He is a "xiaoxiao guy" (probably) but that doesn't stop him from being the 20X6 alter ego of someone. Stinkoman is a "megaman guy" and 20X6 Marzipan is a "Sailor moon girl" but that don't stop them. And I'm with Sticklyman being that guy's 20X6 alter ego. He shovels a half solid sublstance all day and never speaks - sound familiar?

Hey, since it's 2006, that means that it's 20X6... right... now. It boggles the mind, doesn't it? This pointless comment was produced by {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 21:11, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, if the X is taken as a roman numeral in combination with regular numbers, 20X6 = either 2016 or 2106.

the [[Stinkoman 20X6]] game has its own [[Template:Stinkoman_20X6|template]], and much more recently [[Old-Timey]] got its own [[Template:OldTimey|template]] thanks to [[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]], which is looking good... shouldn't the 20X6 world (not the game) have its own Navigation Template as well?  I think it's big enough it deserves one. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:00, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

The link between him and Stinkoman is acknoledged in their articles. Technically, as the link is real, the place in [[alternate universe]] where both were seen would have been in 20X6 (incidently this means his one 20X6 appearance is more than 20X6 The Cheat's (and to the best of our knowledge 20X6 Coach Z's) 0 cartoon appearances). - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 06:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::::I personally don't like the sudden onslaught of templates either... I think we're kinda pushing it a bit. Some things make good logical sense to group together, like Joshua said. Others... I don't think so. It seems we ARE using some, just coz we can. There are already lists for some of these things, too. Shorts, for example, are all already listed on the [[Toons]] page. Seems to me like the templates are really just trying to do the job that the categories already do... I just think they're getting a little clunky is all. Un...settling. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::Best I can tell, it is after the VectorSB/Stinkoman scene that things go wierd.

:::::::::2 cents: We are going overboard with the templates. I don't mind the SBEmail, PQ, Stinkoman 20X6 (game), and Sightings templates; but things like CC, Old-Timey, and 20X6 are best left to the '''Categories'''. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:43, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::The thing is, all other 20X6 characters are transformed from their original appearances; i.e., they are 20X6 ''versions'' of whoever (possible exception for Sticklyman). This isn't true of Vector Strong Bad. I also want to point out that this ''entire email'' is about the intersection of different universes. The line between dimensions is blurred as soon as Strong Bad appears in the Strong Badman comic. Finally, notice that when he and Stinkoman meet, it is not on Planet K, but in StrongBadZone. Really, if it were to go either way, it would make more sense to add Stinkoman to the StrongBadZone universe (not that I'm advocating that, either). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:03, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::The only problem I have with that is the clear statement of (paraphrased) "We know each other. He's my training simulator".

::::::Everything in the 20X6 universe, save Sticklyman, is an anime parody. Which makes sense, given its [[japanese cartoon|origin]]. Vector Strong Bad is ''not'' an anime parody, so isn't part of the 20X6 thing. Though, Tbird makes a good point, perhaps some mention should be made that the 20X6 and Vector thingies are somehow linked, but Vector Strong Bad should certainly not be considered a 20X6 character.

:{{User:Joshua/sig}} - Okay, going through your list from top to bottom, here's my opinion:
+
-
* Strong Bad Email #1 - '''Delete''' These things don't really go together too well. They just aren't related closely enough. I.E, I don't really see Floppy Disc Container relating to SBEmails by Length enough to share a template. I know they were grouped together before, but then it was under "Additional Information," not "Strong Bad Emails." Am I making sense here?
+
== Coach Z + Shadowy figure? ==
-
* Peasants Quest - '''Keep''' It has a purpose. Although I'm not sure if the "Scalding Lake" link is nessecary.
+
-
* Teen Girl Squad - '''Partial Delete''' At least the Characters part. The Issue section is actually okay.
+
-
* Limozeen - '''Delete''' Not needed at all.
+
-
* Sightings - '''Keep''' Useful.
+
-
* Cheat Commandos - '''Delete''' Pushing the limits here...
+
-
* Marzipan's Answering Machine - '''Keep''' A-okay. Although I don't like how the ''12.2'' hangs out like that.
+
-
* Main Characters - '''Delete''' I know this one's been around a while, but I don't think we really need it.
+
-
* Toons & Shorts - '''Delete''' For reasons stated above
+
-
* Videlectrix Games - '''Keep''' I actually like this one. Many of these games are little known and closely connected.
+
-
* Stinkoman 20X6 - '''Keep''' Very useful.
+
-
* Main Pages - '''Neutral''' I don't know about this one. It's sort of like Shorts and Toons, but I like it for some reason.

-
* Old Timey - '''Delete''' No. Just, no.

-
* Strong Bad Emails #2 - '''Keep''' Probably the best template out there.

Revision as of 04:37, 17 June 2007

Ding! 20X6 is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute.


Are we sure that Sticklyman is 20X6 The Poopsmith? I remember there was some debate about this when Under Construction first came out. I always thought he was just supposed to be a XiaoXiao guy. --Dark Grapefruit

It still is debated. See: Talk:Stickly Man. I think the wording on the article is sufficient until we get more info. - Drhaggis 13:40, 26 Oct 2004 (MST)

Note: Stop making non-canon (not from the cartoons) additions to the 20X6 pages.--Hysterical Woman 13:38, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)

He is a "xiaoxiao guy" (probably) but that doesn't stop him from being the 20X6 alter ego of someone. Stinkoman is a "megaman guy" and 20X6 Marzipan is a "Sailor moon girl" but that don't stop them. And I'm with Sticklyman being that guy's 20X6 alter ego. He shovels a half solid sublstance all day and never speaks - sound familiar?

A Discussion Waiting to be Discussed

We've seen Nebulon in Main Page 1 and LimoZeen But They're in Space which are both in present time. But we also see Nebulon on the game Stinkoman 20X6. I think this should qualify Nebulon to be a 20X6 character as well as a present-day. Cheatachu72 13:23, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wierd

Hey, since it's 2006, that means that it's 20X6... right... now. It boggles the mind, doesn't it? This pointless comment was produced by Gnome o' Fury 21:11, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, if the X is taken as a roman numeral in combination with regular numbers, 20X6 = either 2016 or 2106.
Or X could be a variable as in algebra, where it would probably be a later decade. - Joshua 21:59, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Or 2066.


Strong Mad/Sad

Do you think that Stinkoman has brothers like Strong Bad's? If so, what do you think that Strong Mad and Sad's counterparts are like? Sorry about the stupid question. -zyborg


Vector Strong Bad, add to 20X6 character list?

The link between him and Stinkoman is acknoledged in their articles.

If we consider alernate universe as any indication, then Old Timey Strong Bad is a storybook cherecter, as well as Keyboard Strong Bad, and all Strong Bads appear in the same time periode. Elcool (talk)(contribs) 07:30, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes, and we then have the "slippery slope". 20X6 Coach Z is undeniably in the 20X6 universe. But events in alternate universe are not necessarily representative of how they "really" are. Connections found in that email which are not supported elsewhere probably ought to be seen as apocryphal. Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 09:25, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
