scott seriously
[QUOTE=swampie;46498148]With the amount of theories being thrown about i think there are two options:
Scott is a very, very good writer, and specifically mislead us many times to make it hard to figure out
OR
Scott made some mistakes while writing and accidentally made one of the most confusing stories ever[/QUOTE]
OR
Scott didn't actually even try to be coherent and he's just waiting for us to somehow explain everything and then he'll say that was right.

Isn't that how some ARGs work? Bits and pieces of incoherent, sometimes even conflictiong information is given, but the collective mind of the internet manages to piece them together anyway, and if the ARG creators like it enough, they will produce new evidence that doesn't support, nor debunk it.
Five Nights At Freddy's, The Presequel?
[QUOTE=Xonax;46499089][sp]I don't think so, I think it's hinted that something happen to the guy on Day Shift.[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]The Phone Guy says the day shift position had just opened up in one of the nights, in a tone that suggested he kinda wanted to avoid talking about it. Combine this with the implications of the Purple Man with a badge and he might've been laid off for possible connections to the murders.[/sp]
I just want a Five Fights at Freddy's fighting game spinoff
[sp]secret level where you beat the five kids to death[/sp]
Been trying to beat the 5th night on FNAF 2 for about 2 hours now, and i'll i gotta say is scott's an ass for not allowing ATLEAST 2 seconds to put on the freddy head before the animatronics kill you. It's ridiculous, i mean it's not like you got enough shit trying to kill you
[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;46494062]It's right next to the Prize Corner, just on CAM11 you're looking towards the wall, and on CAM10 you're looking away from it.[/QUOTE]
Late reply, but i really am having trouble mapping this out in my head i cant fit in cam 10 with the tables and gifts into the room, any kind souls willing to help a simpleton and draw this out

This made me realize that old Freddy has freaking teeth at the sides of his head. Pie.
(You are insane, but thats a good thing.)

Going with the lore, I'd think that they could tell if you were a suit-less endoskeleton from an animatronic quite quickly.
Personally I think Night 7 is noncanon- after what supposedly happens on Day 7, I would be surprised that the place would still be functional. Then again, this is Scott we're talking about, so there's the possibility of this actually fitting in.
Also, [sp]I personally take part in the theory that the player character of FNAF2 is the sufferer of the bite- gets moved to the dayshift, told to wear his uniform, and to stay close the animatronics. With the animatronics already being rather crazy with adults at this point, it wouldn't be surprising if they tried to get at him. Then there's that connection to a real life person with the same name who had his own head injury (fell on his face as a stuntman in The Avengers), and Scott would be the kind of guy who would allude to that.[/sp]

The pizza party is on its way.
[B]EDIT:[/B] Not now, of course. The party van's still in traffic.
I'll RP my timeline to see if any new developments could be compared and contrasted, and also for other viewers.
[QUOTE=Sleeping One;46499819]The first restaurant was Fazbear's Family Diner or whatever, which is possibly FNAF#3. This housed the original 4 animatronics, seen in their decrepit state in FNAF#1. The purple man came along and did some messed up stuff, seen in the Atari-2600-esque minigames. This lead to a peak when he killed the boy locked outside the diner, when Freddy was giving cake to the kids, seen in one of the minigames. This boy's spirit started to haunt the Marionette, which the Marionette itself came into play sometime probably during the Diner's existence, since PG mentions that he "never liked that puppet thing" while also referring to Foxy in a past tense.
Following the messed up stuff from the purple man incident(s), including the purple man being seen as a guard in one of the minigames, the Diner closed and re-opened as the pizzeria seen in FNAF#2. Along with the "new" animatronics being fitted with facial-recognition technology, so were the old animatronics. The Marionette (infused with the boy's spirit) remembers the day he was killed by the purple man (who seemed to be a night guard), and corrupted the facial-recognition technology so that the old animatronics and new from the diner would be aggressive towards adults, particularly night guards. He may have done this by bypassing the coding for adult faces and replacing it with a universal code that sees all adults (particularly after hours) as an endoskeleton, tricking the animatronics. The Marionette wanted to save other kids from his fate.
Soon after the Marionette's involvement right before/during FNAF#2, the pizzeria underwent new investigations, probably from the reports of aggression from the animatronics. The Marionette took notice and started thinking, as PG says. The Marionette probably knew that he might be eliminated from the animatronics line up, if the pizzeria were to have another installment. So, somewhere during FNAF#2, the Bite of '87 happens and so does the killing/missing reports of the 5 kids. The Marionette, remembering the cruelty of adults/guards, probably onset at least the 5 kids incident by possession of some sort. He was just a kid when he died, so his childish mind stereotypes tall, guard-like beings as dangerous.
The Marionette made someone use the Golden Freddy suit to kill the kids. It was possibly another guard. Then, he "gave gifts/life" to the old animatronics by giving them the vengeful, stereotyping spirit of the 5 kids, carrying on his wishes to protect kids even after his destruction. A sacrifice for a greater cause, saving more lives in return. The Marionette knew that the animatronics had to be fueled by the spirits, or else future updates in their software might eliminate the animatronic's aggressive nature, and undermining the Marionette's purposes.
After the FNAF#2 investigations ultimately shut down the pizzeria, the Marionette is taken out of the pizzeria chain and destroyed (probably). FNAF#1's pizzeria opens up, and the 5 reborn animatronics remember the day that a tall being, a guard-like figure, killed them and the Marionette's original self.
Edit: The cutscenes could be a number of things. It could be symbolic/another point of time around where the Marionette gave the animatronics the kids' spirits, it could be the (haunted) Marionette introducing himself during the family diner period, or it could be a final goodbye to the animatronics before the marionette was destroyed, right before the opening of the pizzeria of FNAF#1. Maybe he was leaving Freddy in charge.
Edit 2: In heavier speculation, the person that killed the kids in the Golden Freddy suit might have been Michael, the Purple Man, or Fritz Smith. All could make sense, as Michael hallucinates/sees/maybe remembers the Golden Freddy suit, and could have been the bite of '87 victim as the animatronics would have been angry at him and they would also be ignorant to the Marionette's plans, and Michael would have forgotten his act. The Purple Man also could have been the killer, as the Marionette could have used him for torture and vengeance. Lastly, it might have been Fritz Smith, possibly hired during days 4, 5, or 6. He might have been quickly possessed, killed the kids on night 6, then stuck to the night shift on 7, likely unpossessed but feeling a strange connection to the animatronics, and being able to "tamper" with them.

This has been my theory. Leave tiny things, let audience write own story, look like writing genius.

If that's the case he is a writing genius. It works well, allows the audience to perceive the story for themselves, and it makes you feel much more connected to the story in general.
Most importantly it leaves you thinking about it after you're finished experiencing it, a lot of games/movies/etc. now-a-days don't give me that feeling.

The word "err" flash briefly in the upper-left-hand corner after the first cinematic. Does this happen for anyone else? Is it demo-exclusive? (It's at 0:53 or 0:54 if the video embedding messes up the time code.)
[b]EDIT:[/b] The text gets covered up by that title overlay from the embedded player that appears when you mouse over or begin the video, so you may want to set it to start a few seconds before if you want to see it in order to ensure the overlay disappears.

that's exclusive to the first cutscene, it should happen the first time you launch the game.

apparently the sound is the sound mangle makes, and when put into a spectogram it creates a face of the marionette

I knew it. I was planning to examine this myself to see if I could get an image out of it, and I was right.
Is there any way to force a windowed mode or am I just going about recording this wrong?
