Mod Announcement Notice About Discord Change

27 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.

Or I’m just going crazy :P

Game Theory Video Discussion More Hytale Theories?

Upvotes

Bit of a rant but, I would love to see more Hytale theories come out of the channel. With the game getting frequently more updates, there are more than enough ways to come up with theories. And I'm not talking about just mentioning the updates / doing a recap - but I mean full in diving into the world!

Why are their Golems "protecting" the portal gateway

How did the skeleton race become "immortal"

Where did we as avatars come from?

I mean there are 46 Minecraft videos with the first one asking "WHAT ARE CREEPERS"? I would love to see Game Theories take on one of the growing factions - Goblins will be expanded on in the next 2-3 months with Hytale's first chapter release.

I did watch the first Hytale theory they released - but it mostly relayed the known lore.

Gaia is Greek Goddess in Mythology, she created this Orbis, she seems to be asleep, Varyn is the opposing one, all things that have been mentioned in past blog post. A few note worthy things was skeletons seem to be reanimated and the clothing they wear, but dig a little deeper and talk about how the items the skeletons drop or how variations of the skeletons exist!

If there can be a 30+ minute video on what Minecraft's Suspicious stew is, all I'm saying is there can be a 15 minute on how the Fragmented Orbis we are on is a broken portal we're stuck in. (Not true, but heck I'd be interested in watching that)

The game has a lot to off that can be questioned and even researched into - much like the Illagers in Minecraft.

Idk as a theorist who grew with the channel and got invested during the FNAF age, there was so many theories that came out like that had me genuinely wondering "What is a Kirby"? I don't know, never wondered until they posed the question. "Hello Neighbor may have a wild plot", No that can't be it's a silly escape game. Ness is Sans. STOP No he is no. . .hm you make a valid point.

There are many up rising theorist in the Hytale community, don't get me wrong. But I think I was also just expecting GT to be apart of it.

Maybe they will dive more into it and I should be more patient, but I guess I assumed they would take more dives into the world.

As I mentioned there are a handful of Hytale Theorist out here and I love watching them - heck I've even created a couple of my own. So if anyone on the GT team sees this, please take another jab at Hytale's world!

GT Theory Suggestion The Puppet Duo Theory: What If It Were Confirmed as Canon That Sammy Emily Was Killed by William Afton and Possessed the Puppet Alongside Charlie?

Post image
4 Upvotes

In the book lore, Sammy survived and Charlie was the victim.

But what if, in the games' timeline, William had taken both twins, and Sammy ended up sharing the Puppet with his sister?

We talk so much about the GoldenDuo (Crying Child + Cassidy in Golden Freddy), but the idea of a PuppetDuo would change the story quite a bit:

  1. The Puppet's dynamic: Charlie is the most conscious and protective soul.

If Sammy was there, the Puppet would be doubly guided by grief and protection.

Would one focus on safety and the other on revenge?

  1. The "Give Gifts, Give Life" minigame: Charlie gives life to the animatronics, but what if Sammy was responsible for guiding the souls to the suits while Charlie gave them the spark of life?

  2. Henry's speech in FNAF 6: The emotional weight would be greater with Henry burning the place down to free both of his children at once.

  3. Nightmarionne: Nightmarionne could be the representation of Sammy's anger, while the original Puppet would represent Charlie's compassion.

What do you guys think about this possibility?

Would it make the lore richer or just more confusing?

I really want Film Theory to do a video discussing this topic. Kinda like old school game theory of “would this work IRL?”. like using pixel rulers and looking up how big the set pieces were. Please, I really want to know.

Thank you for your time. Have a lovely time zone.

Meme Monday Can they even call themselves Theorists anymore?

Post image
2.2k Upvotes

Serious question, are they even theory channels anymore? The episodes that were just show/game recaps were bad enough, but episodes like 'how to win at Mecca Chameleon or Among Us' cant even claim to be a theory since it's just basic tips every guide is using like 'don't make it obvious you're hiding'. I found most of their 'tips' posted online weeks before their videos came out.

