Docta, you are the DOCTA! Awesome!

Now, why did the request thread get locked ???

I just need to remember this thread whenever anyone asks for Haley translations. I'm sure there will be a few more that will need to be added to your OP.

[n11]

You might want to change the title from "Complitation" to "Compilation".

And well done, by the way.

Edit: And I suspect the request thread was locked because the request was answered.

[Docta_Dillon]

Thanks for the spell check :)

I check for comics pretty regularly, so I will keep this updated as there are more quotes.

Couple of things:

#267 is wrong. That should be for #268. She isn't talking in #267.

I've seen enough of Thieves' Guild friends sent to prison to know that this should have been conviction.
The "translated" line should read: "I've seen enough of my Thieves' Guild friends sent to prison to know that this should have been conviction. You missed the "my" after "enough of".

Great compilation though. Good work.

[Gary_Howard]

Brilliant! This has needed to be done (ok, not needed, so much, but..) for a while now, and with Haley's speech coming back, I'm sure it'll stay fairly up-to-date.

Thank you! This is a very good reference!

[Caedrel]

I stand corrected and, moreover, salute you, good Docta! (Better you than me, too ;))

[CelestialStick]

Thanks for compiling the translations in one post!

[Lerris]

This is just great very handy.

[seedanrun7]

Whoooo hooooo !!!

Hey--- I think Dillon should get a couple stars or something and be upgraded to dwarf for this!

HEY MODERATOR-- GIVE DILLON A FREE BONUS STAR.

hmmmmm..... how do you get a mod to notice a post... oh I know! I'll put in an inappropriate phrase!!!

<<deleted>> your <<deleted>> <<deleted>> and take a <<deleted>> <<deleted>> your <<deleted>> with a sick camel!

Seriously though-- awsome Dillion -- and do give him a star!

Docta Dillon, you are teh roxxor.

[saraswati]

Thanks Dillon! You da man!

Now if we could only cut and paste that onto the original artwork .....

No, wait, no Giant! Just kidding! No Ban I !

Seriously though, I'd pay an extra ummmm, small amount of money, to have that put in OOTS Volume 2. Sort of subtitle-ish.

Yeah, I'd pay an extra 50% of the zero dollars I'm currently paying. ;D

Seriously though, I would love to see a translated version of those strips. Maybe Rich could include them in the Director's Cut. ;)

[seedanrun7]

Just a quick post to move this back up to the top of the post list-- a few new Haley Speaks posts have come out becuase this was buried on page 5.

[Sc00by]

There's a reasonable argument that the 'What Hayley said' link int eh 'important threads and noticies' thread should point here instead of at the really long one.

Please Lilly?

[Docta_Dillon]

[Lordkraken]

I think that #250, that was listed as "Random four letter word" is yeah, judging by the context, Haley's expression, and the fact that noe of them are the same letter.

The strip in question is here: http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=250

[Docta_Dillon]

that was suggested, along with several other not-so-forum-friendly words, most of which have no repeated letters, in the original "What Haley Said" thread. Personally, I dont think that there is enough evidence to say it is one word over another, so whatever random four letter word you would like it to be, it is.

"Xqp = Yes" for comic #320

[Docta_Dillon]

thanks, its updated.

[Sc00by]

In the absence of an official entry in the FAQ. Don't let this die!

[thedenomerator]

Wow, thank you so much! There were only four little comics that I couldn't figure out on my own without a possible headache, but it was enough to bother me.

I'm sure that this is a minor detail, but the second to last word in #247 is actually "Darn". And you accidentally misspelled "freakin'". Sorry, I'm a typo-jerk. Please feel free to attack all of my errors.

Don't you hate all of those little mistakes in the crytograms, such as where the letter 's' actually stands for itself, and where two different letters stand for the same thing in the common language... It was really annoying when I did my own deciphering.

[Nixie]

FYI: I got the book Vol. II Recently (and signed, booyah!) and it does, in fact, have the translations in it.


Thanks, Dillion for the translation post. It helps.

[Hoopy_Frood]

Hmmmm...I'm the first for 330? That's a surprise.

I think what he meant was that, in some of the ciphers, when you figure out the key (i.e. a=x, b=q, c=m, etc.) the cipher-letters spell out a phrase; on one occasion I think it was a variation on "the quick brown fox..."

Except that, ya know, she knew perfectly well he couldn't understand her.

It's like the way she was perfectly willing to tell him in the restaurant, but balked at the idea of doing anything that would actually convey the information to him.

This is correct. The Giant usually puts one "mistake" into the cipher to make it a slight bit more difficult to decipher.

ok, the OP has been updated, and sorry for my lateness, i was on vacation without my computer.

Did anyone else get "hte" = "aun" instead of "and"?Yes. It seems to happen a lot with these translations where a couple of errors are introduced. "and" should have been "heg" if it was consistent.

[DJ]

I think he does it just to simulate a DM's almost constant failure to recheck his own ciphers in most D&D games...or he's just trying to aggrivate folks...or he's not simulating anything and just forgetting to recheck his own ciphers.


