Oxford dictionary has both spellings.

The issue that the OP is talking about is not an honor issue, rather it is an issue of inexperience or low skill level and simply nothing more. 

Honor encompasses things like honesty, integrity, loyalty, bravery, selflessness, respect, etc. and I could go on ad nauseum.  So how does this apply here?   Only thing I can think that might apply is respect for others game play.  The only exception is squaddies kills!  Always OK to take those!

I really should listen to those little voices in my head...

Always cracks me up to have the picker throw the <S> out after the pick too.  I don't care that you picked me, but I'm not really impressed either.  At least give credit to the guy who worked the fight to the point I was that much of an easier target

I always laugh at that too.

[TwinBoom]

alot more than a few. I.d count you among them 

Watch your mouth child Joe has more respect and honor than you will ever think of having

You have crossed the line here

we busted an small attack into one of our bases a couple of nights ago, we headed to their base and proceeded to kill 3 or 4 guys that upped several times.  they were new guys according to their score.  couple of kills lots of flights.  at the end I felt bad since they hadnt kill any of us, so i faked a pick pulled in front of him and decided to let him shoot me down.  I had announced that on the local Chanel, 2 guys got on his six but pulled away when I asked them to let him shoot me down.  he tried but his aim wasnt so good, he was missing at 400, then to my amazement a long time player decided to just come in and shoot him down, even as I asked him to stay out.  I went and landed disgusted.  was that honor, or a reflection of his character?  probably not.  it's just a game where we pretend to be badasses  .

And you are a good example of such hypocrite. You whine when you die and say you were "ganged" or what not but you are more than happy to "gang" yourself.

Maker, Your points are entirely valid. I'd question, but do not know, your stance or expectation. After all, is this not a realistic game in that it sets up a "race for the bottom", much like war itself.?

Now picture an attractive 18 year old girl in an isolated room with a bunch of young gang members or a boss who leaves his jewelry-store employee with a request that he inventory some pile of new stock (not sure what all's in there). These are all similar situations, i.e., ideal situations for a "race to the bottom". I like the idea of this type of moral hazard so well I think somebody should devleop a TV series on the theme.

The AH analog: "here's an LA-7... it's really good for HO'ing and running but don't ho and run with it..."

[PJ_Godzilla]

Hah! Well in that case I'll be sure to steal your kills every time I'm flying with you, and mercilessly gang you everytime I'm flying against you.  It'll be very fun for me and apparently you will be indifferent to it so why not? 

There you go, Grizz. Let the race for the bottom continue!!!

I wish there was a way that squad buddies could hold an opponent down so that I, or other squad buddies, could repeatedly bust him up. That'd be so kewl.

I'm kidding, of course, but I find this thread absolutely hilarious - and your response tickled me. BTW, Hawker, you might want to avoid the dude. He's pretty handy with that tater, as I've found a couple of times now.

it comes down to the fact if someone has Honor in life they will carry that over to this game.

if they don't they wont.

most people today do not have any Honor, or understand the concept of Honor.
Honor is a dying way of life, this world does not encourage, Honor just the opposite, so I am not surprised that 90% of the MA are clueless to it.

those that are saying "gee guys its just a silly game........"

just prove my point, they have no concept of Honor, for Honor is in ALL aspects of life, and should most certainly show up in a game of competition.

It is a silly game INK   That being said, how you approach anything is a reflection on you as a person.  So I'd hope that folks would get what you are saying.
