Which isn't surprising given that attachments to non-binary groups aren't
supposed to happen. I know that some servers beside Google will
arbitrarily kill anything with an attachment. If it isn't too long, then
sticking it in the post body won't make a chore of it. If it is, better to
give us a URL to look at.

Okay... I might as well put it right into this post as plaintext.
Brace yourself...

Mooniecode 1.14.15c
Based on: Mooniecode 1.12.05 by Tolaris
Changes since 1.14.15a:
* Amended some of the character notations
* Added a section for the new live-action series
* Other minor tweaks
****************
Introduction
You think all those freakin' moonies are the same? Well, think again. Or
to save yourself this painful process, just subscribe to one of those SM
Mailing Lists and post a message: "Hey people! I'm Sailor Nobrain and I
think Sailor Jupiter is a goddess, Mercury sucks, SOS should force DiC to
dub the S series and I want to know how old everyone here is!" You'll be
surprised how much different responses can originate from such a innocent
post ^_^
Frequent flame wars are a valid proof the moonies *do* differ from one
another... and results of constant "Who's your favourite" polls confirm
that. The problem is, both the flame wars and polls are (in lack of a
better and still civil word... ;) annoying... but unfortunately there are
always individuals who just *need* to know how many people worship Sailor
Mars or if Zoe is pretty...
So, in a desperate attempt to cut down the number of such posts (or rather
for my sheer amusement and out of boredom... ;), I've decided to create
this mooniecode. It was originally inspired by (and uses some customized
portions of) the geek code, (which shouldn't be a surprise... ;) and by
some other codes you can find on the net... particularly by The Goth Code
(and I tell you... that thing *really* needs a decoder... :).
Hey, that sounds cool! But how does it work?
The moonie code consists of a few sections. Each section starts with a
capital letter and is used to describe a part of your amazing and unique
personality. You'll learn more about the sections (as well as about the
qualifiers, and their modifiers) used in them later... For now just please
remember you shall pay special attention to case-sensitivity.
How do I create my own moonie code?
Because there're many codes on the net, the first thing to do is to tell
people what code you're using. Begin your code by writing something like:
Mooniecode[1.14.15c]
The numbers enclosed in parentheses indicate the version of the code. They
aren't really necessary, but you might want to impress those poor people
who don't know what the moonie code is... ^_^
****************
Now let's see how much of a moonie you really are.
Undoubtedly, the most important trait of the moonie is her/his devotion to
the show. To tell the other moonies how much you love Sailor Moon, write
SM:
and add a qualifier: (choose the one that matches with you most closely)
0: You watched Sailor Moon once, when your remote control got broken.
1: You watch Sailor Moon only because you like girls wearing short skirts.
2: You think it's just another TV show.
3: You try to fool yourself it's just another TV show for you, but it's
rather hard considering you get up early everyday to watch it, and you get
really depressed when you miss an episode.
4: You think it's pretty cool TV show. In fact, you'd found it so
interesting you searched the WWW for Sailor Moon related pages and
subscribed to a SM mailing list to find out more about it. You know the NA
dub is actually a dub, not the original version, and you know answers to
some of the Frequently Asked Questions.
5: You think it's a damn fine TV show, one of the only things good on
television any more. You've subscribed to one or more SM mailing lists, and
you occasionally post there. You have your own Sailor Moon related WWW
page. You've bought some SM merchandise. You considered dressing like one
of the SM characters on the Halloween.
6: You actually did dress like one of the SM characters during the last
Halloween. Sailor Moon is the only thing you watch on TV. You've taped all
the episodes, and purchased some fansubs to see more of your favourite
show. You're a regular poster to SM mailing lists. You write SM fanfics.
You have SM related dreams. Your friends refer to you as "that Sailor Moon
freak".
7: You have no friends anymore, except for the ones you turned into
moonies like you. You have dreams about your favourite SM character. You go
to anime conventions and try to pick up girls dressed in sailor fuku. Your
room is filled with Sailor Moon merchandise. You insist your girlfriend/
wife shall dye her hair green and start playing violin.
8: Your room is so full of the SM merchandise you had to move to the
basement. You have all episode synopses memorized. You go to anime
conventions dressed in sailor fuku (and you're a 200 pound hairy male...).
You write SM lemons and don't even try to disguise your character written
in them. Your pregnant wife/mother/SO goes into labour and you stay home to
watch new Sailor Moon episodes you've just gotten from your friend.
9: *You* go into labour and you decide to stay home, because you want to
once again watch your favourite episode. Sailor Moon is your religion. You
can quote entire original episodes verbatim, and you don't even know
Japanese. You go to work/school dressed like your favourite SM character.
You have done every single thing listed on Starfox's "YKYWTMSMW..." pages,
and some things not listed... including calling out the name of your
favourite senshi while making love to your better half.
10: You actually believe you *are* Usagi (or some other Sailor Moon
character). You're Sailor Moon's alter ego, her second reincarnation, her
in a nutshell - you find that you talk like her, act like her, feel like
her, think like her, love like her, dream like her, eat like her, and...
well... underachieve like her, too ^_^;; You're her twin, her clone, her
whatever, you *are* her, damn it! ^_^;;;
If you feel you fit somewhere 'between' two of the above, choose the one
that fit you most and add a "+" or a "-" depending if you're more or less
advanced moonie, respectively.
Additionally, if you do things listed in two or more *very* different
categories, write the one that most closely matches you, then the *highest*
of the other categories, enclosed in square brackets.
If applicable, add one of the following:
m-: If someone calls you a moonie, you go ballistic. Either because you
don't like this term, you hate being filed like that, or for whatever other
reason.
m+: You deliberately call yourself a moonie.
Example:
The category that matches with me most closely is "4": I have many English-
dub episodes on videotape, including the movies, I have a vast SM image
archive on my computer, and my computer also contains videos of all of the
live-action SM episodes aired so far. I don't mind being called a
"moonie", as long as it's that term and not something else. So this part
of my code would be 4m+.
****************
Tell the world about your favourites!
Everyone has their favourites, and moonies are no exception (well, some of
them are, but that's not the point ;) Anyway, it's time to tell all those
pollsters who your favourite characters are and how much you love them. (I
mean the characters here of course... not the pollsters ;) This is a
separate section of the mooniecode, so add a space after your moonie
rating, and then write:
F:
We'll start with the senshi. (If you don't know your favourite senshi yet,
just skip this section.) Write an "s" and choose from the following. (I've
included the DiC names in parenthesis for the poor souls that only know the
DiC-dub) If you like more than one, separate each choice with a "|".
