Say WHAT?





I’ve spent a lot of time tr-r-rying to make heads or-r tails of this book, but it’s no use, we’r-r-re going to have to get it tr-r-ranslated. I talked to the Element Mage but he says he specializes in Ancient Saher-r-ric and doesn’t recognize this dialect at all!



It wasn’t a total waste, though! He pointed me to towar-r-rd Alexander-r-r at the Centr-ropolis Public Libr-rar-ry. He has access to all kinds of ancient texts and is quite a collector-r-r fr-rom what I under-r-r-rstand.



Hmm, I wonder-r-r if he had a copy of this book all along? Wouldn’t that be embar-r-r-rassing?

I just got it without any punctuation, all in capital letters, and without changing any letters to the grammatically correct ones.

so did you count the syllables or puzzle at the last line ;)

@Ryxe
If you mean replacing certain letters with the ones that have been crossed out, I've already done that ^^' Unless you mean something else? Either way, thanks for the help

Evidently I'm not good at these kinds of puzzles lol

Ooh and the cane topper is perfect for Interrobang's treasure chest ♥ Yay for question marks!
Horror_902
I don't think that's quite right. Why don't you keep trying?

Listen to me you little vested otter mutation, I've done this FOUR times. I'm about ready to scream.

@kbbob

Oh! Thank you very much. :)

@Brazen

Pay attention to the letters that are scribbled out.

Took me forever to figure out what to do about that haiku... but that was FUN!

Apparently there is a problem with people who don't have enough sP not being able to talk to a certain someone. Can anyone on Staff verify if this is intentional or can be fixed??
Abaven
I keep saying "Libr-rar-ry" over and over and giggling like an idiot. It just sounds so funny.

(I'm sorry, Connor. I don't mean to make fun of you)
Willow
Love love looooove Alexanfers redraw huggles him SO CUTE!
FENNEC
I just wanted to ask, what was the inspiration behind the Ponderous Cane Topper description? or was there one?
Vaixation
Meanwhile the haikus are hecka easy if you know Subeta well.
Georgie
well, that was fun!

I can't seem to figure out the last riddle.. help?
Zevran_893
@Almond, @SHIBITO
Thanks for the tips but it still doesn't seem to be working for me o.o

I've tried line breaks, no line breaks, leaving the word broken, replacing the correct letters, and not replacing them. So far nothing has worked so I must be missing something that I can't see. I'll probably take a break and the redo the whole thing later lol

My favorite part? A few of the obscure "language" symbols look a lot like some of the symbols in Memory.

I LOVE CONTINUITY

This is so fun!!! weeeeee!

O my god, Alexander's revamp! <3 LOVE it, he's so cute!
Vaixation
Nevermind my friend just gave me the answer. :|
Chibois
i feel like an idiot... my custom css was hiding the submit button and i kept hitting the back button instead, disabled all my css and no problems, then powered thru the haikus.

@Almond

Haiku answers i got
Erelyna
Woops, I mean I put spaces, but not punctuation.
Hamda
It's 3am over here and you're asking me to THINK!
Erelyna
If it helps, I just put all the text in with no spaces, no changing letters(so all 'v's stayed that way), and I didn't leave in the gap in one word.
Vaixation
Okay so things I have tried:

  • not changing the spacing or lettering whatsoever
  • removing the linebreaks in the above format
  • using linebreaks to match where they're actually located on the piece of paper
  • changing the letters to the correct ones
  • correct letters + split in word
  • correct letters + no split
  • incorrect letters + no split
  • incorrect letters + split


SERIOUSLY? WHAT FORMAT DO YOU WANT THIS IN, SUBETA?
Julie
Unlocked Offer A Translation!
Translate the text that Alexander shows you using his codex.
Cool. OMG.
Kevin
@Kittyclaws911
figure out who the haiku is about, and go talk to them :)
Hemophage
I can't figure out this riddle -.-
BurialApplicant
After the fourth line translating the codes started to get really easy. Nice and simple, I liked it.
Abaven
I do have a question though. Once we get to the haiku, what do we do next? I don't see a continue-conversation button or a link to anywhere else.
Carpathia
Alexander's new art! I just wanna hug it so much! :heart:
Kevin
done, can we have more challengers now :(
Abaven
After a while, I was able to automatically just read the symbols as normal letters. It's like my brain just adapted to it. Weird...Maybe I can be Jaxon's pen pal now? heehee.

Simple and fun in my opinion. :)
Stiles
Okay so Idk the step yet but Alexander is the first Ontra I've seen with the new revamp that I actually think looks really adorable! :) Good job!
Vaixation
I've corrected the words + kept the gap on the last one and it's still not accepting it. WHAT am I doing wrong? Wtf.
worm
@Aerows @Chibois @brazen it does not require anything more than what it says on the page, so no changing any letters to proper english or punctuation. though the 1 broken word (split in 2 lines) i think makes a difference

the haiku has me stumped
callie
Okay... I went to the library quests and did all 10 of them... But there's nothing else there? Am I missing something?

mfw 'riddle me this' - favorite achievement name
Beckyyy
@Chibois - correct the characters so it makes the proper words and it will accept.

Keep the gap on the last one
SHIBITO
@Aerows @brazen
no punctuation, etc needed (:
Tserel
ALEXANDER'S LITTLE BOWTIE AND VEST OMG. HE LOOKS JUST LIKE MY HIGHSCHOOL PHILOSOPHY TEACHER?????????
Chibois
i translated, put it in the box, and it doesnt wanna accept the translation. does it need to be direct or fix letters for it to make sense? do i remove the new lines? why does it hate me?
ShesUniique
I'm confused what I have to do with the riddle..
Raze
Well, we at least know the book is older than the invention of spell check.
Beary
Alexander = Super cute!
Codex = Done
Haiku = Has me stumped XD
Zevran_893
Does it require correct punctuation, like commas and periods? Because I've got the message down but I keep getting the "I don't think that's quite right" message. I've double-checked my spelling and I've searched for mistakes and I can't find any.

Also Alexander is hella cute. Props to the artist!
InSaNe
I tried for 3 minutes and didn't get it, where's the skip button ????????
