== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' There once was a man named email, and he did his best for a while.

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Strong Bad, 
So, if you're so good with the ladies, 
how come I never see you with any? The 
only female I've seen even near you is 
Marzipan, and she doesn't seem to 
like you very much. 
 
Ok, bye. 
Emily C., Ohio</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stumbles with the second sentence, saying "The only female I've eev see sageento—". He starts the sentence over, this time without stumbling. Also, he pronounces "Ohio" as "Owa-hoh"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What are you talkin about, Emily? Marzipan can't keep her hands offa me! In fact, I had to change my screen name cause she was buggin me so much. ''{clears screen}'' I'd be like, tryin' to write an email like... ''{typing}'' "Dear The Cheat" ''{stops typing}'' And then—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: 'sup strong bad? i heart you so much."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — it'd come up, and I'd be like close the window. ''{closes message, continues typing}'' "Anyways, The Cheat, I was going"—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: i like all your muscles," Strong Bad closes it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — "to ask you"—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: do you go hooray 4 dolphins? i do," Strong Bad closes it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — "if I could borrow"—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: (a long string of characters typed in Webdings font)," Strong Bad closes it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — "that big knife"—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: are you trying to fade me?," Strong Bad closes it, clears the screen, and continues typing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if that's not enough proof ''{types "enüff prüf"}'', just watch this...

''{Scene cuts to Marzipan out in the field next to a sign laying against a cinder block saying '''Free Concert For Birds'''}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Oh yeah, oh yeah, and I really don't like him at all.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{Combs back nonexistent "hair" and puts his comb into the back of his pants}'' Is that another song about Homestar?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, it's about you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' About being in love with me?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's disgusting. And I don't like your outfit.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not telling you my new screen name.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... I don't even know what a scream name is, so there you go. And if you'd please leave now, because I'm tinkering with my guitar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, well? Say you like me.

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, leave me alone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Say you like me?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then do you like ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Bad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No! You're just saying your name fast. Go away.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What about that guy who's brothers with Strong Mad and ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Sad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's still you! No!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then how about this one? Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh... I guess...

'''STRONG BAD:''' See! I told you you loved me! Ooh! I knew it all along! Wait until my friend Emily from Ohio ''{pronounces it "O-hee-oh"}'' hears this!!! Oooh, I knew she loves me! ''{gibberish}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Whatever... Come on Carol, let's rock.

''{Scene cuts back to Strong Bad's computer room. Three messages pop up from The Cheat:}''

'''cheatachu72:''' yo SB! you there? you still want that knife? 
'''cheatachu72:''' ello? 
'''cheatachu72:''' i gots to jet. makin' a video for a client 
'''cheatachu72 has signed off''' ''{sign off is punctuated by a vocalized imitation of AOL Instant Messenger's sign off sound}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

''{After a while, a message pops up from Strong Sad:}''

'''depressio111117:''' vinegar toast? did you really think i'd fall for that?

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on "video for a client" in The Cheat's last message to see a [[Powered by The Cheat]] music video for Marzipan's song. See also the [[Oh Yeah Yeah Visuals|visuals]] from the music video.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Come on, Carol, let's rock.
:''{Marzipan sings:}''
:Yeah yeah
:Yeah yeah
:Oh yeah
:Oh yeah
:Oh yeah
:Oh yeah

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
[[Image:don't decode this.png|thumb|Don't decode this]]
*The Webdings message translates to:<blockquote>'''hooray4dolphins:''' i seriou sly hope you didn't somehow decode this. it would make me real sad.</blockquote>
*Strong Sad's message is a reference to how [[Mike Chapman]] once tried to feed his brother [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] cupcakes with toothpaste in them, only to have the younger brother retaliate with vinegar toast. (From [[Atlanta Journal Constitution Interview - 21 Jul 2003|ajc interview]])
*When this email first came out, [[The Brothers Chaps]] registered the AIM screen name hooray4dolphins. It was always online with an away message, saying that Marzipan wasn't really using that screen name, since she doesn't use computers.
*This email marks the first appearance of Marzipan's guitar [[Carol]]. She had previously been seen in [[The Luau]] playing a ukelele with an M on it.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad says that "Marzipan can't keep her hands offa" him, but Marzipan [[Lack of Visible Arms|doesn't have any visible hands]].
*Besides "Do you like Strong Bad," the [[Wikipedia:Double negative#Triple and quadruple negatives|quadruple negative]] "Don't not dislike not Strong Bad" could be interpreted to mean that Marzipan dislikes everyone except Strong Bad, rather than specifically liking him.
*In The Cheat's video, Marzipan's guitar reads "Carl" instead of "Carol".
*In the shot when Marzipan claims she doesn't know what a screen name is, the field behind her is a much older version of the current field.

===Glitches===
*If you turn up the contrast at the very end of the email when the IMs are on the screen, the IM boxes don't change with the rest of the screen. They just stay black.
**Strong Bad's reflection is also not visible in the IMs, even though they are the same color as the screen.
* Also, after Strong Sad's message pops up, if you watch Marzipan's video, Strong Sad's message reappears afterwards.
*Marzipan blinks over her closed eyes ''twice''.

===Inside References===
*When hooray4dolphins Instant Messages Strong Bad, she says "Are you trying to fade me?", which is a reference to the name of [[Coach Z]]'s new hit single, "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]", included on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] CD.
*Marzipan's "Free Concert for Birds" sign leans up against a cinder block, just like the [[stop sign]] in [[Strong Badia]].
*This email mentions a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].
*The Cheat's screen name, cheatachu72, was originally seen in the email [[i she be]].
*Strong Sad's screen name is the same as his email address, as shown in [[depressio]].
*The title of the pop-ups is the first appearance of the word [[Thyme]].
*The [[Name Tags|"Hello, my name is _____" sticker]] in the Easter egg first appeared in [[The Luau]].

===Real-World References===
*The IM boxes that pop up on Strong Bad's computer look like those seen in [[Wikipedia:Windows 3.x|Microsoft Windows 3.X]], which definitely fits with Strong Bad's computer, as the 3.X series was made for the then-state-of-the-art [[Wikipedia:Intel 80386|386]] PCs.
*This email is the second time we see The Cheat's screen name, which is cheatachu72. This is obviously a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]] [[Wikipedia:Pikachu|Pikachu]], to whom The Cheat shares an incredible likeness.
*Marzipan's supposed screen name, "hooray4dolphins", is an example of [[Internet Slang]].

===Fast Forward===
*[[Oh yeah yeah|Marzipan's song]] would later be on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]].
*Marzipan holds another free concert in [[Seasonal Sweaters]].
*"Cheatachu72" is also The Cheat's username when he bids on the breakfast burrito in [[english paper]].
*Strong Bad uses "Video Thyme" (similar to "Message Thyme") to communicate with Larry in [[death metal]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
**The commentary continues into the "Yeah Yeah" music video Easter egg.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Marzipan]])

'''MIKE:''' Marzipan.

'''MATT:''' Speaking of Marzipan, look who's here.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, guys.

'''MIKE:''' Hi—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Hi, Marzipan.

'''MIKE:''' How does it feel to be featured in your very own Strong Bad Email?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It feels about normal.

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It's got your name. It's got your name all over it.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' There it is, I'm pointing to it right now.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I see. I, uh—I thought this was a particularly thoughtful email.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' And, um, I thought the costume design was very good.

'''MIKE:''' There's... Yeah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' My—my outfit.

'''MIKE:''' It's the same one you're always wearing.

'''MATT:''' Well... It's a good outfit, right?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... Sometimes I change.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, okay.

'''MATT:''' Oh, an interesting note about that last one that popped up was, uh, it spelled out something, and, what was it—

'''MIKE:''' It was in, like—

'''MATT:''' —it spelled out "I really hope you didn't translate this. That would make me sad." And of course—

'''MIKE:''' And it was in, like, Webdings—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Or some Dingbats or something and people translated it.

'''MATT:''' It made me really sad.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Did you notice you reversed my eyes on this one?

'''MATT:''' I—look, I—

'''MIKE:''' I think they are—

'''MATT:''' I don't know...

'''MIKE:''' I think we did something wrong.

'''MATT:''' But they'd be—make sense in perspective, right? The smaller eyes...

'''MIKE:''' But that wasn't why—that's not why...

'''MATT:''' She just has one—one eye smaller than the other?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, just like Strong... Just like Strong Ma—er, uh...

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's why I get confused later, because I can barely see Strong Bad while I'm talking to him.

'''MATT:''' Oh-ho, see Mike, it's ''your'' fault. You put her eyes on backwards.

'''MIKE:''' Well... uh, we'll look into that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Plus everyone forgot to bring the birds in that day, so no one showed up. There were no extras.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I don't think anyone wanted to hear your song, maybe.

'''MATT:''' Mmm, it was a pretty good song.

'''MIKE:''' How was the, uh, did you market it very much? That concert? What promoter did you use?

'''MATT:''' Pass out flyers?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well...

'''MATT:''' Go down to the Whole Foods?

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to realize this is all acting. You know, this is just not what I usually do.

'''MATT:''' What do you usually do?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well I'm usually gardening.

'''MATT:''' So is—is the playing a guitar all just part of your character?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah. I mean, I play it sometimes, but...for this, you know. I'm—I have a much better guitar than that, usually.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' What's its name?

'''MIKE:''' Carol... Is that just a prop?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It ''is'' a prop.

'''MATT:''' What's your guitar's name?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh, Joan.

'''MIKE:''' Carol and Joan, huh?

=== Easter Egg Commentary ===
'''MIKE:''' So here's your video...Marzipan.

'''MATT:''' The Cheat misspelled the name of your—your prop guitar there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he calls it Carl.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I know, I know. That's okay.

'''MATT:''' Did you help, like, do the art direction on this one?

'''MIKE:''' ''{almost simultaneously}'' Have you ever been before?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh, uh, I did actually. I—I like The Cheat a lot. ''{slight pause}'' See? There was only one bird there.

=== Fun Facts ===
*[http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/ Whole Foods] is a grocery store specializing in organic food (the kind of place Marzipan would shop).

== Freebies 1 ==
We need to list all the Freebies you can get with your order. As far as the keychains go, I only know of the Strongbadia Stop sign. --[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Wierd, cause i only know the homestar one. I have 2 of them. lol Is the strongbadia stopsign shaped like a star also, but with homestar's head replaced with the sign? --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]]

:No, the [[Stop Sign]] keychain looks like the Stop Sign. It is shaped like the Stop Sign. I think it has www.homestarrunner.com on the back, written in white. I've actually lost mine, so I'll have to find it. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 01:23, 22 August 2005 (BST)

I seriously think that they should make plushies of Strong Bad, Homestar and the rest of the dudes, don't you? - [[Miss Free Country USA]]

== Clean up ==
===Re-writing===
This page really needs major work, especially in the updating-to-the-new-page department. I think we could also have a section or maybe another page for the Flash store page that they just recently stopped using.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:57, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, it was done for the [[FAQ]] and the [[Email FAQ]]. Any ideas for the title of the old store page? I was thinking either "Old Store" or "Flash Store". --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 22:10, 23 May 2005 (BST)

Do you want them to be organized (the items) as they are in the store? -- [[User:fahooglewitz1077|[[User:fahooglewitz1077|fahooglewitz1077]] | [[User talk:fahooglewitz1077|Talk]]]] 20:35, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

===Orphaned Image===

Until a new section of this article (or a new article altogether) is created, the following is a screenshot of the "old" flash-based store that is no longer linked to any part of the site. I am including it here so it doesn't get "lost in the shuffle": [[Image:store_screenshot.png|100px]] {{User:The Paper/sig}} 14:18, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

==Easter Eggs==

I'm not seeing this 'Dancing Homestar' easter egg... Is this confirmed? Can it be clarified at all? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:37, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yep. Certainly there. Try using "Tab". {{User:FireBird/sig}}

: It doesn't work on firefox for whatever reason however [[User:super orange!|super orange!]]

Okay, figured that out (used Internet Explorer), but now I'm stuck on the other one. Where can I view the time at Bub's (the other easter egg)? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 12:08, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:Switch you computer clock to, say, ten o' clock and it will be night at Bubs'. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 12:10, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:: Just like in [[Population: Tire]]. [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] 14:33, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

::Ah, I see. CLARIFIE'D!!!! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:51, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I looked at some scripts and i found that the ones that can change backrounds have three. The nighttime is displayed between 7pm and 4am, the sunrise/sunset between 4am and 6am, also between 6pm and 7pm, and the rest daytime. So, starting at 12 am, from 12am to 4am nighttime, 4am-6am sunrise, 6am-6pm daylight, 6pm-7pm sunset, and 7pm-12am nighttime. Sunrise and sunset are identical, the ones that change are Bubsness and Song.
Also, this is the first use of my new signature: {{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 21:22, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Oh wait, click the D. I found it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== Random Troll, Maybe? ==

Why are the lyrics to "The Cheat" written SMACKDAB in the middle of "Out of Production" and "Toys" like someone trolled the page like a brainless n00b? (Not newb, as in a new guy, n00b as in an idiot) [[User:Mashi|Mashi]] 15:40, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

== Transcribed? ==

I'd like to give a whack at transcribing the product descriptions (actually just copy 'n' paste). Would that make the page too cluttery? Maybe we could make a table with the product pictures and descriptions. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 02:35, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

== The last shirt. ==

The last tone on the shirts in the old store... Am I crazy or is that one not actually Homestar? It doesn't sound like a human voice to me.

== Other retailers? ==

Hi all,
I sell H*R stuff in Australia. Would it be appropreate to link my site on the wiki?

I'm not completly sure of wiki-etiquette!

: MAYBE on your User page (if you have one); nowhere else. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[mailto:store@homestarrunner.com You could ask the Brothers Chaps] to mention your place at their [[HRStore:storelocator.html|store locator]], but right now they only list American and Canadian stores. --[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 17:11, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== nothing but products. ==

Proof that Homestarrunner.com is becoming nothing more than a commercial product.
: Uh... it's a Store page... is there a point here I'm missing? I've been seeing a lot of odd comments from regular users here all of a sudden... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: Hasn't the Store page been there for years? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:47, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::I don't know about you, but I like the updates once a week. If they didn't have a store, they'd have to get a job and the 'toons would not be released as often. They have to get money from some where! {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 19:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

== Legal Question ==

Can I obtain Strong Bad's face (for example), print it, go to my local T-shirt printer and do my own shirt? It will be only for personal use and I wouldn't make a dime out of this. Is it legal? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:50, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

As long as you don't sell it commercially, I don't think. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:You don't think it's legal, or you don't think it will be a problam? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 02:27, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

No, it's not legal. TBC have given the rights to reproduce their characters to the company that prints their shirts, and producing your own shirt undermines their ability to turn a profit. Now, as long as you don't ''sell'' your shirt (I'm assuming we're talking about ''one'' copy), you probably won't attract much notice. But you asked whether it was legal, not whether you would likely be prosecuted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:40, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:OK, now I get it. Thanks. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:26, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC) (And yeah.. I already made one :P)

==Hey Thanks==

I just found out an easter egg if you buy something at the store. It is called Hey, Thanks! Can someone make an article and make the article. It is a real toon. In order for you to view it, you must buy somethig. If you type in the URL, it has somnething with Strong Bad, instead of Homestar and Marzy. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:For all who are doubting, he link is [https://secure.homestarrunner.com/heythanks.html], but Strong Bad gives a message about "sneaking in the back door". I have yet to buy something from the real store, so I have not seen the actually "Thanks" toon. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:37, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Ok, here is a link to my recently ordered [https://order.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/wg-thank-you?oid=homestarrunner-297528&vwoidc=61e2b415d863af1129ad&unique=15fcb&vwxide=4145791290.260be04ef173dff8f180f25f1f95278c&catalog=homestarrunner&et=42e166d3&basket=b%3D5C518088d800d68942e158da6dbb0508088d86443ffcf27217b04be1c9c9a8562%26l%3D%26s%3DVADDZWbQ2xhZiERhQCwNGHT1fcU-] figurine thing.

::::So, should we add this as an easter egg, or should we make an article. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:Tom: those are the direct Flash files for each "thank-you" message- there is more than one. Five, to be exact, if you count the "back door" message. Using Leader's "Continue" link, I've managed to see three of them- all except "cinnamon.swf". {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:05, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Your computer's clock has to be set to late night to see the "cinnamon" one. Is "bonus" the one with Strong Bad telling you to buy something? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:13, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Jay- "bonus.swf" is the back-door message.
:Anyone- Transcripts of these messages can be found [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=150347&highlight=#150347 here]. Note that I jotted them down quickly, especially "bubsness.swf", so they may be wrong. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:32, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Transcripts of all but the Bubsness message were already on the Store page. The "celgegante" message appears automatically after you see the "bubsness" message enough times, so I screwed up transcribing the Bubsness message by seeing it too many times. I'm using your version now. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:37, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::Cool. Looks like "song.swf" can be played during the day or at night. Changing my clock to around 11:00 p.m. shows that message at night. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:39, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::: Uh... in my testing, it replaced "celegante" in the same fashion that it replaces "bubsness", and when my clock was set to late at night (later than 11 PM) it ALWAYS gave me cinnamon.swf. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:41, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::Hmm. Must be more than one "late night" toon. Seems as though even if I set my clock late, I still get "song.swf", only at night. I still can't get "cinnamon.swf". {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:43, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::::: That's because you're not setting it late enough. Try 3 AM. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:47, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Flash software==
Speaking of, what's the best software to use to view Flash files directly? I've looked all around this wiki but I've never come across a name. A Google search gives results, but I don't know which one to pick. Pause. Rewind. Fast forward. Resize/Zoom. View source code. See behind the black. Any or all of these features would be preferable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:19, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
: I can get all of those features except the source code from simply watching the .swf file of any 'toon (we link them on every page.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:23, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::: IE. Right-click the toon to see all the features. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:28, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::: Yeah, I've been using IE for a ''while'' now to view .swf files, and not being able to jump ahead, or to move forward or backward more than one frame at a time, just isn't cutting it. I need something more advanced. Some people mention a "seek bar", which tells me there is software out there that is better than just plain ol' IE. Is it Flash developer software? Is it expensive? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:51, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Store Revamp ==

I noticed [[User:mibluvr13|mib]] revamped the article. It looks great, but I think it could use some improvement, especially the "Accesories" section. The pictures stretch the screen on smaller screens, and I think it'd look nice if most, if not all, of the products were tables with the "closeup" feature on all of them. I also don't really like the direct images from the actual Homestar Runner Store. I think they could use some editing (and better quality). If the whole thing was a table, it wouldn't look so cluttered and messy, but easy on the eyes and not as difficult to read. My two cents. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:07, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Freebies ==

:But what about that other one described? --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 22:49, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::The other keychain is the shape of a star. The front has a red border with Homestar Runner in the middle, and the back has three smaller stars with the words "homestarrunner.com" in red writing. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:21, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

They have the Homestar one that is white, shaped like a star, has a picture of homestar on it, a red border, and says the site adress in red on the back. The Strongbadia one is red, shaped like a stop sign (octagon), has the word 'STOP' in white on it, with 'STRONGBADIA, POP: TIRE' in a spraypainted black font written overtop, and has the site adress in white on the back. I don't know of any others! --dayve_57, 1 Oct 2005

Here's a tidbit: on the order confirmation/acknowledgement emails, Big Freebie A is the homestar keychain, and Big Freebie B is the stop sign... I think. I haven't got my order yet but I noticed that I got a different freebie, supposedly... so I think that is how you know which you got. -[[User:Jenny|Jenny]] 21:13, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

:Yup, that's right. And it's now *finally* noted in the newly organized [[Store#Freebies|freebies]] section. Thanks Jenny, sharp eye. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

:I agree that this page does look cluttered and we probably should divide this article into muliple pages like T-shirts and Toys.

== Layout stuff ==

I [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Store&diff=226695&oldid=223291 think] there are a couple of layout things that need to be discussed.
#The [[Store#T-Shirts|T-Shirts]] section table looks great except for the Sizes column. Currently, only one row has all the sizes listed and really it looks unsightly. I'd do away with the entire column if it was me and think of a different way of listing these (perhaps an extra <code>colspan</code>'d row below each entry).
#Also, the '''20X6 Stinko Man Shirt!!!''' pictures should have the red '''20X6''' box removed from them.
#I'm not sure what [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Store&diff=226695&oldid=223291 updates] table is referred to here. But tables are generally good.
#It's been discussed or at least mentioned before that this page be broken up. Should it? It's not as big as i thought it was but it sure is sizeable. Regardless, the layout of the products and their description is not yet consistent among sections.

