No-one's achieved it, but I'm delighted to report that two players are each one step away from achieving it (they probably don't know that).
Some of our fanciest words (caliginous e.g.) are Latin-derived, so some Romance language speakers may have an easier time with them.

You are a cruel and devious man.
We sorta know what Paramount presence isn't kinda. I had capped stats and N12 (The notability cap at the time), and there was no new option on the unsigned message, though I was a Shattering Force so...
I think my point here is really bluh Alexis bluh

My guess is capped stats, capped notability and one, or more, 5 card lodging. I don't know if the option will appear on the Unsigned Letter as the original 4 stat cap options weren't on it.

That's very sweet of you but I'm honestly trying to be helpful.
Summary!
- two people are one step away from Passion, and might yet achieve it before the lacre all dries up and the Destinies close
- various people are at various stages of the Paramount Presence line
- Ambition: Enigma has a scheduled update (<--this is true)
- 2,946 people have Acquaintance: Heptagoat
- there's a Latin-derived word for 'North' that isn't 'boreal'

* googles "synonym for north" *
. . . "septentrional"?
(I'm not even touching the rest of that.)

I just. I just want you to appreciate Alexis.
Just how much screaming and wailing and gnashing of teeth is occurring amongst the neurotic bleeding edge players of the IRC room.
I just want you to know.

Septentrional?
"septentrio"
Literally "seven plow ox," from septem (“seven”) + trio (“plow ox”), from the stem of terere (“to rub”), referring to the stars of Ursa Major or Ursa Minor
YET AGAIN SEVEN IS THE NUMBER.
Seven False-Stars? Seven Oxen?
I usually am not this rash but I hereby suggest we start grinding "Casing..." IRL for Heist: Steal Alexis Kennedy's Work Computer.
All shall be revealed.

...septentrional? The significance of this beyond its numerical connection escapes me, though. Would that make the Northridden Septentrionalists? It has a nice ring to it.
also I refuse I believe anything attached to ambition: enigma until I get photographic proof and paperwork signed in triplicate affirming its existence
wow /soundly/ beaten to the punch on that synonymy. The curse of a wonky keyboard!
Also: Hyperborean, which was Greek and then Latin and then English, apparently. It's also a few letters off of Hyperbole. this is clearly of significance to somebody somewhere

Do you know, I accidentally gave away my old work email password in the RPS interview, and changed it in a fit of prudence, just in case.

This is what you were planning wan't it Alexis?
To murder the IRC room by making us scream and panic so much our blood boils and head explode.
We're on to you Alexis, we know your game.

Well, this topic has taken a few interesting twists.
For my part, I would like to apologies for my earlier accusations. I should have given the benefit of the doubt that the original poster did not intend the mistakes and should instead have asked. And I apologies if that post ruffled any scales in the community.
I would say "feathers" but all things that fly in the Neath are sacred and shall not be intoned lightly.

The House of Chimes had an Ambition: Enigma requirement as well, that doesn't mean it's real <0>
although that does count as a content update, of sorts. i suppose.
