Hey Chris- is this still in use, or should it just be ignored?

So we are playing in Sorikonia this season and so I am posting the revised Honor System for Reokron. The main difference is that I took lvls our of the equation as well as deaths. The system is much more stable and based a lot more on what you do or don't do rather than simply lvling up or money etc. Much nicer. Enjoy.
Revised and Simplified Honor System 2012
Each player has a Family Honor and Personal Honor (see AD&D Oriental Adventures for more info). This honor stays with the character through their life and has a major influence on their status in the province. Far more important than ones level is ones honor. Your Personal Honor and your Family Honor begin at the same level. The rates are listed below (sorry for the way the chart copied, it looks much better in word).
Legacy to Honor Chart
Tenant 0
Common 2
Free Holder 4
Man at Arms 6
Craftsman 8
Merchant 10
Gentry 12
Lesser Noble 14
Noble 16
Distant Royalty 18
Close Royalty 20
You can get pluses to honor and minuses to honor in the following ways.
Pluses To Honor
+1 honor for an incredibly heroic act.
+1 honor for being wealthy (usually over 1000 gold in savings)
+1 honor for owning land (larger provinces may earn more than 1 honor).
+1 honor for being a guild master.
+1 honor for exceptional displays of character (integrity, courage, fortitude, honesty, and loyalty,).
+1 honor for being a person of note (great poet, writer, diplomat etc,)
Minuses to Honor
-1 honor for acting in a way not appropriate for ones honor (i.e. if you have low honor you can get away with almost anything, if you have high honor and sneeze in the wrong direction you loose honor).
-1 honor for vile backstabbing or taking unfair advantage
-1 honor for acting outside ones chosen alignment
-1 honor for incurring a debt
-1 honor for dieing badly
-1 honor for having deaths higher than your lvl
-1 honor for displays of poor character (cowardliness, cruelty, greed, lying, disloyalty).
Consequences of Honor: If you have high honor you will be treated like a high ranking guild officer, will be resurrected for free, given magical gifts etc. If you have low honor people will treat you like the dirt that you are.
(1) If your personal honor ever drops below you Family honor you have dishonored your family and their honor drops permanently by 1.
(2) If you ever reach half your families honor, your family honor again drops by 1 and you are cast out by your family and disinherited as well as rejected by the society. You will loose ALL privileges and protection and will be shunned by the society.
(3) If your personal honor is ever double your family honor, your family honor goes up permanently by 1 as long as you remain at double or higher than your families original honor.