== Store Screenshot ==

I took a screenshot of the store using Firefox and [https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1146&application=firefox Screen Grab] that shows the whole page, rather than just the part that showed up in Fahooglewitz's window. If you guy's like it, feel free to use it instead.

== Cleanup ==

This page needs to be cleaned up. The tables are okay, but it clashes with the other items and descriptions. It needs to be cleaned up, and maybe sorted into subpages. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:27, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

===Update===

:Okay, I spent quite a while cleaning up the store. How does it look now? If it's good enough, then I'd like to add the id tags like we did with the Floppy Disk Container, and move over the links to the store from the [[H*R.com updates 2000|updates]] series of articles to ones straight to the store page here. Maybe leave the current links straight to the store for now, but since the links get out of dated, I'd like to switch most of them over to a permanent solution here. But I don't want to get started on that unless everybody agrees this page is good enough. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}}

:Well, no opposition here. I'm saying it's cleaned up enough. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:47, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
::Nice Job Thunderbird and you definitely put in lots of work into that page!

== Homsar update (update..'d) ==

Just a small update on the Homsar t-shirt. I contacted the store about it. They don't plan to reprint it ''until enough people request it'':
<pre>We will count your email as a "vote" for bringing back the Homsar T-shirt.</pre>
So, I'm just a friendly reminder. If more people want the Homsar shirt, [mailto:store@homestarrunner.com go tell 'em].

''Status update''
<pre>He'll be back again around the end of March.</pre>
'nuff said.

== Collaborative Community Project ==

It's been awhile since we've done a community project, but I think it's about time for another one. I've been wanting to work on Store for a long time, so I thought this would be a good way to get something done with it. A couple of things that need to be done:

==={{done}} Images===
All of the images now follow the [[HRWiki:Image use policy|image use policy]].

==={{done}} Updating [[HRWiki:Userbox]] and [[Flash Store]] ===
Both [[HRWiki:Userbox]] and the [[Flash Store]] have been updated with the correct images.

==={{done}} Different pages for each type of product===
This is what I've been wanting to do for a long time. Instead of one massive Store article, I think it'd be nice to have different pages for each type of article: <nowiki>[[Store T-Shirts]], [[Store Toys]],</nowiki> etc. This would make [[Store]] much shorter, and it'd be easier to keep up with and archive the different descriptions for each product, which change around some. This is just an idea, of course, and I'd like to see some different opinons on it.

If you have any other ideas, feel free to suggest them here as well. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 06:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Type the code in the "Coupon or Promotional Code" box during checkout and $3.00 will be deducted from your merchandise total of $30.00 or more.

== Homsar shirt preview ==

I was just browsing the store when I noticed that the preview for the Homsar shirt was in a Flash file. Namely, [[Videlectrix:storeflash/shirt_homsar.swf|here]]. It's pretty weird that it's hosted on the Videlectrix site, and not on the main one, or the Yahoo store. Anyways, does anybody know when it was added, and if so, how and where do we mention it? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:46, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks to [http://www.archive.org archive.org], I have found out that is was put up sometime after June 22, 2007. {{User:The Goblin/sig}} 18:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::The shirt was re-introduced in Nov 2007, according to [[Store T-shirts]]. Whether that Flash file was there then or not, I don't know. I know it was there pre-Christmas, though, since I encountered it then (sometime within a week before Dec 25). That probably doesn't help. =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:::Recently read that some people have [[Talk:environment#Release date|the power]] to see when files were "last modified" .. that might help, eh? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

== Bad Math ==
Currently, the store lists the Strong Bad overkill combo as being '''$63.95''' separately. I don't know about anyone else, but I do the math as follows: Strong Bad Emails 3 Disc DVD Set '''$29.95 +''' Strong Bad Emails Disc 4 DVD '''$12 +''' Strong Bad Emails Disc 5 DVD '''$12 +''' Strong Bad Sings CD '''$12 = $65.95'''. I don't quite know how to phrase a goof like this, so I invite some talented soul to do so. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
:It's a common practice to throw in a small discount on combo packs in stores to sell the items... otherwise, why buy the combo, instead of just buying the individual items? -[[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 15:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
::Wait... reread your post, and think I may have the answer... it's '''still''' a goof, though! Take out the price for the Strong Bad Sings CD (Note that the store says "'''FREE'' Strong Bad Sings CD"), and you get $'''5'''3.95 as the price individually. Still a goof, but just a 5 instead of a 6. -[[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 15:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
:::<s>I think combo prices usually charge a bit '''more''' than usual prices, since they know some people will buy them no matter what the price. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 15:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)</s>
:::Oh, nevermind. I get what you're saying. I think that TBC are still counting the CD's price as it is still included in the combo, free or not. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 15:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I got this response from the Customer Support team over at the store:
<tt><blockquote>The "$63.95 Separately" price was for during the holidays when the CD was on sale for $10. We forgot to change it once the sale was over. Thanks for letting us know.</blockquote></tt>

So... there's the mystery solved! -[[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 16:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
:That had been my suspicion; I knew the CD had been available for $10. (That's why I made [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Store&diff=prev&oldid=516218 this revert].) But you cheated by writing them! =] Oh, but now that I think of it, the "separate" price for the Everything Else combo is wrong, too! I hope they notice that, too. Anyway, I'm not going to keep checking their prices. It's just not that interesting to note in articles about these little goofs, now that I think of it. =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:21, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

==Correct bottom animation?==

== Non sequitor contest ==

Homsar currently winning with 63%. Do we want to just update the number on this page and be done with it, or archive every nearly identical message? Basically is incompleteness or redundancy preferable? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
:I think completeness is the best option. To that end, I have {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Store&diff=542387&oldid=540561 updated}} the store entry and {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Store_Front_Page_News_2008&diff=542388&oldid=539526 archived}} the change.

::That's what i meant, that's fine.--{{User:Record307/sig}} 02:18, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
:::So you basically meant the second one, which is how it was on the page prior to the new-format table. I put both here on the talk page to illustrate the screen-space that could be saved with the smaller table... Plus some people might want to see (for instance) all of the summer shots together, so the horizontal-only grouping doesn't really make sense, which is another reason that I think the smaller table is a good choice.

:No, it's not. and it's always been suggested that the phone is elsewhere in the house. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

== Wait, Stong? ==

are we all sure marzipan says "stong" instead of "strong"? because i've listened to the line over and over, and i think i can hear the "r" --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 17:26, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

::I don't think it's an intentional use of "Stong Sad" though. Sounds more like "stchong" than anything to me. I'd say change it to strong and accept that Missy probably just wasn't focused on enunciating when trying to sound upset. If she had meant it to be stong to bring up a previous reference it would have been more clearly pronounced. [[User:DaOysterboy|DaOysterboy]] 21:04, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Intentional or not, it's what she said. Heck, half of the instances of [[stong]] are typoes and thus unintentional. This would just be the verbal equivalent of a typo. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:36, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
::::I also hear the "r" in there. It's very subtle, and it's somewhat obscured by Missy's native accent and/or her trying to sound upset, but I definitely hear it in there. Maybe we should put this one to a vote? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 02:00, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== Shadows? ==
I don't know how to put this into words, but when Strong Sad's at the toilet there are shadows on the spots where his feet were when he was talking to Homestar. If someone could add that, that would be great. {{User:Coach z's cool/sig}} 21:37, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
:I wouldn't call them shadows... I think they're more like impressions, coz he stands in that one spot at all other times during the toon. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

== Greetings Weary Traveller, I sense you are.... ==

The beginning of Strong Sad's first greeting seems like a reference to Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective. "Bongiorno! I'm known around these parts as Stinky the Peeve. I sense that you are looking for information!" --[[User:Zonis|Zonis]] 23:38, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of the King of Town. Hence to forthwith, I shall only refer to him as the of Town. As of today, Strong Badia is its own, independent nation. Onward to Strong Badia, Strong Badia the Free!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Roi" is [[French]] for "King", thus explaining the pseudonym "Roy T."

===Trivia===
*On the PC version, costume items unlocked in Homestar Ruiner carry over to Strong Badia the Free (these must be unlocked, either by getting them in Homestar Ruiner, or by editing the [[Wikipedia:Windows Registry|Windows Registry]]). On the Wii version, the costumes are automatically unlocked, regardless of if you have the costumes on a Homestar Ruiner save file (or even if you don't have a Homestar Ruiner save file at all).
*When visiting the King of Town at his castle in the extended play mode of [[Homestar Ruiner]], he threatens to tax Strong Bad. Strong Bad responds with, "That sounds...ominous."
*The preview was added to the [http://www.nintendo.com/wii/channels/nintendochannel Nintendo Channel] on September 15, 2008 under the title "Strong Bad Episode 2: {{PAGENAME}}"

===Goofs===
*Although a week passes in the game, the calendar always says the 13th (though Strong Bad is probably too lazy/busy to change the day).

===Glitches===
*Sometimes Bubs will be stuck facing the black market door instead of the concession stand. As a result, the black market door will not open, and Bubs will be facing the wall when you try to talk to him from the front of the stand.
*When lighting certain objects on fire, sometimes the flames do not appear until Strong Bad leaves and returns to the area. This glitch is known to occur with the bush on the Homsar Reservation, the kimono in Club Technochocolate, and the skulls in Country.
*While visiting Bleak House in Extended Play, while wearing no hat, Strong Badia Shirt, Championship Belt, Camo Pants, and Homestar's boots, the game will freeze and make a buzzing noise upon saving.
====PC Version====
*During Extended Play, some characters' eyes may disappear.
*Digging up the Strong Badia shirt will cause another hole to appear in Strong Badia, in front of the flagpole, near the cinder block.

====Wii Version====
*Skipping the speech before starting the Peace Draft seems to make the transition in to a straight cut to black with a small slice of cut out showing the screen. This stays a few seconds into the scene before stopping. It also happens at the end of the scene, and it appears when looking at the map.
*An error in Math Kickers may also give you the rank of "□ber-Pope" if you exceed a score of 4000 points, with everything else already maxed out.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad calls himself "Strong Bad of the [[Underwear|mighty tighty-whities]]".
*The song that plays in "Pompomerania" is from [[geddup noise]].
*When doing the draft, Homestar uses his microphone from [[The Show]].
*The first sighting of Pom Pom in "Pompomerania" mimics his pose from the Theme Song.
*Bubs was established as a black marketeer in [[licensed]].
*The brochure for the [[On Point Kings]] is from [[more armies]].
*It is unclear whether The Cheat has his own lighter or Telltale Games removed the [[BMW Lighter|BMW Logo from Strong Bad's lighter]] for trademark purposes.
*The Teen Girl Squad was previously spun off in [[Teeny Tiny Girl Squad]].
*Strong Bad notes (and tries to explain) the delay of [[Dangeresque 3]].
*Coach Z's land cannot be conquered, as he is busy with [[i love you|Fhqwhgadi]] rebels.
*Homestar takes offense when Strong Bad asks people to take up arms against the King of Town, in part because [[Lack of visible arms|he doesn't appear to have any.]]
**In addition, during a letter from the front, Homestar says he can't wait "to be in [Marzipan's], ahem, arms again."
*"Fat-thority" is a [[portmanteau]] of "fat" and "authority".
*One of Homsar's responses, "I'm a song from the '60s!", is lifted from [[interview]], as is "Twas the pride of the Peaches!", which Strong Bad says after being enlightened to Homsar's ways.
*The flag of the Homsar Reservation features Homsar's hat as well as [[fan club|his parents: a cup of coffee and a chipwich]].
*One of the Whale's sayings is "Get your lighter from the anvil, please." Strong Bad actually gets his lighter from The Cheat, who was compared with an anvil in [[huttah!]]
*Strong Bad mentions [[Frank Benedetto]] falling in battle during the events of [[army]]. Many of Frank's "brothers" are on the draft wheel.
*In Marzistar's garden, Strong Bad calls Strong Mad and The Cheat "Lugnut & Squeak", just as he did in [[narrator]].
*Creamy Ding snack cakes, which the King of Town enjoys, looks remarkably similar to [[Swiss Cake Rolls]].
*Homestar says that Strong Bad is always "[[Homestar Ruiner|beating the various stuffings out of me]]".
*Many places on the "Maps and Minions" board have been referenced before, including [[Peasant's Quest|Scalding Lake]], [[Sick Day|Rotten Egglund]], and [[underlings|Stink's Reach]].
*The collar and invisible fence are supposed to [[StrongBadZone|make Strong Bad's head a splode]].
*Using the katana or the lighter on Pom Pom will cause Strong Bad to refrence the events in [[pom pom]].
*"Wearing animal heads is so 3rd issue!" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]], in which Cheerleader wore an [[elephant]] head.

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad addressing people in front of a giant flag is a reference to the opening scene in [[Wikipedia:Patton (film)|Patton]].
*Strong Bad's exploding collar is most likely inspired by [[Wikipedia: Battle Royale|Battle Royale]].
*The Brick Wall being renamed the Union of Soviet Socialist Repu''bricks'' echoes the real-life [[Wikipedia: Soviet Union|Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Roi" is [[French]] for "King", thus explaining the pseudonym "Roy T."

===Trivia===
*On the PC version, costume items unlocked in Homestar Ruiner carry over to Strong Badia the Free (these must be unlocked, either by getting them in Homestar Ruiner, or by editing the [[Wikipedia:Windows Registry|Windows Registry]]). On the Wii version, the costumes are automatically unlocked, regardless of if you have the costumes on a Homestar Ruiner save file (or even if you don't have a Homestar Ruiner save file at all).
*When visiting the King of Town at his castle in the extended play mode of [[Homestar Ruiner]], he threatens to tax Strong Bad. Strong Bad responds with, "That sounds...ominous."
*The preview was added to the [http://www.nintendo.com/wii/channels/nintendochannel Nintendo Channel] on September 15, 2008 under the title "Strong Bad Episode 2: {{PAGENAME}}"

===Goofs===
*Although a week passes in the game, the calendar always says the 13th (though Strong Bad is probably too lazy/busy to change the day).

===Glitches===
*Sometimes Bubs will be stuck facing the black market door instead of the concession stand. As a result, the black market door will not open, and Bubs will be facing the wall when you try to talk to him from the front of the stand.
*When lighting certain objects on fire, sometimes the flames do not appear until Strong Bad leaves and returns to the area. This glitch is known to occur with the bush on the Homsar Reservation, the kimono in Club Technochocolate, and the skulls in Country.
*While visiting Bleak House in Extended Play, while wearing no hat, Strong Badia Shirt, Championship Belt, Camo Pants, and Homestar's boots, the game will freeze and make a buzzing noise upon saving.
====PC Version====
*During Extended Play, some characters' eyes may disappear.
*Digging up the Strong Badia shirt will cause another hole to appear in Strong Badia, in front of the flagpole, near the cinder block.

====Wii Version====
*Skipping the speech before starting the Peace Draft seems to make the transition in to a straight cut to black with a small slice of cut out showing the screen. This stays a few seconds into the scene before stopping. It also happens at the end of the scene, and it appears when looking at the map.
*An error in Math Kickers may also give you the rank of "□ber-Pope" if you exceed a score of 4000 points, with everything else already maxed out.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad calls himself "Strong Bad of the [[Underwear|mighty tighty-whities]]".
*The song that plays in "Pompomerania" is from [[geddup noise]].
*When doing the draft, Homestar uses his microphone from [[The Show]].
*The first sighting of Pom Pom in "Pompomerania" mimics his pose from the Theme Song.
*Bubs was established as a black marketeer in [[licensed]].
*The brochure for the [[On Point Kings]] is from [[more armies]].
*It is unclear whether The Cheat has his own lighter or Telltale Games removed the [[BMW Lighter|BMW Logo from Strong Bad's lighter]] for trademark purposes.
*The Teen Girl Squad was previously spun off in [[Teeny Tiny Girl Squad]].
*Strong Bad notes (and tries to explain) the delay of [[Dangeresque 3]].
*Coach Z's land cannot be conquered, as he is busy with [[i love you|Fhqwhgadi]] rebels.
*Homestar takes offense when Strong Bad asks people to take up arms against the King of Town, in part because [[Lack of visible arms|he doesn't appear to have any.]]
**In addition, during a letter from the front, Homestar says he can't wait "to be in [Marzipan's], ahem, arms again."
*"Fat-thority" is a [[portmanteau]] of "fat" and "authority".
*One of Homsar's responses, "I'm a song from the '60s!", is lifted from [[interview]], as is "Twas the pride of the Peaches!", which Strong Bad says after being enlightened to Homsar's ways.
*The flag of the Homsar Reservation features Homsar's hat as well as [[fan club|his parents: a cup of coffee and a chipwich]].
*One of the Whale's sayings is "Get your lighter from the anvil, please." Strong Bad actually gets his lighter from The Cheat, who was compared with an anvil in [[huttah!]]
*Strong Bad mentions [[Frank Benedetto]] falling in battle during the events of [[army]]. Many of Frank's "brothers" are on the draft wheel.
*In Marzistar's garden, Strong Bad calls Strong Mad and The Cheat "Lugnut & Squeak", just as he did in [[narrator]].
*Creamy Ding snack cakes, which the King of Town enjoys, looks remarkably similar to [[Swiss Cake Rolls]].
*Homestar says that Strong Bad is always "[[Homestar Ruiner|beating the various stuffings out of me]]".
*Many places on the "Maps and Minions" board have been referenced before, including [[Peasant's Quest|Scalding Lake]], [[Sick Day|Rotten Egglund]], and [[underlings|Stink's Reach]].
*The collar and invisible fence are supposed to [[StrongBadZone|make Strong Bad's head a splode]].
*Using the katana or the lighter on Pom Pom will cause Strong Bad to refrence the events in [[pom pom]].
*"Wearing animal heads is so 3rd issue!" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]], in which Cheerleader wore an [[elephant]] head.

''{The screen shows "In the next episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People" and fades to Strong Bad walking in from the right. The backdrop is the Strong Badian Flag.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of the King of Town. Hence to forthwith, I shall only refer to him as the of Town. As of today, Strong Badia is its own, independent nation. Onward to Strong Badia, Strong Badia the Free!

''{Record scratch is heard and Homestar comes into view}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's the name of this-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Shut up. ''{Homestar becomes sad}''

''{The screen shows "STRONG BADIA the FREE" and a no sign is covering the Municipality logo. The screen then changes to "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People: New episode every month!"}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Roi" is [[French]] for "King", thus explaining the pseudonym "Roy T."

===Trivia===
*On the PC version, costume items unlocked in Homestar Ruiner carry over to Strong Badia the Free (these must be unlocked, either by getting them in Homestar Ruiner, or by editing the [[Wikipedia:Windows Registry|Windows Registry]]). On the Wii version, the costumes are automatically unlocked, regardless of if you have the costumes on a Homestar Ruiner save file (or even if you don't have a Homestar Ruiner save file at all).
*When visiting the King of Town at his castle in the extended play mode of [[Homestar Ruiner]], he threatens to tax Strong Bad. Strong Bad responds with, "That sounds...ominous."
*The preview was added to the [http://www.nintendo.com/wii/channels/nintendochannel Nintendo Channel] on September 15, 2008 under the title "Strong Bad Episode 2: {{PAGENAME}}"

===Goofs===
*Although a week passes in the game, the calendar always says the 13th (though Strong Bad is probably too lazy/busy to change the day).

===Glitches===
*Sometimes Bubs will be stuck facing the black market door instead of the concession stand. As a result, the black market door will not open, and Bubs will be facing the wall when you try to talk to him from the front of the stand.
*When lighting certain objects on fire, sometimes the flames do not appear until Strong Bad leaves and returns to the area. This glitch is known to occur with the bush on the Homsar Reservation, the kimono in Club Technochocolate, and the skulls in Country.
*While visiting Bleak House in Extended Play, while wearing no hat, Strong Badia Shirt, Championship Belt, Camo Pants, and Homestar's boots, the game will freeze and make a buzzing noise upon saving.
====PC Version====
*During Extended Play, some characters' eyes may disappear.
*Digging up the Strong Badia shirt will cause another hole to appear in Strong Badia, in front of the flagpole, near the cinder block.

