I could see why honor and respect would be issues here. It's also impressive that they've gotten it to work in the game, because when you consider real-life killers in a team setting, oftentimes the goals are not achieved and individual wills dominate (for example, Survivor and other reality television shows). It's admirable that the game is using a team structure as a basis for the game, but it also speaks to the sadness of the human condition that only with "honor points" will strong-willed humans work together.
