Now that IS scary

Holy freaking cow. No wonder it was taking them such a long time. This is gonna be a nightmare (in a good way) to wiki, what with the Inside Ref.s and the Real World Ref.s and the like... —AbdiViklas 06:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Quick, find whoever did The House That Gave Sucky Treats's transcript and let them have a go here... --DorianGray

P.S. May I also not say that I am not, in any way, mean. --My real name is Sean

That was Krem. Yes, I actually bothered to go to the old wiki, look it up (which was really easy since the credit is given at the bottom of the page), and then checked that user name against the current user list here. 'Twas the same person. (Of course it helped that right there on his/her current user page it says: "I did about 2/3 of the transcript for The House that Gave Sucky Treats".) Wow, I can't believe I actually did that. Just goes to show you just how fried my brain is at 1:47 in the morning. — User:ACupOfCoffee @ 07:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Homestar's transformations

I've figured out that what Homestar turns into at the very end depends on what "essence" you get from Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat. "Essence of Doo-Doo Meringue" results in Tofu Homestar, "Essence of Strong Mad's Finger Dipped in a Glass of Warm Water" (or however it went) gives you a Marzipan with really bad teeth and a weird voice, and "Essence of Gullibility" leads to classy French Homestar. Someone might want to double check this just to make sure, though -- I only went through it 4 times.

Yeah, that is a bit off. I got Essence of Strong Mad Prank and it resulted in Tofu Homestar. Azure Haights 06:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't think that's it. I went through once with each item, and got The Goblin, Tofu Homestar, and a cyclops Homestar. I bet a decompiler will help this one. Maybe. I dunno exactly what they do. --DorianGray

Essence of DooDoo got me the goblin, and SM prank got me One eye Homestar, so that theory is out.

Username -talk 06:53, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

What the?? I got Tofu Homestar each of my 3 times. I guess this thing has more potential than I thought! (Maybe it has to do with how you combine the choices? I picked the same number each time—i.e. AAA, BBB, CCC, etc. —AbdiViklas 06:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

3^5=243 combinations. Let's divide and conquer!

If anyone knows how those online quizzes work, I bet it's like that. I've always wondered how they worked... Random answers match you to the perfect character. --DorianGray

Ghost(1), Herbs+Spices, DooDoo Merigne(1),1,3 = Marzipan Clone w/ bad teeth

Wait, guys, if we're really going to do this, let's make a table. And use numbers (1-3), as above. —AbdiViklas 07:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

All I know is that this sure sounds like something Jonathan Howe would be behind. Have fun figuring it out. -- Tom 07:04, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Right. This could be a complicated table... I'm-a try it on paper first. Y'know, list all the combinations: 11111, 11112, etc. You guys start the table. --DorianGray

It seems as though the result is dependent on the sum of the choices. A sum divisible by 5 results in tofu homestar, 12 (and presumably 7) results in french homestar, and 11 (and presumably 6) results in cyclops homestar. I have personally tested 2,2,2,2,3 (cyclops homestar), and used the information provided by other users for this conclusion.

I'm going to sleep have fun. --24.21.231.89 07:35, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

hehe, one more, I did 1,1,1,1,3 again (my 2nd time) and got French Homstar this time, I'm wondering if they are all random? something to check into. Night--24.21.231.89 07:53, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

1	1	1	1	1	Tofu Homestar

Homestar's transformations (Long Raw List)

This is a comprehensive list of all combinations of choices one can make to help Homestar recover the magic potion recipe.

1,1,1,1,1=Tofu Homestar

1,1,1,1,2=One Eyed Homestar

1,1,1,1,3=One Eyed Homestar , Mazipan Clone w/ Bad Teeth, French Homestar!! Is this randomish??

I got french homestar 3 times consecutively. The odds of this being a random occurence, assuming an equal weighting of all 5 results, would be (.2)^3=.8%, and, considering that french homestar is in agreement with the "sum" theory, I think the previous results were user mistakes deriving from the late hour which this toon was released.

Transformations theory...

As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. Rocketlex 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Halloween Costumes

Someone put up the halloween costume list in the fun facts. I removed it, because that belongs in the halloween costumes article. -- DJ Teh Cheat

Also, i noticed that someone put costume defenitions in the outside references. do these belong here, or should we keep them on the halloween costumes page? -- The Same Guy as the Last Thing

Homestar Variations

Should we plan on making seperate stub articles for French Homestar, One eyeball Homestar, and Freaky Marzipan? or should we wait and see if they ever reappear? -- DJ Teh Cheat
