The Urchins? Or is that off-limits because it seems to be the name of Caesar's "gang?"

Wow... has this baby gathered a head overnight!
I like the sound of the MetaBreakers... even though it has a bit of a "B-Boy Fly-Girl" ring to it. Almost anything starting with Meta will be catchy actually...
How about the Metagraphers? Contains subtle nods to .graffle, steganography, and xnbombs exellent work on the graphing of Paranormal events/Whomps.
If the Beast is anything to go by though, we don't really need to make the name ENTIRELY game-centric... just as long as it's catchy and sounds cool.
We're on the cutting edge here people! We so l337!
[edit] or how about something Matrixy, like the Free? UnGamers also sounds good, IMHO.
[2ND EDIT] How about Neuralkinetics? "Cyberia Cafe CD found by Trip at Neuralkinetics" sounds pretty cool...

MetaMinds sounds quite good.
Some other random ideas:
- Sticking with Meta, I also like plain old "Metagamers ", which was coined first in the "[HUMOUR] You Might Be A Meta Gamer If......" thread by MatrixofReality... (and mentioned by Chancesend on the previous page).
- Going with BriEnigma's idea, Hardcortechs would be the next step, but it's probably better as an honorary title for Xnbomb...
- The Controllers would be a fun link to all the Brave New World hints, but probably a bit too megalomanical
- For now though, my vote goes to BriEnigma's idea of "The Urchins ". I think it's a nice and not too obvious link to the ARG, and also a very probable one, because the Urchin group of Caesar's hackers also seems to be trying to uncover what is going on at MetaCortechs, like we are...
I'd like "Teribly Obsessed People" (TOP) as sort of a sub-title though

I like that too, has echoes of street urchins, such as the Baker Street Irregulars.

I agree with Giskard - Urchins sounds good, though I think the name should reflect insomnia and addiction... something about loosing the ability to function in real life... Just please don't let me be called a navel-gazer or a dolphin-seeker
