Mod Announcement Notice About Discord Change

30 Upvotes

Hey, everyone! Since the subreddit mods noticed a little issue about this earlier, we wanted to inform people that there’s been a change in the official Discord server of both the reddits and the channels themselves. The second server (Game Theorists Community) had been the official server of the subreddits and recognized by the team but not officially run by them. However, back in February, an official Discord server endorsed and run by representatives of Team Theorist has finally been launched! You can join it here: https://discord.gg/2xfkD7Scsq

Does this mean to leave the other server? No! However, if you have questions about moderation decisions or want to appeal bans from that server, we cannot help you as those moderation teams are now separate. We do however encourage you to join All Things Theorist! There are plans to start running events there that will also be run on the subreddit, and we’d just love to have more of our wonderful community present there.

FNaF Fnaf: If I could ask Scott one Question

2 Upvotes

When did the Crying Child die? We know when he was bit, we know that he suffered a mortal wound. There's just one problem. The flatline sound at the end of Fnaf4 heavily implies he survived the bite long enough to die in a hospital, we just can't say how long that took. Just how long did William have in order to "put him back together" and how did that attempt end in failure?

I know there's just not enough information to go on, but I do wonder if the bite itself was the cause of Dave's death. The victim of 87 survived his bite, who's to say how long Dave languished in his hospital bed until the fateful night. Heck, maybe it was William that finally ended him with a pillow held to his face.

I know the simplest answer is that he died relatively soon after he was bitten, but we just don't know that much. When Dave actually died could change so much about William's motivation for the MCI. Honestly, I wish Scott would say something, anything about it.

Discussion What Video Games Would You Want Mat to Make Movies of?

47 Upvotes

So if you haven’t heard already, MatPat announced that he is teaming up with Blumhouse Productions to make an Amanda The Adventurer movie! Mat was explaining that video games and their developers weren’t getting the recognition that they deserve, so he is teaming up with Blumhouse so he can make video games into movies. Him and Blumhouse are already in the works with Amanda The Adventurer.

So, theoretically, if Mat was choosing which video game to make into a movie next, what video game would you want him to make?

Personally for me I think Killer Frequency would be an AMAZING movie idea! Forrest and Peggy are great characters. They have stood out to me for a very long time. I also feel like that killer video game has a unique vibe which I think would be cool in a movie format and it’s different from other slasher movies. But what about you guys? What video games would you want Mat to make movies of?

FNaF Secret of the Mimic, FNAF World, and Sister Location Spoiler

1 Upvotes

In FNAF World, we all thought "desk man" was Henry, and the animatronic was Circus Baby before he was killed.

I'm guessing that "desk man" was actually Edwin, and the Mimic (M2) killed him, as it has the same yellow eyes. There is even a tape in Secret of the Mimic that supports that M2 was in the room when Edwin died.

In FNAF World, everyone assumed 'Baby' meant 'Circus Baby', but I think he is actually referring to F10-NA (M1), as it is a common partner nickname (or too uncomfortable to say 'Fiona'). The dialogue even fits Edwin better, as he is under a lot of stress and pressure not to let his company fail, especially with investors like Fazbear's.

Edwin was actually the "mastermind" behind the mimics and was bought by Fazbear's. Henry was the design and technology lead at Fazbear's, but Edwin really implemented the technology at Murray's Costume Manor. (Edwin did not understand how M1 worked so well, but a theory is that it was through remnant from the Fall Fest fire, as stated in this comment.)

We see that there were debates about the character designs for the FNAF 1 pizzeria, as Henry was working with Edwin to implement the animatronics in a pizzeria.

While it is unclear which is the true ending of Secret of the Mimic, it is clear that Fazbear's eventually learned the science behind the mimics. By the events of the game, it is clear to Henry that Edwin (possibly his now good friend) has gone missing.

As Fazbear's now has access to Murray's Costume Manor and its technology, they now implement it in Sister Location. I believe FNAF 2 was Fazbear's attempt at new technology without this data (whether it happened before, during, or after Sister Location is unclear).

FNAF 2 and Sister Location could have also been Henry's way to honor his friend (or co-inventor at the least) by moving back to Fiona's costume designs and Murray's circus theme.

