@ -104,40 +104,12 @@ A few special characters allow for the (ultimately wrong but practically useful)
| _ | = | (Optional) indicates a baseline answer. _ is one step above -, and one step below +. Therefore, _ is never combined with + or - . For example, instead of leaving it blank/empty, a geek of average shape and size could write d_:_ to indicate they are at the baseline. |
| - | = | indicates a decreased amount of geekiness in a particular area. Each additional - reduces the level further. |
| @ | = | for this variable, said trait is not very rigid, may change with time or with individual interaction. For example, Geeks who happen to very much enjoy Star Trek: Picard as a whole, but aren't sure how they like the current season might list themselves as TSTpic+++@. |
```
() = for indicating "cross-overs" or ranges. Geeks who go from C+ to C— depending on the situation (i.e. mostly "C+") could use C+(—).
```
@ is different from () in that () has finite limits within the category, while @ ranges all over.
```
$ = Indicates that this particular category is done for a living.
```
For example, UL+++$ indicates that the person utilizes Unix and gets paid for it. Quite a lucky geek, for sure.
```
^ = Indicates that the geek has a degree or certificate in this area or field.
```
For example, GCS^/GMU/GTW^ indicates that this is a Geek of Computer Science (with a degree in this field), a Geek of Music, and a Geek of Technical Writing (with a certificate in this field)
```
> = for 'wannabe' ratings. Indicating that while the geek is currently at one rating, they are striving to reach another.
```
For example, UL+++>$ indicating a geek that is currently Linux savvy, but wants to someday make money at it.
```
? = Unless stated otherwise within the specific category, the ? is placed after the category identifier and indicates that the geek has no knowledge about that specific category.
```
```
! = Placed BEFORE the category. Unless stated otherwise, indicates that the person refuses to participate in this category. This is unlike the ? variable as the ? indicates lack of knowledge, while the ! indicates stubborn refusal to participate.
```
For example, !MC would be a person that just plain refuses to have anything to do with Macintosh, while MC? would be a person that doesn't even know what Macintosh is.