====Wii Version====
*Skipping the speech before starting the Peace Draft seems to make the transition in to a straight cut to black with a small slice of cut out showing the screen. This stays a few seconds into the scene before stopping. It also happens at the end of the scene, and it appears when looking at the map.

===Inside References===

*The song that plays in "Pompomerania" is from [[geddup noise]].

*One of the Whale's sayings is "Get your lighter from the anvil, please." Strong Bad actually gets his lighter from The Cheat, who was compared with an anvil in [[huttah!]]
*Strong Bad mentions [[Frank Benedetto]] falling in battle during the events of [[army]]. Many of Frank's "brothers" are on the draft wheel.

*The collar and invisible fence are supposed to [[StrongBadZone|make Strong Bad's head a splode]].
*Using the katana or the lighter on Pom Pom will cause Strong Bad to refrence the events in [[pom pom]].
*"Wearing animal heads is so 3rd issue!" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]], in which Cheerleader wore an [[elephant]] head.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Offer Strong Sad the pilot wings. He won't get them, but you'll call him another name, if you haven't already.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' Your inventory should now contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, your former-BMW lighter, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a fake sword. (Don't worry, you'll be coming back for the real one soon.) You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have called Strong Sad nine names, and found three costume items.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*Show Strong Sad the Tuning Fork to call him another name.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

*'''Now that you've called Strong Sad another name, swing by Pompomerania.'''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*'''Go back to the Homsar Reservation.'''

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*On your way out, look in Marzipan's mailbox for the last Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now your inventory will contain the metal detector, the lighter, the katana, and Tony Stony. You should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, all four manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have called Strong Sad twelve names, and found three costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
*Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
*Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
*Go to the House of Strong and get a final insult in on Strong Sad.
*If you haven't already, play some Math Kickers to get an Awesome high score of over 2000 points.
*If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.
*If you've followed this walkthrough to completion, you should attain the rank of Lord High Fantasticus and get the bonus Max Shirt.

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, the 13 burnable objects, the seven costume items, and the 4 Algebros Manual pages. It is currently missing one Strong Sad name.

{{spoiler}}

==Legend==
A description of events will be written in plaintext.

* '''Mandatory actions will be bulleted and written in boldface.'''
* Actions that increase your awesomeness rating, but are not mandatory, will be bulleted and written in plaintext.
* ''Optional actions that might help you understand the scene will be bulleted and written in italics.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Offer Strong Sad the pilot wings. He won't get them, but you'll call him another name, if you haven't already.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' Your inventory should now contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, your former-BMW lighter, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a fake sword. (Don't worry, you'll be coming back for the real one soon.) You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have called Strong Sad nine names, and found three costume items.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*Show Strong Sad the Tuning Fork to call him another name.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

*'''Now that you've called Strong Sad another name, swing by Pompomerania.'''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*'''Go back to the Homsar Reservation.'''

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*On your way out, look in Marzipan's mailbox for the last Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now your inventory will contain the metal detector, the lighter, the katana, and Tony Stony. You should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, all four manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have called Strong Sad eleven names, and found three costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' Your inventory should now contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, your former-BMW lighter, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a fake sword. (Don't worry, you'll be coming back for the real one soon.) You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have called Strong Sad nine names, and found three costume items.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*Show Strong Sad the Tuning Fork to call him another name.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

*'''Now that you've called Strong Sad another name, swing by Pompomerania.'''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*'''Go back to the Homsar Reservation.'''

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*On your way out, look in Marzipan's mailbox for the last Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now your inventory will contain the metal detector, the lighter, the katana, and Tony Stony. You should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, all four manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have called Strong Sad eleven names, and found three costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' Your inventory should now contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, your former-BMW lighter, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a fake sword. (Don't worry, you'll be coming back for the real one soon.) You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have called Strong Sad nine names, and found three costume items.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*Show Strong Sad the Tuning Fork to call him another name.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

*'''Now that you've called Strong Sad another name, swing by Pompomerania.'''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*'''Go back to the Homsar Reservation.'''

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*On your way out, look in Marzipan's mailbox for the last Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now your inventory will contain the metal detector, the lighter, the katana, and Tony Stony. You should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, all four manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have called Strong Sad eleven names, and found three costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

Math Kickers

2008-09-22T08:09:05Z

Lukeonia1: /* Special Moves */ It's Right-Up-Left Dex-Ryu!

[[Image:SBplayingMK.jpg|thumb|left|When are people gonna realize you can't learn off of video games?]]
[[Image:MathKickersboxmockup.jpg|thumb|0.7 times more fun than doing actual math!]]
'''Math Kickers featuring the Algebros''' is a mini-game from [[Videlectrix]] from ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'s'' [[Strong Badia The Free]]. The cover art for the fictional box of the game features two martial arts fighters in a city-themed background, a kid smiling in the foreground, and another martial arts fighter over a quadratic formula in the sky.

In the game, you play as two fighters, Dex and Ryu, facing back to back. Dex subtracts and Ryu will add, and the goal is to fight Ninjas and attack number bosses. The game strongly resembles ''[[Wikipedia:Double Dragon (video game)|Double Dragon]]'' for [[Nintendo]].

A score of 2000 is required for your Awesomeness rank.
==Controls==
===Wii Controls===
''Hold The Wii Remote Sideways''

:D-Pad: Moves Dex/Ryu
:1: Dex Attack
:2: Ryu Attack
:+: Start the Game
:-: Quit the Game

===PC Controls===
:Arrows: Move Dex/Ryu
:Z: Dex Attack
:X: Ryu Attack
:S: Start the Game
:Q: Quit the Game
:Spacebar: Pause the Game

==How To Play==
Dex's attacks subtract ninjas from his side. Ryu's Energy Ball Attack adds ninjas to his side. The idea is to restore the balance.

Example:
:3 Ninjas on Left, 1 Ninja on Right: 3 ≠ 1
:Dex subtracts one Ninja from his side: 3 - 1 ≠ 1
:Ryu adds one Ninja to his side: 3 - 1 = 1 + 1

When the Balance is restored, all the Ninjas will disappear, and Dex and Ryu can move on.

After several waves of Ninjas, Dex and Ryu will split up for a boss battle against a [[Wikipedia:quadratic equation|quadratic equation]]. The equation will attack by lifting up into the air and slamming into the ground – be sure to be out of the way when this happens! Attack the equation a bunch, and it will eventually solve itself, and you'll move on to the next level.

As you level up, the going gets tougher, as the Ninjas and Bosses get stronger.

You start the game with 6 "Bros" and lose a Bro every time Dex or Ryu take damage from the ninjas, who throw mathematical operators at you. When all your bros are gone, your game is over.

==Special Moves==
*'''Logarithm Attack:''' Left, Down, Right, Up, Dex
*:Sends two logs across the screen, which can kill enemies.
*'''Polar Coordinates:''' Right, Up, Left, Dex, Ryu
*:Kills all but one enemy from both sides.
*'''Divide by Zero Error:''' Left, Right, Left, Right, Ryu
*:Makes a zero fly across the screen, which can kill enemies.

==Trivia==
===Goofs===
*Math Kickers (at least the Wii version) has a bug in it that causes a secret rank to occur ([]ber-Pope) See [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6585 here].

Strong Badia the Free Walkthrough

2008-09-22T06:31:13Z

Lukeonia1: /* Marzistar/Homezipan */ Added where to find the last Algebros Manual page

{{cleanup}}

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, the 13 burnable objects, the seven costume items, and the 4 Algebros Manual pages. It is currently missing one Strong Sad name.

{{spoiler}}

==Legend==
A description of events will be written in plaintext.

* '''Mandatory actions will be bulleted and written in boldface.'''
* Actions that increase your awesomeness rating, but are not mandatory, will be bulleted and written in plaintext.
* ''Optional actions that might help you understand the scene will be bulleted and written in italics.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' Your inventory should now contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, your former-BMW lighter, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a fake sword. (Don't worry, you'll be coming back for the real one soon.) You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have called Strong Sad nine names, and found three costume items.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

*'''Now that you've called Strong Sad another name, swing by Pompomerania.'''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*'''Go back to the Homsar Reservation.'''

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*On your way out, look in Marzipan's mailbox for the last Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now your inventory will contain the metal detector, the lighter, the katana, and Tony Stony. You should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, all four manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have called Strong Sad eleven names, and found three costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, the 13 burnable objects, the seven costume items, and the 4 Algebros Manual pages. It is currently missing one Strong Sad name.

{{spoiler}}

==Legend==
A description of events will be written in plaintext.

* '''Mandatory actions will be bulleted and written in boldface.'''
* Actions that increase your awesomeness rating, but are not mandatory, will be bulleted and written in plaintext.
* ''Optional actions that might help you understand the scene will be bulleted and written in italics.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' Your inventory should now contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, your former-BMW lighter, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a fake sword. (Don't worry, you'll be coming back for the real one soon.) You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have called Strong Sad nine names, and found three costume items.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

*'''Now that you've called Strong Sad another name, swing by Pompomerania.'''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*'''Go back to the Homsar Reservation.'''

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now your inventory will contain the metal detector, the lighter, the katana, and Tony Stony. You should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, all four manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have called Strong Sad eleven names, and found three costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, the 13 burnable objects, the seven costume items, and the 4 Algebros Manual pages. It is currently missing one Strong Sad name.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' Your inventory should now contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, your former-BMW lighter, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a fake sword. (Don't worry, you'll be coming back for the real one soon.) You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have called Strong Sad nine names, and found three costume items.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

*'''Now that you've called Strong Sad another name, swing by Pompomerania.'''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*'''Go back to the Homsar Reservation.'''

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

*Page 2 - Marzipan's mailbox
*Page 3 - Under the box by the Picket Fence

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' Your inventory should now contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, your former-BMW lighter, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana. You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have called Strong Sad nine names, and found three costume items.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

*Talk to Strong Sad after *ahem* conquering his nation to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one Teen Girl Squad card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenir flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and have found three costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*On your way back upstairs, use the pillow on Strong Sad to call him another name.
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies - including having a piece of your nation sliced from you by the Cheat! D'OH!

Well, this calls for world domination, then...

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, have called Strong Sad four names, and have found one costume item.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Teen Girl Squad Cards==
There are four ancient scrolls, each containing an image that gives Strong Bad a great idea for the Teen Girl Squad.
*Tar Pit - On Strong Sad's bookcase
*Dinosaur Egg - Received after signalling with the lighter out Strong Bad's barred window
*Alien - Buried on the Homsar Reservation
*Darwin - In the Ex-fish on the King of Town's wall

*Cover - Strong Bad's mailbox
*Page 2 - Marzipan's mailbox
*Page 3 - Under the box by the Picket Fence

Talk:Strong Badia the Free

2008-09-21T10:03:29Z

Lukeonia1: /**/Reproducable glitches

== Possible Name Move ==

Since the title spelling is based on the IGN article, it's not clear if it should be ''Strongbadia the Free'' or ''Strong Badia the Free''. Strong Bad has said it should be [[myths & legends|two different words]] in the past. Should we move the article now, or wait until official confirmation? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 13:49, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
:I would like to move the article now. After IGN.com errored in at least 2 DVD reviews and despicably boasted about SBCG4AP coming July 21, I can't trust the name they gave this game {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:12, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
::I would suggest waiting it out until we have a clearer picture of this. Our only source uses this spelling, so we ought to keep it until something clearer shows up (such as releases from Telltale or TBC). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:23, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
:It's "Strong Badia the Free," unless we are feeling really desperate and non-canon and remove the space for character-length reasons or something horrible. The in-game logo for the episode, much like the stop sign from which it came, reads "Strong Badia," though. [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 06:05, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks for the info, Jake. I've fixed accordingly. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:54, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== KOT?? ==

I noticed that there are few moments on the website where the KOT actually acts like a king. This is one of those few... Anyone else noticed that? {{User:Parrothead1/sig}} 17:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

== Homsar? ==

He isn't in the preview, what's the source that he's definitely in the game? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

:IGN's sneak peak lists him being in it. - [[User:OkayGraphics|OkayGraphics]] 17:17, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

== Possible costume pieces? ==

I'm thinkin' the Dangeresque glasses will be available.
Other items might include:
Lotionman,
The hor-ned helmet,
Ab-abber markings,
Freshley's shoeboxes,
and Strongbad's snowflake shirt from happy dethemberween.
amirite?
:This is all speculation. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

== IGN's pictures ==

[http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14246169/imgs_1.html Here]. Most notably, [[Homsar]] is in one of 'em. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

== Spoiler warning? ==

Over on the Telltale forum, Strong Badia the Free's lead designer, Chuck Jordan, cautioned against reading IGN's hands-on article, due to it giving away more than it should have. Do you guys ever tag previews of unreleased material with spoiler warnings or anything like that? [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 16:34, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
:I just put up some type of spoiler warning near the link. There's probably a better way to word it, though. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 16:51, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

== Date ==

I heard its coming 9/15
:Meaningless unless you have a source to cite. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 22:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

ign IS MY SOUCRE in the hands on and on the game page at it too.
: Ah, but what's IGN's source? It's possible that they're just estimating (September 15 roughly one month after Homestar Ruiner's release.) Homestar Ruiner came much later than expected, remember. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

I SAID IN THE HANDS ON PREVIEW AT PAX 08
: I was at PAX '08 too, but I don't remember seeing anything about the 15th. Do you have any evidence? We're not saying you're wrong, just that we need some kind of verifiability. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

If anyone told someone a date at PAX, it probably wasn't a Telltale employee. We haven't announced the date because we don't know the exact date. The moment we have a confirmed launch date agreed upon by everybody, we post it to the Telltale blog and forum -- and Telltale or Nintendo of America will always be the first people to post an accurate release date for an SBCG4AP episode. IGN, for instance, often lists a random date just to fill their database, but that information is usually just made up by someone taking a guess when updating their game database, and isn't based on reality. [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 04:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
: FYI, IGN sid it is the 14th, not 15th. {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 13:35, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
HEY THE DATE IS right yes in your faces YEAH!
:We really don't need you to shout at the other users. And yes, it's confirmed. [http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-373] --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:08, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
::There's nothing "in our faces". We never said it ''wasn't'' the fifteenth. We were asking for evidence, which didn't show up until yesterday or so. And gloating is a poor way of staying on others' good sides. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:49, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry!

== Played around with it a little, and... ==

I'm at work now so I didn't get far, but I still have the following queries and requests:

# Will we list the reponses pages by the normal names of the locations (such as [[Strong Badia the Free Responses (House of Strong)]]) or by their SBtF names (in this case, [[Strong Badia the Free Responses (Bleak House)]])?
# I propose a page on the [[Homsar Reservation]].
# Will it be [[Strong Badia the Free Teen Girl Squad]], [[Strong Badia the Free Cave Girl Squad]], or just [[Cave Girl Squad]]? Whatever the case, the other two should be redirects.

-- {{User:Jay/sig}} 18:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

:I think we should use the place names as they appear on the map in each particular game, and maybe create redirects for consistency if it's different. I'm not sure if we really need redirects even. I also think I'll stop reading the wiki now until I've played the game. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 18:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

:::I think the TGS page should just be titled Cave Girl Squad. The one in Homestar Ruiner was only titled as it is, because it had no specific name. For the responses, there should be ones for Strong Badia (including all The Field areas), Bleak House, Homsar Reservation, Pompomerania, Country, Marzistar, and whatever the castle is called.

:::Also, should the tutorial be moved to its own page instead of leaving it on the Homestar Ruiner responses? As far as I'm aware, it's the same in both games... [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 04:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

::::Yes the tutorial is exactly the same in this game as it was in the first. So, it should probably be pulled out of Homestar Ruiner and put someplace common between the games, or on it's own page. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 04:13, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Should Strong Badia/The Cheat and Tireia and Concessionstantinople have separate responses pages, or be put together? The only reason I ask at all is because Strong Badia was fairly important to the plot, and had at least one cutscene, It might be ''too'' crowded to Field them all together. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:06, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
: The Cheat and Tirerea? No. Concessionstan(tinople; it's called both)? Maybe, but realize that there's an entire rest of The Field there too. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:09, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, hence the slash. Whichever the Field and Concessionstantinople become, separate or together, Strong Badia and The Cheat and Tireia should be together. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Though when I think about it, what DOES happen in Strong Badia besides a short portion of the intro and the scene with The Cheat and Tireia? Frankly, that's probably less than takes place in Marzistar or Bleak House. Though while we're on the subject, another thing occurred to me (that would not have occurred to me when I made this topic as I hadn't managed to get that far yet ;): the strategy segment at the end. Lump it with The Castle or make it separate? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:25, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, totally. The board game, I think, should definitely be a separate page. It's a full interactive game in itself, rather different than the last minigame (the Race to the End of the Race), where the only obstacles to victory (after extensive cheating) was timing. This one, though, is a whole, separate game that requires its own strategies and can really depend on the player's own skill and tactics. It also has its own responses and dialogue within the game, and doesn't last 22 seconds or less like the Race does. In fact, I actually have a board game just like it in real life. It definitely deserves its own page, I say. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Splitting [[Strong Badia the Free Responses (The Field)|The Field]] into different parts: The cut-scene that occurs in Strong Badia actually gets transcribed on the [[Strong Badia the Free Responses (Bleak House)|Bleak House]] response page, because that is where it begins. It makes sense to leave the transcript whole on the page where the scene starts, rather than split it mid-cut-scene. So there's even less that's in Strong Badia's section. I think that the main and secondary sections in the TOC of [[Strong Badia the Free Responses (The Field)|The Field]] is complete now, and it doesn't seem like it's going to be overly long. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 06:11, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

== How long to wait? ==
I've noticed a ton of Inside References and Real-World References in playing through the game, but most of them would be spoilers. How long should we wait before compiling a list? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
:Go for it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

== Battle Royale, really? ==

I think the exploding-collar-on-a-prisoner reference might be more likely from Wedlock, a horrible movie with Rutger Hauer (IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103239/) Of course, it depends on what the collar looks like, I'd imagine.

== So what's the story? ==

For anyone that has downloaded it already, will it replace the current Homestar Ruiner channel? Will all the episodes be condensed into one channel or will they each have their separate channel? Can anyone clear this up for me? [[User:Thrashmeister|Thrashmeister]] 00:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
: Separate channels. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:22, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
: Also, the clothes you've collected in Homestar Ruiner will be transferred to Strong Badia the Free. Just check the photo booth. --[[User:FlapperPrower|FlapperPrower]] 19:14, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

== Cave girl Squad ==

Can someone post the solution? -Philip8o
: Still trying to sort it out. I know you get laughs, rather than chuckles, when you:
# Give a girl a dinosaur egg in the first phase and let her live through the end of the third phase.
# Give a girl the tablet and chisel, in that order. Might need to be done after the first phase.
# Give the dog during the third phase.
# Give any girl Charles Darwin in the final stage (I'm pretty sure the final stage only happens if all the girls are dead before then.)
Oddly, with four laughs and one chuckle, I still got "perfection". The chuckle-death I got on "perfection" involved giving the ribbon during the third phase. Most of the responses are not girl-specific as far as I can tell. So and So reacts differently to the wheel than the others, but I haven't achieved a death out of it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:32, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I give up. Where's an Egg? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
: виновник. Okay, seriously, try using your lighter on the barred window in the Bleak House. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:21, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
: Oh, and I've since learned that you have to use the wheel on So and So during the third phase to get a laughing death. However, this did not increase my score even when I got all five laughs; four laughs and a chuckle was apparently enough for a perfect score. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:24, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

giving so-and-so the wheel during the third scene gets a full laugh. but you can get max points without doing that.[[Special:Contributions/65.101.85.104|65.101.85.104]] 01:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
::'''(Here's a quick way to get a max score.)''' Even with the hints above I had to waste a couple objects and didn't know how to use certain things without a Teen Girl dying.. so.. First scene: Egg to Chearleader, Machine Gun to anyone.. Second scene: Tablet to What's Her Face, Chisel to What's Her Face.. Third scene: Dog to The Ugly One, Alien to anyone, Wheel to So and So.. Fourth scene: Darwin to anyone.. It's over! {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

== Do I Smell A Zelda Reference? ==

Could Homsar talking about the three tasks and disappointing end cutscene and a "boy of legend" be a Legend of Zelda ref? {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
:I think it's more a reference to that whole genre [[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 02:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

== Locations ==

I suggest we make a seperate page for the locations in this episode. On it would be a table that would have:

Character | Country Name | Actual Place

Or something like that at the top. Comments? {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 08:41, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
:I think a [[Countries in Strong Badia the Free]] page would work quite well. It'd be a nice place to detail all the info gleaned from the game, including ones that don't fit into the plot, such as Coachnya. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:56, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
::Okay, okay. Should I make a subpage in my userspace for development of the page? {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 11:24, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I say, get crack-a-lackin' DrPepper! ;-) But why not just develop it in it's actual location? {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 13:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
::::Alright! I'll get started [[here.|User:DrPepper42/Strong Badia The Free Countries]] {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 02:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

== Je ne pense pas ==

*"Roi" is [[French]] for "King", thus explaining the pseudonym "Roy T."