Btw, "senshi" is singular *and* plural: one senshi, two senshi, three
senshi... there is no "senshis". Also, names are generally in Japanese
form: family name first.
Inner Senshi
1: Sailor Moon - Tsukino Usagi (Serena)
2: Sailor Mercury - Mizuno Ami (Amy)
3: Sailor Mars - Hino Rei (Raye)
4: Sailor Jupiter - Kino Makoto (Lita)
5: Sailor Venus - Aino Minako (Mina)
In: all Inner Senshi
Outer Senshi
6: Sailor Pluto - Meiou Setsuna (Trista)
7: Sailor Neptune - Kaiou Michiru (Michelle)
8: Sailor Uranus - Ten'ou Haruka (Amara)
10: Sailor Saturn - Tomoe Hotaru (Hotaru)
Ou: all Outer Senshi
Starlights (male forms only in anime, all-time female in the manga)
Yf: Sailor Starhealer (female)
Ym: Kou Yaten (male)
Ya: Starhealer+Yaten (female and male)
Sf: Sailor Starfighter (female)
Sm: Kou Seiya (male)
Se: Starfighter+Seiya (female and male)
Tf: Sailor Starmaker (female)
Tm: Kou Taiki (male)
Ta: Starmaker+Taiki (female and male)
Fs: all Starlight Senshi, female forms only
Ms: all Starlight Senshi, male forms only
Fm: all Starlight Senshi, female and male forms
Others
11: ChibiChibi
9: Sailor Chibi-Moon - Chibi-Usa (Rini)
0: Tuxedo Kamen - Chiba Mamoru (Darien)
12: Sailor Ceres (Manga only)
13: Sailor Juno (Manga only)
14: Sailor Vesta (Manga only)
15: Sailor Pallas (Manga only)
Now add the qualifier to the identifier of each one you choose:
nothing: You like this senshi just a bit more than the others. You don't
even know why, but when someone mentions the senshi-tachi, this is the
first character that comes to your mind.
+: You like this senshi and enjoy a discussion about her. You have some
pictures of her and visit her WWW shrines once in a while. When choosing a
fanfic to read, you pick the ones featuring this senshi.
++: You *really* like this senshi. When watching SM, you pay special
attention to her actions. You join every discussion about her. The hard
disk of you computer is full of pictures and animations featuring her. You
regularly visit her shrines on the WWW. The only fanfics you read are the
ones about her.
+++: This senshi is the main reason you watch Sailor Moon. You righteously
worship her. You created your own WWW shrine devoted her. You room is
filled with posters of her, and the pics of her on the HD of your computer
outnumber the other pics (if you have any other pics left, that is). Her
name is every second word you say. For you, she's a true *goddess*.
Everyone who doesn't agree with you is your enemy and you'll convert them
to your belief, no matter if they want it or not.
If you feel you're already somewhat more than a certain section, but yet
not quite as much as the next section, you can add a "½" (that's
Alt+0189).
Before the qualifier, add:
>: If you feel your obsession with this senshi is increasing... ^_^
nothing: If your opinion about this senshi has been stable for some time,
and you doubt it'll change in the nearest future.
<: If you find this senshi less interesting than you did, let's say, half
a year ago.
Example:
My favourite senshi is Sailor Moon. I'm obsessed with her, although not
extremely, but I find this obsession to be increasing with time. I also
like Sailor Mercury and Sailor Chibi-Moon, although not so much as Sailor
Moon. So this section of my Mooniecode would read as follows: s1>++|2|9
Favourites section - villains
Some people not only like the senshi, but the SM villains as well. If
you're one of them, add an extra part to your 'favourites' section (if you
have your favourite senshi as well, separate these two parts with a ":"),
then write "v" and describe your feelings towards SM villains in the same
way you did for the senshi. Choose up to *two* of the following: (DiC
names in parentheses)

****************
Favourites section - assisting characters
Would SM be the great show it is without the talking cats, ever-drained
Naru, and Umino throwing fried shrimps in her defence? Maybe... maybe not.
Still, some people love the supporting characters, some hate them, and
some actually requested to add this section to the code, so they could
tell everybody how *sweet* Naru is.
If you find some of the supporting characters extremely appealing and want
the world to know about it, add yet another part to your 'favourites'
section. (Remember to write a ":" before it, if you have favourite senshi
and/or villains as well)
Write "a" (which stands for 'assisting characters', as 's' was already
used for the senshi), then state your opinions on your favourite
supporting chars, as you did for the senshi and (perhaps) villains:
General supporting characters
Na: Osaka Naru (Molly)
Um: Gurio Umino (Melvin)
Mo: Furuhata Motoki (Andrew)
Un: Furuhata Unazuki (Lizzie)
Yu: Yuuichirou (Chad)
Ry: Urawa Ryo (Greg)
Ha: Sakurada Haruna (Ms. Haruna)
Rg: Rei's (Raye's) grandpa
Mm: Momoko (Melissa)
Ky: Kyuusuke
Usagi's family
Ik: Tsukino Ikuko (Serena's mother)
Ke: Tsukino Kenji (Serena's father)
Sh: Tsukino Shingo (Sammy)
The cats and other animals
C1: Luna
C2: Artemis
C3: Diana
Pe: Pegasus
He: Helios (Pegasus in human form)
Ph: Phobos
De: Deimos
Movie characters
Lh: Luna in human form (S movie)
Kk: Oozora Kakeru (S movie)
Hi: Nayotake Himeko (S movie)
Pr: Peruru (SuperS movie)
Other supporting characters
Qs: Queen Serenity
Tc: Teenage Chibi-Usa (from SuperS, ep #158)
Ka: Princess Kakyuu (Fireball)
Co: Sailor Cosmos
Ah: Artemis in human form (manga only)
Dh: Diana in human form (manga only)
Zz: not listed supporting character (someone who appears only in one
episode or so)
****************
Favourites section - seasons
Are you one of those few people who get yelled at for preferring SuperS
over the dark S, or the other way around? (This means that *you* yell at
people preferring SuperS, not that SuperS is dark... :P) If you think a
particular Sailor Moon season stands above the others, and is really worth
watching, you may consider advertising it in your mooniecode ^_^
Remember to write a ":" if you have favourite senshi/villains/supporting
characters info stated, then write "p" (which stands for 'part'... it's
not my fault that 'senshi', 'supporting characters' and 'season' all begin
with 's'... ^_^;;) and pick the season you like the most: (heck, choose
more than one, I don't care)
F: First season of Sailor Moon
R: the complete Sailor Moon R season
R1: Ail/Ann arc of R only
R2: Black Moon arc of R only
S: Sailor Moon S
SS: Sailor Moon SuperS
St: the complete Sailor Moon Stars season
St1: Nehelenia arc or Stars only
St2: Starlights arc of Stars only
****************
If there are any SM characters you dislike, list them in the new
section... the 'Dislikes' section! (doh...)
