My bro actually wrote a paper for uni on ethics and company espionage... He used IC as an example in it. In short it comes down to the idea that honour (or good ethics for companies) are aspired by many and talked highly of by even more. Yet if one family (or company) abandons this it gains an advantage over all the other families. Therefore others will copy it until no families play honorable anymore (or only very few). At that point it is probable that things will turn around and ppl will get tired of all the spying and dishonorable behaviour and attempt to change things around. More families will play honorable and try to enforce honor. This continues until the cycle is reversed again.

Mods however cannot enforce honour (too much work, and too sketchy most of the time). Players and families will have to sort it out themselves.

let's hope mw players keep it most of the time clean in capricorn, like andro players can, but i doubt.

Add a new "tag system"? Like breaking a nap -> -5 points. Vulturing -1 points? And enable all players to see this ranks. Dunno how many people would actually NAP a family where the leader got -100 such points (which a bunch of people would have already). It would make families chose other leaders then those NAP breaking ones. As it is atm, people who break NAPs one round becomes leaders for their familes the round after again...
It would be rather easy for mods to check if a family breaks a NAP as well.

wtf is this "Honor Code"??? I've been playing since beta1 and I never heard of it:P

I would like to have one galaxy have the Code of Honor enforced by Mods and have other galaxies play like normal.

well Winnie, actually you can teach others a bit of honour Last two rounds I bitched against the  other attackers in my family if they attacked small families. they respected my opinion and ceased such attacks

anyway honour should still be optional else it loses its worth. I still think that people should be able to be dishonourable if they wish. I just wish that it would be easier to pinpoint such players and families and that the galaxy would deal with those people!

you honor your family first,allies second and you owe no one else anything period.

Muhahahaha, LAME.

I give you, your fam, this round, is the only fam that matters, not old fam, not next fam.

I also give you, allies are a close second.

But you owe noone else? LIES, DAMNED LIES!!!

You owe your naps. You owe anyone you gave your word to.  You owe it to way smaller fams, to leave em alone. You owe it to fams you declare on, to stop in a  reasonable amount of takes. You owe it to yourself, and your fam, to display some small amount of honour. You owe the entire game, to play fairly, and with honour.

You owe to Stefan, for creating the game, and to to mods for trying to run it the best they can.

An, it goes on an on.  THINK!!

lol so I was thinking right.

You know how most of IC uses TNT's standard nap? Why not make a whole new nap? For example, we make a code of honor thread each round for each galaxy. Ppl who sign naps have the option of signing the code of honor as well and the list of ppl who signed, post in uni news.

*NOTE: I am not advising an IA*

And then ppl who violate it get punished by the community? Just a thought.

isn't truth/right relative?

i agree but the thing is to not give your word.
this way you cannot be called dishonorable.
only do for your family that is right,do not nap because you have a friend in a fam.
for christ sakes this is a war game,if you wanna play nice then go play chutes and ladders with your little sister and leave the war games alone.

what! that's crazy! your little sister cheats and cusses worse than a drunken sailor!