I like to think its the second option.

I'm pretty sure in this case it's the third option.

It looks like the Giant meant to repeat the 'nd' from 'hundred', which he'd just finished encrypting, and shifted it by one accidently, getting 'un' instead. Thus 'aun' instead of 'and'.

[LordOfNarf]

I am somewhat Inclined to agree, I hate proofreading, and I am one of the most anal retentive perfectionists in the world. i can't imagine that an artist rushing to get a free comic up late at night for thousands of rabid fans is going to be doing back translation.

[Barbarian_Dan]

*prediction/spoiler?*




I think Haley is going to get her speech back soon in the battle thats ahead. Aside from the fact this has gone on long enough and her self loathing is following her around I think things are going to get messy for the OOTS real soon and that might snap her our of it.

[Tmabbbb]

Hello. I want to get this thread to the first page. And I think it's ordered by the date of the most recent post on that thread. So this should get it up there. Just wnat to say, it's pretty useful. Some of these I can't translate on my own.

[DASLAYARGH]

Wow. It's all here. Well this is cool. It's very funny what she says.

[Vargtass]

#361:
Holy crap! It's Nale!

Stop listening to yourself speak for once and LOOK where I'm SHOOTING!

[mac13eth]

I think this one was easier because "Nale" gave us four key letters to the longer words.

[Warbanner]

Thanks Vargtass. I'm too lazy to do it myself. I'd rather just read the comic and let y'all pick up the slack. Yay, slack!

[Docta_Dillon]

thanks guys, its updated, and I fixed some errors that were messaged to me. Sorry for the slow updates, school is taking its toll on my oots time.

-Dillon

[TinSoldier]

Woo! Docta Dillon is in the HOUSE!

[Sonic_Moronic]

How did you translate this? Just guessing or...?

[TinSoldier]

How did you translate this? Just guessing or...?I'm not very good at translating these myself, but I think I've done one or two.

You basically use pattern recognition and letter frequency. Each comic is a different substitution so the process starts anew for every episode.

Example: In the latest comic, one of the words that Haley says is "H'x". The only two-letter contraction that I can think of in English is "I'm" so we know the values for I and m. Also look for three letter words that might match "the" and capitalized words for names, etc.

See the What Haley Said... (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=comics;action=display;num=1132355002 ) thread for more information. This thread is basically a compilation (in the first post) of all of her cipher-speak.

[Sonic_Moronic]

WHOA!

Well, i probably couldn't translate that, i guess youre best at it if youre born in some english speaking country ;)

[MUBA]

Am I right if I think the cypher changes every episode?

[Docta_Dillon]

yeah, the cipher changes pretty much every time Haley speaks. Most of the exact ciphers are posted in the "What Haley Said" thread that was linked to before.

it does? holy crud. no wonder she doesn't talk very much.

[Aquilla]

Today's comic, 384, is:

"Is that supposed to be some sort of joke? Because I can't speak? If so, it wasn't very funny."

[Docta_Dillon]

thanks, its updated.

[keri]

Thanks for the translations. I had forgotten how long it has been since she could speak properly.

yea... when will haley get her voice back? :smallfrown:

[Erek Garnsfel]

holy carp! That was awesome

[AmoDman]

Wow, 140 comics. I hadn't realized it's been so long...that's approximately how long it's been since I've enjoyed any of Haley's scenes, Har.

Sorry folks, it had to be said. Really bang up job though. This makes the annoyance slightly lesser.

[skinkatlarge]

I prefer to think she said "Nale???" in #386, but we'll probably never know. :)

[DougWykstra]

I agree. It should be "NALE???" Just because that continues the joke of everybody in the strip shouting Nale's name at least once.

Really- look at the pattern(I'd like to point out that there are no dialogue interruptions between any of these lines):
Sabine- NALE!!!
Elan- NALE!!!
Thog- NALE!!!
Haley- XCGH???

Hmmm... I wonder what that last one translates into?

[The Vanishing Hitchhiker]

I think "NALE???" is most likely. Although she could be saying what, or Elan, or even Thog...

[Docta_Dillon]

sorry about that, I updated the thread before i actually read the comic. last time i listen to my friends. its fixed now though, and after reading the comic, i agree, nale makes much more sense.

-Dillon

[Sir_Norbert]

It is "Nale" -- you can read it in her face -- she's horrified at having just kissed him ;)

[the_last_samurai]

*bows down to greatness*
I have been working on this translation for WEEKS! Good job, y'all!

[Jarl]

So. 393.

-What DID Haley say, anyways?

[timbot]

In 393, Haley probably said "NALE???" because it goes along with the rest of the people's lines, only with "?" instead of "!"

[Warbanner]

Okay, here ya go:

MFGL P opvvlu mfgl? Sry!
NALE I kissed nale? Ugh!

Keeeeeeee! Opno ypv fvv Euugd lcclnwpql! Lgfm
Woooooooo! Kick his ass oddly effective Elan!