Separate this section from the previous one with a space, then write:
D:
Now construct this section exactly like you did construct your
'Favourites' one... the only difference are the qualifiers:
nothing: There is something in this character you don't like. Hair, tone
of voice, laugh... whatever. You just don't like it.
-: Uhh - this character really gets on your nerves. You have no idea how
somebody can like them, since it's so easy to see what a jerk this
character is. You show your dislike by joining threads in which people
bash this character and occasional snide remarks.
--: You hate this character. You start bashing threads, visit those WWW
"anti-character shrines" and join anti-character projects.
---: You really, really, *really* hate this character. Really. You do.
Absolutely. If this character got murdered one day, you'd be the first
person police would ask about their alibi. You think the show would be
much better off without that blasted character. You create WWW Anti-
(insert hated character name here) shrines and start projects against this
character.
The prefix (before the qualifier) means:
<: Your hostility towards this character lessens.
nothing: You don't like this character and you like it the way it is now.
>: This particular character peeves you more and more everyday.
****************
Experience
Are you a clueless dubbie [1], or are you one of those "been there, seen
that" pros? Have you already forgotten where'd you put your Sailor Moon
laserdiscs, or do you earn blank stares your family by watching "Crystal
Clear Destiny" ten times a day? (Hmm, perhaps the broad grin you bear
seeing Tuxedo Mask getting killed yet again... :P)
I realize such category may lead to abuse, putting people down and what
not... but on the other hand, it is quite a good indicator of a person's
familiarity with the Sailor Moon universe... and lets you decide quickly,
who to bug about the episodes you haven't seen.
The description of your experience is a separate section of the
mooniecode, so add a space after previous section(s) and write:
X:
Now, it's time to list how many episodes you've watched, of what kind, and
how often you get back to them.
We'll start with the anime. (*ignores Michi-chan's frustrated screams that
the manga was first and as such, is more important* :P)
Write "a" and then the following:
The number of dubbed anime episodes you own/have watched, followed by a
code for the version:
jp: Japan - this means the original!
dic: Canada (and other English speaking countries) - First two seasons.
This is the DiC dub: plenty of cuts, lots of censorship, and all names
changed.
cwi: Canada (and other English speaking countries) - S and beyond. This is
the CWI dub: less impudent cuts and censorship than the DiC dub, but still
quite some. All names changed.
efd: English fan dub - this is an English fan dub, might contain (or not)
cuts, censorship and/or changed names.
cab: Cantonese, broadcast version - small cuts, no censorship, names
translated into Chinese
cav: Cantonese, video release - no cuts or censorship, names translated
into Chinese
fil: Filipino (Tagalog) - a few cuts, no censorship (?), only changed
Usagi->Bunny
fre: French - plenty of censorship and cuts, names changed
ger: German - no cuts or censorship, only changed Usagi->Bunny
(translated)
gre: Greek - no cuts or censorship, only changed Usagi->Bunny
ita: Italian - plenty censorship and cuts, names changed
kor: Korean - some censorship and cuts, names changed
mal: Malaysian - no cuts or censorship, possibly names changed (?)
man: Mandarin (Singapore) - few cuts, no censorship, most names changed
pol: Polish - few cuts and censorship, possibly names changed (?)
pob: Portuguese (Brazil) - no cuts or censorship (?), most names changed
to DiC names
pop: Portuguese (Portugal) - no cuts or censorship, changed Usagi->Bunny
and some others
rus: Russian - no cuts or censorship, only changed Usagi->Bunny
spl: Spanish (Latin America) - few censorship, no cuts, names mostly
changed to DiC names
sps: Spanish (Spain) - probably similar to other Spanish version
swe: Swedish - no cuts, few censorship, only few names changed (e.g.
Usagi->Annie)
tha: Thai - no info ^_^;;
vie: Vietnamese - no info
xxd: other dub not listed
Then add the indicator for how often you watch them:
nothing: You've seen these eps once, maybe twice. The video tapes with
them do a great job supporting that shelf in the basement.
+: You watch these episodes every month or so, usually when your
friends drop by and you have nothing better to do.
++: You can't stand a week without watching at least one of those
episodes.
+++: 24 hours without Sailormoon, and you turn into a quivering little
heap, muttering over and over again, "neeed... my... fix..." **@.@** (gee,
don't I know the feeling ^_^)
++++: "Uhmm... what? Look, I can't talk with you know, she's in the middle
of her henshin sequence..."
Like in the previous sections, you can use the "½" (Alt+0189) to fine-tune
your answer. Also, you can specify this for each dub you've seen,
separating each dub with a "|".
If you have seen any or all of the SM movies, separate them from the other
dubs with a "|", then write a "*" followed by the version code (listed
above) and how many of the movies you have seen. The code for the English
dub of the movies is "eng".
