[Kiva]

By special request of the Dev team, this thread is made.

The rules are simple; post any l33tsp34k words you know, and their respective translations and help the team make a l33tsp34k translator for PS. But please don\'t repeat stuff that\'s already been said.


Just to give an example:

d00d - annoying person
1337 - great
w00t - wonderful loot

And so on.


Currently, the list holds: (Yes, I\'m doing it the lazy way)

A- @, 4, /-\\
B- 8, b
C- [, c
D- |>, d
E- 3, e
F- f
G- 9, g
H- |-|, h
I- 1, I, |
J- J
K- |<
L- L, [
M- |\\/|, /\\/\\
N- |\\|, n
O- 0
P- p
Q- q , kw
R- r, |2
S- z, s, 5
T- t, 7
U- OO, |_|
V- \\/, v
W- \\/\\/, w
X- x, ><
Y- j, J, \'/
Z- z

No time to think more atm

You could change that to

By the gods!
Out upon it!
*laughs out loud* (this can be actually risky if someone has \"lol\" in his name )

But that will encourage people to use it as shortcuts I guess xD

Edit:

h8 --> \"hate\"
w8 --> \"wait\"
some1 --> \"someone\"
ne1 --> \"anyone\"

[Feran]

I think it\'d be a nice touch if stuff like lol, rotfl would be translated to /me laughs out loud. And /me rolls on the floor laughing. Also *grin* could be /me grins. etc... More like wishlist stuff

[Cyd]

What I have seen in other games, is that people always find ways to use some words while they are \'disabled\' or something. So if you for example want to translate \'rofl\', you have to translate \'r0fl, rof l, ro fl, r ofl, r0f l rof:l\' .....etc... as well, else it is useless. But isn\'t that too much work?

[Draklar]

People actually change the spelling when it translates to *rolls on the floor laughing*?
I refuse to believe every single person using that is actually that stupid o.o

[Keyaz]

only the really sad l337ers will go to lengths to show the shorthand as it is, most will just type rofl for easyness, besides, we can watch them chat to see what players alter to get their \'coolness\' through and add their alternate ways until the ygive up ^^

hey! dont forget \'l337\' !! for that we could put ... uhm
they say \"im l337!!!11one1!!\"
translation \"I\'m one of those players that has the attention span of a newt \"

[Draklar]

hax0r --> \"magic\"
l4m3r --> \"yokel\"
sux0r/sux0rz/sux0rs --> \"awful\"
rox0r/rox0rz/rox0rs --> \"great\"
sk1llz --> \"skills\"
13wt -->\"loot\"
ub3r --> \"great\"
m4d --> \"mad\"
pr0n --> uhm... \"nudity\" ^^

btw: why \"w00t\" isn\'t \"woohoo!\"?

Because w00t is something people started to say back in the days before Diablo, when they found some w0nderful lo0t. Thus \"w00t!!!!!1oneone\". You\'re happy because you find some great stuff. Makes sense, mmm? - Grono

oh and lvl --> \"level\"?

[Altharion]

woohoo is teh sux3k that is why...

[DepthBlade]

STFU - You sir be quiet
w00t - should be supreme happiness
teh - the
roxxor - happy but not supremely

[Draklar]

You could change all @ to \'a\' altho\' on its own it would be \'at\' :/

[karakth]

pwn = (check pronoun and outputs adequete form of the verb \"to be\") better than.

(e.g. i pwn you = I am better than)

@$$ = backside

g4y = queer

4 = for

u = you

1 = I

Also, there should be a script which checks for what comes after an exclemation mark. If this is found to contain more exclemation marks, 1s, or the word \"one\", then the whole \'word\' is shortened to \"!\"

(e.g. Great!!!!!!!!11111111oneoneone I think it\'s a good idea
would become:
\"Great! I think it\'s a good idea.\")

Actually, \"pwned\" means \"defeated,\" not \"victorious.\"

\"pwn4ge\" (ownage), on the other hand, does mean \"victory\"...
