A Load of Honor

Honor is such crap.

Honor doesn't work unless everyone follows the same "code".
Examples:
Person A believes it's not honorable to kill.
Person B believes it is honorable to kill those who don't think it's honorable to kill.

Person B kills Person A. From a game perspective, who "won" there, for all sets of "won" that include "continued to live"?

More real-life example:
Person A believes it is not honorable to steal.
Person B doesn't consider stealing to effect honor in any way.

Person B steals Person A's Thing.

Who "won"? Hint: It's not Person A.

For all sets of providing reasons to support an argument where one person suggests "honor" as a reason, that person is a fool. A self-righteous fool, at that.
