Hmm.. I see. So maybe just a regular lottery of all participants in '08, or some people just haven't gotten theirs due to weather, or normal shipping restraints.
I'm now happy to know Rookies were not excluded in the gift.

I don't see the reason for the guessing. We'll all find out what it is soon enough. Right?  |
I'm sorry, but was that a serious question?
Sorry. Couldn't resist asking that. Just play along with it. It's fun.
The seemingly simple explanation I can think of is FIRST (as a whole organization) has liked to generate a "BUZZ" about the new game before it's been released for quite a number of years now. Some great things come out of the discussions, even if they don't come to be a part of the game this year.
I'm guessing the GDC has even maybe gone back to these hint threads, and pulled some feasible items or actions for future games from the guesses.
In any case, it gives us a change to chat about the new game before we're all too busy building robots & our stress levels are up. We may get stressed about the hint, but you shouldn't.
It's the calm before the storm, aka: The 6 weeks of hell!