I think the french is dubious. ''Roi'' is pronounced something like '''rwah''', so any connection is only visual -- and it just seems like a stretch to me. For what it's worth, I thought ''Roy T'' was a sound-alike play on ''Royalty''. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 04:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:I dunno, the visual connection seems reasonable to me. Sure, "oi" sounds different in French than English, but the written similarity between them, plus the fact that T is the first letter in "Town", it the one explanation I can think of for why "Roy T." = "King of Town". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

== Reference to Native Americans? ==

Did anyone else see the Homsar Reservation and Homsar's "normal" voice as a stereotypical reference to Native Americans? Would it be worth mentioning in the article? [[User:Thrashmeister|Thrashmeister]] 03:12, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
:Definitely! [[User:Joanassie|Joanassie]] 18:57, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

::'''STRONG BAD:''' What are ''you'' guys doing here? Can't you see I've got enough troubles? I'm a political prisoner!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{holding her guitar, Carol}'' That's why we're here, Strong Bad. This is a peaceful protest rally.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Peaceful?!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' FREE STRONG BAD!
::'''COACH Z:''' ''{holding a sign which reads ''"KOT = JRK"''}'' No taxin' without representin'!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Save the bats!

::'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! Cruel and unusual!
:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' At least it's finally quiet out there, and relatively stank-free.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{robotically}'' I didn't prepare myself.

=== Sign ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I really gotta update that sign with something more forceful... but, eh, that sounds like too much work.

=== Stooly ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, my trusty steed. Stooly, I'd ride you into email battle any day.

==Kitchen==

===Cereal===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' What's in the Cheat Commandos-Os box...? ''{finds the eye patch}'' A free sugar-frosted eye patch, just like the one Fightgar wore in the episode "Tickled Pink-Eye!"
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' Cheat Commandos-Os are a delicious part of this ridiculous breakfast.

===Dead Plant===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Charlemagne}'' Strong Sad's suicidal houseplant. If only we had read his journal, we might have seen the signs...
====Lighter → Dead Plant====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't cremate Charlemagne! His license says he's an organ donor.

===Fridge===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Strong Bad opening the fridge}'' I love how the fridge smells like rotting vegetables, when there's never been a vegetable in it. ''{closes the fridge}''

===Front Door===
:''{While under house arrest}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Cut to Strong Bad walking out the door and past the fence. His head promptly explodes, plastering him against the opposite wall in the Living Room. He peels off and falls to his knees on the floor.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' An invisible fence that makes your head explode when you cross it. Seemed like such an awesome idea when I recommended it at the last town meeting.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He walks out the door. An explosion pastes him to the wall again.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' Shaking off char-head's not nearly as satisfying as shaking off frying pan-head.

==Laundry Room==

===Dryer===
:'''While under house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finds camouflage pants}'' I knew if I ran them in the dryer a few hundred times, they'd shrink down to my size.
::{{short hr}}
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The key to surviving in prison is to not hang out in the laundry room for too long. Or Shiv City, as I like to call it.
:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The emperor's new clothes just need to tumble dry. Then I can put them on.

===Pennants===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Those are pennants from various academic institutions, unaccredited and discredited alike.

===Pillow===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' A big fat pillow filled with big fat dust mites. ''{takes pillow}''.

==Living Room==

===Carpet===
:''{The first time Strong Bad walks over the carpet only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Few can withstand the otherwordly horror of Ugrug: the world's ugliest rug.

===Smoke Detector===
:'''Before setting it on fire'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the smoke detector}'' Ah, the smoke detector. AKA: The Place to Find a Spare 9-Volt.
:'''After setting it on fire'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the burning smoke detector}'' To be fair, that fire's not actually smoking.

====Lighter → Smoke Detector====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sets fire to the smoke detector}'' Woah! That doesn't make me feel very safe.

===Window===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the window}'' Aw, man. Of all the weeks I could've picked to install steel bars on all the ground floor windows. At least it stopped Strong Mad's sleepwalking.
====Lighter → Window====
:''{First time only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Gotta send a top-secret coded message to my man on the outside. ''{holds the lighter in the window, flicking it on and off as he talks}'' Operation...Excelsior...Is...Go. Please...Send...Secret...Plans. ''{receives Teen Girl Squad idea}'' All right! It's... a drawing of an egg. Oh boy, I guess I can make a drawing of an omelet now. ''{signals out the window}'' Thanks...for...nothing...moron.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' That'd be a waste of time.

===Plaque (Dog)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Walks back and forth, watching the plaque}'' I don't like the way that hush puppy's eyes follow me when I walk around.

===Plaque (Horse)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' How come none of the Dutch Masters ever worked in the medium of wood-burny-on-tree-slice?

==Looking at Yard==
===Invisible Fence===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to view of fence blocking front door}'' I'm a-gonna have to get rid of that fence before I become a sickly pale shut-in like Strong Sad.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{opens the front door}'' Pallor to the people! ''{closes door}''
===King of Town effigy===
:''{close view of the base of the effigy, surrounded by Creamy Dings, slow pan up, revealing a plain pole bearing the sign "King of Town" and a plain white styrofoam sphere on top}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Wow, Marzipan, you've outdone yourself this time. You really nailed the eyes. It's like I'm staring into the King's beer-battered soul.
====Couch Stuffing → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's ridiculous-looking beard that's supposed to hide his lack of jawline: Check.
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the first inventory item is used on the effigy, regardless of order'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's red and fat and smells like rancid meatloaf?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Mezeh meh?
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No, the other thing!
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh, meh!
::''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Paper Crown → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid crown that gets the King all up in my grill actin' like he owns the place or somethin': Check.
:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Pillow → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's morbid obesity: Check.
:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Red Towel → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Royal Robe in size "husky": Check.
:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the last of the inventory items is used on the effigy, regardless of order.'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello King of Town!
::'''COACH Z:''' It's him! That's the guy! Burn 'im up!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' BURN THE KING!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh well. Take him out, boys!
::''{cut to ground up view of The Cheat, Strong Mad, Homestar and Coach Z. The Cheat smiles, pulls out a lighter, lights it, and walks off screen towards the effigy. Cut to a wide shot of the effigy, which bursts into flames and disappears. The two ends of the invisible fence do the same in turn. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad through the window}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet recently divorced lady freedom! ''{he removes the collar and holds it up in the air, it then bursts into flames and disappears}'' Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia, ''the Free''!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's the name of thi—
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!
::''{fade out. fade in on Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat stand before an audience of Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z and Strong Sad}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of The King of Town. Hencetoforthwith, I shall only refer to him as, "The of Town". As of today, Strong Badia is it's own independent nation!
::''{all gasp}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, if you will...
::''{The Cheat is shown behind the fence, mashing play on a boom box, organ chords begin to play. Cut to Strong Bad, who stands in front of a Strong Badian flag which fills the whole view}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses! ''{Strong Badian national anthem begins}'' That's why I, Strong Bad of the Might Tighty Whities, declare ''war'' on The of Town! Who's with me?! ''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you losers gonna just stand around losing, or help me get past that fence?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That would be illegal!
:'''COACH Z:''' I can't go back to the joint again, man! I ain't goin'!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{zoom in on pile of Creamy Dings at the base of the effigy}'' We started a collection to help pay your back taxes. ''You're welcome!''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas don't involve me wanting to blow my brains out?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Hmm. Probably not.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whiny}'' I'm never gonna get out of this house!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't worry, we'll be here ''every day'' for you until you're released, singing songs 'bout freedom and compression!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{camera slowly zooms out and up into the sky away from Strong Bad}'' Noooooo!

====Protestors → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Why'd you bring that ugly, misshapen stick?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot— nevermind.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My people, we can no longer suffer under the invisible boot of this power-mad tyrant. A call to arms! Who's with me?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{shakes his fist in the air}'' STRONG MAD!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{raises his hand}'' Me!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks at his sides}'' I suppose you think you're really funny!

==Outside==

==Strong Bad Emails==
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I don't know but I've been told, E-mail's best when it don't scroll!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Dumbest Law</div>
Hey Strong Bad! 
What's the dumbest law the King of Town has ever passed? 
Dont you think youd be a better ruler than the King of 
Town? 
Your pal, Roy T. Castle Hill.
</blockquote>
:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==
====Strong Sad====
:'''When Strong Bad walks near, first time only'''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' If you're going to beat me up, make it quick. I've got a full agenda today.

::'''STRONG BAD:''' The emperor's new clothes just need to tumble dry. Then I can put them on.

==Living Room==

===Carpet===
:''{The first time Strong Bad walks over the carpet only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Few can withstand the otherwordly horror of Ugrug: the world's ugliest rug.

===Smoke Detector===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the smoke detector}'' Ah, the smoke detector. AKA: The Place to Find a Spare 9-Volt.
====Lighter → Smoke Detector====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sets fire to the smoke detector}'' Woah! That doesn't make me feel very safe.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the burning smoke detector}'' To be fair, that fire's not actually smoking.

===Window===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the window}'' Aw, man. Of all the weeks I could've picked to install steel bars on all the ground floor windows. At least it stopped Strong Mad's sleepwalking.
====Lighter → Window====
:''{First time only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Gotta send a top-secret coded message to my man on the outside. ''{holds the lighter in the window, flicking it on and off as he talks}'' Operation...Excelsior...Is...Go. Please...Send...Secret...Plans. ''{receives Teen Girl Squad idea}'' All right! It's... a drawing of an egg. Oh boy, I guess I can make a drawing of an omelet now. ''{signals out the window}'' Thanks...for...nothing...moron.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' That'd be a waste of time.

===Plaque (Dog)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Walks back and forth, watching the plaque}'' I don't like the way that hush puppy's eyes follow me when I walk around.

===Plaque (Horse)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' How come none of the Dutch Masters ever worked in the medium of wood-burny-on-tree-slice?

==Looking at Yard==
===Invisible Fence===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to view of fence blocking front door}'' I'm a-gonna have to get rid of that fence before I become a sickly pale shut-in like Strong Sad.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{opens the front door}'' Pallor to the people! ''{closes door}''
===King of Town effigy===
:''{close view of the base of the effigy, surrounded by Creamy Dings, slow pan up, revealing a plain pole bearing the sign "King of Town" and a plain white styrofoam sphere on top}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Wow, Marzipan, you've outdone yourself this time. You really nailed the eyes. It's like I'm staring into the King's beer-battered soul.
====Couch Stuffing → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's ridiculous-looking beard that's supposed to hide his lack of jawline: Check.
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the first inventory item is used on the effigy, regardless of order'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's red and fat and smells like rancid meatloaf?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Mezeh meh?
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No, the other thing!
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh, meh!
::''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Paper Crown → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid crown that gets the King all up in my grill actin' like he owns the place or somethin': Check.
:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Pillow → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's morbid obesity: Check.
:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Red Towel → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Royal Robe in size "husky": Check.
:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the last of the inventory items is used on the effigy, regardless of order.'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello King of Town!
::'''COACH Z:''' It's him! That's the guy! Burn 'im up!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' BURN THE KING!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh well. Take him out, boys!
::''{cut to ground up view of The Cheat, Strong Mad, Homestar and Coach Z. The Cheat smiles, pulls out a lighter, lights it, and walks off screen towards the effigy. Cut to a wide shot of the effigy, which bursts into flames and disappears. The two ends of the invisible fence do the same in turn. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad through the window}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet recently divorced lady freedom! ''{he removes the collar and holds it up in the air, it then bursts into flames and disappears}'' Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia, ''the Free''!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's the name of thi—
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!
::''{fade out. fade in on Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat stand before an audience of Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z and Strong Sad}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of The King of Town. Hencetoforthwith, I shall only refer to him as, "The of Town". As of today, Strong Badia is it's own independent nation!
::''{all gasp}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, if you will...
::''{The Cheat is shown behind the fence, mashing play on a boom box, organ chords begin to play. Cut to Strong Bad, who stands in front of a Strong Badian flag which fills the whole view}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses! ''{Strong Badian national anthem begins}'' That's why I, Strong Bad of the Might Tighty Whities, declare ''war'' on The of Town! Who's with me?! ''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you losers gonna just stand around losing, or help me get past that fence?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That would be illegal!
:'''COACH Z:''' I can't go back to the joint again, man! I ain't goin'!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{zoom in on pile of Creamy Dings at the base of the effigy}'' We started a collection to help pay your back taxes. ''You're welcome!''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas don't involve me wanting to blow my brains out?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Hmm. Probably not.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whiny}'' I'm never gonna get out of this house!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't worry, we'll be here ''every day'' for you until you're released, singing songs 'bout freedom and compression!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{camera slowly zooms out and up into the sky away from Strong Bad}'' Noooooo!

====Protestors → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Why'd you bring that ugly, misshapen stick?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot— nevermind.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My people, we can no longer suffer under the invisible boot of this power-mad tyrant. A call to arms! Who's with me?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{shakes his fist in the air}'' STRONG MAD!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{raises his hand}'' Me!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks at his sides}'' I suppose you think you're really funny!

==Outside==

==Strong Bad Emails==
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I don't know but I've been told, E-mail's best when it don't scroll!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Dumbest Law</div>
Hey Strong Bad! 
What's the dumbest law the King of Town has ever passed? 
Dont you think youd be a better ruler than the King of 
Town? 
Your pal, Roy T. Castle Hill.
</blockquote>
:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==
====Strong Sad====
:'''When Strong Bad walks near, first time only'''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' If you're going to beat me up, make it quick. I've got a full agenda today.

===Look at Yard ===
:'''While under house arrest'''
::''{cut to exterior view, Strong Bad looking out the window over The Cheat, Homestar, Marzipan, Strong Mad and Coach Z. An effigy of the King of Town stands in front of them, consisting of a white globe mounted on a short pole in the ground bearing the sign "King of Town". A pile of Creamy Dings lies at the base}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' What are ''you'' guys doing here? Can't you see I've got enough troubles? I'm a political prisoner!

:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' At least it's finally quiet out there, and relatively stank-free.

=== Plug ===

==Kitchen==

===Cereal===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' What's in the Cheat Commandos-Os box...? ''{finds the eye patch}'' A free sugar-frosted eye patch, just like the one Fightgar wore in the episode "Tickled Pink-Eye!"
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' Cheat Commandos-Os are a delicious part of this ridiculous breakfast.

===Dead Plant===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Charlemagne}'' Strong Sad's suicidal houseplant. If only we had read his journal, we might have seen the signs...
====Lighter → Dead Plant====

===Fridge===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Strong Bad opening the fridge}'' I love how the fridge smells like rotting vegetables, when there's never been a vegetable in it. ''{closes the fridge}''

===Front Door===
:''{While under house arrest}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Cut to Strong Bad walking out the door and past the fence. His head promptly explodes, plastering him against the opposite wall in the Living Room. He peels off and falls to his knees on the floor.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' An invisible fence that makes your head explode when you cross it. Seemed like such an awesome idea when I recommended it at the last town meeting.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He walks out the door. An explosion pastes him to the wall again.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' Shaking off char-head's not nearly as satisfying as shaking off frying pan-head.

==Laundry Room==

===Dryer===
:'''While under house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finds camouflage pants}'' I knew if I ran them in the dryer a few hundred times, they'd shrink down to my size.
::{{short hr}}
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The key to surviving in prison is to not hang out in the laundry room for too long. Or Shiv City, as I like to call it.
:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The emperor's new clothes just need to tumble dry. Then I can put them on.

===Pennants===

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{receives Teen Girl Squad idea}''

===Plaque (Horse)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' How come none of the Dutch Masters ever worked in the medium of wood-burny-on-tree-slice?

::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses! ''{Strong Badian national anthem begins}'' That's why I, Strong Bad of the Might Tighty Whities, declare ''war'' on The of Town! Who's with me?! ''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you losers gonna just stand around losing, or help me get past that fence?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That would be illegal!
:'''COACH Z:''' I can't go back to the joint again, man! I ain't goin'!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{zoom in on pile of Creamy Dings at the base of the effigy}'' We started a collection to help pay your back taxes. ''You're welcome!''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas don't involve me wanting to blow my brains out?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Hmm. Probably not.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whiny}'' I'm never gonna get out of this house!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't worry, we'll be here ''every day'' for you until you're released, singing songs 'bout freedom and compression!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{camera slowly zooms out and up into the sky away from Strong Bad}'' Noooooo!

====Protestors → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Why'd you bring that ugly, misshapen stick?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot— nevermind.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My people, we can no longer suffer under the invisible boot of this power-mad tyrant. A call to arms! Who's with me?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{shakes his fist in the air}'' STRONG MAD!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{raises his hand}'' Me!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks at his sides}'' I suppose you think you're really funny!

==Strong Bad Emails==
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I don't know but I've been told, E-mail's best when it don't scroll!

:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==

=== Light Switch ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad turns the lights off, and then back on}'' Intriguing.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad turns the lights off, and then back on}'' Not so intruguing.

===Look at Yard ===
:'''While under house arrest'''
::''{cut to exterior view, Strong Bad looking out the window over The Cheat, Homestar, Marzipan, Strong Mad and Coach Z. An effigy of the King of Town stands in front of them, consisting of a white globe mounted on a short pole in the ground bearing the sign "King of Town". A pile of Creamy Dings lies at the base}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' What are ''you'' guys doing here? Can't you see I've got enough troubles? I'm a political prisoner!

::'''STRONG BAD:''' Peaceful?!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' FREE STRONG BAD!

::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Save the bats!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' I ven wrote you a protest song! ''{plays the guitar and sings}'' C'mon everybody now, can't you hear the wind blow? We don't like the King of Town makin' people's heads explode.

:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' At least it's finally quiet out there, and relatively stank-free.

=== Plug ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't unplug the Lappy. It takes five to seven business days to fully charge the battery. Lappy don't charge on weekends.

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No blood for creamy dings!

=== Stooly ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, my trusty steed. Stooly, I'd ride you into email battle any day.

==Kitchen==

===Cereal===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' What's in the Cheat Commandos-Os box...? ''{finds the eye patch}'' A free sugar-frosted eye patch, just like the one Fightgar wore in the episode "Tickled Pink-Eye!"
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' Cheat Commandos-Os are a delicious part of this ridiculous breakfast.

===Dead Plant===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Charlemagne}'' Strong Sad's suicidal houseplant. If only we had read his journal, we might have seen the signs...
====Lighter → Dead Plant====

===Fridge===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Strong Bad opening the fridge}'' I love how the fridge smells like rotting vegetables, when there's never been a vegetable in it. ''{closes the fridge}''

===Front Door===
:''{While under house arrest}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Cut to Strong Bad walking out the door and past the fence. His head promptly explodes, plastering him against the opposite wall in the Living Room. He peels off and falls to his knees on the floor.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' An invisible fence that makes your head explode when you cross it. Seemed like such an awesome idea when I recommended it at the last town meeting.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He walks out the door. An explosion pastes him to the wall again.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' Shaking off char-head's not nearly as satisfying as shaking off frying pan-head.

