My Little Pony Geek Code

Just as there's the original geek code, a lego geek code, and a homeschool geek code, there's now a My Little Pony geek code.

The completed code sig file would look kinda like the following:

--------------------------------------------------
C+>C+++P++Y7A++FMOC2MO7FP3.IZ5IB2.H++NT+MB+++MLE++
--------------------------------------------------
 

!    before a code means you refuse to comment, or you are opposed to it;
*    means the ultimate;
>    is where you want to go.

!C would be "I don't collect My Little Ponies.  Don't even talk to me about them."
C* would mean "I have the ultimate collection."
C>C* would mean "I have 50+ ponies, but want the ultimate collection."



Collection:

C*        I am Hasbro.  I make ponies.  I have all ponies.  I have pony
          molds.  I have pony files.  I have the ultimate collection.
C+++++    500+
C++++     400+
C+++      300+
C++       200+
C+        100+
C         50+
C-        20+
C--       1+
C---      None, but maybe soon.
 



New Ponies VS. Old Ponies:

NP*       I designed the New Ponies.
OP*       I designed the Old Ponies.
P++       I collect both new and old Ponies.
PO+       I collect old ponies, but have bought some of the new.
PN+       I collect new ponies, but have bought some of the old.
PN        Old ponies suck.  I collect new ponies exclusively.
PO        New ponies suck.  I collect old ponies exclusively.
P-        My Little Ponies suck.  I don't collect any.



Years Collecting:

To declare how long you've been collecting My Little Ponies, put a "Y"
and then the number of years you've collected.  (Or put "M" and the number
of months.)
 



Age:

A++++     40+ years
A+++      30+ years
A++       20+ years
A+        13-19 years
A         8-12 years
A-        7 or younger
!A        None of yer business
 



Gender:

FG        Female
MG        Male
!G        None of yer business
 



Hard to Find ponies:

MOC:  Mint on Card:  "Ponies still in their box."
MO:   Mail-order:  "Ponies offered by Hasbro through a mail-order only.
FP:   Foreign Pony:  "Ponies non-native to the collector's country.
      Example:  Non So-soft Wind Whistler was sold in Europe, but not in
      the U.S.  So that pony would be foreign to a U.S. collector.  On the
      other hand, sparkle babies were only sold in the U.S., so they
      would be foreign to a European collector."

To show how many of these you have, just put a number after the abbreviation.
For Example, you might have 2 MOC ponies, 5 mail-order ponies, and 1 foreign
pony.  The code would look like this:

MOC2MO5FP1
 



Other items:

Some people collect other items.  Below is the code for the items.

IA Pony accessories, or what each pony came with.
IO Pony (and Megan) outfits.
IP Plush ponies.
IZ Puzzles.
IV Videos.
IS Party supplies.
IB Bed sheets, sleeping bags, bed tent.
IL Lunch Box and Thermos sets.
IF Ceramic figurines.
IC Pony charms.
ICP Petite ponies.
IT Other pony things.
!I "I don't collect any pony items."

To declare how many of an item you own, just put the number after the
abbreviation.  If I had 3 plush ponies, the code would be IP3.  To simplify,
just list the main things you collect or would like to collect.  Use a dot to
separate the Other Items category from those categories coming before and after.

i.e.  MOC4.IO3IV2ICP9.H+
