Oh, I have. Well, actually, no one had to check the battle report, because 
everyone knew that the guy that claimed to be there had actually been 
wounded in the previous battle the turn before. It didn't help that he wrote a 
long RP about it, detailing heroic deeds against the evil invading armies that 
everyone knew couldn't have happened, because we all *knew* he had been 
wounded...

In any case, I don't think the buying of honor/prestige is a way that we want to 
go with the game. IMO, stats like that need to be above reproach. If you're 
allowed to buy them, then we might as well just put a little spinner in the 
Actions tab that lets you set your honor and prestige to whatever you want it to 
be.
