To expand on my previous suggestion, I think you should have a page which lists of all previous kings and the current king. Then have a set of downloadable crown images that a person can wear by putting them into his/ her sig, avatar or webpage. Anyone found wearing royal attire without having earned it will be abused, ridiculed and generally ostracised.
Crown 1: "I once was king". Silver Crown. Can be worn by anyone who appears on the list of previous kings.
Crown 2: "King of the hill". Gold Crown. Can be worn only by the current king.
Crown 3: "King of Kings". Little picture of Elvis. Can be worn only the person who currently holds the record for most consecutive games on the throne. Someone who is the curretn king and the king of kings gets an icon of Elvis wearing a gold crown...
You could even go wild and award lesser royal titles to people who have never been king...
EDIT: I moved Elvis...
