Deletion Discussion
I believe we discussed not to make a page about this...anyway, I don't think its necessary to have a walkthrough for SBCG4AP, even if its a direct copy of the Telltale WT. Although, we could just link to the TTG walkthrough for the sake of not wasting a page. DevonM(talk·cont-ribs) 02:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well what about a more complete walkthrough? One that explains EVERYTHING to do in the game? Including the secret hidden stuff not included in TellTales walkthrough... --TheDenzel

- That is a bit more than a mighty undertaking. - Qermaq - (T/C)
04:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well isn't that what this wiki does? You documented everything in Peasant's Quest.... why should this be any different, if not more important? --TheDenzel 04:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- We do not reinvent wheels, though, and this article duplicates effort by a company which benifits TBC, and so this article can be seen as a conflict of interest. The walkthrough exists. Just as the toons exist online already, and there is no need nor desire to mirror them here, the walkthrough can also be linked to, and none will be the wiser. We do no service to TBC by duplicating their efforts. To get to the achievement suggested, we need to move through that, and I'm not sure it's in our best interest. I'd like to see us document the various obscure references, but as a walkthrough might be too much. - Qermaq - (T/C) 04:23, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well then why not use this page, or something similar to point out secrets, and transcribe the various events that happen in the game. --TheDenzel 04:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I'm kind of the guy that made the walkthrough currently seen on this article, and I'm all for taking that down and retooling it so it's just about the hidden items and refrences, since the whole original walkthrough was made before I knew TTG had ones for their own games. I was posting the walkthrough section because Peasant's Quest and Stinkoman both had their own walkthroughs on the wiki.-LavosXII 05:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- What I don't understand is why we can't have our own walkthrough. Of course we won't duplicate the walkthrough on Telltale's website, word for word: that's stealing. But why we aren't we allowed to have a walkthrough of our own that users can edit and improve? To me, that's like saying "There's no need for a walkthrough on Peasant's Quest, we can just link to the walkthrough on Gamefaqs!" Besides, Gamefaqs will have their own walkthroughs on Homestar Ruiner within the next few weeks. It's not like Telltale has the monopoly of walkthroughs of their own games. – The Chort 12:27, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. --TheDenzel 18:34, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, this VERY SAME WALKTHROUGH is now on GameFAQs. I think it appeared here first (I'm guessing that it's the same author?) I'm not against us having our own version, but it needs massive cleanup for a Wiki page, given it seems to have been created as a text document. --Jay (Gobble) 18:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- It was uploaded on GameFAQs before I put the walkthrough portion here. The GameFAQs version only just showed up because of their content review system, and yes, it was originally made as a .txt file which is why it looks so odd. -LavosXII 22:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- {{drops a train on 'em} I think that, yes, we should link to the Telltale walkthrough, and make this page an "extras" walkthrough, with everything Telltale hasn't put up yet. Once they do, however, we delete this page and link to both Telltale walkthroughs on Homestar Ruiner. In short, do what they haven't done, and get rid of ours once they do it. SuperfieldCreditUnion
- I already started putting a bunch of the extras in there. Once we come to a decision we can do whatever we want to it. But for now Im putting stuff in it. -Philip8o

- Again, I explain: Whether or not other sites mirror the Telltale walkthrough or provide their own, that's not what this Wiki is about. We are not supposed to have content that replaces TBC content, and the Telltale walkthrough is a form of TBC content. Enhancing is great, and the extra bits on this article are worthy. But the basic walkthrough is not. No, Telltale does not have a monopoly on walkthroughs. But we, unlike GameFAQs, are a wiki dependent on TBC, and as such our hosting a walkthrough which already exists on a TBC-related site isn't in Telltale's, TBC's, or our, best interest. Keep extras but delete the basic walkthrough. - Qermaq - (T/C) 03:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Manual pages
- Bubs gives it to you after you beat the game.
I'm about 95% sure I received this before completing the game, but I'll have to wait until I replay to know for sure if I'm just remembering incorrectly. Does anyone else remember? 
Green Helmet 18:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I completed the manual before the game proper. You have to speak to Homestar about it, then Marzipan, then Coach Z, and finally Bubs, in that order. --Jay (Gobble) 18:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, first you've got to play Snake Boxer 5, otherwise SB won't realize it's missing. SuperfieldCreditUnion
- Maybe you can get it elsewhere and if you miss it Bubs gives it too you after the game is beat. Because I know for a fact that Bubs can give it to you. Try not getting it the other way and then talking to Bubs after the game is beat. He'll give it to you. It's probably just a way to get it if you missed it. Remember that if this is true then we need to note it. -Philip8o
- Well, first you've got to play Snake Boxer 5, otherwise SB won't realize it's missing. SuperfieldCreditUnion
Teen Girl Squad
Shouldn't we include how to get all four Teen Girl Squad cards? SuperfieldCreditUnion
- Yes. Yes, we should. --Jay (Gobble) 19:16, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- I did it, but I still haven't gotten the Candy Bar card myself, and I don't think I got each card with it's location. And I think they're out of order. In short, it needs some clean-up. SuperfieldCreditUnion
Easter Eggs
I put a section for Easter Eggs up. I only know one off the top off my head. There are more though. I think we need to define what a Easter Egg is first though. I'm not sure if what I said fits. Cause there are a lot of things that don't get you anything or advance the story, That I don't think are easter eggs. (Like looking at the Microwave) I don't know. -Philip8o
List of Ranks?
Should we keep a list of the ranks you can attain in the game? Here are the ones I know:
Academic Biathlete: 1st
Polar Bear Vaulter: Somewhere near the beginning
Chainsaw Bocce Bowler: 2nd to last
Trogdor Polo Chuncker: Last
