Cryptogram help

[stewstew5]

Can someone please give me a destroyed-gold-haley translation legend, with first letter being regular and second being gibberish? Exe.

T=A

Etc.

The greatest gifts we receive are those we give ourselves, like when we buy a copy of No Cure for the Paladin Blues and War and XPs because the cryptogram translations are in there.

Also, I don't think the same key was used in every strip, so just saying T=A or whatever wouldn't work for all Haley's cryptograms.

That's good to know, although it does take the fun out of figuring them out.

It's a different substitution cipher each strip. If you enjoy figuring out substitution ciphers, this represents much fun to be had! If that's not an exercise you enjoy, however (as I assume it's not, since you're asking for a key), there is a thread somewhere in the archives of this forum that lists all the translations. I think the thread title was something like "What Haley Said." Something along those lines, anyway. It shouldn't be too hard to find with a search.

I feel bad doing this, because you REALLY should buy the books which contain these translations and plenty other goodies (and just came out on PDF!!) but...

What Haley said (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?4909-What-Haley-Said-Compilation)

Yes, each strip with Haley speaking has a different system where the letters mean different things. Several people on the forum have also taken it upon themselves to either work out or post the solutions over the years.
