Here's the whole thing. Rich should have put "p" where he put "b" in treasure. He also misspelled "freakin'"

Re: Order of the Stick: November II
All I can say is I'm stuck by my computer with a nasty cold and have nothing better to do than crack cyphers. :-[ That said, I thought it was pretty easy.
Except for what's already been posted:

Re: Order of the Stick: November II
I fixed it in the translation, but in the acrostic, the letters would translate to "freaikn'"

Re: Order of the Stick: November II
Strip went up at 5:23, first full translation posted at 6:00.
Looks like I'll have to be more tricky with the next one...
EDIT: However, I did NOT spell "freakin'" wrong, you must have copied it down from the strip wrong.Rich Burlew

Re: Order of the Stick: November II
That was a quick translation. I'm glad I checked in later in the day so I read the comic, check the boards, and reread the comic knowing exactly what she said.
This was a good one. Broken Haley sad, but funny.

I'm glad I didn't read the boards before I got at the comic, because that was so much fun to decode. ;D

At this rate there's going to be a English - Haley cypher translator program out before Monday.

Re: Order of the Stick: November II
Just saw the comic, and felt so proud of myself for deciphering it. I shoulda known somebody would've gotten to it long since. :)
I love cryptograms. (It's not an acrostic, btw.)
Just so you know, Rich, apostrophes make for a really easy point of entry for these things. There are very few letters that can follow one, and not very many that can accompany one period. What's more, they're some of the most common letters. The letter "F" is also a dead giveaway.

Re: Order of the Stick: November II
I just took it to be random gibberish at face value. Hmmph.
EDIT: Then again, I just got home to read it 10 minutes ago, and I usually make a beeline for the forums after reading it once.An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.

Personally, I love the line about bonus langauges. :-) That's too cute.
