The one other thing I can think of is giving everyone a "vote of the week", one extra vote to be used as a nomination for recognition of a monk...monks with 5 or more votes at the end of the week have their home nodes linked of The Monastery Gates for the following week as "Exemplary Examples of Piety".

"Nothing is sure but death and taxes" I say combine the two and its death to all taxes!
