How shall we honour our past leader(s)?

[Jon Shafer]

I'll settle for either the continent or the planet we're on.

But seriously, nothing needs to be done. I just did what I felt was my part. Others may feel that their job is more or less than what I did. No need to award anyone. People will be recognized for their accomplishments if they do a lot either way.

Lets pitch together and buy former pres's (as they come) a steak. Unless they're vegetarians, then they get seeds :P

When everyone can finally be able to use 1.29, we could name units that make GL's after either the current SMC, past SMCs, or other past/current leaders.

This is a great idea.

We could also name cities (with the support of te public) after our past pharoes, or even our money (instead of 9 gpt, we could say 9 tpt [trips per turn])

I don't like the idea of awards: what woud they be given for, and who do we make sure they are awarded for excellence and not by nepotism?

Democratically, like all the other important decisions. A high honor should only be conferred by a popular poll -- and a significant majority. (2/3s, maybe 3/4s for a higher honor).

OTOH, I love the idea of naming leaders after deserving candidates. (Means we'll have to go to war a lot to get enough leaders though )
