Janitor Code

The information from this article is from a fan game or fan fiction and is therefore not canon.

Janitor Code Key (compiled by Corey Welton). Here's your chance to show what you like and know about the wildly successful Space Quest series. Similar to the Geek Code, all the same non-character symbols apply in the same way.

@ - varying trait i.e., B--@
() - crossover range. i.e., 1+(+++)
> - wannabe. i.e., FAQ++>+++
$ - getting paid for it! i.e., HW$ (how!?)
? - unsure about said topic. i.e., B?
! - irrelevant/refusal to answer.

Please refer to the Geek Code for a more complete explanation.

The letters and numbers are different, however. Here's how they work:

Part I: Personal[]

J: Occupation Type[]

Part II: Game Interests[]

1-6: Game Interest: Repeat for each episode[]

1++++	It is the most amazing creation since the Monolith Burger. I play it everyday. Three times. I have the likeness of this incarnation of Roger on my forehead.
1+++	I like this episode a lot. Probably too much to be considered healthy. I still play it fairly often, looking for new hidden bits of humour.
1++	I like this episode. I'll load it up occasionally, even if it means re-configuring my system to get it to load.
1+	It's a fun episode; I like it, if only for sentimental reasons. I don't really play it anymore, though.
1	Overall, this was a pretty average game.
1-	The only reason I played this one was because it had "Space Quest" written on the box.
1--	Why didn't the Sequel Police get their hands on this thing?!
1---	What the heck were the Two Guys From Andromeda thinking?!!
1----	mv sq* /dev/null/
1?	which episode was this?

Part III: Skills/Knowledge[]

v: Victories (Games Completed)[]

v+++	I have completed them all. I have taken my share of aliens, temptresses, crash-landings, and exploding toilets. I have emerged victorious.
v++	I have finished five out of six of Roger's adventures. I am an accomplished Space Quester.
v+	I have finished four Space Quest games (not counting the multiple sequels in SQ4).
v	I have completed three Space Quests - pretty average!
v-	I have only beaten two out of six. I could use a little more time in the simulator.
v--	I have only finished one of Roger's games. Oh, well...
v---	I have yet to finish a Space Quest game. I am one pitiful gamer.
v*	I am Scott Murphy/Mark Crowe/Josh Mandel.
v?	How do you load these games?

HW: Interest in Hints/Walkthroughs[]

HW++++	They are an integral part of my SQ playing.
HW+++	I used to read up on hints, but I pretty much have them all memorized now.
HW++	I still read up on hints when I can't remember how to do something.
HW+	I've used hints/walkthroughs, but only because they were there...

HW?	I need a clue.

FAQ: SQ Knowledge[]

FAQ++++	I am Troels Pleimert.

FAQ+	I know a lot, but I'm no expert.
FAQ	I'm your average Joe.

Part IV: Game Aspects[]

T+++	The Text Parser should have never been trifled with.
T++	I like the Text Parser and will probably stay that way.
T+	I like the Text Parser, but don't mind that it was pre-empted.
T	I like both equally well, I'm indifferent.
T-	The icon interface is easier to use - stick with it.
T--	Give me a mouse any day.
T---	I threw a party when the day came that the graphical toolbar came into existence.

T?	What is a text parser?

S++	For a bad guy, he's pretty rad.
S+	An integral part of the series.
S	I'm indifferent. Pass the chips.
S-	Sludge could use a little more development.
S--	I much prefer the Sariens, or Sharpei, or Captain Quirk...
