MCF 2012... Picman's official clues and intrigue

But what does it MEAN?? Is it Chuckles taunting us, or is Madame Fate sending us a message from... the great beyond... (insert spooky music here).

I'm really sorry everyone.

It's okay MCF. Things happen. Just a handy tip for the future.

I think "some things never change" just means that our MD is back doing what we love best...... solving a new mystery with her powerful investigative skills.

I forgot to say before that it's great to see you in the pond Picman!!

It's ok MCF

...maybe it means no morphing objects

So - it's spec. - why hold back - "Many hands make light of work"

"Some things never change"

I know it's only a 1-letter, really 1-word difference, but isn't it:
(highlight below to read)

"Some things I never change"?

...this does mean that we have someone specific talking to us.

[edited to put space where it's supposed to be]

Maybe......everything is, as always, linked to the poisoned past. ?????!!!!!

In other words - "The MORE things change" the "More they remain the same"

HUH - did I really say that?

No biggie.

Are there any characters who've appeared in some form in all, or nearly all of the games? The mysterious Frenchman, perhaps? I really don't think this is going to be Ravenhearst-centered this time, so I dunno if that's Charles talking. Maybe Felix?

I like the idea of the return to HOGs rather than MOs, but is there anything that's been truly constant throughout the series? Other than that there's always something new?

Spec thread! Yayyy!! Screw you, chores. MCF CLUES ARE HEREEE

Ok, dunno if this counts, but, I've noticed, at least in DG, 13th, and EFR, each game has a Fleur-de-lis somewhere, either in a HO scene or somewhere else.

Probably nothing, but just something I noticed.

Welcome back Picman!

For those fishies wondering about FB posts, that goes back to the first spec thread and I realized/remembered the reason I started my FB account - so I could friend Rose Ravenhearst and see screenshots of the game (Return to Ravenhearst).

I'm not hooked on this series. Not at all. No addiction here. Nope, no obsession either!

Also, when I'm reading forum posts on my Kindle Fire, I don't have the ability to white-out text OR highlight to read. Not that I expect to solve very many clues! I mostly bow to the brilliance of other fishies. It's great to see so many of you back again this year.

So welcome back and what does it all mean?
Picman's welcome seems very lengthy for a single clue...

YAY! The best Halloween present ever...
Here's a rundown of all the clues so far, I think...if I've missed any, remind us 'k?

- the Ravenhearst picture on Facebook (the magnifying glass)
- The Paranormal Investigator job posting
- 'X'
- Coffin
- 'Some Things Never Change'

(I still think there's something we're not seeing in the Halloween pictures they posted tonight...but there I go again...all paranoid and stuff...)

Did I miss any? Do we care about all these clues? What is Madame Fate's real name? Haha!

Fleur-de-lis and a Frenchman, nice possibility! I've been hoping we'd find out who he is, at some point.

On a totally random tangent, I started wondering why the profile photo on the MCF Facebook page is just a number 22, and has been since...well...since I started looking at it, anyway. It seemed a little random.

The first thing I turned up when I googled "Twenty-Two" is a Twilight Zone episode by that name. In it, a character has a recurring nightmare (which she's convinced is real) where she's approaching a morgue numbered "22," and a nurse invites her to join the residents therein. The doctor insists that it's just a dream, and suggests that she change details of the dream slightly. She's able to adjust some details inside the dream, but not the ending and not the room number.

On leaving the hospital, she finds herself on Flight 22...which explodes on takeoff.

Way out on a limb here, but if the "22" is the thing that doesn't change in that episode is what's Never Changing," maybe in the new game we're inside someone's nightmare? Or we can't tell if it's a dream or reality?

I'm pretty sure that the fb profile pic had the number 23 yesterday. Is it 22 days to the launch?

Hello to everyone on here. My first post and I've been waiting for the official thread. I'm totally hooked on MCF and finished every game on all platforms and simply cannot wait.
This is the first time I've seen a countdown thread but hooked on it already.

Once again hi to all fishies out there!

RavenQuo:
The number does change - it started at 24 and is the countdown to the release of the game on Thanksgiving Day.

Love it Purplealikat! Your talent is very clever. How fun!
