Here’s some ingress code talk I turned into actual text. Because everywhere I found it so far, it was posted as an image. As far as I can tell, this is the original post: <https://plus.google.com/+AlfonsoMartinezdeLizarrondo/posts/a6TDyTo3nGW>, and the translations are to be attributed to Alfonso Martinez de Lizarrondo. But I might be wrong. Please let me know if you are the original author, and I will change the credits here (or if you are Alfonso, and don’t want me to credit you). I also added a few at the bottom.
What do they say | What do they mean |
---|---|
Hello, How do I move? | I’m a noob. |
How do I submit a portal? | I’m still a noob. |
I have a new idea to improve game-play! | I’ve been playing a little, but still a noob. |
That is a valid portal according to the rule. | That portal is in a restricted zone where one of our teammates can go whenever they want. |
That portal is invalid because it’s not a public zone | That portal is in a restricted zone where none of our teammates can go. |
That’s a worthy portal because it’s a known meeting place. | That’s the pub where I go to have drinks with my friends. |
That’s not a worthy portal because it doesn’t have anything special. | That’s a place where players ofthe other team usually meet. |
That’s a special street art worth being a portal | That’s some ugly graffiti that’s close to the home/workplace of one of our team members. |
That portal should be removed because it’s just garbage- | That’s a nice graffiti close to the home/workplace of one of the other team members. |
This person is a great Ingress player. | That’s a player from our team that picked the car at 2:00 AM to drive 1OOKm to destroy a new field. |
That person has no life outside of Ingress. | That’s a player from the other team that picked the car at 2:00 AM to drive 1OOKm to destroy a new field. |
Let’s hope this field last for long. | We’re covered by a field of our team. |
Come on, we must destroy this field, we can’t play! | We’re covered by a field of the other team. |
This is a very dedicated player. | A teammate is crushing the stats. |
That one is obsessed with Ingress. | An opposite team member is crushing the stats. |
The game is imbalanced. | We’re locally outnumbered. |
Globally the game is balanced. | We’re locally outnumbering the other team. |
Niantic doesn’t care. | There’s some bad action from a member of the opposite team. |
Niantic doesn’t care. | There’s some bad action from a member of our team. |
Here’s some more I humbly add:
Spoofer’s are ruining the game. | I am getting very worked up about someone else not actually walking around, instead of just playing the game involving imaginary triangles with no consequence for real life whatsoever. |
Illegal gear sellers’ messages in allcom make the game unplayable. | I wanna complain so bad that I will find anything – A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G.!!!! – of which I can paint myself as a mistreated victim even though it doesn’t affect me one bit. |
It’s immoral to kill guardian portals using a bot generated list. | It’s immoral to kill guardian portals using a bot generated list. Unless: If it suits me, and a player X is a good friend of player Y, whom I hate. Then I am ethically obligated to use scraped data bases myself and doing that makes me a good person. After all I am just defending myself. |
Look! I caught someone cheating!!! {insert some random, largely uninformative and evidence-free screenshots without pertinence whatsoever here}. | I am really bad at Ingress so I don’t have much fun playing. Instead, I moonlight as an alarmist vigilante and wanna-be detective, smearing other people’s reputation without regard whether there is a good or bad explanation for what I think I’ve found (mostly what I found is actually nothing at all, but yolo!), and pretending to be an agitator having any kind of leverage stirring up a mob. |
Please help the community by reporting this person: {insert some random, largely uninformative and evidence-free screenshots without pertinence whatsoever here}. They cheat and destroy the game. | I am a drama queen or king and that person looked at me cross once, therefore I want to punish them and make them suffer, so that I feel better again! And I want all of mankind to take part in my drama! |
Please help the community by reporting this person! The violated TOS because they said something mean to me. {insert some allcom screenshots that largely show that you started calling people names and the other party merely responded something to the effect of “shut up.”} | I am a bully and do not appreciate people ignoring me. |
I have a new idea to improve game-play! | (ALT) I want to introduce a mechanism into Ingress that makes it impossible for anybody else to do something that I do not approve of, so that everything just works out in exactly the way that I, little self-entitled drunk-on-my-own-importance king that I am, wish. |
I only play for fun, not to win. | I still haven’t understood the game right even though I am already L15, and my team mates mislead me greatly about the mechanics of the game, but I want to give my erratic and senseless dabbling a nice sounding name. |