Ysy?
Huh?

Oh, and the crypto:
FINULCRYPTOGAMEJ?XVWSQK?D?
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

[Borris]

Drat! Beaten by 10 minutes. I really thought I'd been fast enough to post the solution this time, and there won't ever be another one.

Not that I'm complaining. Finding the new code for every strip was getting really tedious.

[AtomicKitKat]

You missed one typo.

Kyd fxl des gpvwlmpnr we ypa?? Yl'v wyl QPGGFPM!
Why are you listenicg(sic) to him?? He's the VILLAIN!

M and N are close together, so it's a simple mis-pressed key.

For "kidding", the I got parsed in reverse. Note that I can stand for B, while P can stand for I.

[Alfryd]

Really? Haley always struck me more as sorta TN. Well, she has been putting up a facade of sorts...

Rogues are always Chaotic though

[Sendal]

Not always, they just can't be lawful.

[Amon Star]

Not always, they just can't be lawful.

Not anymore. Rogues can be any alignment.

[Moechi_Vill]

Why not change it to Expert? 4'th Edition must eliminate our need for a roguish person in the party capable of picking locks and abiding the law.

Here lies Thief. We loved him most.

[Jarl]

Well, if you're going down that path, you might as well just make it "Smart Hero", eh?
Indeed.
Watch out for over-simplification. The talent system is nifty, but it doesn't have the heroic, epic feel of true D&D. I suppose the clear way of simplifying would be to just have the four basic classes be Cleric, Rogue, Fighter, and Prepared/Spontaneous Caster, and make everything else a prestige class, but that's boring.

-Although, tearing down the whole class system altogether and creating a new, skill-based system could be interesting... wrong for DnD, but interesting...

[ref]

Seriously though, I would love to see a translated version of those strips. Maybe Rich could include them in the Director's Cut. ;)

Oh, I envision it...
A making of book where you see Haley speaking her lines in Common, and then a complicated process is done so that it appears as cryptograms. hehe...

How about that lock'n'stickify?

[bluish_wolf]

Just because you are lawful doesn't mean you obey the law of the land, merely that you believe in tradition and honor. Think a mob boss or something to that effect.

[tigra8]

I think that it was easy to translate durring #309, well it is if you have nothing to do but typing class, and the teacher doesnt know how to work a mouse.

Elan's new clothes are smexy!

[Silverlocke980]

Haley's loss of words was actually a really long comic time... it was cool, too, because it really helped her character.

Many of the more defining "Haley Moments" have been shown, not spoken.

Congrats to the Giant for his skill in not-wordplay!

[Endeavourl]

awesome, reading through the old comics with these certainly make a difference :haley:

Requesting Sticky status.

Requesting Sticky status.

There's already a link to this thread in the sticky entitled Important/reoccuring/FAQ Threads or Notices (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6496)

[SoD]

I must admit I was pleased to finally find out what her 'other secrets' were. I'd guessed that the one about her father would figure in it, but not the others.

[R.O.A.]

Just thought it would be a good idea to bump this thread, so new oots readers can find the Haley translations easily :smallsmile: . I'm surprised there isn't a sticky on this thread actually...

[Irbis]

You, Sir, win the thread necromancy award. Mmmm.

Even Xykon cannot possibly animated something so dead, Epic magic or not :smallwink:

[By the way, I second...? tenth...? whatever motion for sticky.]

[Morgan Wick]

It's been, what, over a year since this thread's been relevant? Link to it from the "Important/Reoccuring/FAQ threads" thread. And see if we can't bring it more up to date, too.

[ChaoticEvilGuy]

THANK THE TWELVE GODS! me an my friend have tried to decode this for awhile and got pretty far, no more hard work for us:smallamused:

[Cizak]

Thanks alot for this! Really fun to reread this part of the comic and now knowing what she's saying. Thanks a lot.

[d'Bwobsling]

This thread really should be sticky along with an oficial V's gender debate

[Document]

Sorry, but this has been covered, but how do you know it's "NALE???" and not "ELAN???" in #386? It seems like it could be either.

[hamishspence]

See War and XPs. it is indeed "Nale???".

[Warlord JK]

Amazing. I could never really do cryptograms so good job :smallbiggrin:.

[Thoughtbot360]

:eek:

.....Haley kissed a girl?

[DBJack]

:eek:

.....Haley kissed a girl?

More than once

[PCofDoom]

More than once

That comment also applies to the number of times this thread has been bumped.

[headmonkeyboy]

Docta, you are the DOCTA! Awesome!

Now, why did the request thread get locked ???

I just need to remember this thread whenever anyone asks for Haley translations. I'm sure there will be a few more that will need to be added to your OP.


Or you could just buy the book

[cho_j]

Omigosh, thank you SO much for this! I am really terrible at cyphering! This has been bugging me for about a year at this point!

Also, is it bad that I've now reread OotS so many times that I know exactly what's going on in each panel that she's talking in, even without looking or having memorized numbers of strips? >.>
