Pop-up Stanley Full Texts & Trials By S. L. Richardson (aka Falconesque) Last revised Friday, October 2, 2015 Copyright (c) 2015, Falconesque. All rights reserved. This "guide" is the author's backup file, recording every minute or trivial detail about this feature of OKAGE: SHADOW KING (a Playstation 2 game released in North America). Calling it "rough around the edges" would be kind, but believe it or not this IS the "pretty" version. (A GameFAQs-board-friendly version is much harder to read.) When Ari runs into a ghost on a field map, Stan may "pop up" at random (likely scaring the bejeezus out of the gamer the first time it happens). The procedure proceeds the same each time. 1. Stan asks Ari a question or poses a situation ("query"). 2. Ari picks one fragment from among the first group of three choices. 3. Stan comments ("Interval 1"). 4. Ari picks a second fragment from the next group of three choices. 5. Stan makes another comment ("Interval 2"). 6. Ari picks the third and final fragment from the last set of three choices. 7. Stan recaps Ari's response, previewing the three fragments strung together. 8. Stan either approves or rejects Ari's response. Each query is broken down into roughly four sections. * The query is documented in full, with what Stan says at each stage. All misspellings and typographic errors remain intact (and are noted). In some cases Stan's preview gives away whether he'll "pass" or "fail" the response, so two previews are recorded. * Solutions are then listed, both what WORKS and what FAILS. * Next are the actual CHOICES recorded for each group, the sequences numbered (e.g. no. 3 in the first group led to no. 3 in the second and third groups). * Last may be listed a few likely PROSPECTS, possible but untried solutions. =============================================================================== CONTENTS Queries are arranged alphabetically by the first line.

[P] As transcribed by LemonPenguin from the Prima guide; source: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/471237-okage-shadow-king/69259401#15 HISTORY Lots of information had been kept over the years, but inadequate backup procedures lost much of those duly recorded details at the hands of a cascade of hard disk failures (and they all fail, kids). What started in MS Word is now accomplished in BBEdit, a robust text editor. METHODOLOGY Ideas on what to include evolved over time, so some Qs lag with the later additions. The basic placeholder ("what") makes for something simple and easy to double-click, regardless of program or platform. Most of the info is gather to help spot patterns and maybe compose some likely prospects (such as seen in "Q5 Prospects"). What's not known is if the second and third choices vary depending on what's selected. Nearly impossible to stress test, but most likely the choices are all set at once; choices for several Qs (Q5 especially) step through known solutions, even when that "obvious" path isn't followed. The column widths were set (25, 25, 29) for unnumbered lines so the third column could accomodate attribution. The cramping is worsened with the added numbering in Choices and Prospects, but left alone since the small offset would be distracting. Only an issue with Q7 (one 26-character choice). Longest choice is otherwise 22 characters; not prepared to exceed 80 characters per line. Again, this is the pretty version. The raw data is initially typed up in the working copy of the author's full FAQ & Walkthrough, and then copied over. With the Prima additions, the list of what works is now very likely COMPLETE.