Example:
Someone who has 20 episodes of the Japanese version which (s)he watches
rather often, has also seen 60 DiC dub episodes once and also saw 3 French
episodes while he was on vacation in France, as well as the English dubs
of all three movies would be: a20jp++|60dic|3fre|*eng3
Now, separate this bit of info with another "|" and write information
about the subbed eps in the same manner:
evs English fan sub by VKLL
efs English fan sub by an other fansubber
xxs non-English fansub
If your head isn't spinning by now, you might want to include info about
the manga you've read... :P
Remember to write a ":" to separate this part from the info about anime,
(that is, if you have the part about anime written down...)and write a
"m", then construct this part like the anime one with the following codes:
jp1: Japanese manga - the original by Naoko Takeuchi
jp2: Japanese manga - new version released starting in late 2003
mx: the English *adaption* (no translation) by Mixx, the DiC of manga
^_^;;
en: English translation from the Internet (used together with the
original manga)
ge: German manga - quite accurate translation, only name change is
Usagi->Bunny
fr: French manga - translation includes censorship from French dub
(Haruka made male), also uses French dub names
it: Italian manga - seems accurate, but uses Italian dub names
xm: other manga not listed here
Example:
Someone who's read 4 acts of the Mixx manga and can't force themselves to
do that again (no wonder), and who owns 7 acts of the Japanese version,
which (s)he likes much better even though (s)he only can look at the
pictures, would be: m7jp+|4mx
Now, separate this information with another ":" and write information
about the new live-action Sailor Moon series playing in Japan right now,
known on the Internet simply by the abbreviation of "PGSM". Write an "l"
(for "live"), followed by how many of the live episodes you have seen (not
counting the "making of" special that aired in September 2003), and then
an indicator on how frequently you watch them, as described above.
[1]'clueless dubbie' is the property of Xplo Eristotle, Lunar Inquisition,
and most likely a few more shadow and top secret organisations plotting
behind our backs... o.o;
****************
Opinions
There are several things that moonies constantly argue about... like is a
dub better than any of the subs, what is Jupiter's talent size and her
sexual orientation, and who the heck pops up the next Kleenex if there's
no God. Thus it's important for a moonie to state their opinions on those
subjects in their mooniecode.
Before you tell the world your opinions, write a space after the last
section of your code, followed by:
O:
As usual, if you have no opinion on a particular subject, or don't want
people to know it, just skip it. To fine-tune your answer, you can use
square brackets in the same way you did in the 'favourites' and 'dislikes'
sections.
Opinions - The DiC dub
The NA version of Sailor Moon (DiC dub) has suffered from heavy cuts and
modifications, and is *very* different from the Japanese original. only
the first two seasons were dubbed by DiC. To express what you think about
the DiC dub, write "d" then one of the following:
--: The dub is just a parody of the original Sailor Moon. DiC should be
hung by their balls for such terrible job, but unfortunately they don't
have any... Anyone who watches the dub is a complete moron and doesn't
have the right to call themselves a moonie.
-: Comparing to the original, the dub sucks. You aren't going to watch
it, simple as that.
nothing: Dub or the original... you don't care -- it's Sailor Moon and you
love Sailor Moon.
+: Even if the dub differs from the original, you can't deny it's very
useful in promoting anime in the North America. You like watching it, and
you like the others who watch it.
++: The dub *rules*! It's the best frickin' *cartoon* you've ever seen!!
(yeah, I know 'cartoon' is wrong... but I guess who is so messed up to
like the DiC dub would say 'cartoon' as well ^_^;;)
?: A special category -- you don't know what to think about the dub
If applicable, write one of the following before the "d":
?: You've no opinion on the DiC dub (never seen it)
!: "You mean Sailor Moon isn't an American *cartoon*? I don't believe you!
No, I haven't seen any other version."
Example: someone who has only seen the dub and likes it, would be: !d+
Example: a typical, dub-bashing anime purist would be: d--
Example: someone who hasn't seen the dub thus has no opinion on it, would
be: ?d?
Example: someone who *has* seen the dub but can't make their mind about
it, would be: d?
Opinions - The CWI dub
The newer NA dub of Sailor Moon (CWI dub), S season and beyond, doesn't
seem quite as bad as the DiC dub (having the original BG music), but still
has its share of odd changes, like Haruka and Michiru (or rather, Amara
and Michelle) being "cousins", so it's still very different from the
Japanese original. To express what you think about the CWI dub, write "c"
then one of the following:
--: What's all this crap? Haruka and Michiru being COUSINS!? Also, the
voices really suck... especially Serena's voice makes you want to drive a
stake into your ears... or better yet, the VAs ears. You'd only watch it
with a pistol held to your head.
-: Serena's voice (and possibly others as well) still drives you up the
wall, and Haruka & Michiru being cousins is just *wrong*, but at least
they kept the original BGM, so it isn't quite that bad.
nothing: This really isn't bad... you have no probs with any of the
voices, and the other stuff could be worse as well.
+: Even if there are quite some differences from the original, you still
like the dub. You really like *all* the voices and don't mind Haruka's and
Michiru's lesbian relationship being removed.
++: The dub rocks! You *worship* Serena's VA, and as soon as you find out
her address, you'll propose to her! (Even if you're a girl)
?: A special category -- you don't know what to think about the dub
If applicable, write one of the following before the "c":
?: You have no opinion on the CWI dub (never seen it)
!: "You mean Sailor Moon isn't an American *cartoon*? I don't believe you!
No, I haven't seen any other version."
Example: someone who has only seen the dub and likes it, would be: !c+
Example: a typical, dub-bashing anime purist would be: c--
Example: someone who hasn't seen the dub thus has no opinion on it, would
be: ?c?
Example: someone who *has* seen the dub but can't make their mind about
it, would be: c?
Opinions - The live-action version
In October of 2003, a new non-animated version of Sailor Moon hit Japanese
TV screens for the first time. Some people think that the producers of the
new show may just be out of their mind, as it is nothing like the manga or
the animé ("Who's this Hina, and what is she doing with Mamo-chan?!"). If
you have an opinion about this new show, write "l" (again, for "live") and
then one of the following:
--: "What the hell is this? What are the senshi doing dancing all over
the place? Who or what is this 'nako-nako'? Why is Venus trying to be so
distant? Usagi singing karaoke??? This blows!"
-: You don't seem to enjoy the live show. It's much different than what
you expected, such as the fact that the senshi only have their anime
hairstyles when they're transformed.
nothing: Who cares? It may be different, but it's still Sailor Moon, and
you enjoy it nonetheless.
+: You certainly enjoy it, and there are aspects of it that you really
like. For instance, you're comfortable that Luna has the same voice that
she had in the anime.
++: This show rules! You enjoy how Sailor Moon is much more mature, and
much more realistic. And the type of drama the show presents...
Irresistible!
