B5Gid is a code intended for players of the echo conference ru.babylon5.game. From a machine translation of the document:

This document was developed for the RU.BABYLON5.GAME echo conference (a role-playing game based on the Babylon 5 series).

The code is intended to convey your character’s appearance to other game participants. The completed code can be pasted into an email template or hidden as a kludge. In my opinion, with approximately the same length, the code is much more informative than the kludges allowed by the 5 kludge conference rules.

Kludges, in the FIDOnet protocol, are analogous to email headers or representations of email headers:

The same way RFC headers of an Internet message that cannot be mapped to the elements of an Fidonet message are converted into so called “kludges” that are special lines in a Fidonet message designed to carry information invisible by default to the end user.
