Oh, I thought that was David's guess. I didn't realize that was confirmed.

I seem to remember him explaining that it's a quote from Tommy Smothers. I've heard that name somewhere but I don't know who it is.

Yes, he did say that. Tommy Smothers is one of the 2 "Smothers Brothers" who are one of the all time great comedy teams. If you can come up with some old recordings of them, I personally guarantee that you'll enjoy them.

Without deviating from this topic, I am not aware of anyone else in this community that has passed away, but I thought I'd just throw that out so as to possibly honor any other fallen emperors.

"Fallen Emperor" is an excellent name for a lost wargamer. Kinda like 'Silent Key' for HAM radio operators.

I really hope Aaron would do this small favor for one of our members. It would be nice if this could be done with any others who no longer walk among us. It would be a fine tribute not only to the members but also would make the game something special and their families could get the game and keep it as a keepsake...

After mentioning this on the beta forums and exchanging a few emails with Aaron, here's what's going to happen, in Aaron's own words:

That sounds like a great idea. I don't know about having his name as a system name, but I can surely work his name and logon in to a few places.