?: A special category -- you don't know what to think about the live show
If applicable, write one of the following before the "c":
?: You have no opinion on the live show, or never seen it (heck, you can
find it on the Internet if you ain't in Japan)
!: This is the only exposure you've ever gotten to Sailor Moon (unlikely
if you're reading this)
Opinions - SOS (Save Our Sailors)
SOS is a fan organization. Those folks are trying to "bring the SM back to
the States and make sure it stays there", and yes, that are the same folks
that came up with the Prince Uranus story. Many people worship them for
that, while many others hate them because of the strange methods they use
to achieve their goal.
To state your opinion on SOS, write "s" then one of the following:
--: You think SOS is evil. They are a bunch of egomaniacs, trying to
brainwash innocent children for their own, definitely evil purposes.
They're solely responsible for the downfall of Sailor Moon in the States.
You take every opportunity to bash them, and you'd rather be dead than
caught buying a pop tart.
-: You think those people at SOS should find something more useful to do.
If they really think they can change anything in the big scheme o'things,
they're very naive. The only thing they achieved so far was creating
disagreement between the SM fans.
nothing: You couldn't care less about SOS, their supporters and enemies.
You just wish people stopped spamming the MLs with the SOS bashing or
praising posts.
+: You think the SOS may be strange, but at least they're trying to do
something, which is (usually... ;) better than doing nothing at all, or
criticizing every effort of others. On your homepage you have link to the
SOS web page. You occasionally defend SOS if someone goes too far in
criticizing them.
++: Those folks at SOS are your heroes. You have a *huge* SOS banner on
your web page. You visit their page regularly and take part in actions
organized by SOS. You got sick from all those stale poptarts you'd bought.
?: You don't have an opinion on SOS.
Z: A *very* special category -- you bash the SOS regularly, but take
every opportunity to remind people it's you who thought up the SOS name.
If applicable, write one of the following before the "s":
?: You've never heard of SOS.
!: You're a member of SOS.
Opinions: Otaku Wars! (Also "Otaku Wars! R" or any other letter)
Hundreds of posts to alt.fan.sailor-moon marked with characteristic [OW!].
Cunning plans, super deformed nameless otaku and futile efforts to
understand what the hell is going on... How do you feel about Otaku Wars!?
Write "o", then add one of the following:
--: What you think about OW! can be (after removing all obscenities ;)
roughly translated to: "bunch of clueless morons, clogging up the
newsgroup with posts absolutely unrelated to Sailor Moon, writing
themselves into this stupid fanfic because they can't find any better way
to get a life." You'd like them to move this nonsense to a different
newsgroup.
-: Some people enjoy the Otaku Wars!, you don't. You have set a kill
filter on the [OW!] posts and don't bother with it anymore.
nothing: You simply don't care about Otaku Wars!
+: You think OW! is funny and occasionally read those posts.
++: You really enjoy Otaku Wars! You have set a watch filter on OW!-
related posts and try to be up-to-date with them. You even took a [small]
part in the Wars.
+++: You're a true veteran of Otaku Wars!, recognized by everyone taking
part in them.
?: You don't have an opinion on Otaku Wars!
If you've never heard about OW!, write "?" before the "o".
Opinions - Attitude towards SM haters/antimoonies
Incredible as it sounds, some people don't love Sailormoon. Worse even,
some of them loathe it and spend their precious time on creating web pages
expressing their disgust and insulting everyone who doesn't agree with
them. Some moonies take things like this very personally, flaming back;
other just shrug and move on... what is your reaction to the SM haters?
Write "a", then one of the following:
--: You HATE antimoonies. How dare those individuals not enjoy the great
show Sailormoon is, is beyond you. How can one insult such great show, is
even more mind-boggling... and it pisses you off like hell! Those infidels
shall burn in the blazing flames of Burning Mandala forever, may Serenity
have mercy on their souls!! uhmm, yeah. ;P in other words, you actively
fight antimoonies, flaming them, creating projects against them and doing
whatever else you manage to think of. ^_^
-: You dislike antimoonies, but have enough brain cells to not get all
worked up over their activities... because this is exactly what they want
to achieve.
nothing: You think everyone is entitled to their opinion, and couldn't
care less about antimoonies. Their flames land in your trashcan the very
moment they reach your inbox, and their web pages never make it to your
bookmarks collection.
+: Not only you think everyone is entitled to their opinion, but to make
your situation worse (at least, in the eyes of more fanatic moonies)
you're ready to admit Sailormoon does have its flaws, and sometimes even
get a laugh from the antimoonies' web pages... o.o; (sacrilege! ;P)
Sure, it's mostly because of the stupidity of their owners... but
sometimes you happen to agree with them ^_^;;
++: You're a closet antimoonies supporter. (Well... not so closet one
anymore, since you just admitted to that in your mooniecode... you better
prepare for death threats)
?: You don't have an opinion on the antimoonies.
Opinions - Attitude towards hentai
"Ohh my... what have we got here...well...", a soft moan escaped her lips,
"so... rich... so... juicy.... so lustfully, sinfully delicious.... so
finger licking GOOD..." She took a short pause to moan again, "Oh yes!
YES! YESSSSS!!!!"
...errr... in case some of you haven't guessed, the quoted girl was
talking about strawberry cheesecake... (And if you haven't guessed it,
then just what did you think, hmm? ^_- geez, some people... ;P) However,
strangely enough, some individuals like to put similar err... dialogues in
their fanfics... and they aren't talking about cheesecake. ^_^ Limes,
lemons and other fruits circulate the web, along with pictures
illustrating the senshi (and not only the senshi...) involved in some very
umm... intimate activities ^_^ While some people shy away from that kind
of stuff, some actively search for it to uhh... enjoy it immensely ^_^
How do you feel about the more ecchi fans of SM? To state your opinion,
write "h", followed by:
---: You absolutely hate hentai stuff, and want it to all burn in the
deepest pits of hell.
--: You don't like hentai stuff, and aren't particularly fond of those
who enjoy it... after all... someone who likes to watch pictures of
teenage girls having sex, or even getting raped... has to have their screw
a bit loose, in your opinion.
-: You don't feel absolutely comfortable around hentai stories/pics...
but don't look down at those who do ^_^
nothing: You think it's a private matter of people what they get off at.
If it happens to be Sailor Moon hentai stuff, it neither makes them worse
or better.
+: Even if you don't read it, you think hentai stuff is quite OK most of
the time... and so are people who enjoy it.