But now we're starting to see videos like "I wish I liked The Amazing Digital Circus' which just reeks of 'this IP is still popular so we're going to keep talking about it' or 'Let's make it a little controversial so people click on it'. It's like they're not even trying to make theories anymore and are just trying to find any excuse to talk about what's popular for the week. It feels ridiculous to watch them end each video with 'but that's just a theory' after not theorizing for almost 30 minutes.

GT Theory Suggestion What if RWQSammy were canon in FNAF? How would it change the ENTIRE lore?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Tenho pensado nisso ultimamente: se a teoria de que RWQFSFASXC (Shadow Bonnie) é Sammy Emily fosse realmente canônica, como isso afetaria toda a história de FNAF?

• Isso significaria que Henry perdeu dois filhos, não apenas Charlie.

• Isso daria uma identidade direta a um dos Animatrônicos Sombra.

• Isso poderia mudar o significado dos minigames de FNAF 3 (especialmente aqueles envolvendo Shadow Bonnie).

• Isso conectaria oficialmente os eventos dos livros com os jogos. Mas, mais importante, mudaria praticamente TODA a história:

• As motivações de Henry não girariam mais apenas em torno de Charlie, mas também da perda de seus dois filhos.

• A narrativa geral deixaria de se concentrar apenas nas vítimas conhecidas e passaria a incluir a ideia de vítimas esquecidas.

• Os Animatrônicos Sombra deixariam de ser apenas fenômenos abstratos e passariam a ter identidades específicas dentro da história.

• Os eventos de FNAF 3 poderiam ser reinterpretados. como ações diretas de uma vítima tentando consertar o passado

• A conexão entre os jogos e os livros não seria mais paralela, mas parte da mesma continuidade Mas ao mesmo tempo:

• Sammy nunca é mencionado nos jogos

• As Sombras sempre foram tratadas como algo mais abstrato

• Isso poderia reescrever partes já estabelecidas da linha do tempo

Então a questão é:

Se RWQSammy fosse confirmado, isso melhoraria a lore ou mudaria demais a ponto de quebrar a história?

Findings the motive of the murder behind oneway.exe

Post image
35 Upvotes

I just played oneway.exe and and I think Kitty might have been controlling Slushie or something?? The game says he was scared, it seemed like he didn't wanna do it, and he says a lot in the logs that he's not the violent one so it doesn't make sense for him to have done it??

i'm not sure what that means but that's been my first impression, especially after playing Billie's desktop, and the logs you get after completing it that mentions Slushie teaching Kitty how to use a knife against her warning that he shouldn't trust her with it (paraphrasing but you get the gist :X)

Game Theory Video Discussion Game theory's newest deltarune theory

6 Upvotes

I've seen a lot of people not like this theory since the majority of it is just recapping. I don't know how often game theory does recaps since I stopped watching after Mat left. However, a big point in the theory is the Deltarune prophecy

To my knowledge, that final panel of the prophecy isn't shown to us no matter how hard people have looked into it. But in Tom's newest theory on the game, he says he "came up with it" but are there any clues to make this legit or somewhat tangible?

"The girl's death breaks the angel sway, only then will the worlds be saved"

GT Theory Suggestion What if William Afton had won in FNAF? I’ve been thinking about this lately and wanted to hear your opinions.

Post image
0 Upvotes

What if William Afton had actually achieved his ultimate goal?

I’m not talking about the story we know, where he becomes Springtrap and is trapped in a cycle of suffering… but a scenario where he truly wins.

If he had managed to achieve immortality:

• He wouldn’t become Springtrap

• He wouldn’t be trapped inside a suit

• He could continue his experiments freely

• He might fully master the concept of remnant

This raises a lot of questions:

• What would happen to the children’s souls?

• Would Henry still have any chance of stopping him?

• Would Freddy Fazbear’s continue to exist, or become something even worse?

• Would Afton become something beyond human?

In practice, this would completely change the FNAF lore.

Instead of a story about punishment and consequences, it would become a story where the villain truly wins.

What do you think would happen in this scenario?