This would also explain why characters in Sister Location are more human-like and respond to human commands. It was essentially a research and development center. They could have been made with the metal infused with remnant from Murray's and implement Murray's technology. The higher intelligence of the mimics and human-like behavior was passed on to them. It would also explain why they are so much more robust and complex than animatronics at other locations.

Again, I am not sure whether FNAF 2 was around the same time as, before, or after Sister Location.

GT Theory Suggestion oneway.exe Module 2.0 will be about The Restoration Team repeating the loop

6 Upvotes

I saw someone already posted about the announcement of the oneway.exe Module 2.0 Kickstarter, and I have a theory about what Module 2.0 will be about from the cover art.

This is the cover art when it's brightened.

There is a very clear view of The Restoration Team looking at something that looks like a painting or portrait of Trio8 in their king/queen/joker outfits. X5 is on the left S4 is on the right, and Z6 is behind the logo in front of the painting. There is a lot of focus on The Restoration Team in this art and Trio8 are still the center but they are 2 dimensional.

The fact that The Restoration Team are in the front looking at 2 dimension versions of Trio8 makes me think theyre going to be the focus for Module 2.0, maybe we will play as them entering into untitled.exe like Emci did. Or maybe they will start to go insane learning about all of Trio8's work and the game will be trying to prevent them from murdering each other.

I think the ARG has been leading up to this so I think they have been talking to the horror characters too like Trio8 sort of were and are in danger of repeating history and ending up like Trio8

I just like all his videos so much better. Yes, some of them have occasional sponsorships, but all the new hosts feel like they have a gun to their head all the time. That film theory episode about Lego’s where 98% of the video was just sponsorship was really what made me want to post, if you’re wondering.

GT Theory Suggestion cover oneway.exe before the next one comes out!

The devs behind oneway.exe just announced a Kickstarter for the sequel!!! It's the BEST time for Game Theory to make a video about Module 1.0 before any or all theories get confirmed/debunked. I personally really want GT to discuss the REAL motive behind the murder, and if Kitty really was the one who planned her own brutal death. If so, why? There's a lot of hints out there, it's just about putting it all together.

I'm not sure what role Emci had in everything that went down, so I really want a video to help me understand everything better before the sequel is out!

Since the kickstarter for the second installment of oneway.exe was just announced, I wanted to bring up my theory again from the first installment! I'm actually pretty confident in this theory and I'm just soooo excited for the chance of seeing more of this game to see whether it gets confirmed! I hope gt can make a video before the kickstarter, I'd love to see their take on it.

FNaF MOTIVATION??!!!!!

1 Upvotes

Ever since FNaF 4, people have become infatuated with the idea that Afton needed motivation. A lot of people think it's to do with CC's death - he then kills charlie as revenge and liked it or something - and continues. But we know what his motivation is. We all heard it, thought "yeah thats prob Afton" but never took it further than that. The multiple and simultaneous springlock failures. Afton was springlocked, and had a run in with death. From that moment on, he becomes obsessed with immortality. It would explain Henry's disappearance (he gets springlocked too - but never gets pumped up on soul juice) - it would explain how William gets a job as a security guard in FNaF 2 - no one recognizes him after he gets messed up by the springlocking. Also, it would not require Charlie to die in 83 right after CC as retaliation - and she can die in another time like 87 or pre-CC 83 (my belief bc I think Charlie is plushbear and FNaF World is CC's weird sanctuary before the true afterlife - while happiest day is being setiup). Also with this, I want to say I think MM is CC running away, couch potato is Michael, and the unmarked dirt - and reason CC is scared in FNaF 4 - is Elizabeth. We know CBPW has a springlock suit thanks to Night 4 of FFSL, so it likely had to be pre-decommissioning. In fact, there's some evidence that Baby herself is a springlock but anyway. It was only opened for one day, with the movie pointing to her being around early asf in the timeline. Also, ik this is controversial, but I'm MCI83 cause I think the springlocks need to be in commission for that first string of murders, and Afton's ability to get away with it while it was happening. Also the springlocks were springlocked and decommissioned at FredBear's Family Diner, which if I'm right - closes in 1983. I think 83 was just a bad year for these dudes 😭😭.
