You can't really leave proper hints or foreshadowings of something that doesn't exist yet.
I'd like to point out that RK07 touched on this very concept in EP6 when we learned the Gamemaster could change his story right in the middle so long as an answer still existed that fit the reds.

Actually, based off of the YouTube comments he's gotten, KnownNoMore does have a modest number of supporters. ShKanon is pretty hard to swallow for some, after all.

And I must admit from that pov it seems a large part of the regulars here "lost" badly at Umineko.
Nah man, everyone here loves Umineko. That's why they're here. And if it seems as though some people here dislike it, I might have to explain Tsundere Theory.
