"Other content additions, such as new advertising based on a new in-game alphabet, will also debut with this version."

Ummm... Forgive me if I interpreted this wrong... Is the stuff in Vendetta not going to be in English?

No idea. But it sounds cool. Animated billboards would be nice too.

=D

Ummm... Pyro, I'm sure that they are referring to the font used with the game and not the alphabet proper so you can keep your old QWERTY keyboard for a bit longer. 0.o

Of course, I may be wrong, so maybe it's time to invest in that WWII era Enigma maching I saw down at the local flea market. One never knows. Ô.ô

/me whaks paedric: why didn't you buy the enigma encoding machine?
about the alphabet: if it were cipher (cipher, not code... there's a diff), the language could still be english... but we still wouldn't be able to read it.

Um, guys, this may be just like Star Wars's own "alphabet" that everything's written in. Notice Luke's decoder with R2D2 in the Empire Strikes Back. That's what John's talking about, I think.

Itanish!
Serconian!
And uh...
*decides to dodge a bullet*

This would make it so if you decrypted a radio frequency, you would need a way to translate the speaking! :P

Actually, for the time being, we're calling it "Waylonics". Probably gonna have to come up with something better before too long. :)

As to what the new alphabet actually IS, and how it's used.... well, you're just going to have to wait and see.

Hmmm, will the Waylonist bible be printed in Waylonics?

Hooked on Waylonics!

*kid's voice* Look, mommy! I'm learning!

/me starts learning Waylonics so he can read the Waylonist bible in it
Oct 21, 2003 Arolte link
I can't believe nobody said this yet...

Hooked on Waylonics worked for me!
Oct 21, 2003 ctishman link
Um, I did. Two posts ago.
Oct 21, 2003 Eldrad link
can we have a section of the forum in waylonics too?
Oct 21, 2003 Arolte link
Bah, ctishman. Now I have to think of something else.
