Is there a verb that means "to act with honor" or "to follow a code"?
To add context, I'm creating a skill for a RPG that covers interacting with a organized crime organization in a somewhat ritualized fashion. This is done to avoid giving offense essentially. This ties in to the sociological concept of "face" as any slight against your honor must be remedied, in extreme cases by duel's to the death. The skill allows you to act without giving offense/slighting honor and to personally "save face".
I would say discipline. The skill could be called discipline, since discipline is
"the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior" (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/discipline)
and if you have discipline you "follow a code", and follow/listen to what others want/say, and you please people.
