Decorations and honours
gollark: I don't actually have any authority whatsoever beyond helper powers and control of ██% of the bots here, really.
gollark: Except you just unilaterally came up with that initial statement, so if I wanted to (and I totally do) I could reinterpret that as you demanding some stuff for nothing in return.
gollark: Which is somewhat reduced by you vaguely compromising, I guess.