++: "Waaait a second! what's this?! the whole friggin' episode of SM
without even a single panty shot in it?" ¬.¬ (to put it simply... you not
only think people who enjoy ecchi pics and stories are okay... you *are*
one of those people... ^_^)
+++: "Hentai? Hey, that reminds me.... have you read my latest fanfic...
about Rei cheating on Usagi with Minako?"
?: You don't have an opinion on the ecchi stuff and people who enjoy it.
Opinions - Mixxzine
Mixxzine, quality (or rather, lack thereof) of Mixx' manga *adaptions*,
Mixx' non-existing PR department and Mixx owner's sexual practices... four
of the most popular things to discuss (read: to frown upon and whine
about... ;P) in any SM forum... how do you feel about Mixx?
After concluding possible previous subsections with the ':', write "x",
then one of the following:
--: You have Stuart Levy's name circled and underlined in your little
black book; you actively hate Mixx and everything related to it, and will
waste no occassion to tell how awful Stu and his crappy publications are.
-: You dislike Mixxzine... not hate -- just dislike; it's possible that
you'd been even subscribing it for a while, but after getting disappointed
with its poor quality, decided to not bother with it or any new Mixx'
publications anymore.
nothing: "Mixxzine? What about it? It's just a mag -- I've seen better,
I've seen worse..."
+: You think Mixxzine/Smile!/pocket manga are quite good, and worth
skimming them occasionally... of course, they can't compare to the
original manga... but they aren't really as bad as the purists say.
++: You really like Mixx' publications and actually subscribe them,
"because, man, it's like, ToTaLlY kEwL" ^_^;; uhmm...okay, so not being a
valley girl, I have no idea why someone would say something like this, but
I guess you get the idea.
?: You don't have an opinion on Mixx and their publications.
Note: if you've never heard about Mixx, write "?" before the "x".
****************
Personal information
Let's face it... all those "codes" are nothing more than just an excuse to
post a personal ad at the end of your sig... Right? ^_^^_^ So... now it's
time for the section most people pay attention to -- the personal
information.
Like in the previous sections, you can skip the parts you want to keep in
secret, and you can use square brackets to fine-tune your answer.
Put a space after the last section, and then write:
P:
Personal information - Country of residence
"Where do all these moonies come from?" That is a very interesting
question. Sometimes where you live has an effect on what you think about
Sailor Moon. A 14-year-old girl dating a 19-year-old man might be
acceptable in Japan, but it might not be in the U.S., for instance. (Note,
I say *might* not.) So, to state where you live, write an "l" (for
"location", since "c", which could have stood for "country", is used
elsewhere) followed by the two-letter Internet code corresponding to the
country you live in.
Examples:
Au: Australia
Ca: Canada
Fr: France
Jp: Japan
Uk: United Kingdom
Us: United States
Xx: You don't know, or just won't say
And so on.
Personal information - Age
"I wanna know how old everyone here is!" A canonical question you can find
in every second poll... so... how old are you?
Please, don't lie. You can give an exact answer; you can give a vague
answer (see below...) but don't say you're 30 when you're 15. It's for
your own benefit -- people can understand if you post something stupid and
you're 15... But if you post the same stupid thing and you claim to be 30,
they'll rather think there's something wrong with your brain... ^_^
Anyway... to state how old you are, write "a" followed by your age in
years (human ones... dog years don't count... ;)
Because some of us don't like to talk about their age (and by a pure
coincidence most of those people are women... ;) you can use alternative
method to state your age:
Write "a", then choose one which fits you:
---: You're somewhere around Chibi-Chibi's age. Somehow, you managed to
watch "Sailor Moon" while still in your mother's womb!!! Ah, blessed be
the miracle of technology... /*^_^*\
--: You're a very young moonie -- around Chibiusa's age (Somewhere
between 6 and 10)
-: You're much younger than the average moonie -- between 10-13 (Think
of Usagi's brother, Shingo)
nothing: You're at the age of Usagi -- between 14-16.
+: You're somewhat older than the Outer Senshi (Around 18 and older)
++: You're one of those college/university students who get giggled at
for watching a childish 'cartoon' (the offenders probably don't know it's
not a cartoon... Well, it's also live-action now :-P) (Think of Mamoru,
Motoki, Zoisite, Saffiru, Mistress 9...)
+++: You're old, moonie... around 30. (Think of Prince Demando or Dark
Kingdom generals and then some years older even)
++++: Being well over 30, you'd probably find a lot of common subjects to
talk about with Usagi/Serena's parents... ^_^
+++++: "What? I can't hear you over this Sailor Moon show." You can see
eye-to-eye with Rei's grandpop.
Personal information - Shape
Just like geeks and goths, moonies come in many shapes and sizes. The
shape code is divided into 3 parts. But first, separate the shape code
from your age code (that is, if you have written it...) with the ":".
Now write "s" and tell the world how tall you are. (The "s" stands for
"stature", since "h" is used elsewhere). Like any half-way sane person,
we'll use the far-spread metric system. For those still stuck with those
odd, antique inches (shame on you), 1 inch = 2.54 cm, and 1 foot = 30.48
cm.
Example: someone who's 180 cm would be: s180
Example: someone who's 5'6", which is about 168 cm, would be: s168
If you don't know how tall you are, you can use relative scale:
---: "A crowded elevator smells different to a midget" ...and you know it,
first hand ^_^;;
--: You have to look up to your friends' *much* younger relatives.
-: You have to look up to most of your friends.
nothing: You're an average moonie.
+: Most of your friends have to look up to you.
++: At the movies, people keep yelling at you, "Sit down you twit,
wilya!?"
+++: At the movies, people keep yelling at you, "Sit down you twit,
wilya!?" and get big sweatdrops when you actually *stand up* and turn to
face them.
Now, separate your height with the ":", followed by the "w". It's time to
indicate your weight. You can either write down your exact weight in
kilograms (kg = pound / 2.2046), or use the relative scale again:
---: The term "feather" comes to mind...
--: Modelling agencies drool over you.
-: Nice, slim figure.
nothing: You're average - not especially slim, but not especially fat
either.
+: Packing a little more on you than the general populace.
++: You have more width than height.
+++: You simply ignore comparisons with steam rollers and other things.
?: You don't know/You don't *want* to know/You don't want *others* to
know.
