Proposal: Honor is a civic virtue.

Self Killed - Failed by Chivalrybean

Replace all mentions in the ruleset and Einherjar list of “Honor” with “Alignment”, “Honorable” with “Lawful” and “Dishonorable” with “Chaotic”.

This is essentially what we’re using it for anyway, so why not name it appropriately?

against I prefer Honor; Law and Chaos sound too dungeons-and-dragonsy to apply to real historical figures.

against from http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/honor

honor: one whose worth brings respect or fame
honorable: characterized by integrity
dishonorable: lacking honor : shameful

i prefer that to
alignment: an arrangement of groups or forces in relation to one another
lawful: being in harmony with the law
chaotic: a state of things in which chance is supreme

this way, when we add an anarchist to the list, they might be considered honorable here, depending on their actions/lives, even though d&d;would call them chaotic out of hand.
