What job should Stan have in ToMI?

edited July 2009 in Tales of Monkey Island
If TT is true Monkey Island fans, they will put Stan in the new game, but what job should he have? In the first game he sold ships, the second coffins, the third life insurances and in the fourth game he sold time share real estates.

What do you think he will sell in the new game?

    Dealing with different things like for instance zombie corpses who you need for your ship crew on your mission retrieving the voodoo patch of Captain La Mour were you're sailing to an omnious island and trying to command them on a nightly creepy robbery in a fortress hidden in a misty jungle only the undead can enter.

    Equiped with the patch, which philanderer Captain La Mour used for taking a sneak peak under ladys clothes, you later on, on the governors ball, can look up the rare insult which he has written in his pocketbook, he's always carrying around in his jacket to finally beat the guard you otherwise couldn't pass and ...

    Well it broke the pattern from the first game. First game he sold ships, then in the second he worked with the death, the 3rd he worked with the living...and the dead (hehe)...the 4th he worked with the living again accomdating there interests similary in a way that he did in the 3rd game. So....I have no idea what he will be doing in this game.

    It would be humorous if he was a bum in this one and Guybrush helps him (possibly unwittingly) set up his next get rich plan.

    Hippie psychotherapist, specialised in helping people who've been exploited by soulless capitalistic businessmen.

    Stan's had a change of heart, he's ... better ... now (intentional DOTT pun) and he wants to help people, the kind of people he was responsible for hurting.

    I could see much amusement arising from this.

    "But Stan, I have these fine leather jackets, don't you want to ... sell them to people?"
    "WhyesonIthi--NOOO! No. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell... we're here to talk about you... now, tell me about your pain."
    "Money, money, money, it's so funny, it's a salesman's World..."
    "Money... money... IS EVIL, it has no place in my World, it is but a faceless extension of the bourgeois! *huff* *huff* *huff* Th-that's it for our session today, I have a slot for 2PM tomorrow, I'll see you again then. Merry day to you, Mr. Thriftweed."

    Edit: How did Stan get this way? I call cursed by Lechuck. And one puzzle revolves around "curing" him.

    It'd be amusing if at the end of each episode we get an advertisement in which Stan manically tries to sell us on the idea of buying the next instalment (with much waving of arms, naturally).

    Voodoo salesman!

    I want to see who is better at selling the voodoo art - Stan or the Voodoo lady.

    It's gotta be something appropriately sleazy. All his previous professions are notorious hard sell, customer exploiting jobs. So what rackets are left? Gifting pyramid schemer? Spammer?

    Hmm. Telemarketer/spammer? Spam in a bottle? Maybe he employs an army of monkeys to throw bottles into the Caribbean advertising beard growing tonics, eyepatch removers, natural hook enhancement, etc.

    Fake charity worker? Standing outside a store ringing a bell and asking for donations for some ludicrous disaster. The fountain of youth has dried up and the natives there are aging rapidly, help contribute to their future care.

    Politician? Stan's the kind of person that would go on to either manage a political campaign or run for office. Management might be better. Have his candidate be the scummiest, most disgusting person possible. Heck, make it LeChuck. And have Stan just pour on the praise for him and all he's done for the pirating community.

    He could be offering a lucrative deal of eternal pirating on the seas on the finest ships.
    Little would they know he has been hypnotised or lured in by LeChuck.

    Though I'm sure TTG have come up with something ingenious and brilliant.

    Guybrush: "Do you have a less-than-subtle reference to previous games by Telltale?"
    Stan: "No!"

    The way I see it, Stan could be the new Sybil or Bosco.

    previously owned cannons

    so we get a chance to see familiar cannons like the circus one from Monkey 1, or that one at the beginning of Curse of Monkey Island

    so, there is big cannon shooting competition on some island, with prize of a silver cannon ball that is supposed to be the only weapon that can damage le chuck ship. in order to enter the competiton, we need a cannon so guybrush has to get one from stan. of course, he is charging them too much, so there is puzzle to convince him that his cannon is worthless, like replacing the cannon ball while he demonstrates with fake one, or pouring water on fuse when he lights it. of course, first we ll have to distract him, like, look behind you, a three headed monkey

    Or the dozen or so models sold by Kenny Falmouth? I think Kenny cornered the market on cannon sales. It would be amusing if both Kenny and Stan were selling cannons, and they had like a salesman war going on. When they aren't selling a cannon, they're shooting one off at their competition.

    Dunno what Gary Coleman is up to lately, but I think Kenny is one character that would need to be voiced by the same actor.

    He should advertise alternative energy sources (wind power, water power, etc.)
    Or offer DNA based paternity tests. :confused:

    Personally I foresee Stan recurring in various episodes. Maybe not in each episode, though.

    I imagine he'd be selling something different in each episode. He'd be like Monkey Island's equivalent to Sybil.

    (Although it's probably fairer to say that Sybil is, and always was, Sam & Max's version of Stan).

    Stan should be a defense attorney. There could be a Phoenix Wright type anime style for just the parts in court and he could be like Lionel Hutz.