It's very easy to forget not every heavy guy is a butterball. This is
where the last part of your shape code comes handy. Separate your weight
with the ":", then write "f" and tell the world something about your
"muscles-to-baby fat ratio". (And guys... try to not lie *too* much, ok?
;)
---: You work out day and night... on your beer muscle.
--: Workout equals getting your ass out of the couch and waddling over to
the fridge.
-: "Pah... who's got brains needs no muscles"
nothing: The average civilian.
+: Athletic figure - while playing Rugby, you ram down all others.
++: The gym is your second home (think Arnold Schwarzenegger)
+++: Schwarzenegger holds nothing on ya, you have at least double as much
muscles
?: I'm not telling! Either that or I don't know... (Gets green slime
poured on his head)
Personal information - Eyes
No matter if purple, brown or grey... often, the first thing that
impresses you about a person is their eyes. (Well, some people prefer to
pay attention to the uhm... talent, but that's not the point... ;) Eyes,
the mirror of the soul... too bad email cannot handle your piercing
stares, but you can at least tell the others what the color of your soul
is... ^_^
Separate the eyes code from the previous section with ":", then write "e"
and up to *two* (if your eyes are a mixture of colors) of the following
identifiers:
B: Blue
G: Green
Ha: Hazel
Br: Brown
Gr: Gray
Bk: Black
R: Red <-- from here on, it becomes interesting
P: Purple
Go: Gold
If appropriate, modify the identifiers with qualifiers:
L: Light
D: Dark
If your eyes are of different colors (Good luck! :-p), separate the
identifiers for each eye with a "|".
If appropriate, add any of the following:
g: You have glasses.
c: You have contacts.
Example: someone who has ice-blue eyes and wears glasses would be: eBLg
Example: someone whose left eye is bluish-green, and the right one is
light-brown would be: eGB|BrL
Personal information - Hair
Moonies' hair isn't as diversified as anime characters, but still, they do
differ. (sometimes with 'assistance'... ;) To inform people of your hair
colour, write a ":" after the last section, then "h" and up to *three*
(like you'd have more than one colour of hair anyway, unless you dyed it)
of the following:
Bl: Blond
R: Red
Br: Brown
Gr: Gray
Bk: Black
Bl: Blue <-- from here on, it becomes interesting
Pi: Pink
O: Orange
P: Purple
C: Cyan
G: Green
As before... if appropriate, modify the colour identifiers with qualifiers:
L: Light
D: Dark
Now, add to this one of the following, to define how long your hair is:
---: Hair? What hair?! (Grandpa Hino, is that you..? ;)
--: "Smith, Sergeant 41st Airborne, ID# 376658547"
-: Close crop. Think of Jadeite's or Haruka's hairstyle.
nothing: Standard "short-back-and-sides" job for boys (kinda like Mamoru's
hairstyle) or bobbed to the neck (Ami) for girls.
+: Slightly longer hair -- just enough for a sexy swing. ^_^ The front
constantly gets in your eyes and the back is of about shoulder-length.
(Yuuichiro/Chad or Michiru, depending on your gender...)
++: Long hair -- down to the centre of your back (for girls... for boys
about shoulder-long)
+++: Really long hair - just like Minako or Rei, it reaches to your butt.
++++: Hairs down to your ankles... okay, so I doubt if something like this
does exist in real life, but anyway... ^_^ Can you say: "Mistress 9"? I
knew you could... ^_^
If appropriate, write a "|" and add any of the following:
w: You wear a wig.
o: You have odango in your hair (Trying to be just like Usagi, eh?).
m: You have a moustache.
b: You wear a beard.
(If you're female, you'd better avoid those last two if you don't want to
get odd stares, unless you wanna end up in Ripley's)
Example: Haruka's code for this part would be: hBl-
Example: Makoto/Lita's code would be: hBr+½ - It's hard to say how long
her hair really is, since she usually wears it in a ponytail. For the sake
of this example, I'm assuming it's something *between* shoulder-length (+)
and the centre of her back (++), hence the ½ (Alt+0189, if you forgot
already).
Personal information - Skin tone (Tan)
If you're willing to tell the world something about this particular aspect
of your looks, write a ":" after the last section of the code, then "t"
and one the following:
--: Pretty pale ^_^
-: White, untanned - like all the senshi (except Setsuna)
nothing: somewhat tanned, but not much (Setsuna)
+: Tanned. Indian or similar.
++: Black. If you weren't born this way, expect skin cancer ^_^;;
As always, the ½ may be used to fine-tune the description.
Personal information - Cultural group
(Please, do *NOT* call it "nationality", better use "ethnicity")
Again, separate this section from the previous ones with a ":", then write
"c" followed by applicable identifiers:
W: White (Irish, European, Caucasian etc.)
A: Asian (Chinese, Korean, Laotian, Japanese, etc...)
J: Jewish. (Not just a religion, but an entire culture.)
H: Hispanic (Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Argentine, etc...)
N: Native American (Inuit, Cherokee, Apache, etc...)
I: Indian. Ancestry from India, Bangladesh, or that area.
M: Middle-Eastern descent (Arab, Persian, Turk, etc...)
P: Polynesian or from the South Pacific (Hawaiian, etc...)
B: Black (African, African-American.)
O: Other, or you don't know
...as the chef from "Martian Successor Nadesico" said, "The world is
small, but it certainly is diverse." Pick as many as apply.
Personal information - Bloodtype
Now why would anyone want to put their bloodtype in their mooniecode?
Well, you never know when you're going to need a quick blood
transfusion... or a proof that you had nothing to do with the birth of a
certain red-eyed, pink-haired, bratty child... ;P (just what *is* Fish
Eye's bloodtype, anyway? ^_^) And if you still not find it a reason good
enough... how about that every senshi consider it important to state their
bloodtype in *their* stats? ^_^ Anyway... to state your bloodtype, write a
":" after the last section of the code, then write "b" followed by your
bloodtype - either A, B, AB or 0. You can also add the '+' to it to
indicate you're Rh-positive, or the '-' if you happen to be Rh-negative.
Incidentally, blood type is in Japan considered to fit certain personality
types just like astrological signs - hence often including it in
character's stats. This is only for O/A/B/AB, not + and -. A very rough
guide to bloodtypes: (from the rec.arts.manga glossary)
A: nervous, introverted, honest, loyal
B: outgoing, optimistic, adventurous
AB: proud, diplomatic, discriminating
O: workaholic, insecure, emotional
?: You have no idea what blood group you are.