==Laundry Room==

===Dryer===
:'''While under house arrest'''
::'''First time only'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finds camouflage pants}'' I knew if I ran them in the dryer a few hundred times, they'd shrink down to my size.
::{{short hr}}
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The key to surviving in prison is to not hang out in the laundry room for too long. Or Shiv City, as I like to call it.
:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The emperor's new clothes just need to tumble dry. Then I can put them on.

===Pennants===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Those are pennants from various academic institutions, unaccredited and discredited alike.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the smoke detector}'' Ah, the smoke detector. AKA: The Place to Find a Spare 9-Volt.
====Lighter → Smoke Detector====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sets fire to the smoke detector}''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the burning smoke detector}'' To be fair, that fire's not actually smoking.

===Window===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the window}'' Aw, man. Of all the weeks I could've picked to install steel bars on all the ground floor windows. At least it stopped Strong Mad's sleepwalking.
====Lighter → Window====
:''{First time only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{receives Teen Girl Squad idea}''

===Plaque (Horse)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' How come none of the Dutch Masters ever worked in the medium of wood-burny-on-tree-slice?

===Plaque (Dog)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Walks back and forth, watching the plaque}'' I don't like the way that hush puppy's eyes follow me when I walk around.

==Looking at Yard==
===Invisible Fence===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to view of fence blocking front door}'' I'm a-gonna have to get rid of that fence before I become a sickly pale shut-in like Strong Sad.

===King of Town effigy===
:''{close view of the base of the effigy, surrounded by Creamy Dings, slow pan up, revealing a plain pole bearing the sign "King of Town" and a plain white styrofoam sphere on top}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Wow, Marzipan, you've outdone yourself this time. You really nailed the eyes. It's like I'm staring into the King's beer-battered soul.
====Couch Stuffing → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's ridiculous-looking beard that's supposed to hide his lack of jawline: Check.
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the first inventory item is used on the effigy, regardless of order'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's red and fat and smells like rancid meatloaf?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Mezeh meh?
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No, the other thing!

::'''COACH Z:''' It's him! That's the guy! Burn 'im up!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' BURN THE KING!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh well. Take him out, boys!
::''{cut to ground up view of The Cheat, Strong Mad, Homestar and Coach Z. The Cheat smiles, pulls out a lighter, lights it, and walks off screen towards the effigy. Cut to a wide shot of the effigy, which bursts into flames and disappears. The two ends of the invisible fence do the same in turn. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad through the window}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet recently divorced lady freedom! ''{he removes the collar and holds it up in the air, it then bursts into flames and disappears}'' Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia, ''the Free''!

::'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!
::''{fade out. fade in on Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat stand before an audience of Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z and Strong Sad}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of The King of Town. Hencetoforthwith, I shall only refer to him as, "The of Town". As of today, Strong Badia is it's own independent nation!
::''{all gasp}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, if you will...
::''{The Cheat is shown behind the fence, mashing play on a boom box, organ chords begin to play. Cut to Strong Bad, who stands in front of a Strong Badian flag which fills the whole view}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses!

''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.

:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.

''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==
====Strong Sad====
:'''When Strong Bad walks near, first time only'''

Talk:Strong Badia the Free Responses (Bleak House)

2008-09-21T08:04:04Z

Lukeonia1: Created the discussion page. Wondering if these articles could use a to-do list.

==Incomplete list?==

Perhaps this would be a good place for a to-do list, showing all the items and events that need to be transcribed. Then people could mark them off (or delete them) as they do them. I figure it's better than filling the page with {sectionstub} tags. --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 08:04, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

===Strong Mad's Room===

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad's room has been off-limits ever since that crate of bug bombs "mysteriously" went off inside his closet. It should be all cleared out in about a month, though.

===Floppy Disks===

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The complete suite of Edgarware anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-mail, anti-productivity, and antidisestablishmentarianism software.

=== Light Switch ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad turns the lights off, and then back on}'' Intriguing.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad turns the lights off, and then back on}'' Not so intruguing.

===Look at Yard ===
:'''While under house arrest'''
::''{cut to exterior view, Strong Bad looking out the window over The Cheat, Homestar, Marzipan, Strong Mad and Coach Z. An effigy of the King of Town stands in front of them, consisting of a white globe mounted on a short pole in the ground bearing the sign "King of Town". A pile of Creamy Dings lies at the base}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' What are ''you'' guys doing here? Can't you see I've got enough troubles? I'm a political prisoner!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{holding her guitar, Carol}'' That's why we're here, Strong Bad. This is a peaceful protest rally.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Peaceful?!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' FREE STRONG BAD!
::'''COACH Z:''' ''{holding a sign which reads ''"KOT = JRK"''}'' No taxin' without representin'!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Save the bats!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' I ven wrote you a protest song! ''{plays the guitar and sings}'' C'mon everybody now, can't you hear the wind blow? We don't like the King of Town makin' people's heads explode.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! Cruel and unusual!
:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' At least it's finally quiet out there, and relatively stank-free.

=== Plug ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't unplug the Lappy. It takes five to seven business days to fully charge the battery. Lappy don't charge on weekends.

=== Random Shouts ===
:'''Things heard shouted by the protesters outside (also heard when Strong Bad is [[#Looking at Yard|looking out the window]])'''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No blood for creamy dings!
:{{short hr}}
:'''COACH Z:''' No taxin' without representin'!
:{{short hr}}
:'''COACH Z:''' Free Strong Bad!
:{{short hr}}
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{chanting}'' I want a soda!
:{{short hr}}
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Save the bats!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FREE STRONG BAD!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG MAD:''' LET MY PEOPLE GO!

=== Rave Switch ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{robotically}'' Prepare yourself, test commencing.
:''{Camera zooms in and out, light effects and sound clip from techno play}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{robotically}'' I didn't prepare myself.

=== Sign ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I really gotta update that sign with something more forceful... but, eh, that sounds like too much work.

=== Stooly ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, my trusty steed. Stooly, I'd ride you into email battle any day.

==Kitchen==

===Cereal===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' What's in the Cheat Commandos-Os box...? ''{finds the eye patch}'' A free sugar-frosted eye patch, just like the one Fightgar wore in the episode "Tickled Pink-Eye!"
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' Cheat Commandos-Os are a delicious part of this ridiculous breakfast.

===Dead Plant===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Charlemagne}'' Strong Sad's suicidal houseplant. If only we had read his journal, we might have seen the signs...
====Lighter → Dead Plant====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't cremate Charlemagne! His license says he's an organ donor.

===Fridge===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Strong Bad opening the fridge}'' I love how the fridge smells like rotting vegetables, when there's never been a vegetable in it. ''{closes the fridge}''

===Front Door===
:''{While under house arrest}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Cut to Strong Bad walking out the door and past the fence. His head promptly explodes, plastering him against the opposite wall in the Living Room. He peels off and falls to his knees on the floor.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' An invisible fence that makes your head explode when you cross it. Seemed like such an awesome idea when I recommended it at the last town meeting.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He walks out the door. An explosion pastes him to the wall again.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' Shaking off char-head's not nearly as satisfying as shaking off frying pan-head.

==Laundry Room==

===Dryer===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finds camouflage pants}'' I knew if I ran them in the dryer a few hundred times, they'd shrink down to my size.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The emperor's new clothes just need to tumble dry. Then I can put them on.

===Pennants===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Those are pennants from various academic institutions, unaccredited and discredited alike.

===Pillow===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' A big fat pillow filled with big fat dust mites. ''{takes pillow}''.

===Washer===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The key to surviving in prison is to not hang out in the laundry room for too long. Or Shiv City, as I like to call it.

==Living Room==

===Carpet===
:''{The first time Strong Bad walks over the carpet only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Few can withstand the otherwordly horror of Ugrug: the world's ugliest rug.

===Smoke Detector===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the smoke detector}'' Ah, the smoke detector. AKA: The Place to Find a Spare 9-Volt.
====Lighter → Smoke Detector====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sets fire to the smoke detector}''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the burning smoke detector}'' To be fair, that fire's not actually smoking.

===Window===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the window}'' Aw, man. Of all the weeks I could've picked to install steel bars on all the ground floor windows. At least it stopped Strong Mad's sleepwalking.
====Lighter → Window====
:''{First time only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{receives Teen Girl Squad idea}''

===Plaque (Horse)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' How come none of the Dutch Masters ever worked in the medium of wood-burny-on-tree-slice?

===Plaque (Dog)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Walks back and forth, watching the plaque}'' I don't like the way that hush puppy's eyes follow me when I walk around.

==Looking at Yard==
===Invisible Fence===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to view of fence blocking front door}'' I'm a-gonna have to get rid of that fence before I become a sickly pale shut-in like Strong Sad.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{opens the front door}'' Pallor to the people! ''{closes door}''
===King of Town effigy===
:''{close view of the base of the effigy, surrounded by Creamy Dings, slow pan up, revealing a plain pole bearing the sign "King of Town" and a plain white styrofoam sphere on top}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Wow, Marzipan, you've outdone yourself this time. You really nailed the eyes. It's like I'm staring into the King's beer-battered soul.
====Couch Stuffing → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's ridiculous-looking beard that's supposed to hide his lack of jawline: Check.
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the first inventory item is used on the effigy, regardless of order'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's red and fat and smells like rancid meatloaf?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Mezeh meh?
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No, the other thing!
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh, meh!
::''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Paper Crown → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid crown that gets the King all up in my grill actin' like he owns the place or somethin': Check.
:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Pillow → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's morbid obesity: Check.
:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Red Towel → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Royal Robe in size "husky": Check.
:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the last of the inventory items is used on the effigy, regardless of order.'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello King of Town!
::'''COACH Z:''' It's him! That's the guy! Burn 'im up!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' BURN THE KING!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh well. Take him out, boys!
::''{cut to ground up view of The Cheat, Strong Mad, Homestar and Coach Z. The Cheat smiles, pulls out a lighter, lights it, and walks off screen towards the effigy. Cut to a wide shot of the effigy, which bursts into flames and disappears. The two ends of the invisible fence do the same in turn. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad through the window}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet recently divorced lady freedom! ''{he removes the collar and holds it up in the air, it then bursts into flames and disappears}'' Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia, ''the Free''!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's the name of thi—
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!
::''{fade out. fade in on Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat stand before an audience of Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z and Strong Sad}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of The King of Town. Hencetoforthwith, I shall only refer to him as, "The of Town". As of today, Strong Badia is it's own independent nation!
::''{all gasp}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, if you will...
::''{The Cheat is shown behind the fence, mashing play on a boom box, organ chords begin to play. Cut to Strong Bad, who stands in front of a Strong Badian flag which fills the whole view}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses! ''{Strong Badian national anthem begins}'' That's why I, Strong Bad of the Might Tighty Whities, declare ''war'' on The of Town! Who's with me?! ''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you losers gonna just stand around losing, or help me get past that fence?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That would be illegal!
:'''COACH Z:''' I can't go back to the joint again, man! I ain't goin'!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{zoom in on pile of Creamy Dings at the base of the effigy}'' We started a collection to help pay your back taxes. ''You're welcome!''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas don't involve me wanting to blow my brains out?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Hmm. Probably not.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whiny}'' I'm never gonna get out of this house!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't worry, we'll be here ''every day'' for you until you're released, singing songs 'bout freedom and compression!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{camera slowly zooms out and up into the sky away from Strong Bad}'' Noooooo!

====Protestors → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Why'd you bring that ugly, misshapen stick?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot— nevermind.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My people, we can no longer suffer under the invisible boot of this power-mad tyrant. A call to arms! Who's with me?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{shakes his fist in the air}'' STRONG MAD!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{raises his hand}'' Me!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks at his sides}'' I suppose you think you're really funny!

==Outside==

==Strong Bad Emails==
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I don't know but I've been told, E-mail's best when it don't scroll!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Dumbest Law</div>
Hey Strong Bad! 
What's the dumbest law the King of Town has ever passed? 
Dont you think youd be a better ruler than the King of 
Town? 
Your pal, Roy T. Castle Hill.
</blockquote>
:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

:'''Only after annexing the ''Homsar Reservation''.'''
::'''TELEVISION ANNOUNCER:''' Welcome to the 20th century, Homsar! "Raised by a cup of coffee" indeed!

===Trogdor Game===

==Bathroom==

===Mirror===

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! who put the Muscleface 2 movie poster up in the bathroom? Uh...oh wait! It's just my reflection!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's the star of this game? That's right, you are!

===Red Towel===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Sad's old security blanket, Strong Mad's new ''{retches}'' "athletic region" towel. ''{takes towel}''

===Shower===

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Sparkling clean. Must have been Obsessio Depressio's turn to clean the bathroom this week.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Peeks in}'' It's my turn EVERY week!

===Sink===

:'''STRONG BAD:''' I stopped looking through these cabinets after I found Strong Mad's tube of ''{disgustedly}'' below-the-belt paste. ''{Gets a small case of the jibblies}''

===Strong Mad's Room===

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad's room has been off-limits ever since that crate of bug bombs "mysteriously" went off inside his closet. It should be all cleared out in about a month, though.

===Toilet===

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, toilet humor.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, potty humor.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, commode humor.

::'''STRONG BAD:''' You, like so many others, will soon learn what it means to cross the Strong Bad.

===Floppy Disks===

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The complete suite of Edgarware anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-mail, anti-productivity, and antidisestablishmentarianism software.

=== Light Switch ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad turns the lights off, and then back on}'' Intriguing.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad turns the lights off, and then back on}'' Not so intruguing.

===Look at Yard ===
:'''While under house arrest'''
::''{cut to exterior view, Strong Bad looking out the window over The Cheat, Homestar, Marzipan, Strong Mad and Coach Z. An effigy of the King of Town stands in front of them, consisting of a white globe mounted on a short pole in the ground bearing the sign "King of Town". A pile of Creamy Dings lies at the base}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' What are ''you'' guys doing here? Can't you see I've got enough troubles? I'm a political prisoner!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{holding her guitar, Carol}'' That's why we're here, Strong Bad. This is a peaceful protest rally.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Peaceful?!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' FREE STRONG BAD!
::'''COACH Z:''' ''{holding a sign which reads ''"KOT = JRK"''}'' No taxin' without representin'!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Save the bats!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' I ven wrote you a protest song! ''{plays the guitar and sings}'' C'mon everybody now, can't you hear the wind blow? We don't like the King of Town makin' people's heads explode.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! Cruel and unusual!
:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' At least it's finally quiet out there, and relatively stank-free.

=== Plug ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't unplug the Lappy. It takes five to seven business days to fully charge the battery. Lappy don't charge on weekends.

=== Random Shouts ===
:'''Things heard shouted by the protesters outside (also heard when Strong Bad is [[#Looking at Yard|looking out the window]])'''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No blood for creamy dings!
:{{short hr}}
:'''COACH Z:''' No taxin' without representin'!
:{{short hr}}
:'''COACH Z:''' Free Strong Bad!
:{{short hr}}
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{chanting}'' I want a soda!
:{{short hr}}
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Save the bats!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FREE STRONG BAD!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG MAD:''' LET MY PEOPLE GO!

=== Rave Switch ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{robotically}'' Prepare yourself, test commencing.
:''{Camera zooms in and out, light effects and sound clip from techno play}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{robotically}'' I didn't prepare myself.

=== Sign ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I really gotta update that sign with something more forceful... but, eh, that sounds like too much work.

=== Stooly ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, my trusty steed. Stooly, I'd ride you into email battle any day.

==Kitchen==

===Dead Plant===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Charlemagne}'' Strong Sad's suicidal houseplant. If only we had read his journal, we might have seen the signs...
====Lighter → Dead Plant====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't cremate Charlemagne! His license says he's an organ donor.

===Fridge===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Strong Bad opening the fridge}'' I love how the fridge smells like rotting vegetables, when there's never been a vegetable in it. ''{closes the fridge}''

===Front Door===
:''{While under house arrest}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Cut to Strong Bad walking out the door and past the fence. His head promptly explodes, plastering him against the opposite wall in the Living Room. He peels off and falls to his knees on the floor.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' An invisible fence that makes your head explode when you cross it. Seemed like such an awesome idea when I recommended it at the last town meeting.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He walks out the door. An explosion pastes him to the wall again.}'' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbt! ''{shakes the char off his face}'' Shaking off char-head's not nearly as satisfying as shaking off frying pan-head.

===Cereal===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' What's in the Cheat Commandos-Os box...? ''{finds the eye patch}'' A free sugar-frosted eye patch, just like the one Fightgar wore in the episode "Tickled Pink-Eye!"
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' Cheat Commandos-Os are a delicious part of this ridiculous breakfast.

==Laundry Room==

===Dryer===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finds camouflage pants}'' I knew if I ran them in the dryer a few hundred times, they'd shrink down to my size.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The emperor's new clothes just need to tumble dry. Then I can put them on.

===Pennants===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Those are pennants from various academic institutions, unaccredited and discredited alike.

===Pillow===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' A big fat pillow filled with big fat dust mites. ''{takes pillow}''.

===Washer===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The key to surviving in prison is to not hang out in the laundry room for too long. Or Shiv City, as I like to call it.

==Living Room==

===Carpet===
:''{The first time Strong Bad walks over the carpet only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Few can withstand the otherwordly horror of Ugrug: the world's ugliest rug.

===Smoke Detector===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the smoke detector}'' Ah, the smoke detector. AKA: The Place to Find a Spare 9-Volt.
====Lighter → Smoke Detector====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sets fire to the smoke detector}''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the burning smoke detector}'' To be fair, that fire's not actually smoking.

===Window===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the window}'' Aw, man. Of all the weeks I could've picked to install steel bars on all the ground floor windows. At least it stopped Strong Mad's sleepwalking.
====Lighter → Window====
:''{First time only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{receives Teen Girl Squad idea}''

===Plaque (Horse)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' How come none of the Dutch Masters ever worked in the medium of wood-burny-on-tree-slice?

===Plaque (Dog)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Walks back and forth, watching the plaque}'' I don't like the way that hush puppy's eyes follow me when I walk around.

==Looking at Yard==
===Invisible Fence===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to view of fence blocking front door}'' I'm a-gonna have to get rid of that fence before I become a sickly pale shut-in like Strong Sad.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{opens the front door}'' Pallor to the people! ''{closes door}''
===King of Town effigy===
:''{close view of the base of the effigy, surrounded by Creamy Dings, slow pan up, revealing a plain pole bearing the sign "King of Town" and a plain white styrofoam sphere on top}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Wow, Marzipan, you've outdone yourself this time. You really nailed the eyes. It's like I'm staring into the King's beer-battered soul.
====Couch Stuffing → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's ridiculous-looking beard that's supposed to hide his lack of jawline: Check.
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the first inventory item is used on the effigy, regardless of order'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's red and fat and smells like rancid meatloaf?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Mezeh meh?
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No, the other thing!
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh, meh!
::''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Paper Crown → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid crown that gets the King all up in my grill actin' like he owns the place or somethin': Check.

:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Red Towel → Effigy====

:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the last of the inventory items is used on the effigy, regardless of order.'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello King of Town!
::'''COACH Z:''' It's him! That's the guy! Burn 'im up!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' BURN THE KING!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh well. Take him out, boys!
::''{cut to ground up view of The Cheat, Strong Mad, Homestar and Coach Z. The Cheat smiles, pulls out a lighter, lights it, and walks off screen towards the effigy. Cut to a wide shot of the effigy, which bursts into flames and disappears. The two ends of the invisible fence do the same in turn. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad through the window}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet recently divorced lady freedom! ''{he removes the collar and holds it up in the air, it then bursts into flames and disappears}'' Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia, ''the Free''!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's the name of thi—
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!
::''{fade out. fade in on Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat stand before an audience of Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z and Strong Sad}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of The King of Town. Hencetoforthwith, I shall only refer to him as, "The of Town". As of today, Strong Badia is it's own independent nation!
::''{all gasp}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, if you will...
::''{The Cheat is shown behind the fence, mashing play on a boom box, organ chords begin to play. Cut to Strong Bad, who stands in front of a Strong Badian flag which fills the whole view}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses! ''{Strong Badian national anthem begins}'' That's why I, Strong Bad of the Might Tighty Whities, declare ''war'' on The of Town! Who's with me?! ''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you losers gonna just stand around losing, or help me get past that fence?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That would be illegal!
:'''COACH Z:''' I can't go back to the joint again, man! I ain't goin'!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{zoom in on pile of Creamy Dings at the base of the effigy}'' We started a collection to help pay your back taxes. ''You're welcome!''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas don't involve me wanting to blow my brains out?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Hmm. Probably not.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whiny}'' I'm never gonna get out of this house!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't worry, we'll be here ''every day'' for you until you're released, singing songs 'bout freedom and compression!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{camera slowly zooms out and up into the sky away from Strong Bad}'' Noooooo!

