I will quote a movie for it is the best description I have ever heard of what Honor is.

"Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;"

That's Kingdom of Heaven isn't it?  I liked that movie.

Midway talking about honor is like Madonna talking about virginity.

true story, obviously embellished somewhat, if I were to believe the DVD that came with the movie it said it was extremely close to reality.

totally..

Pope tells them go kill the unbelievers and they will have a guaranteed spot in Heaven.... :rolleyes:

funny how all these people through out history call on the Bible for reasons of murder...yet Yeshua(jesus's real name) was all about forgiveness....

even crazier....a line in the bible   Yahaveh speaking  "They will kill you thinking they are doing my will..."

This is a flight simulator, not 'Knights of the Round Table.' Head-on attacks are, quite frankly, modeled ... and allowed. As is vulching, boom and zooming and flying a Spitfire ... and ... ahem ... shooting at another player who is, otherwise, very much engaged with others. 'Honor' is an artificial standard some players attempt to shame others with when, in fact, they are frustrated due to the perception that they are being treated unfairly. The perception is false. 'Honor' is a whine. 'Integrity', otoh, is how one decides to behave (on a consistant basis) and it is independent of how others do. To point at others for their lack of 'honor' is not a display of integrity. The decision to jump in to steal a kill from five other players piling up on a lone opponent ... or not ... is a personal one - and can be claimed integrity or not (in this game of pretend pilots). The decision to nail one's self to a cross and bemoan the community's 'sudden'  lack of 'honor' is merely self-persecution (and, as said before, frustration) on display. Honestly, I'm embarrassed more for the protester than the practicioner.

it's called the English language :aok Therefore the way it is spoken and written by English people is evidently the correct way ;)

(I do actually understand the differences between American English and regular/Oxford English, and wish to make it clear that I am just joking, before this comment spawns a stupid argument and 'pesonal attacks'  :angel: )

Looking for honor in a video game is like looking for love in a brothel.
