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.
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
- 1,1,2,1,1 = One Eyed Homestar, 3,3,1,3,2 = Classy French Homestar, 2,2,3,2,3 = Classy French Homestar
- 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)
- Ghost(1), Herbs+Spices, DooDoo Merigne(1),1,3 = Marzipan Clone w/ bad teeth

- 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
- 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)
- 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)

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)