====Protestors → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Why'd you bring that ugly, misshapen stick?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot— nevermind.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My people, we can no longer suffer under the invisible boot of this power-mad tyrant. A call to arms! Who's with me?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{shakes his fist in the air}'' STRONG MAD!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{raises his hand}'' Me!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks at his sides}'' I suppose you think you're really funny!

==Outside==

==Strong Bad Emails==
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I don't know but I've been told, E-mail's best when it don't scroll!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Dumbest Law</div>
Hey Strong Bad! 
What's the dumbest law the King of Town has ever passed? 
Dont you think youd be a better ruler than the King of 
Town? 
Your pal, Roy T. Castle Hill.
</blockquote>
:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==
====Strong Sad====
:'''When Strong Bad walks near, first time only'''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' If you're going to beat me up, make it quick. I've got a full agenda today.

Strong Badia the Free Walkthrough

2008-09-21T07:11:50Z

Lukeonia1: /* Flags of the World */ I also misspelled "Concessionstan"

{{cleanup}}

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, the 13 burnable objects, the seven costume items, and the 4 Algebros Manual pages. It is currently missing two Strong Sad names.

{{spoiler}}

==Legend==
A description of events will be written in plaintext.

* '''Mandatory actions will be bulleted and written in boldface.'''
* Actions that increase your awesomeness rating, but are not mandatory, will be bulleted and written in plaintext.
* ''Optional actions that might help you understand the scene will be bulleted and written in italics.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and hypochondria.

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best sadistic drill sergeant impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

::''{cut to ground up view of The Cheat, Strong Mad, Homestar and Coach Z. The Cheat smiles, pulls out a lighter, lights it, and walks off screen towards the effigy. Cut to a wide shot of the effigy, which bursts into flames and disappears. The two ends of the invisible fence do the same in turn. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad through the window}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet recently divorced lady freedom! ''{he removes the collar and holds it up in the air, it then bursts into flames and disappears}'' Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia, ''the Free''!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's the name of thi—
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!
::''{fade out. fade in on Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat stand before an audience of Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z and Strong Sad}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of The King of Town. Hencetoforthwith, I shall only refer to him as, "The of Town". As of today, Strong Badia is it's own independent nation!
::''{all gasp}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, if you will...
::''{The Cheat is shown behind the fence, mashing play on a boom box, organ chords begin to play. Cut to Strong Bad, who stands in front of a Strong Badian flag which fills the whole view}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses! ''{Strong Badian national anthem begins}'' That's why I, Strong Bad of the Might Tighty Whities, declare ''war'' on The of Town! Who's with me?! ''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you losers gonna just stand around losing, or help me get past that fence?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That would be illegal!
:'''COACH Z:''' I can't go back to the joint again, man! I ain't goin'!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{zoom in on pile of Creamy Dings at the base of the effigy}'' We started a collection to help pay your back taxes. ''You're welcome!''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas don't involve me wanting to blow my brains out?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Hmm. Probably not.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whiny}'' I'm never gonna get out of this house!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't worry, we'll be here ''every day'' for you unil you're released, singing songs 'bout freedom and compression!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{camera slowly zooms out and up into the sky away from Strong Bad}'' Noooooo!
====Protestors → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Why'd you bring that ugly, misshapen stick?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot— nevermind.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My people, we can no longer suffer under the invisible boot of this power-mad tyrant. A call to arms! Who's with me?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{shakes his fist in the air}'' STRONG MAD!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{raises his hand}'' Me!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks at his sides}'' I suppose you think you're really funny!

==Outside==

==Strong Bad Emails==
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I don't know but I've been told, E-mail's best when it don't scroll!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Dumbest Law</div>
Hey Strong Bad! 
What's the dumbest law the King of Town has ever passed? 
Dont you think youd be a better ruler than the King of 
Town? 
Your pal, Roy T. Castle Hill.
</blockquote>
:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==
====Strong Sad====
:'''When Strong Bad walks near, first time only'''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad turns the lights off, and then back on}'' Intriguing.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad turns the lights off, and then back on}'' Not so intruguing.

===Look at Yard ===
:'''While under house arrest'''
::''{cut to exterior view, Strong Bad looking out the window over The Cheat, Homestar, Marzipan, Strong Mad and Coach Z. An effigy of the King of Town stands in front of them, consisting of a white globe mounted on a short pole in the ground bearing the sign "King of Town". A pile of Creamy Dings lies at the base}''

::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Save the bats!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' I ven wrote you a protest song! ''{plays the guitar and sings}'' C'mon everybody now, can't you hear the wind blow? We don't like the King of Town makin' people's heads explode.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! Cruel and unusual!
:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' At least it's finally quiet out there, and relatively stank-free.

=== Plug ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't unplug the Lappy. It takes five to seven business days to fully charge the battery. Lappy don't charge on weekends.

=== Random Shouts ===

=== Sign ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I really gotta update that sign with something more forceful... but, eh, that sounds like too much work.

=== Stooly ===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, my trusty steed. Stooly, I'd ride you into email battle any day.

==Kitchen==

===Dead Plant===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Charlemagne}'' Strong Sad's suicidal houseplant. If only we had read his journal, we might have seen the signs...
====Lighter → Dead Plant====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't cremate Charlemagne! His license says he's an organ donor.

===Fridge===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on Strong Bad opening the fridge}'' I love how the fridge smells like rotting vegetables, when there's never been a vegetable in it. ''{closes the fridge}''

===Cereal===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' What's in the Cheat Commandos-Os box...? ''{finds the eye patch}'' A free sugar-frosted eye patch, just like the one Fightgar wore in the episode "Tickled Pink-Eye!"
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the cereal box}'' Cheat Commandos-Os are a delicious part of this ridiculous breakfast.

==Laundry Room==

===Dryer===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finds camouflage pants}'' I knew if I ran them in the dryer a few hundred times, they'd shrink down to my size.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The emperor's new clothes just need to tumble dry. Then I can put them on.

===Pennants===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Those are pennants from various academic institutions, unaccredited and discredited alike.

===Pillow===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' A big fat pillow filled with big fat dust mites. ''{takes pillow}''.

===Washer===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The key to surviving in prison is to not hang out in the laundry room for too long. Or Shiv City, as I like to call it.

==Living Room==

===Carpet===
:''{The first time Strong Bad walks over the carpet only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Few can withstand the otherwordly horror of Ugrug: the world's ugliest rug.

===Smoke Detector===
====Lighter → Smoke Detector====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sets fire to the smoke detector}''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the burning smoke detector}'' To be fair, that fire's not actually smoking.

===Window===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{zoom in on the window}'' Aw, man. Of all the weeks I could've picked to install steel bars on all the ground floor windows. At least it stopped Strong Mad's sleepwalking.
====Lighter → Window====
:''{First time only}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{receives Teen Girl Squad idea}''

===Plaque (Horse)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' How come none of the Dutch Masters ever worked in the medium of wood-burny-on-tree-slice?

===Plaque (Dog)===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Walks back and forth, watching the plaque}'' I don't like the way that hush puppy's eyes follow me when I walk around.

==Looking at Yard==
===Invisible Fence===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to view of fence blocking front door}'' I'm a-gonna have to get rid of that fence before I become a sickly pale shut-in like Strong Sad.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{opens the front door}'' Pallor to the people! ''{closes door}''
===King of Town effigy===
:''{close view of the base of the effigy, surrounded by Creamy Dings, slow pan up, revealing a plain pole bearing the sign "King of Town" and a plain white styrofoam sphere on top}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Wow, Marzipan, you've outdone yourself this time. You really nailed the eyes. It's like I'm staring into the King's beer-battered soul.
====Couch Stuffing → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's ridiculous-looking beard that's supposed to hide his lack of jawline: Check.
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the first inventory item is used on the effigy, regardless of order'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's red and fat and smells like rancid meatloaf?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Mezeh meh?
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No, the other thing!
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh, meh!
::''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Paper Crown → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid crown that gets the King all up in my grill actin' like he owns the place or somethin': Check.

:''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the last of the inventory items is used on the effigy, regardless of order.'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello King of Town!
::'''COACH Z:''' It's him! That's the guy! Burn 'im up!
::'''STRONG MAD:''' BURN THE KING!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh well. Take him out, boys!
::''{cut to ground up view of The Cheat, Strong Mad, Homestar and Coach Z. The Cheat smiles, pulls out a lighter, lights it, and walks off screen towards the effigy. Cut to a wide shot of the effigy, which bursts into flames and disappears. The two ends of the invisible fence do the same in turn. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad through the window}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet recently divorced lady freedom! ''{he removes the collar and holds it up in the air, it then bursts into flames and disappears}'' Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia, ''the Free''!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's the name of thi—
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!
::''{fade out. fade in on Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat stand before an audience of Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z and Strong Sad}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of The King of Town. Hencetoforthwith, I shall only refer to him as, "The of Town". As of today, Strong Badia is it's own independent nation!
::''{all gasp}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, if you will...
::''{The Cheat is shown behind the fence, mashing play on a boom box, organ chords begin to play. Cut to Strong Bad, who stands in front of a Strong Badian flag which fills the whole view}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses! ''{Strong Badian national anthem begins}'' That's why I, Strong Bad of the Might Tighty Whities, declare ''war'' on The of Town! Who's with me?! ''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you losers gonna just stand around losing, or help me get past that fence?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That would be illegal!
:'''COACH Z:''' I can't go back to the joint again, man! I ain't goin'!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{zoom in on pile of Creamy Dings at the base of the effigy}'' We started a collection to help pay your back taxes. ''You're welcome!''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas don't involve me wanting to blow my brains out?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Hmm. Probably not.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whiny}'' I'm never gonna get out of this house!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't worry, we'll be here ''every day'' for you unil you're released, singing songs 'bout freedom and compression!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{camera slowly zooms out and up into the sky away from Strong Bad}'' Noooooo!
====Protestors → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Why'd you bring that ugly, misshapen stick?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot— nevermind.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My people, we can no longer suffer under the invisible boot of this power-mad tyrant. A call to arms! Who's with me?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{shakes his fist in the air}'' STRONG MAD!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{raises his hand}'' Me!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks at his sides}'' I suppose you think you're really funny!

==Outside==

==Strong Bad Emails==
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I don't know but I've been told, E-mail's best when it don't scroll!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Dumbest Law</div>
Hey Strong Bad! 
What's the dumbest law the King of Town has ever passed? 
Dont you think youd be a better ruler than the King of 
Town? 
Your pal, Roy T. Castle Hill.
</blockquote>
:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==
====Strong Sad====
:'''When Strong Bad walks near, first time only'''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' If you're going to beat me up, make it quick. I've got a full agenda today.

==Looking at Yard==

::''{cut to ground up view of The Cheat, Strong Mad, Homestar and Coach Z. The Cheat smiles, pulls out a lighter, lights it, and walks off screen towards the effigy. Cut to a wide shot of the effigy, which bursts into flames and disappears. The two ends of the invisible fence do the same in turn. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad through the window}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet recently divorced lady freedom! ''{he removes the collar and holds it up in the air, it then bursts into flames and disappears}'' Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia, ''the Free''!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's the name of thi—
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!
::''{fade out. fade in on Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat stand before an audience of Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z and Strong Sad}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of The King of Town. Hencetoforthwith, I shall only refer to him as, "The of Town". As of today, Strong Badia is it's own independent nation!
::''{all gasp}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, if you will...
::''{The Cheat is shown behind the fence, mashing play on a boom box, organ chords begin to play. Cut to Strong Bad, who stands in front of a Strong Badian flag which fills the whole view}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses! ''{Strong Badian national anthem begins}'' That's why I, Strong Bad of the Might Tighty Whities, declare ''war'' on The of Town! Who's with me?! ''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you losers gonna just stand around losing, or help me get past that fence?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That would be illegal!
:'''COACH Z:''' I can't go back to the joint again, man! I ain't goin'!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{zoom in on pile of Creamy Dings at the base of the effigy}'' We started a collection to help pay your back taxes. ''You're welcome!''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas don't involve me wanting to blow my brains out?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Hmm. Probably not.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whiny}'' I'm never gonna get out of this house!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't worry, we'll be here ''every day'' for you unil you're released, singing songs 'bout freedom and compression!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{camera slowly zooms out and up into the sky away from Strong Bad}'' Noooooo!
====Protestors → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Why'd you bring that ugly, misshapen stick?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot— nevermind.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My people, we can no longer suffer under the invisible boot of this power-mad tyrant. A call to arms! Who's with me?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{shakes his fist in the air}'' STRONG MAD!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{raises his hand}'' Me!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks at his sides}'' I suppose you think you're really funny!

==Outside==

==Strong Bad Emails==
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I don't know but I've been told, E-mail's best when it don't scroll!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Dumbest Law</div>
Hey Strong Bad! 
What's the dumbest law the King of Town has ever passed? 
Dont you think youd be a better ruler than the King of 
Town? 
Your pal, Roy T. Castle Hill.
</blockquote>
:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==
====Strong Sad====
:'''When Strong Bad walks near, first time only'''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' If you're going to beat me up, make it quick. I've got a full agenda today.

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====

:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—

:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

::''{cut to exterior view, Strong Bad looking out the window over The Cheat, Homestar, Marzipan, Strong Mad and Coach Z.

:'''After escaping from house arrest'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' At least it's finally quiet out there, and relatively stank-free.

===King of Town effigy===

Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==
====Strong Sad====
:'''When Strong Bad walks near, first time only'''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' If you're going to beat me up, make it quick. I've got a full agenda today.

Strong Badia the Free Walkthrough

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, the 13 burnable objects, the seven costume items, and the 4 Algebros Manual pages. It is currently missing three Strong Sad names.

{{spoiler}}

==Legend==
A description of events will be written in plaintext.

* '''Mandatory actions will be bulleted and written in boldface.'''
* Actions that increase your awesomeness rating, but are not mandatory, will be bulleted and written in plaintext.
* ''Optional actions that might help you understand the scene will be bulleted and written in italics.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

Strong Badia the Free Responses (Bleak House)

2008-09-21T05:55:10Z

Lukeonia1: /* Drawing */

===King of Town effigy===
:''{close view of the base of the effigy, surrounded by Creamy Dings, slow pan up, revealing a plain pole bearing the sign "King of Town" and a plain white styrofoam sphere on top}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Wow, Marzipan, you've outdone yourself this time. You really nailed the eyes. It's like I'm staring into the King's beer-battered soul.
====Couch Stuffing → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King's ridiculous-looking beard that's supposed to hide his lack of jawline: Check.
:'''The following dialogue occurs after the first inventory item is used on the effigy, regardless of order'''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's red and fat and smells like rancid meatloaf?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' Mezeh meh?

::''{The Cheat runs towards the effigy (off-screen) and a banging noise is heard. Afterward, cut to the effigy showing the new item added}''
====Paper Crown → Effigy====

::'''STRONG MAD:''' BURN THE KING!
::'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh well. Take him out, boys!
::''{cut to ground up view of The Cheat, Strong Mad, Homestar and Coach Z. The Cheat smiles, pulls out a lighter, lights it, and walks off screen towards the effigy. Cut to a wide shot of the effigy, which bursts into flames and disappears. The two ends of the invisible fence do the same in turn. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad through the window}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet recently divorced lady freedom! ''{he removes the collar and holds it up in the air, it then bursts into flames and disappears}'' Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia, ''the Free''!
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's the name of thi—
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!
::''{fade out. fade in on Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat stand before an audience of Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z and Strong Sad}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of The King of Town. Hencetoforthwith, I shall only refer to him as, "The of Town". As of today, Strong Badia is it's own independent nation!
::''{all gasp}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, if you will...
::''{The Cheat is shown behind the fence, mashing play on a boom box, organ chords begin to play. Cut to Strong Bad, who stands in front of a Strong Badian flag which fills the whole view}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' We should all live in a place where we are free! Free to pick our friends! Free to pick our noses! And most importantly, free to pick our friends' noses! ''{Strong Badian national anthem begins}'' That's why I, Strong Bad of the Might Tighty Whities, declare ''war'' on The of Town! Who's with me?! ''{blowing wind is heard, cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia, where now only Strong Bad and The Cheat remain}'' Where'd everybody go?
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Seceded!?'' They can't do that! ''I'm'' the only one who gets his own country!

===Mailbox===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, I guess I ''could'' wait for an eviction notice. That would get me out of the house.
===Package===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, ain't that always the way. The one day an interesting package comes in the mail, is the day you get put under house arrest for tax evasion.
===Protestors===
====Protestors → Fence====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you losers gonna just stand around losing, or help me get past that fence?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That would be illegal!
:'''COACH Z:''' I can't go back to the joint again, man! I ain't goin'!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{zoom in on pile of Creamy Dings at the base of the effigy}'' We started a collection to help pay your back taxes. ''You're welcome!''
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas how I can break house arrest and get past that fence?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' No, but I've got some great ideas for things you can do indoors. Build a birdhouse, make a rabbit lean-to, construct a beetle pagoda—
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Any ideas don't involve me wanting to blow my brains out?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Hmm. Probably not.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whiny}'' I'm never gonna get out of this house!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't worry, we'll be here ''every day'' for you unil you're released, singing songs 'bout freedom and compression!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{camera slowly zooms out and up into the sky away from Strong Bad}'' Noooooo!
====Protestors → Effigy====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Why'd you bring that ugly, misshapen stick?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She organized the protest rally!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Not Marzipan! ''{softly}'' Though that's a pretty good one, gotta remember that. ''{speaking normally}'' I'm talking 'bout that stick dangerously close to the invisible fence.
:'''COACH Z:''' That's our orfigy of the King of Town! Er, arfigy. RPG. First person shooter!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Effigy? That looks nothing like the King of Town.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, Marzipan made us take all that stuff off.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Right, Homestar. We're protesting the ''actions'' of the King of Town, not the man himself.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' FIGHT THE POWER!
:'''COACH Z:''' We was gonna burn it, but after lookin' at that pathetic thing, our hearts just ain't in it. We want to fry up the King of Town, not Stickball Jackson.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Shouldn't you all be putting a torch to that quote-unquote effigy?
:'''COACH Z:''' Eh. It's just a stick. Can't really get into protestin' a simple stick.
====Protestors → No King of Town====
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this is ''so'' unfair. I gotta write an angry letter to my doughy congressman.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Didn't you see the warning message about the new e-mail tax?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' No, I didn't see the warning message about the new e-mail tax. ''{speaking normally}'' All messages from the King of Town get intercepted with extreme prejudice by my idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot filter.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I sent you all kinds of reminder e-mails!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot— nevermind.
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My people, we can no longer suffer under the invisible boot of this power-mad tyrant. A call to arms! Who's with me?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{shakes his fist in the air}'' STRONG MAD!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{raises his hand}'' Me!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks at his sides}'' I suppose you think you're really funny!

==Outside==

==Strong Bad Emails==
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I don't know but I've been told, E-mail's best when it don't scroll!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Dumbest Law</div>
Hey Strong Bad! 
What's the dumbest law the King of Town has ever passed? 
Dont you think youd be a better ruler than the King of 
Town? 
Your pal, Roy T. Castle Hill.
</blockquote>
:''{Strong Bad pronounces "dont" as dahnt and "youd" as ya-ood}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Roytee, it goes without saying that I'd be a better ruler than the King of Town. ''{clears screen}'' But seriously, who wants that job? Stuck in a castle all day, stuck making dumb laws, probably stuck in the bathtub... no thanks, man. ''{cut to over the shoulder shot of Strong Bad}'' And the King of Town's mostly harmless. Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative. ''{Strong Bad looks at the camera}'' Ooh, I think I'd like to the lazy fair.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{standing in the doorway, theme music begins to play}'' Aha! Caught you red gloved-ed.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' The King of Town?! How'd ''you'' get in here?