If the last paragraph of this subsection sounds damn familiar to you -
congratulations. It means you've actually bothered to read the SM FAQ ^_^
Personal information - Zodiac sign
"Ah yes, Libras. All you need to know about them is this: every time they
tell you that they love you, they mean it..." Although many people don't
have much faith in astrology, it's interesting how often you can meet
people who actually do fit astrological stereotypes... given that, and
that, according to one of the four Generals under Beryl, "everything is
ruled by the stars", it seems only logical to include your astrological
sign in your code ^_^ To do it, add another ":", then write "z" (for
zodiac sign) and one of the following:
Ca: Capricorn, 22 December - 20 January (Sailor Saturn: 6 January)
Aq: Aquarius, 21 January - 19 February (Sailor Uranus: 27 January)
Pi: Pisces, 20 February - 20 March (Sailor Neptune: 6 March)
Ar: Aries, 21 March - 20 April (Sailor Mars: 17 April)
Ta: Taurus, 21 April - 21 May
Ge: Gemini, 22 May - 21 June
Cn: Cancer, 22 June - 23 July (Sailor Moon: 30 June)
Le: Leo, 24 July - 23 August
Vi: Virgo, 24 August - 23 September (Sailor Mercury: 10 September)
Li: Libra, 24 September - 23 October (Sailor Venus: 22 October)
Sc: Scorpio, 24 October - 22 November (Sailor Pluto: 29 October)
Sa: Sagittarius, 23 November - December 21 (Sailor Jupiter: 5 December)
Also, if you know the characteristics for the zodiac signs (or at least
the ones for your zodiac sign), you can tell how good (or bad) the
character traits attributed to your zodiac sign fit to yourself.
--: The characteristics don't fit in the very least... you always knew
that zodiac signs were only mumbo-jumbo ^_^
-: The major part of the characteristics doesn't fit, but there are still
some traits you can find in yourself.
nothing: The characteristics that fit and those that don't are about
equally divided.
+: The majority of the character traits actually fit... that good
sometimes that it's already scary.
++: You are absolutely *perfectly* described by the characteristics of
your zodiac sign. It must be true, "everything *is* ruled by the stars"
^_^
Note that, like the bloodtype subsection, (and unlike most of the other
subsections of the code...) you *can't* fine-tune this bit of the code
with the ½ ^_^
Personal information - Gender (and the necessary kink factor >:( )
Is it really so hard to tell one's gender? Unfortunately, yes...
especially if that person is a moonie. Who'd ever have thought "Sailor
Sucky" is a male, e.g.? Therefore it's important to state your gender in
your mooniecode. Write a ":" after the last section of the code, add a "g"
(for gender) and specify your gender by *one* of the following:
f: You are a female.
m: You are a male.
s: You're the fourth Starlight ^_^
And because every existing code describes the "kink factor" of its owner,
the mooniecode has this one as well... <eg> Add which of the following
best describes you:
---: Uhmm... but what does "kinky" mean? o_O;;
--: Just the mere thought you could answer this question makes you blush.
*^_^*
-: There are things you wouldn't do even if the heavens rained
marshmallow covered pumpkins.
nothing: Hmm... Generally, you're kinky neutral... but it's possible you
might choose *some* things on the "menu"...
+: You pick and choose what you like, but you will try anything at least
once, some things maybe even twice...
++: You'd make Grandpa Hino green with jealousy... You like everything...
and we mean *everything*! ^_^
+++: Purity tests? You mean, checklists?
?: Your kinkiness is your private matter and you aren't going to reveal
it... at least not to everyone.
Special, alternative categories which you may add to standard identifier
or use instead of it:
H: You're member of the Hentai Military Forces and Hentai Wars veteran.
(Note that it doesn't really tell anything about your kink factor... but
by some people can be treated as a hint... ;)
P: You're member of the Puritan Military Forces and Hentai Wars veteran.
(Note that this category can be even more deceiving than the "H"
identifier... ;)
A: You're one of the Moderate Aliens. (Which doesn't tell anything at all
about your kink factor, but since the Aliens also took part in the Hentai
Wars, it was sort of obligatory to include this identifier... :)
(note: do not worry if you have not the slightest idea who those Hentai,
Puritans and Moderate Aliens are... it's just an in-joke, originated from
a certain fanfic... ^_^;;)
Example: a rather squeamish female, member of the Puritan Military Forces
would be: x- ..or... x-P ..or... xP
Personal information - Relationship preference and status
Yeah! The last (and possibly the most important... ;) piece of the
mooniecode. Write a ":" after the previous section of the code, then write
"r".
First, describe the type of relationship you prefer. (This part of the
code is also widely known as "sex (or slut) factor"... ;) Choose, which
one of the following describes you best:
-: You aren't even sure how to spell "monogamy"... Minako is your idol,
and you'd go with both Hawk's Eye and Tiger's Eye anytime! (Assuming
you're a girl, that is... I can't think of any SM-related example for
men... but hopefully you get the idea... :)
nothing: The actual type of relationship is open to negotiation.
+: You're strictly monogamous. No outside affairs, "just you and me
forever" type. Think of Michiru and Haruka's relationship.
Now, write a "|" and describe your current relationship status... Let
people know if they "have a chance"... ^_^
-: Either you're already involved in a relationship or not interested in
getting involved in one. The point is, you're not "available" and people
should get over it.
nothing: You aren't desperate enough to actively look for someone... but
with the right person... who knows? It's all open to negotiation.
+: Yes, you're "available". (And the crowd goes wild... ;)
(Note: please, try to refrain from overdoing here... I know it's tempting
to put numerous '-' or '+'... ^_^ but honestly, most of the time a simple
"no" has much more effect than "No, no, never... I'd never ever never
betray my partner, even if you got all over me wearing nothing but black
leather collar... ^_^ ... which is a rough translation of '++++|----' in
this bit of code... :P)
That's it!
If everything went well, you'd now be a proud owner of your personal
mooniecode. (Though it's hard to believe anyone would be patient enough to
read through this whole text... ;) Anyway, I hope you had at least half of
the fun i'd had writing this...
Anyway, your Mooniecode should now look somewhat like this: (my

I own all 18 french-version mangas, and in them, Haruka is most definitely female.
