VGA Planets Skill Codes are codes for players of the 4X computer game VGA Planets.

From the debut post:

For the past week, I’ve been working on a system of rating VGA Planets players that is clearly defined and usable; since most players are good in different areas that cannot be pigeonholed into “Newbie”, “Advanced”, “DemonSpawn”, it seemed to me that there had to be something a little more versatile.

It occured to me reading the Jihad (alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die alt.b4d for short) Codes, and later, the Geek Codes, that something very like that could be easily adapted to the VGA Planets community.

Example
