We have added a Gift Upgrades feature that allows you to gift an account upgrade to another member, just in time for the holiday season. You can see the gift option when going to the Account Upgrades screen, or on any user profile screen.
Aptly enough, a few games later we got a huge influx of Realpolitik players from Civ4 S&T that pretty much rewrote the community. Still, in retrospect I'm amazed we managed to assemble a coherent hobby out of this. XD
Side comment: I have a friend called Þorvaldur, but being Icelandic, he pronounces it (soft-th) Thor. How do you pronounce Thorvald? (I'm guessing just as Tor-vuld.)
