6000 points
Should it be mentioned here which deaths to use where, in order to get the full 6000 points? NoMayonnaise 
- Yes, I should think so. If this page doesn't already have a summary section like the last one, it should get one. --DorianGray 22:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- I never studied that area, so I don't know what it could be. You're more than welcome to put it up here, if you know it. If not, it's just another reason why this article needs cleanup. That Game Dude 386

- By the way, Dorian Gray (no pun intended), the deaths this time are already categorized into major and minor deaths, so we only need an explanation & point transcripts, instead of the summary. That Game Dude 386 16:45, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- We should be consistent between both articles (and future sbcg4ap tgs's).

Suggested Improvements
(1) Currently the page says that if no girls die, it's -20 points. But I got this result when I gave a girl the ribbon during Scene 3, with no other girls dying along the way. (2) There's a Results category missing.. what about when there are less than four deaths, and one/some of those deaths are major? (3) How about using the Tablet/Chisel after the other is used on a different girl? (4) I think some things need to be indented for readability.

- 1: Note this as "-20 points: If no girls or only 1 girl dies a minor death.
- 2: Try it out; mark it. 'Tis the way of HR Wiki.
- 3: "If used alone" is the exact same.
- 4:Edit the article if you must, but mark it as minor.
- There you are, Viklaus. That Game Dude 386 19:02, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- OF: I think some of your comments were made prior to some recent additions to the article (1) looks like the article is inaccurate in that case — the cases of 1,2,3 and 4 major deaths I am certain are correct though (2) This is there now, (3) Tablet/Chisel now have independent sections, I think it's clear now (what happens is exactly what is on the transcript), (4) Yeah, same is true of the Homestar Ruiner one come to think of it. I think doing it the way the responses are done might help. Green Helmet 19:16, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think enough research has been done in the Results category. I have now found that not all four have to die in order to get 18 or 41 points. I don't know what it takes and I'm sorry, but I ain't gonna be the one do the research, I can only stomach so much of the same exact thing over and over again. And as far as the tablet/chisel go, it's the word "before" that's inaccurate. Maybe "independent of" would work better?

- I changed the headings of the Results section to be less specific, and hopefully completely accurate now. I admit I didn't try every single possible combination of them (which is a lot of repetition), but all of the different responses need to be there, and they need something as headers... Green Helmet 19:44, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll do it. Give me some time and I'll get every combination of minor/major with/without Darwin, and I'll report back. Luckily, right clicking interrupts the dialogue. First, I need to eat something, though. OptimisticFool 20:03, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- Forget it. I thought I was almost done when I discovered that not all major deaths are equal in value. And it could be the same with minor deaths. And maybe certain non-deaths have point values, I dunno. Maybe if we tested all combinations of all cards with all Teen Girls in all scenes we could reach a solid conclusion. Does anyone think there's a chance of getting the info from the source? OptimisticFool 21:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- Don't feel bad. You'd need the super-geniuses who figured out Halloween Potion-ma-jig's order. At their IQ level, their brains probably A-SPLODE'D!. That Game Dude 386 21:59, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Linking
Shouldn't this article have links to the other SBCG4AP Teen Girl Squad like Strong Bad Emails and Teen Girl Squad articles do? I don't know how to do those yet... That Game Dude 386 
21:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- With the SBCG4AP episodes, it was agreed not to do this until we had at least three episode pages (which we now do). We don't have three SBCG4AP TGS pages yet, so no "quicklinks". If we were to put them in now, both "forward" and "backward" would point to the same place! --Jay (Gobble) 21:59, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Oh. Didn't know that. All I knew was that is was WAY hard to write the body text without easily staying true to the first article. In fact, I couldn't. Kudos to Dorian Gray or Green Helmet (can't remember which) for doing that after I was done. As soon as the next one's out, though, even when it's as empty as it was before I came[1] it goes up. Owch. That Game Dude 386 22:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

NO ARROW'D!! (Ow! My lack of spine!)
Is it notable that this is the first (of two) SBCG4AP episodes not to include the Arrow'd Guy? I daresay it is NOT notable that it's the third TGS overall; first times are insteresting, but not seconds and thirds so much. --Jay (Gobble) 21:55, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, it is! Such is a rare event, and if he makes an appearence in Baddest of the Bands' TGS and any of the other urrealeased SBCG4AP TGSs, it is a first. That Game Dude 386 22:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- What I find particularly interesting is that the Arrow'd Guy carries no significance in either of these games. In Homestar Ruiner, he has a minor role for one item that doesn't even result in a death. And he doesn't even appear in Cave Girl Squad. This is different from the toons, where he usually is involved in a major death.
- As to any notability... Sure. I'd include it. --DorianGray 22:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Thomas
In the thing it talks about how the card appears as Alien, not Thomas. However it's entirely possible that the alien isn't Thomas, just of the same species.
- Yet the art design is unbelivably simmiler, it's hard to beleive otherwise. More than likely, it was labeled as 'alien' so as not to confuse those non-H*R.com fans. Therefore, it is a remark rather than a goof.That Game Dude 386 00:06, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
The Little Prince
Could the drawing of an snake digesting a girl whole be modeled after the above novel's pilot's drawing of a snake digesting an elephant?

- I have to admit, the thought crossed my mind as well.. but I'm not sure it looks similar enough. OptimisticFool 23:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- ...I'm gonna say "no", as an anaconda eating a large animal is a common gag; I doubt that TBC intended to reference that. That Game Dude 386 00:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Point Scoring Arguments
Looking at the history of the article's page, and at this one, we clearly need to discuss the contradictions and discoveries of the CGS scoring system, without taking up too many minor edits. The more accurate this article is, the better. And besides, if some minor deaths have better scoring, we may be missing transcript. Time to do some research! That Game Dude 386 13:57, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- The first matter of business: the actual numerical score Strong Bad gives is irrelevant. The second: there are nine main deaths, plus the one with Darwin whenever the Egg is done. That's a lot of things to test, and when Strong Bad is giving scores that don't really reflect anything beyond "bigger numbers = better", it's going to take a long time to decipher. Do you even have any evidence that some minor deaths score higher than others? --Jay (Gobble) 16:36, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
BRAIN OUT OF NOSE WITH A HOOK!
Being an Ancient Egypt fan ever since I started wacthing Yu-Gi-Oh, I feel an explanation to this is nessecary, so here goes: The ancient Egyptians believed that the heart did the person's thinking. They also didn't think much of the brain, so during the mummification process, they stuck a hook-like instrument up the deceased's nose, then swished it around so the brain would come out. Put it on the article, please. Now, I'm off to Newgrounds!!!
