Yes, announcing a game too early will fck it up... somehow...
Martin Van Buren was a President of the United States (1837 to 1841)
If you haven't noticed they seem to be using US presidents for their project names. (Such as Jefferson).

Who gives a fuck what the project name is? EVoG's game is called Project Phoenix for now but I doubt it will have anything to do with birdies. What is F3's safe title was COOKIES FOR HIRE?!? IT WOULDN'T BE ABOUT COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always thought the idea of having a codename for something was so other people could not decide what the project actually was until they were allowed to know so.

COOKIES FOR HIRE COOKIES FOR HIRE