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' In flagrant disregard of my new e-mail tax, eh? One Creamy Ding snack cake for every e-mail sent or received!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' E-mail tax?! ''{zoom in}'' Flagrant?! ''{zoom in}'' Creamy ... ''{zoom in}'' Ding?!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, so you refuse to pay? Poopsmith, administer the collar of obedience!

:''{The Poopsmith climbs in through the window, wearing the municipality armor and clubs Strong Bad off of Stooly to the floor}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you doing?! Hey, cut that out! ''{overlapping}'' Ow! My freedom!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You are under house arrest. You have the right to bribe me. ''{cut to Strong Bad, who is now wearing a metal collar with a flashing red light}'' Anything you offer will be eaten by me whether cooked or raw. ''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''! Hope you weren't attached to that head. And one more thing, ''{The King of Town takes and eats Strong Bad's map from the previous game}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' My map! I need that!

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This'll make sure you stay put until you can pay up! Now let's ride, Poopsmith! Gotta go collect on my new Pour-a-Bag-of-Jellybeans-Down-My-Gullet tax! ''{The King of Town exits. The Poopsmith follows, crouching behind his shield and walking backwards out of the room}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustache pounding.

==Strong Bad's Room==
===Trophy Case===
:'''First time only'''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' My crown from Blubb-O's. ''{takes crown}'' Why did they ever stop making the Jalapeno 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe? ''Why''?!
:{{short hr}}
:'''STRONG BAD:''' This is where I usually keep all my trophies and awards, but, uh... they're all out a ceremony right now, getting trophies for being such good awards.

===Videlectrix Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! My wall is exploding with video games! Nyaow! Nyaow! Nyaow!

===Dangeresque 3 Poster===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I probably could have finished Dangeresque 3 by now if I hadn't spent so much time working on that teaser poster. Pretty good likeness of the leading man, though. Well hello, Mister Hot-... I'm gonna stop hitting on myself.

===Drawing Table===
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man. I wish I hadn't used up all of my paper drawing that scientifically accurate picture of the King of Town. I guess the next issue of Teen Girl Squad will have to wait.

==Strong Sad's Room==

Talk:Strong Badia the Free Walkthrough

2008-09-21T05:36:22Z

Lukeonia1: /* Superwikifying */

==Strong Badia the Free==
um, I tried playing the free demo of strong badia the free, but you can't get out of sb's house, so you can't really do anything. somebody please post something either on the talk page or the main article for the walkthrough of sbcg4ap, episode 2. -[[user:Mas12806|Mas12806]]
: Have you looked out the window in the computer room yet? See that horrible "effigy" that's supposed to be the King of Town? Try helping them out by giving them stuff that will make the effigy more Kingly and Of Townly. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
::I'll start working on it now; when I made it, I was at school, and I didn't have any time to do anything. I just...noticed it hadn't been made yet. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
:::There, Part 1 is done! Dinner's on now, so I'll get crackin' on it in a little bit. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
::::Er... we really, really, '''REALLY''' need to standardize these things. Homestar Ruiner's walkthrough ''does'' cover 100% completion, so now we have two contradictory walkthroughs. I still propose my idea for the Homestar Ruiner walkthrough: Make it a list, rather than prose, with mandatory things separated from the optional things by '''bolding''' them or making them a different color or something. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:09, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::Well, I was going to put a small note that it won't put 100% completion YET, because I didn't want to have a walkthrough that ''claimed'' to get you everything when I don't have everything (I don't have every Strong Sad insult, and I stumbled upon the beret, and I can't remember exactly how I got it). I planned to make it a 100% eventually/very soon/when I actually get 100%. As for a lifeless list of commands instead of a chuckle-inspiring prose, why have a lifeless list of commands when you can have a chuckle-inspiring prose? {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
::::::A list need not be lifeleless, and it's easier to read. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:08, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Easier to read and more encyclopedic. And Superfield, to call your own work "chuckle-inspiring" is a bit ... what's the word I'm looking for? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Well, I can obviously see that my current work is unliked and doomed. If you want, I'll make it just like the current Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough. While I still would prefer to continue the walkthrough as I have been, I will be satsfied to do it your way. I just want to contribute something bigger than normal. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
::::::::::It's plainer to see that my contribution on ANY level any more is totally unwanted. You all have it down-pat, so I'll leave you to finish up. And delete any and all work I've done. Ah, well. Maybe I can write the walkthrough for Baddest of the Bands... {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}} P.S. I still call dibs on writing the "Maps and Minions" walkthrough. I can beat it in 9 rounds.

:Look, I didn't try to tick anyone off. I was just trying to avoid an argument by standardizing this. There's still some work to do... and there's still a place where you can add stuff and produce "chuckle-inspiring" commentary. I just figured that the faster this was done, the better off everyone would be. Sorry. [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
:: No need to apologize. You did nothing wrong. Superfield is taking this more personally than he probably should be (we didn't mean any offense, really!) and I like what you did with the walkthrough. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I did take it too seriously. But I just like doing stuff my way, alone. It sounds egotistical and Strong Sad-istical, but when you work alone (as opposed to a team), no one will argue with you about how it's supposed to be done. That's why nothing good was ever made by a committee coming to a consensus about a product a la Apple III. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
::::Okay, looks like we're all cool. There are still a bunch of things people can add, like the costumes, Strong Sad insults, and various Easter Eggs (here's one: rig the Draft Wheel to land on Li'l Brudder. Trust me). Also, I appreciate Jay and others for establishing a less formal method of doing walkthroughs -- as a TVTropes alum, I'm more used to breezier language and have been called on doing "informal" stuff elsewhere. Oh, and to anyone who likes portmanteaux: you can have "non-sequitastic" for free. :) [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
:::::Actually, my favorite line you wrote is the one about the lopsided test of wills. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

We happen to be a team. That's all I want to say. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

==Necessary points==

Is it really necessary to add such things to the walkthrough like:

* Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".

-and-

* Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.
* Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!

when these aren't necessary to complete the game or get 100%? They do produce humorous results, but if SOME of those are in the walkthrough they all should be, IMO. I think they should all be in a "Did you try...?" section like the ones on Tell Tale's website.
(I forgot to sign-a my post-a) {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 05:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:Let me defend my work here. I'm not a fan of walkthroughs that just tell you "Do this, do this, do this, preheat the oven, blah blah blah." In an exploration game, and ''especially'' one like this with so many tricks, it seems to make sense to show people ''why'' and not just ''what''. For example: Why the crap would you drop the power strip, tuning fork, and 3-ring binder in the pylon? Because the cave painting depicts the places you dug them up. To butcher the saying, "Give a man a solution, and he'll be playing one episode; Teach him the solution and he'll succeed playing Episode 3." [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
::I understand that reasoning, but I could also say, in rebuttal, that this form of writing could lead readers into thinking that those events are necessary for each step. This is just my opinion and you also have a good point. However, I'm not a fan of doing things listed in walkthroughs and looking back at a particular step and asking "what good did that do?" when the point of a walkthrough (again, in my opinion) is to help you get out of a place you're stuck in. Even so, you can still write the Tony Stony step in a way that still teaches the reader the mechanics of the draft. Something like:
::* Placing Tony Stony in a slot on the model UN wheel will weigh the draft lottery wheel down and make the tile opposite it be the winner. The goal is to draft Coach Z and the slot opposite his tile is Poopslovakia's.
::or something LIKE that (I'm not too good at phrasing things, but you get the idea). {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 05:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:::That's a good point. As this Walkthrough becomes more standardized -- i.e., once we get all the 100% completion items up -- I'll add the Legend from [[Homestar Ruiner]], so that the items that explain the game will be ''italicized'', and the bare minimum will be '''bolded''' as on that page. That's a fair compromise... but I'd rather wait until we have a complete unit to do that, and I lost my notes from last night's fried chicken pizza bender. [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
::::I'm not so sure about keeping the organ-at-Bubs' thing — it's pretty obvious you need to take it to the black market from the start. But I'd keep the part about putting Tony Stony in the Strong Badia display, for one simple reason: isn't that the most logical place for it to go if you don't have a better idea? It's conspicuously empty and Marzipan tells Strong Bad that he can put something in it. But, yeah, once everything's all set up, we should '''bold''' the mandatory stuff and ''italicize'' the "just for flavor" steps as in the [[Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:16, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::That's a good idea too. Kinda one-o-dose "have your cake and eat it too" sort of things. Bold things that add points toward the "100%-ness" of the game while still leaving the mechanics reminding/informing steps as well. I haven't seen the Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough before now so I didn't know that's what the ultimate goal was (and I like it). {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 12:07, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

==Superwikifying==

I put a few spare Wikipedia links (hypochondria and R. Lee Ermey) in appropriate areas to avoid a giant "Explanations" section. I was thinking of expanding a little on this idea. For example, where it's noted that the concession stand is an economy-based neutral zone, a Wikipedia link to Switzerland would help explain the reference. Would this be overkill? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]

:Yes. I also recommend removing the R. Lee Ermey link. It's not referenced in the game, and I think if we need to provide such links to explain our own wiki articles, we need to rewrite the articles. These wiki pages should be as self-explanatory as possible, don't you think? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 05:36, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

==Major Revision III==

Since this walkthrough has been only mostly-complete since Thursday I'm going to see if I can add the remaining missing pieces, such as the Math Kickers pages, Strong Sad insults, and costume items. I'm also going to re-edit the walkthrough to match the formatting for the Homestar Ruiner walkthrough, since that format seems to work well, and there were no objections there. I'll get right on this, so the page will probably be a work in progress for most of the afternoon. I'll keep an eye on this discussion page if anyone objects/has other plans. Bear with me, people? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 20:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

:Okay, I'm pretty sure I have all the major article elements in place now. This article still contains a LOT more information than the Homestar Ruiner walkthrough, so I think either this one needs trimming down, or the Homestar Ruiner one needs more embellishment. Also: where the crap is that last Algebros Manual page?? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 04:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, the 13 burnable objects, and the seven costume items. It is currently missing one Math Kickers page, and three Strong Sad names.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===The Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the Free Country USA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The Of Town's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*Dig around on the opposite side of Strong Badia to find some of Gampaw's old war medals.
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===The Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the FCUSA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The oT's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*Look at the shower to call Strong Sad another name.
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===The Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the FCUSA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The oT's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===The Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the FCUSA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The oT's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, and the 13 burnable objects. It is currently missing one Math Kickers page, four Strong Sad names, and one costume item.

{{spoiler}}

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===The Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the FCUSA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The oT's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, and the 13 burnable objects. It is currently missing one Math Kickers page, four Strong Sad names, and one costume item.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===The Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the FCUSA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The oT's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Teen Girl Squad Cards==

Talk:Strong Badia the Free Walkthrough

2008-09-21T04:56:06Z

Lukeonia1: /* Major Revision III */

==Strong Badia the Free==
um, I tried playing the free demo of strong badia the free, but you can't get out of sb's house, so you can't really do anything. somebody please post something either on the talk page or the main article for the walkthrough of sbcg4ap, episode 2. -[[user:Mas12806|Mas12806]]
: Have you looked out the window in the computer room yet? See that horrible "effigy" that's supposed to be the King of Town? Try helping them out by giving them stuff that will make the effigy more Kingly and Of Townly. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
::I'll start working on it now; when I made it, I was at school, and I didn't have any time to do anything. I just...noticed it hadn't been made yet. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
:::There, Part 1 is done! Dinner's on now, so I'll get crackin' on it in a little bit. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
::::Er... we really, really, '''REALLY''' need to standardize these things. Homestar Ruiner's walkthrough ''does'' cover 100% completion, so now we have two contradictory walkthroughs. I still propose my idea for the Homestar Ruiner walkthrough: Make it a list, rather than prose, with mandatory things separated from the optional things by '''bolding''' them or making them a different color or something. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:09, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::Well, I was going to put a small note that it won't put 100% completion YET, because I didn't want to have a walkthrough that ''claimed'' to get you everything when I don't have everything (I don't have every Strong Sad insult, and I stumbled upon the beret, and I can't remember exactly how I got it). I planned to make it a 100% eventually/very soon/when I actually get 100%. As for a lifeless list of commands instead of a chuckle-inspiring prose, why have a lifeless list of commands when you can have a chuckle-inspiring prose? {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
::::::A list need not be lifeleless, and it's easier to read. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:08, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Easier to read and more encyclopedic. And Superfield, to call your own work "chuckle-inspiring" is a bit ... what's the word I'm looking for? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Well, I can obviously see that my current work is unliked and doomed. If you want, I'll make it just like the current Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough. While I still would prefer to continue the walkthrough as I have been, I will be satsfied to do it your way. I just want to contribute something bigger than normal. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
::::::::::It's plainer to see that my contribution on ANY level any more is totally unwanted. You all have it down-pat, so I'll leave you to finish up. And delete any and all work I've done. Ah, well. Maybe I can write the walkthrough for Baddest of the Bands... {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}} P.S. I still call dibs on writing the "Maps and Minions" walkthrough. I can beat it in 9 rounds.

:Look, I didn't try to tick anyone off. I was just trying to avoid an argument by standardizing this. There's still some work to do... and there's still a place where you can add stuff and produce "chuckle-inspiring" commentary. I just figured that the faster this was done, the better off everyone would be. Sorry. [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
:: No need to apologize. You did nothing wrong. Superfield is taking this more personally than he probably should be (we didn't mean any offense, really!) and I like what you did with the walkthrough. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I did take it too seriously. But I just like doing stuff my way, alone. It sounds egotistical and Strong Sad-istical, but when you work alone (as opposed to a team), no one will argue with you about how it's supposed to be done. That's why nothing good was ever made by a committee coming to a consensus about a product a la Apple III. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
::::Okay, looks like we're all cool. There are still a bunch of things people can add, like the costumes, Strong Sad insults, and various Easter Eggs (here's one: rig the Draft Wheel to land on Li'l Brudder. Trust me). Also, I appreciate Jay and others for establishing a less formal method of doing walkthroughs -- as a TVTropes alum, I'm more used to breezier language and have been called on doing "informal" stuff elsewhere. Oh, and to anyone who likes portmanteaux: you can have "non-sequitastic" for free. :) [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
:::::Actually, my favorite line you wrote is the one about the lopsided test of wills. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

We happen to be a team. That's all I want to say. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

==Necessary points==

Is it really necessary to add such things to the walkthrough like:

* Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".

-and-

* Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.
* Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!

when these aren't necessary to complete the game or get 100%? They do produce humorous results, but if SOME of those are in the walkthrough they all should be, IMO. I think they should all be in a "Did you try...?" section like the ones on Tell Tale's website.
(I forgot to sign-a my post-a) {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 05:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:Let me defend my work here. I'm not a fan of walkthroughs that just tell you "Do this, do this, do this, preheat the oven, blah blah blah." In an exploration game, and ''especially'' one like this with so many tricks, it seems to make sense to show people ''why'' and not just ''what''. For example: Why the crap would you drop the power strip, tuning fork, and 3-ring binder in the pylon? Because the cave painting depicts the places you dug them up. To butcher the saying, "Give a man a solution, and he'll be playing one episode; Teach him the solution and he'll succeed playing Episode 3." [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
::I understand that reasoning, but I could also say, in rebuttal, that this form of writing could lead readers into thinking that those events are necessary for each step. This is just my opinion and you also have a good point. However, I'm not a fan of doing things listed in walkthroughs and looking back at a particular step and asking "what good did that do?" when the point of a walkthrough (again, in my opinion) is to help you get out of a place you're stuck in. Even so, you can still write the Tony Stony step in a way that still teaches the reader the mechanics of the draft. Something like:
::* Placing Tony Stony in a slot on the model UN wheel will weigh the draft lottery wheel down and make the tile opposite it be the winner. The goal is to draft Coach Z and the slot opposite his tile is Poopslovakia's.
::or something LIKE that (I'm not too good at phrasing things, but you get the idea). {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 05:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:::That's a good point. As this Walkthrough becomes more standardized -- i.e., once we get all the 100% completion items up -- I'll add the Legend from [[Homestar Ruiner]], so that the items that explain the game will be ''italicized'', and the bare minimum will be '''bolded''' as on that page. That's a fair compromise... but I'd rather wait until we have a complete unit to do that, and I lost my notes from last night's fried chicken pizza bender. [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
::::I'm not so sure about keeping the organ-at-Bubs' thing — it's pretty obvious you need to take it to the black market from the start. But I'd keep the part about putting Tony Stony in the Strong Badia display, for one simple reason: isn't that the most logical place for it to go if you don't have a better idea? It's conspicuously empty and Marzipan tells Strong Bad that he can put something in it. But, yeah, once everything's all set up, we should '''bold''' the mandatory stuff and ''italicize'' the "just for flavor" steps as in the [[Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:16, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::That's a good idea too. Kinda one-o-dose "have your cake and eat it too" sort of things. Bold things that add points toward the "100%-ness" of the game while still leaving the mechanics reminding/informing steps as well. I haven't seen the Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough before now so I didn't know that's what the ultimate goal was (and I like it). {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 12:07, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

==Superwikifying==

I put a few spare Wikipedia links (hypochondria and R. Lee Ermey) in appropriate areas to avoid a giant "Explanations" section. I was thinking of expanding a little on this idea. For example, where it's noted that the concession stand is an economy-based neutral zone, a Wikipedia link to Switzerland would help explain the reference. Would this be overkill? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]

==Major Revision III==

Since this walkthrough has been only mostly-complete since Thursday I'm going to see if I can add the remaining missing pieces, such as the Math Kickers pages, Strong Sad insults, and costume items. I'm also going to re-edit the walkthrough to match the formatting for the Homestar Ruiner walkthrough, since that format seems to work well, and there were no objections there. I'll get right on this, so the page will probably be a work in progress for most of the afternoon. I'll keep an eye on this discussion page if anyone objects/has other plans. Bear with me, people? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 20:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

:Okay, I'm pretty sure I have all the major article elements in place now. This article still contains a LOT more information than the Homestar Ruiner walkthrough, so I think either this one needs trimming down, or the Homestar Ruiner one needs more embellishment. Also: where the crap is that last Algebros Manual page?? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 04:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Strong Badia the Free Walkthrough

2008-09-21T04:51:18Z

Lukeonia1: Okay, I think I'm finished with major revisions. It still needs a lot of cleaning up though.

{{cleanup}}

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, and the 13 burnable objects. It is currently missing one Math Kickers page, four Strong Sad names, and one costume item.

{{spoiler}}

==Legend==
A description of events will be written in plaintext.

* '''Mandatory actions will be bulleted and written in boldface.'''
* Actions that increase your awesomeness rating, but are not mandatory, will be bulleted and written in plaintext.
* ''Optional actions that might help you understand the scene will be bulleted and written in italics.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===The Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the FCUSA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The oT's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

Strong Badia the Free Walkthrough

2008-09-21T04:45:46Z

Lukeonia1: /* Strong Sad Names */ Still more cleanup

{{pageinprogress}}

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, and the 13 burnable objects. It is currently missing one Math Kickers page, four Strong Sad names, and one costume item.

{{spoiler}}

==Legend==
A description of events will be written in plaintext.

* '''Mandatory actions will be bulleted and written in boldface.'''
* Actions that increase your awesomeness rating, but are not mandatory, will be bulleted and written in plaintext.
* ''Optional actions that might help you understand the scene will be bulleted and written in italics.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===The Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the FCUSA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The oT's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Teen Girl Squad Cards==
There are four ancient scrolls, each containing an image that gives Strong Bad a great idea for the Teen Girl Squad.
*Tar Pit - On Strong Sad's bookcase
*Dinosaur Egg - Received after signalling with the lighter out Strong Bad's barred window
*Alien - Buried on the Homsar Reservation
*Darwin - In the Ex-fish on the King of Town's wall

{{pageinprogress}}

[[Image:SBCG4AP 2 Protest.PNG|thumb|FREE STRONG BAD!]]A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''.

Currently, this walkthrough contains information on how to collect the 8 flags, the 4 Teen Girl Squad ideas, and the 13 burnable objects. It is currently missing one Math Kickers page, four Strong Sad names, and one costume item.

{{spoiler}}

==Legend==
A description of events will be written in plaintext.

* '''Mandatory actions will be bulleted and written in boldface.'''
* Actions that increase your awesomeness rating, but are not mandatory, will be bulleted and written in plaintext.
* ''Optional actions that might help you understand the scene will be bulleted and written in italics.

