I gots an open qvestion for de netvork: vhat does "honor" mean to hyu? Iz it de same or different den "duty" or "loyalty"? Does hyu try to live "honorably", und vhat does dot involve?

[voice][private/moderate to hack]

De more dot I hears about vhat a samurai iz und does, de more I iz reminded of de Jagerkin. Loyalty to de Master or Mistress until death, und a few odder tings here und dere, make me very curious. Perhaps ve could learn a ting or two from dem, und dey from us. I gots to admit, though, dot I finds dis "honor" ting both fonny und confusing...

Of course. Principles and beliefs, good morals. Integrity, mercy, discipline... Sticking to all that, like you said. Honor's just one of those tricky words, huh?

Phew, this really makes you think. There are definitely times where you have to pick and choose, duty or honor, honor or loyalty. I guess you can say that it's how you lived overall that's either honorable or dishonorable.

Hum! Honor is the tie that binds, I suppose. I'm rather more of a duty and loyalty person myself.

We're so easily misunderstood!
