My brain hurts.  Heck, Japanese is easier for me to read than 1337.

Umm....whatever that means, it looks cool somehow  ;)
The only things I could read out of it were the  words 'it's', 'all', 'good', 'trip' and 'Spanner'. Am I right about that??

Let's see........ something about "white tiger congratulations Spanner-san??" ^^; Probably make more sense to me if I heard it spoken aloud.

Yup  ;D  And I'm not really that fluent yet-- I had to use my Japanese text to double-check the phonetic changes in "issen sam-byaku" (one thousand three hundred).

I thought Byaku was white tiger? Oh wait, maybe it's Byako? Suzaku, Seiryu, Genbu, Byako.......???

I'm not certain, but I THINK that Suzaku, Seiryu, Genbu, and Byako are all Chinese gods, aren't they? So they'd be Chinese, rather than Japanese.

Then again, since Kanji uses a similar character set, maybe they'd sound the same in Japanese. But I think the Kanji are pronounced differently...

Agh, I'll just confess that I have no clue. :P

The animal "white tiger" would be shirotora - shiroi (white) + tora (tiger).  Unless there's some other name for white tigers.  Swans are shirotori, polar bears are shirokuma, etc., etc.

Erm... I'm afraid my "Japanese For Dummies"-type books don't cover Chuugoku no kamitachi (Chinese gods).  Or kishin (demon gods), for that matter.  Yeah, I'm just showing off now.

Yes they are the four gods of the four directions in chinese mythology and Feng Shui. However, those are their Japanese names. Suzaku; Crimson Phoenix of the South. Seiryu; Azure Dragon of the East. Genbu; Black Tortoise of the North. Byako;  White Tiger of the West. And yes, I am getting all this from Fushigi Yuugi (See anime and manga really do teach you new things and even change your life sometimes!). ^_^; I believe there's also sometimes a fifth one, a Gripphon. At least according to the "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui" episode of Cowboy Bebop. Heh heh

Don't feel too bad, Lar. Even I couldn't read that last one. ;D

Uh... I think the first line is

Whoa, leet, dude!

But the second line?

Haisdcolse? ???

Naw, I still feel quite bad, I mean, after all, at least you could make some of it out. I need this whole 'leet' alphabet explained to me sometime. Not by El. *glares*

Post by: Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator) on July 26, 2003, 08:13:27 am
There's not even really an alphabet to speak of.  There are several variants of 1337 based on who's writing it.  Ultimately it's all about replacing characters with similar looks in ASCII and some substitutions like "f" = "ph".

To cheat a little, here's a hax0r generator:

Ah, so |2 is supposed to be an "R".

I dunno; seems like a bit more of a stretch than even regular l33t sp33k. ;D
Title: Re: Spanner got the 1337 post
Post by: Saucer on July 26, 2003, 04:06:11 pm
The "|2" is what really threw me. Also I thought }{ = H was interesting. Usually |-| = H.

Think of it this way, it's like one of those Magic Eye things were you have to find the hidden pattern. Once you know it's there, you go "Oh, I see it now!"

Well, I guess l337 changes for every person.
