If you mean the 'STYOM Forkbeard', 'STYOM the Magnificent'... etc... list that appears when you retire, why not just download a saved game from one of the Hall of Fame boards? The entire list of leader titles will show when you retire from a high scoring game.
That's assuming you can't find the list in game.txt. It's probably there, but I haven't looked.
STYOM

A threadjack - similar in root to a hijack or carjack suggests that one or more posters have sidetracked a thread to another topic - my post was enquiring whether Weggelobt (which I ?think? literally translates as 'lost way') was German for threadjack.

Nope, what I said doesn't mean "threadjack" or anything like that in German. It's a word that is basically used when people get promoted to higher positions because they're not longer wanted in their current position (incompetent, unpopular, etc.) but can't be kicked out of their offices. This is the procedure that made for the whole European Parliament, an I thought that was what happened to that person mentioned in the post before my ... post.

Thanks Ramses - very interesting but on the wrong thread - if you would like to start a "What does your handle signify?" thread - that might be neat - we have not had one for some time
