You should have asked Steve or Randy when the internet gets their treat too!
that's what I meant on page 2 of this thread:

FP is gone so I can say it as it was mentioned without jeopardizing the operation. This should have been quite straightforward operation with clear objectives:
primary objectives:
1/ capture as much gameplay as you can in better quality than we had before (thanks god others finished this objective)
2/ capture the trailer with hidden cam (failed like at PAX)
secondary objectives:
1/ interview Randy P. (just in case he would let the cat out of the bag, however not likely)
2/ get harddrive from one of those computers, whole computer at best (in case it would needed better analysis)
Randy is not going to say much more - he repeats his enthusiasm (or fake it over and over - if so award him for it :-/), so I thought that interview is clear secondary objective and so at first he will go around silently with hidden cam and capture the trailer if there was like 50+ people standing there was no chance that you'd get caught.
I know that there was lot of stress and you didn't want to get caught however IMHO it was risk worth 25EUR.
The problem was that I was ill at the time of FL and that I got no lift there so if I had to get one it'd be like +200EUR for transport for me.
You know it's lovely that Randy liked to have ppl over there from Duke4.net but it didn't really helped us at all it helped only him to gain more publicity...
I think this picture describes it best (taken from GBX forums):
