Yeah, I see what you mean. I doubt FIRST would release the password as the game hint - somebody would probably figure it out and ruin the surprise and strict time constraint. But you never really do know with the GDC...

And a password guessing thread, which may be on the "okay" side of the grey area, is probably not a good idea to delve into, since it's not really within the spirit of early-encrypted-manual-releases (and we don't want that privilege taken away...). For, it's just a better idea to avoid trying to figure out the password early game anyway; I've waited long enough for kickoff, I should be able to make it another three days, 15 hours, ~30 minutes.

And also, it only takes one person to not think before they post, say something stupid and wrong, and ruin it for everybody.
