Nibelung Code

Nibelung Code is a soc.motss joke code by way of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen.

---------------------Der Kodex des Nibelungen---------------------------

Feel like you spend your whole life toiling away in a dark, damp cave, doing the bidding of others, only to have the fruits of your labor wrested from your grasp by capricious would-be gods, or slip through your fingers due to your own short-sighted bungling? Have you considered the possibility that you are living the life of a Nibelung?

Perhaps you ought to.

Nibelungs, for those who consider themselves above such things as Wagnerian opera, are the hapless cave-dwellers at the bottom of the totem pole in Wagner’s Der_Ring_des_Nibelungen. They are some of the more miserably desperate characters in a four-day opera cycle chock full of miserably desperate characters whose only hope for respite lies in the annihilation of the world as they know it. (If you are a Tolkien fan, think Gollum (and stay away from me.))

The following code, still in development, offers a means to evaluate the extent to which your life has been reduced to that of a troglodyte. I may finish it someday, if I ever get the time.
