Seej, how about:

exchange
aiko anna caine garnet kurt tippy von

You might also try the list of registered domain names that have not yet gone live, or perhaps the badge numbers?

Oooh, one more thing. I know the error logs used 10 digit sequences of the number "e" to define cache files, but not all of the first sequences of the number were used.

OK, all suggestions have been added but still no joy. Starting to think this is all in my mind (though at least we have a fair sized dictionary that might come in useful in future).

Short answer: yes and no.
Long answer: the rules file will take all words and try them as upper case and lower case (and quite a few other things besides) but it won't capitalise the first letter of a word so I've gone through and done that by hand.

I got to taking a good look at the photos last night, and was thinking there was something on the guys arm - insignia or something. Blew it off, went to bed, and what's the Sentinal article about today?

Quote:
Certain secret societies and religious groups have also produced their own Leitmarks, the better to recognise one another discreetly in a public forum.


I'm really not very good with images, so I have no idea as to how to get any clarity on the dude's arm - all I did was zoom in. Anyone else able to get a better look?

Ok - now I think I'm really convinced that we need to look at the arm of the "sunglasses guy" in the photos.

Again, from the Op/Ed "Kiteway Cheapens Honour of Leitmarks":

Quote:
A Leitmark worn on your sleeve is a quiet, humble way of showing pride in yourself and in your city.


Additionally, from the Futures, "The Eagle (March 11 - April 10)":

Quote:

As the pop song goes, you'll never get the spoils if it's not in the cards. Stick a card up your sleeve, snookums, and let the spoils come to you. But just this once. Our secret. Yours, mine, and the 5 million strong Sentinel readership.


Sleeves, marks, mysterious guy in photo, apparently making his right arm *mostly* visible in both shots? I'm adding the photos here in support. I swear in the abbey2 photo you can start to make out some insignia on his sleeve. And in the second photo, he's not crowded around with everyone, looking at what Dinah handed out. He's back by himself playing with his blackberry or pda or cell phone or whatever.

If ya'll think I'm way off, I'll shut up...

Could this be the cube-stealer? There's really no other explanation if this guy IS indeed in-game, and has a Leitmark aready, right? Otherwise Sente would have mentioned this guy showing up in his emails about the event. Instead, no mention of anyone other than Dinah on earth, and this guy (again, IF in game, since it's just good spec currently) is hanging around, disinterested in the Dinah handout, and is showing his insignia. Or we're completely wrong, which we've been numerous times. But this is the most plausible spec I've seen in a while, at least.

It is good spec, but I always thought one of these badges would be more easily distinguished, more like a patch then what I'm seeing on shifty sunglasses dude. You know, something you pin around your arm. Dunno, maybe I'm missing what you guys are seeing.
