begin with capital letters, and none have to end with one, so this
doesn't affect content.) Case is important!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modifiers
The following modifiers may be applied to the codes. Most of them
indicate a degree of indecision.
/ Used when two different values apply. For example, "SR---^/++!".
> Indicates a range of feelings. "BI->++"
~ Indicates indecision. "TO~"
? Used to denote true bafflement. "JU?"
{} Use curly brackets around a rating you hope to attain. "P0{++}"
[] Use square brackets around a rating that once applied. "Dp[s]"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Characters We Love
You are not obliged to include a code for every character; just the ones
you want us to know about. For characters in groups, there is one code
for the group (three letters long), and codes for the individual
characters as well (two letters). Use of both ("B&S++ SK+++ BU+") is not
recommended, but it's your choice. The ratings are as follows:
XX--- I throw things at the TV when this character is on.
XX-- I turn off the TV when this character is on.
XX- I'd rather this character wasn't on so often.
XX or XX0 No feelings; ho-hum.
XX+ I'm fond of this character.
XX++ I love this character!
XX+++ I have written mash notes to this character; I have a tattoo.
You may modify this rating by appending one of the following:
i I see elements of myself in the character.
r This character is my role-model.
! I feel this way about the character's body.
^ I feel this way about the character's mind.
Examples: "BU-!/+++^" means, "Bulk ain't so hot, but the way he thinks
makes me feel faint." (if this describes you, I recommend telling a
professional)

in what season yourself):
