I wanted to use angle brackets, but lj insisted on trying to interpret them as html. I don't think the ['s look too bad. In any case, buttons are subject only to less-destructive parsing by humans, so please let me know if angle brackets would be better.

Again, any advice on l33t is welcome, and so are opinions about whether the slogans are funny.

After re-rendering the [ into < in my head, it turns out that the second one says "Checkmate! Your king is pwnd!" Which is actually kind of funny, if you can get your head around the idea of chess players speaking 133t.

Note to redbird: "pwned" means "owned" based on the implausible theory that "p" is a likely typo for "o".

I'm glad you liked the joke--I came up with it myself. I'm pretty sure there are still chess players in the right age range to have picked up l33t.
