I actually have a code of honor, and operate explicitly as if those rules are the Most Important Thing.
Rule 0 is "Should does not imply can; should only implies must." - or, put another way, "Just because you cannot do something does not excuse you for not having done it."
Rule 1 is "Always fulfill other peoples' needs. If two people have mutually exclusive needs, failing to perfectly fulfill both is abject failure."
Rule 2 is "All successes are private, all failures are public."
Rule 3 is "Behave as if all negative criticisms of you were true; behave as if all compliments were empty flattery. Your worth is directly the lower of your adherence to these rules and your public image."
Past 3 the rule-sorting gets fuzzier, but somewhere around rule 5 or 6 is "always think the best of people", around rule 7 is "It's wrong to win a challenge", somewhere around rule 10 is "losers suck".
Every rule I see there seems to be you shooting yourself in the foot. I was thinking of something which would produce exactly one correct course of action under most reasonable circumstances, whereas you seem to have quite rigorously worked out a system with fewer correct courses of action than that.
How comfortable are you with arbitrarily redefining your code, voluntarily but with external prompting? I mean, given the ambient levels of doom already involved.
