OotS #251, 260, and 262 – Even More Words from Haley
mid-morning on Tuesday, the 3rd of January 2006 by Anarchy
Well… it’s been a while since I did an OotS translation for Haley. I checked out the latest strip today, and I was inspired to play catch-up. So… here are the translations for the last three strips in which Haley has appeared.
For those of you who’ve never heard of “The Order of the Stick”… I’m so sorry. Click this banner immediately!
For the rest of you… here are the translations as I see them. Remember… as before, I have listed what Haley said in the strip¦ immediately followed by the translation.
In OotS #251… when the OotS crew decide that enough is enough.
Oze Ktpp ja asf –
You call it the –
Afw xzpd dtod dsf kyjfd!
Ten gold says she cries!
Ofts!
Yeah!
In OotS #260… Haley is quietly working on opening the lock on thier prison cage. (This one took a while to work out… great fun!)
Ufxm ft rwra, fkmt bfe xfxxa…
Come on baby, open for mommy…
In OotS #262… Haley is STILL hoping to unlock thier cell.
Jpz rezncw gpsi! Hxj hpd’e jpz pnbd??
You stupid lock! Why won’t you open??
Qpcdq ep icgg jpz¦
Going to kill you¦
C xfeb Flfvcdq-kzfgcej gpsir!
I hate Amazing-Quality locks!
Qbb, exfdir, dp nubrrzub exbub
Gee, thanks, no pressure there
Wfld ce! PNBD!!
Damn it! OPEN!!
C fl epefggj cd gpyb hcex jpz.
I am totally in love with you.

I just translated #264 – at least, I think I did.
Aqmd. Rmtdwx!
Wait. Listen!
Fqjj mx dow gwrrt! Fqhj! FQGJ!!
Back in the cells! Back! BACK!!
What exactly is the cryptogram/cipher, here? I basically guessed at a couple words, and things fell into place, but it’d be nice to know the “key”, if you will…
January 8th, 2006 at 9:11 am
The “key” changes from strip to strip, and we can only infer the letters that actually appear in Haley’s speech. I haven’t figured out whether there’s a pattern to the key changes yet. BTW your transcription of the ciphertext for “back” is wrong. All three instances should be spelled “fqgj”.
January 11th, 2006 at 11:00 am
Yeah, I’ve been wondering where the Haley translations were. Good to have ‘em back!
I think Rich Burlew actually said that the key changes were more or less random, and he’s definitely been careless with them in the past (some miscodings, etc.). He (rightly) doesn’t think the code is the centerpiece of his strip.
January 18th, 2006 at 5:09 pm
Doh…I can’t believe that I typed all three of them wrong. Fat fingers, I guess.
February 7th, 2006 at 2:33 pm
Can’t find recent translations, so here we go:
#268
Qddd, baxww.
Ewww, gross.
#269 (Someone else came up with this one elsewhere on this site, I repost it here.)
Arwcrxcon!
Fantastic!
#275
Vxv?
Huh?
#277
Zfq bq nzml??
Are we back??

OotS #284 — What a mouthful…
Â
Hey… a new Order of the Stick translati…

Ok, this was exhausting but it’s mush more easier when there is more material:
#284
Zktv?
What?
Fx, ztbv, vktv aupqbev qxusf’v ntou sufsu. Qtzs qxf’v zxpo vktv ztd.
No, wait that doesn’t make sense. Laws don’t work that way.
B’au suuf ufxlck xi nd Vkbuaus’ Clbwq ipbufqs sufv vx jpbsxf vx ofxz vktv vkbs skxlwq ktau huuf t exfabevbxf.
I’ve seen enough of my Thieves’ Guild friends sent to prison to know that this should have been a conviction.
Hlvhlv bv qxusf’v ntou tfd sufsu!
Butbut it doesn’t make any sense!
Fx! B’n fxt XO, vkbs zkxwu vpbtw ntqu FX SUFSU!
No I’m not OK, this whole trial made NO SENSE!

We were guilty! It should have been a guilty verdict! I can understand if they wanted to the circumstances but it should still have been a guilty verdict.
Xk, fuaup nbfq, B qxf’v ofxz zkd B,n hxvkupbfc
Oh, never mind. I don’t know why I’m bothering.

Wait Elan what did you just say?

Oh my gods, Elan! That’s it! Elan you’re a genius!
February 20th, 2006 at 4:47 pm
Correction in second line
Fx, ztbv, vktv aupqbev qxusf’v ntou sufsu. Qtzs qxf’v zxpo vktv ztd.
No, wait, that verdict doesn’t make sense. Laws don’t work that way.

Comic: Rst azq’e tqmgowezqm kg, ws hge kg xtwe wzr efze rst’og z couyum lueaf zqd rsto efuyfw hssp cze uq efze zokso.
Translation: You can’t understand me, so let me just say that you’re a frigid bitch and your thighs look fat in that armor.
Commentary: Rich had the word “zqd”, which should probably be written as “zqm” or else it’s impossible to translate and doesn’t make sense. Otherwise, this is pretty basic Haleyspeak.

Thanks for the translations guys

You guys have been awesome for translations, I’m so bad at cryptograms but I love to know what she is saying, keep it up and thanks.
