My preferred regex delimiter is:
- ~ (tilde)
- # (hash)
- | (pipe)
- {} (braces)
- - (hyphen)
- . (dot) for obfuscation
- $ (dollar) because there aren't enough uses for $ in a regex already
- / (slash) since there's no need to change from the default
- Other (please specify below)

The url was not yet sent to the people of the company so we were the first and legally won the tickets because the quickest win them.
