Talk:Menacing construct

Anyone have any ideas what these cryptic messages like these mean? PAPAZAK NOGACHA. FUCHANO BUCHOBU BUFULA BEKRONO I remember from one of Jick's radio shows that someone mentioned an "alien language" that they developed. I thought they were joking, but I guess this could be it.--Lemon-claw 16:21, 8 February 2008 (CST)

I have been working on the language in particular, in another discussion some one mention it is not the same code as the trader, I have also confermed that. So other than throwing ideas at my pad of scribbles notes and ideas i am going to as for some help. I have been working on cracking this "language" as if it is a cypher and if it is it would seem it is a sliding cypher because rules change based on what is being done (i am no cryptology expert this is not fact)but i have been studying english word structer and that dictates a vowel every sylable, so i have been counting the frequency of a given letter in a sentance and using it on a cypher sheet to figure out the "key" word. no luck yet. if Jick said they made a language... that changes the rules and the game gets harder. that means sounds like cha bu fu could represent other sounds or letters. any other ideas?

i am also trying to find the tie in, most locations have a theme spooky raven, 8bit world, if we find the theme that may help us figure out this language.

already (quickly) researched IBM punch cards (what is the sugnificents{god my spelling sucks}of the numbers) currently looking up odd constructs.--Baron_heron

Using the El Vibrato translator accessory, this translates to "INTRUDER DETECTED. INITIATING DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOR SEQUENCE" --Missim 05:49, 9 February 2008 (CST)

Has anyone tried buffing the floor or wall before having this construct attack it? Is there any difference/change?--Kes 13:19, 22 April 2008 (CDT)

1st part of outfit

Can almost guarantee that the 1st part of the new outfit that Jick wore (then changed) is dropped from this guy. --Devion 10:34, 9 February 2008 (CST)

• no, all parts of the outfit are constructed by using the right punch cards with the towering drone. --Glitterboy

Critical Hit Message

I have 463 moxie (well over the 407 listed as required for no hit) and was hit by this monster with the message "The construct bellows "CHASOM TAFU CHOCHA ZAKBUBUCHA." It then fires a beam of energy through your skull and directly into your brain. Argh! Ow! Oof! Oof! Ugh! Ow! Argh! You lose 46 hit points."--Knobula 19:51, 12 February 2008 (CST)

Resemblance

Has anyone else noticed that the Menacing Construst bears a striking resemblance to a stormtrooper?--Bronz93 10:51, 21 February 2008 (CST)
