"hidden" Spacedock & SRMv1 messages

Okay, now... maybe this has been caught before, but I just registered on the forums yesterday and downloaded Spacedock, DWS and SRMs 1-4 today, so gimme a break, but...

...who's responsible for the sneaky little messages in the odd-numbered page margins of Spacedock and SRMv1? :)

Someone out there has a thing or two for Tears for Fears, James Bond (and MI6) and the 2000 Saints, and either someone named Cami or the states of California and Michigan.

It's not fair, guys; I sprained a muscle in my side a few days ago and really shouldn't be laughing this hard. :rolleyes:

That would be me. :) Spacedock doesn't have too many in them. SRMv1 has a lot. Something like 15 or so.

I'm surprised you found those four! :D

Oh! Of course...

Cute. :) I guess I don't pay attention to the borders very much.

ooohh.... Gotta catch 'em All!!

:D:D:D

Yeah, I think a friend and I have found most if not all of them by now, but I won't spoil all the fun for anyone still looking. ;)

'Thanks' to Sea Tyger for the "R. Isaacs" one; we knew something was going on there, but hadn't quite worked it out yet. I'll also add "Shame on you!", though; you'll never stop the Tal'Shiar if you don't keep your eyes better-peeled! ;)

...though I guess I have an unfair advantage: I am a graphic designer, after all; I'm supposed to notice what's going on in the margins... :p

Happy Hunting!

Hey, I noticed some of these ones some time ago...
Somehow, after seeing "Tears 4 fear" in Spacedock's margins, I wasn't surprised to see them in Don's interests on his member's profile page ;) :p

Tal'Shiar?! Where?!

WHACK

THUMP!

Nothing to see here...move along... ;)

Don held a contest for people to try and find all the eggs in Spacedock. Who won?

If we read it backwards do we hear strange satanic messages? :D

You never expect the Romulan Inquisition. :)

Didn't have many entries in that contest, plus we were moving servers at the time and a lot of entries were lost. So, it was the contest that never happened. :)

I hate to be a pedant, but there are only 30 days in November. :)

Then possibly that was the joke. :)
