Haley speaking gibberish
In comic 247 Haley starts to speak gibberish after losing all the treasure. Im re-reading all the comics right now an this time through I noticed something interesting in comic 248(http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0248.html). Belkar says "And good news for fans of cryptograms" So I assume Haley is saying stuff, but its encoded. I love ciphers and puzzles. However before I go to the trouble to crack this code I wanted to ask if anyone had done it yet? I doubt its simple so before I spend days on it I wanted to see if it has already been solved. Thanks!

Re: Haley speaking gibberish
It was translated in the forums at the time. They are also translated in the published book.
They are not complicated: they are simple substitution cyphers, although the key does change in every page.
If you enjoy solving them, you can do it yourself. If not, you can search the forums for the translations (or wait until someone posts here a link), or you can buy the physical copy or PDF versions and get the full translation from Rich.

Re: Haley speaking gibberish
Haley's gibberish does indeed translate, as do the various magical writings you see in comic, if you know whicb font is being used.

Re: Haley speaking gibberish
the order of the stick wiki is a good guide to the translations, just check the page for each comic that has one.

Re: Haley speaking gibberish
If you want to translate them yourself, and I did, then I recommend using the pages where Elan returns as your starting point. There's a couple of places where she very obviously says Nale, which gives you two vowels to start with. When you get in practice you can do the more complex ones, like the trial.
Edit: Actually it gives you three vowels, since there's a single letter word in there as well and it's not an A.Last edited by Michaeler; 2018-07-07 at 05:38 PM.

Re: Haley speaking gibberish
Try it and see what happens. Start on any page where Haley says a lot. Or on the Nale? Elan? page, as previously was suggested. I had fun doing it, you might too.
It's also fun to see what The Giant has to say in decorations here and there. Anything that looks like writing probably is.

Re: Haley speaking gibberish
I think the OP just left forum in disappointment.