==Walkthrough==

===House of Strong===
Strong Bad receives an e-mail from "Roy T." at "Castle Hill" asking about the King of Town's ruling practices. In the middle of slagging the King, none other than KoT himself runs in and announces Strong Bad to be under arrest for failure to pay the new e-mail tax (which is news to Strong Bad). As punishment, a collar is placed around Strong Bad's neck, an invisible fence is set up outside his front door, and his map is confiscated, meaning he's stuck in the house until the fence and collar are de-activated.

*''Go to the window of the computer room. Marzipan, Strong Mad, Homestar, The Cheat, and Coach Z have gathered outside to protest matters.''
*''Ask about the stick by the fence. It's an <s>orfigy</s> <s>arfigy</s> <s>RPG</s> effigy of the King of Town, but it doesn't look enough like him for them to burn it.''
*''Leave the window and check your diagram from the intro. Looks like the effigy is missing a few items.''
*'''Go to Strong Sad's room.''' Strike up a conversation, calling him names in the process.
*Ask Strong Sad about the fence outside. He'll start to tell you how to circumvent it before realizing that doing so might be illegal. Further pleading will only gain you another funny Strong Sad name.
*'''Go to the bathroom and grab Strong Mad's red towel.'''
*'''Head downstairs to Strong Bad's room. Grab the crown off of his bookcase.'''
*'''Snatch the Black Metal Detector and shovel while you're there.'''
*''Optionally, play some Math Kickers, and look at the drawing table. Turns out he's out of drawing paper.''
*'''Head downstairs.'''
*'''Grab the pillow from atop the dryer. There's also some loose stuffing in the couch. Take that too.'''
*'''Race back up to the computer room and back to the protestors. Give them the stuffing, towel, pillow, and crown, in any order.'''

The Cheat assembles the items on the "effigy", using the stuffing for a beard, the crown as the crown, the pillow as bulk, and the towel as a robe. Now it's a much better effigy of the King of Town, and the mob demands a sacrifice. Even Marzipan concedes it might help. As Strong Sad predicted, the fire destroys the fence and renders your collar useless. You're outta here!

Strong Bad assembles the forces in Strong Badia, informing them that he has seceded from the Municipality of Free Country, USA, and the rule of "The Of Town". He further calls for open rebellion. The call works, but not as Strong Bad anticipated: everyone forms their own independent lands and Free Country USA is split into many different autonomies. Yeesh.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Grab the game board from in front of the sign. Strong Bad will alter it to look like a map.'''
*'''Go to the game box and find the play money lying around. Strong Bad will take it as actual currency.'''
*''Talk to The Cheat and find out he, too, has seceded, dividing Strong Badia into civil war. Mention re-unification, and the Cheat will feel like he's been pushed around. Offer the Cheat the Vice-Presidency, and he'll demand tangible proof.''
*'''While you're here, dig around with the Detector and find... a power strip?'''
*'''Head to Bleak House.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' If you have done all of the above you should have the Taranchula Metal Detector, a power strip, and some Strong Badian currency in your inventory. You should also have the map, with Strong Badia in red, and have called Strong Sad two names.

===Bleak House===
*'''Check the package at the door. It's a special pin from Trans-Place Airlines, congratulating Strong Bad on surviving their flight.'''
*'''Snoop around with the Detector and find... a 3-ring binder? Okay, then.'''
*Check the mailbox to find a page to Strong Bad's Math Kickers manual. His foresight is amazing!
*'''Go inside to Strong Sad's room.'''

Strong Sad will inform you that he's formed a constitutional monarchy, complete with Bill of Rights and flag.

*Converse with him a while and call him a few more names. ''He'll also give you an idea for making your subjects feel more important.''
*'''Take his fake sword from by the bed.'''
*Use the sword on Strong Sad. You'll call him another name.
*Look under the box on his bed and find a Blecch House flag.
*Check his bookcase to pick up an ancient scroll with a great Teen Girl Squad idea.
*Go downstairs to the Kitchen. Look in the Cheat Commandos-O's box for a Sugar-Frosted Eye Patch.
*Proceed to the basement. Look in the dryer to find a pair of Camo-Pants.
*'''You're done here, for now. Race back to Strong Badia.'''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should have added a three-ring binder, TPA medal, and fake sword to your inventory. You'll have one TGS card, the cover to your Algebros Manual, and the Bleak House souvenier flag. You should also have one character at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and have found two costume items.

===Strong Badia / The Cheat & Tirerea===
*'''Give the Cheat the pin.'''

It worked! The Cheat feels special after you use the pin to deputize him Chief of Police. Civil War is over in Strong Badia! On top of this, The Cheat returns your not-BMW-due-to-copyright-purposes-but-still-a lighter that he used to start the effigy. Good times!

*Poke around behind the tire to find a The Cheat & Tirerea flag.
*Burn the Maps and Minions box with your lighter.

'''Checkpoint:''' You'll have exchanged the TPA medal with the lighter, gained a flag from The Cheat and Tirerea, and set one item on fire.

All right, now that Strong Badia is unified, let's get to conquering! ''Note that the following three nations can be visited in any order.''

===Bleak House===
*Go to Strong Bad's bedroom and set fire to his bed(?) with your lighter.
*In the living room, use the lighter on the smoke detector. Not hearing it go off reassures you that you're 0% safe.
*While we're burning random crap, use your lighter on the barred window to get another Teen Girl Squad idea.
*'''Return to Strong Sad's room.'''
*'''Burn his flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in any order.'''

With no proof of authority over Bleak House, it becomes a battle of wills between Strong Bad and Strong Sad, and that's a lopsided contest if ever there was one. Bleak House is conquered!

===Concessionstantinople, and other The Field nations===
*'''Talk to Bubs.''' ''He'll tell you his concession stand is a neutral country only interested in the economy.''
*'''Ask about what you can buy, and he'll sell you a (malfunctioning) Strong Bad doll for your play money. The doll causes Strong Bad to shake uncontrollably.'''
*''At this point, an option for the "black market" appears. Ask Bubs about it, and he'll slyly claim he knows nothing while making it clear he does.''
*''End the conversation and walk around back.''
*''Knock on Bubs' back door. Sure enough, there's the black market.''
*''Ask about weapons, artifacts, and organs. He's not into weapons much (and Coach Z has them anyway), he's out of organs (but would love to get his "hands" on one), and he has a single artifact from Homsar -- for trade only, no sale.''
*Leave the Concession stand and poke around in the bush behind it. You'll find a Concessionstantinople flag.
*Stroll around the Field. Look under the box by the Picket Fence for an Algebros Manual page.
*'''Head to The Stick and use the Detector to find... erm, a tuning fork?'''
*''Out of curiosity, ring the tuning fork. Sounds like Homsar.''
*Walk behind the Brick Wall to find a Strong Badian flag.

===Pompomerania===
Upon entering the cloughb, you see Pom Pom chilling in the corner near some Japanese artifacts: a katana and two kimonos. DJ Teh Cheat is playing a Geddup Noise remix, and Bubs is tending bar.

*''Talk to Pom Pom. He'll refuse an alliance because he doesn't think you're stylish enough. The nerve!''
*'''Use the fake sword on the real one.''' ''Strong Bad will swap them out right under Pom Pom's, um, nose.''
*Use your lighter on the leftmost kimono to set it on fire.
*''Head over to Bubs and ask about how to impress Pom Pom. He'll tell you it's all in the dance.''
*'''Go to DJ Teh Cheat's stash of glowsticks and grab one.'''
*'''Head back to Bubs and ask for "the brightest, glowiest drink in the house".'''
*'''Drop the glowstick in the drink. Now THAT'S glowy!'''
*'''Take your super-glow drink.'''

Strong Bad will head with it to the dance floor and bedazzle the club occupants. Pom Pom agrees to an alliance, and Strong Bad didn't have to do any dancing (which is probably a good thing)! Two down, three to go!

*Head back to Bubs and ask for a "special" energy drink. (You may have to ask twice.) Bubs will throw in a Pompomerania flag for free.
*Look under the box next to the bar to find another Algebros manual page.

''The next two countries, the Homsar Reservation and COUNTRY, can be visited in any order. You will automatically visit Marzistar/Homezipan in between them. It is recommended that you visit them in the following order.''

'''Checkpoint:''' You should now have two TGS cards, three Algebros Manual pages, and five flags. You'll have set seven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad six names, and found two costume items. Your inventory will contain the metal detector, a power strip, a three-ring binder, a Strong Bad doll, a tuning fork, and a katana.

===Homsar Reservation===
Strong Bad brings Strong Sad and Strong Sad's incurable whininess along with him to the Homsar Reservation to serve as a cultural advisor. Strong Sad brought along a first aid kit, his luggage, and [[Wikipedia:Hypochondria|hypochondria.]]

*Check the bush behind Homsar to get a Homsar Reservation flag.
*Use your lighter on that same bush to burn it.
*View the cave painting on the left to launch Cave Girl Sqaud.
*Use the Detector around here to find another Cave Girl Squad idea.
*'''Talk to Strong Sad. Mention a Cold One and Strong Sad will panic, since he thinks he drank contaminated water.'''
*'''At this point, ask him about is health until he spills the beans: he thinks he has acute aphasic pretendicitis.''' ''Its symptoms are fever, shaking, and inability to comprehend language. The only cure is a pretendectomy.''
*'''Use the lighter on his first aid kit.''' ''Strong Sad will take his temperature and think he has a very bad fever.''
*'''Give Strong Sad the malfunctioning doll.''' ''Strong Bad will slip it in Strong Sad's fanny pack, causing Strong Sad to think he's got the shakes.''
*'''Go back to talk to Homsar and select the derby hat option.''' ''Strong Bad will pretend to speak Homsar's language, and Strong Sad will overhear it and think he's gone insane.''
Strong Sad rushes off to get the pretendectomy. When he returns, he announces he was allowed to keep his organ in a jar.
*'''Take the organ.'''
*Use the fake sword on Strong Sad again to call him another name.

===Concessionstantinople===
*''Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".''
*'''Go to the black market and offer it again.'''

Bubs accepts the pretendix and trades it for the artifact: a pottery shard. Looks like he got the better of the deal, but looks are deceiving.

===The Homsar Reservation===
*'''Use the shard on the "mysterious pylon".'''
Some weird light show goes off, and one of the four lights on the pylon is now lit.
*''Talk to Homsar about the pylon. He still speaks mostly gibberish, but you make out the words "ancient artifacts".''
*'''One by one, drop the power strip, 3-ring binder, and tuning fork into the pylon.''' ''Each time you add an item, another light lights up.''
Whoa -- the ground is rumbling, and suddenly you feel lighter -- and enlightened! Of course! You've unlocked the secrets of Homsar!
*'''Talk to Homsar again. This time he makes perfect sense! Ask about joining Strong Badia, and he'll accept.'''
When you leave the conversation, Strong Bad and Homsar will perform an ancient ritual together. The pylon explodes and the cave opens. Although Homsar is back to his non-sequitastic self, the alliance is strong and full! Let's go on!

===Marzistar/Homezipan===
Upon arriving, you see Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and either Homsar or Strong Mad waiting alongside Marzipan and Homestar. Marzipan isn't too thrilled to see you.

*Use the Detector in the backyard near the onions to pick up a flag of Marzistar.
*Talk to Strong Sad to call him another name.
*''Talk to Marzipan. She informs you she's signed a non-aggression treaty with the Municipality and will refuse to allow Strong Badia's army through.''
*''Ask about the display behind Marzipan. It's a "model United Nations", depicting cultural oddities from all civilized leaders (and Coach Z).''
*'''Talk to Homestar. He's more willing to listen to your offers, but he needs to put the Homestarmy back together.'''
*'''Ask about the Homestarmy, and he'll tell you he needs five recruits to complete it. Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homsar are three of them. (The Cheat doesn't count for whatever reason.) He says he may need the draft to fill out the roster.'''
*''You can ask him to run the draft, but it invariably lands on one of the Bennedettos. He won't draft any more of them, for one reason or another. There's not much more you can do here, for now.''
*'''Head on over to Country.'''

===Country===
Welcome to Strong Mad's country, eloquently named "Country". Yup, looks like Strong Mad is being held back another year.

*Use the Detector near the flagpole to get a Country flag. That's all 8!
*''Talk to Strong Mad. This goes poorly, as Strong Mad isn't too articulate to you -- he trusts the Cheat more than you.''
*'''Talk to the Cheat about Strong Mad.''' ''He'll serve as a negotiator.'''
*'''Ask Strong Mad (via the Cheat) how to gain an alliance.'''
Strong Mad wants to test the valor of Strong Bad. Strong Bad must now pass a test. And by "pass a test", we mean "slay a monster". And by "monster", we mean "Strong Mad standing behind a Taranchula cardboard cutout."
*''Use the sword on one of the heads. Strong Mad will promptly re-attach it.''
*'''Set the pile of skulls on fire. That's better.'''
*Set the lone skull and lonely skull on fire while you're at it.
*'''Slash the fire head (on the left).''' ''Strong Mad will work on re-attaching it, and while he does...''
*'''Slash the ice head.''' ''It'll fall into the bonfire and be consumed. Strong Mad will react by spurting ketchup from the wound, and as he does...''
*'''Slash the fire head again.''' ''It falls into the river!''

The monster is slain! Strong Bad and Strong Mad are re-united. Strong Mad gives Strong Bad a gift: Tony Stony, his "Vice-President". Well, whatever works. Let's see if this is enough.

'''Checkpoint:''' By now you should have three Teen Girl Squad cards, three manual pages, and all eight flags. You'll have set eleven items on fire, have two characters at attention, have called Strong Sad eight names, and found two costume items.

===Marzistar===
*''Ask Homestar if you have enough people now. You're still one person short.''
*''If you run the draft again at this point, it will always land on one of the Benedettos. Homestar refuses to draft any of them.''
*''Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.''
*''Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!''
*'''Move Tony Stony to Poopslovakia's shelf.'''
*'''Run the draft again. Coach Z is drafted!'''

Now Homestar has the five men he needs for his army. Marzipan sees the draft being held, and she's none too happy with this development. Homestar and Marzipan divide their land, dropping Marzipan out of the picture. Now, all the recruits are lined up, and Homestar merely waits your word to attack.

Strong Bad will pace back and forth in front of his recruits, with Col-o-nel Homestar on the side. Clicking on any recruit will allow Strong Bad to do his best [[Wikipedia: R. Lee Ermey|Sadistic Drill Sergeant]] impression on them. This will get the character to stand at attention, adding to your Awesomeness score. '''Talking to all five men -- or, alternately, just clicking on Homestar -- will signal your readiness.''' Let the invasion begin!

Homestar details the invasion in a flashback sequence. The Cheat and Coach Z deserted early on, making things more difficult. But he promises he will complete this soon and return to Marzipan's side...

...oh, wait, he's being stupid again. Turns out the invasion lasted all of five minutes and the King of Town surrendered way too easily. That was a week ago, and right now Strong Bad is bored out of his mind. Strong Mad won't let him leave the castle, either. Only Homestar and Strong Sad are there to keep Strong Bad company, which is worse than if he'd been alone. Time to reverse fortune back!

===The King of Town's Castle===
Ye find yeself in yon castle. Obvious exits are... blocked by Strong Mad.

*''Talk to Homestar. He'll tell you that the Homestarmy doesn't need to stand down, and that he will protect Strong Bad with his life. Whoopee.''
*''Ask Strong Sad about the King of Town. Strong Sad will tell you he has Strong Bad's old job -- checking e-mails. And the King is in no hurry to switch back, apparently.''
*''Check the board on the table.''
Hey, what do you know! The Of Town had his own Maps and Minions game, with pewter pieces off all the FCUSA inhabitants! Now Strong Bad can order his army to perform missions... except not even the three remaining loyalists will listen to him anymore.
*Stare at the fish skeleton repeatedly until a Teen Girl Squad idea comes to Strong Bad.
*Use your lighter on the unlit candlestick.
*Check the food on the right side of the throne to find the Of Town's spare beard.
*'''Enter the unguarded door.''' ''The King has a Computer Room? Who knew?''
*Check the plug under the table. The oT's spare crown will pop up. Take it.
*'''Check his computer.''' ''You find the email from the beginning! "Roy T." was the King of Town! This was all a ruse! Chicanery! A heinous plot to get you on the throne! Well, two can play at that game.''
*Return to the room and hop on the computer.
*Select "Templates". One of them is for a tax decree.
*'''Send an email to The Of Town (care of Strong Bad's house), letting him know you've decided to tax his snack cakes.''' ''(Doesn't matter how much; it's the principle of the thing!) The Of Town will read the email and become as angry as you were! War is back on!''
*If you send an email by selecting "Food Request" and ask anyone for your [['Lectric Boots]], a box containing the boots will appear by the computer.
*'''Return to the main room and select the game board.''' ''Strong Bad will decide to help the other side.''

===Endgame: Maps & Minions===
Your side is the Rebel side. You control The Of Town, The Poopsmith, Homsar, The Cheat, and Coach Z. Your opponents are Homestar, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad. You go first.

Each turn, each piece may move to an adjacent territory. If two pieces try to occupy the same space, there is a battle. Unfortunately, Strong Bad's belief that the rebels needed him turns out to be accurate -- they don't win a single battle, and as a result are almost always pushed back one space (or, if they meet Strong Mad, many spaces). The Rebels win when The Of Town crosses the board safely. The Homestarmy wins when one member captures The Of Town.

Fortunately, two of the three Homestarmy members move predictably. If Homestar can see The Of Town, he'll head right to him; otherwise, he'll try to pick off another Rebel piece. Strong Mad patrols back and forth in the two territories right in front of the Castle -- your goal space. Strong Sad's movements are seemingly random, however.

In addition, you have a few other things working your way. Strong Mad's friendship of The Cheat is such that he will stop fighting when he finds him. Strong Sad uses psychological warfare to demoralize your troops, but Homsar's randomness renders him immune. Both of those fights will be draws, which locks off the space and prevents the Homestarmy from moving. In addition, The Poopsmith has a "Fog of War" surrounding him at the start of each turn. Whoever moves into the space The Poopsmith abandons will be invisible to the enemy (and barely able to breathe, but that's a minor concern).

====Strategy====
*Have The Poopsmith make a beeline for the other side, with The Cheat in front of him and The Of Town following his stinky trail. Homestar won't be able to capture The Of Town if he can't see him.
*Send Homsar to Strong Sad to keep Strong Sad from stumbling on The Of Town.
*For whatever reason, Homestar prefers to chase Coach Z if given a choice. Send Coach Z to Homestar, then don't move him after the first battle; Homestar will keep chasing the Coach into retreat.
*At the end of the board, use The Cheat to keep Strong Mad busy.
*Let The Poopsmith step aside as soon as Homestar is too far away to catch The Of Town. Homestar will see him, but he can only move one space at a time, which isn't enough to bridge the gap!
*Send The Cheat to An Open Field to find the beret.
*Par is 10 moves, which is needed to achieve Awesomeness.
*The best possible score is 8 moves.

As soon as you win the mini-game, the King of Town storms his own castle and finds Strong Bad, who is all too happy to concede defeat. Through use of reverse psychology, he not only gets The Of Town to return to the throne, but convinces him to repeal the e-mail tax that kicked off the whole campaign! Strong Bad's halfway out the door before The King Of Town realizes he's been had.

Congratulations! You've beaten the game! Now just sit back, enjoy a professional recording of Marzipan's protest song, and get ready for extended mode, where you can put those Cave Girl Squad ideas to good use!

==Extended Play==
* Use your lighter on the UN model in Marzipan's back yard.
* Now that you have access to the Homsar Reservation again, you can take the Darwin card to it and get a 6000-point comic.
* Go to the House of Strong and use the final insult on Strong Sad.
* If you missed talking to any character just before the siege (and, thus, didn't get them at attention), return to Pompomerania and switch the real sword for the fake one. Then use the fake sword on Coach Z, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, or Strong Sad to "knight" them and get them at attention.

==Teen Girl Squad Cards==
There are four ancient scrolls, each containing an image that gives Strong Bad a great idea for the Teen Girl Squad.
*Tar Pit - On Strong Sad's bookcase
