 		The Honor System Seal
Massive speculation / Minor information
There has been a bunch of talk about the Honor System seal in the Abduction thread; I'm putting this here hoping to keep that thread more on topic.

Unlike what was said, the people who got marked 'cheaters' (rather harsh after the way Disobedience worked -- 'impatient' might be nearer and nicer) do get the 200 points; at least the totals of a couple I checked add up properly only if those points are counted.

The message below the "CHEATER CHEATER PUMPKIN EATER" tag in the points listing varies. I've seen one that said some number of minutes -- rather than a few seconds -- and a couple that said 'a few hours'.
All, however, only got 200 points.

This little experiment has me wondering if those who wait until the 23rd will get a special 'present' (or a higher point value) or will they get something like an "HONORABLE" mark and the same value ( or maybe no points if the admins DM like I sometimes used to Twisted Evil ).

And what about those people who join after the 23rd (or right now). Will the two weeks run from the time they join (or first look at the seal) -- or will they miss out entirely. (Something that might also happen to the 'Boy Sprouts' who wait until after the 23rd Twisted Evil )

Time will tell, but it already looks like someone with good access to the data could get a sociology paper out of this….

It is an interesting sociology here. I generally take M word for word, and unlike Disobedience Seal, where he says 'Please don't contact M at themastertheorem.com', but says it's ok to break the rules, the Honor System Seal is different I think. This is not a rule, but a trust. M says 'wait', so I will wait. It could be a Christmas gift to those who comply - but will they get a gift or coal? This is sort of funny too to see who does and who does not. Who is naughty (eager for points) and who is nice (having fun). Time will tell...

 		Just wondering:
Does anyone have an open date other than the 23rd for this?

If so, when did you first open the seal page?

 		So.....
Did anyone wait? (I didn't because as discussed above i thought it would be similar to disobedience seal and that it was the point not to)

And if so what was the result?

200 Points?

More?

A halo next to your name?

 		200 points. That's it. That... And no "CHEATER" moniker.
