Why do they even need a guard?

[Mr. Vulcanator]

What's the worst the animatronics will do at night? Move?

On another note why do you need power to hold the doors closed?

On a third seperate note, how will the "security guard" go pee?

[yipee]

1. It might be that the guard is used as bait like a human sacrifice, so that all the robots will be focused on getting him instead of going outside and attacking a bunch of people. The guard basically keeps the monsters inside.

2. Maybe the doors need to magnetize to the ground in order to close? I don't know about that one.

3. He will pee his pants.

1. makes sure the robots don't escape. live bait
2. magnet doors so they aren't a fire hazard
3. his pants

Foxxy x Fan
The guys over at 4chaan are gonna love this one...

Chenergy true but, foxxxy might let the other anamatronics out and that would be scary for a kid in his bed and he sees foxxy or chica at his window

I think they would save money due to the budget cuts by simply sealing the place down at night electronically with some sort of security card key. Instead of having to hire someone to manage the power.

[Romin^5]

He needs that money.

Real question: why he come back after 1st night?

Because the security guard is a sick man who gets off from getting chased by pizzeria animatronics. He enjoys it.

Better question out of all of this is, why the hell don't they pull out the power source of the animatronics? Or at least incapitate it by unbolting it's limbs??

The same reason that the security guard is in his office attempting to holdout until morning. They'll kill you.

I believe they need to make sure the animatronics cannot leave. With someone inside the building they'll have the urge to go after that person. Plus they wish to keep the animatronics well kept and "alive" for the kids. The security guard probably doesn't need to use the bathroom but if I had to guess... he'd go in a soda bottle or something. The doors need power to stay closed because the latch is mechanical. Without the power the latch cannot function properly and will automatically oopen the doors.

I've worked as licensed security. As far as why security would need to be there, it could be a number of things but generally people won't hire a guard and pay a security company (because they have to be licensed guards in most states) unless there's a liability issue and they need documented proof that security was hired to deter any incidents. From there, anything that happens could potentially be the fault of the guard company (if he wasnt doing his job), and the blame is off the back of the property owner.

So technically these animatronic puppets are considered property. Since what they're doing is technically "assault" (if not murder) but assault implies intent, and intent implies consciousness, this is some serious lawsuit territory especially at a kids restaurant. You've got personal harm, negligence, and property damage, and god knows what else happens when you lose. If these things spilled out into the neighborhood, that kind of suit could take the whole restaurant chain out of business.

As far as guard accomodations go, it's a roll of the dice depending on the post you get. I knew a guy who was stationed guarding some trailers in a vacant lot with no buildings at all. He spent the nights sitting in his truck and peeing in the bushes. I've worked in large places that provided golf carts for patrolling purposes, but if someone forgot to charge the cart, you were on foot. There were places wired up with old cameras that would cut out periodically or go out entirely in the rain. Depending on the post and whatever negotiation went on with your supervisor who set the contract up, you'd generally get a good idea of what you were going into, and despite whatever issues you had on the site the job was usually easy money. You'd just sit at a desk or ride around in a cart, and the harder it got, the better it paid (usually).

So for this game, the reason you're there makes sense, and the limited battery life on electronics could be written off as employee negligence or bad equipment. Keeping costs down is a bit flimsy when it comes to electricity since you can't reasonably be expected to maintain constant surveillance effectively while watching the electric bill just as closely, but bad batteries or old equipment fail all the time. A lot of places will kill breakers and lighting when closing up shop. It actually makes more sense to say you're running on a PC backup battery - you'd be surprised how many places use those for everything from computers to lights to camera servers to charging cel and emergency phones.

So tl;dr version is this: nothing about the game is so far out of the ordinary that it's a stretch to explain (except for, you know, the killer puppets).

That was a very interesting read, thank you.
Seriously though, must have sucked staring at cameras all night. I guess it trains you to look out for tiny details though.

I guess they would need a guard to keep the place from being broke into, but come on. 120 dollars a week just to get nearly brutally mudered and stuffed in a costume.
