Poll: What's Your Real Life Alignment?

[WitherVoice]

I do what I feel like, but what I feel like mostly involves not making too much in the way of waves in the world. I follow some rules and laws, and break others. I gladly help people if it's not too far out of my way, but I also exploit and manipulate people to get what I want (though I do TRY not to exploit them too heavily to their detriment). For all intents and purposes, I figure that puts me fairly Neutral.

 

[Toriver]

I believe I would be neutral good.

Follow the authority on what is right, challenge the authority on what is wrong. Reserve the right of revolution, but don't abuse it.

 

[katsabas]

Neutral good, tending chaotic. Cause where I am from, laws keep making bad things happen to good people. I try to abide by any law I can though and that's why I play 3.5 minis mostly with LG warbands.

There are nine D&D alignments, my friend, all of which deserve their own category. I don't understand why you put Neutral, Neutral Good and Neutral Evil all in the same category. After all, they really aren't anything alike. To be NG or NE merely means you are committed to good or evil irrespective of considerations of law. You are willing to use laws if they can further your goals, but not bound by them.

I am Neutral Good. I believe in the triumph of what is morally good, rather than legally good. As long as the laws of our society achieve justice, I am fine with them, but when they do not, I want to see them either changed, or barring that, I'd be willing to sponsor vigilante action. Some might say that is Chaotic Good, but I'd be inclined to disagree, since I am willing to abide by the law as long as it promotes good.

So I've been thinking about the criteria of the different alignments in DnD and was wondering how people would characterize themselves and why? It's a good way to give yourself a nice honest self analysis.

So Escapists, what's your alignment?

Apologies if the neutral options got to specific.

I would characterize myself as Chaotic Good, I like doing the right thing and living by my own rules. I am repelled from doing mischievous, mean, or selfish acts. But I don't rat on people, I follow my own moral code (one that isn't forced upon me by say the law or a religion)

Chaotic good, I will do whats right regardless of weather its questionable legally or morally.

I choosed "other" because i do not wish to be lumped together with "good neutral" and "evil neutral".

 

[Mechsoap]

Neutral good i would say, though others would have slightly different viewpoints of me.

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

Neutral Good.

"I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong"

 

[S.R.S.]

True Neutral. To me it sounds like I'm just too lazy to be anything else. It's the "meh" alignment.

Never played the game so i dont know how the alignments work/what they mean.

Can someone give a brief rundown for the n00bs (i.e. me) and then I'll chose.

It's a two dimensional grid, with one axis representing order/lawevil - thus resulting in 9 possibilities.

Order and chaos in that game mainly is about if you believe that certain codexes and "rules" should be respected *regardless of the circumstances* (i.e. paladin), or if you tend to "rebell" against said rules (i.e. thief). Neutral in that case means, that you either don't care and just do what currently makes sense, or that you have a very "moderate" standpoint (i.e. believing in some laws, yet considering other laws stupid). An attempt to always strengthen the currently weak side, to keep a balance, would also classify as neutral.

As for the goodevil axis: Its a big vague mess of what people consider "good" and what they consider "evil". You can pretty much take standard western morals, and get a blueprint of whats considered good and whats considered evil. Neutral here plays the same role as with law/chaos - you may note care, have your own rules that depend on circumstances, or you may be trying to always strenghten the weak side to keep balance.

 

[Stonker]

Most likely Lawful Evil.
Essentially I try to enforce logic on a situation, and then act in the way that will solve the problem/ achieve my goal while having as much fun along the way. Which often involves other people getting pissed off.

Then again, I sometimes remember that life's all for nothing and that problems/goals are hence irrelevant and then I go hedonistic on the world's arse. Which involves more people getting pissed off. I suppose that's Chaotic Evil. Or maybe Chaotic Neutral? I don't set out to do evil, it just sorta happens. Far more often than the good. Are unintentional evil-doers set to "Evil" on the scale or "Neutral"?
Guessing the former but correct me on that if I am wrong.

 

[h0wdyth3r3]

Lawful Good. Rules are rules, and they're (for the most part) made with the general public's best interest in mind. Don't be confused by the paladin who's forced to enforce an evil rule. A Paladin who must choose between chaos (breaking a bad law) or evil (enforcing a bad law) should change the law.
All this talk about "lawful stupid" reminds me of a dungeons and dragons player I used to play with. His character was a cleric who chose the alignment "stupid good". We renamed some of his spells to reflect his low intelligence score, such as "Hug person" instead of "Hold person" and "Bake Cookies" instead of "Conjure food and water". XD

 

[Zarthek]

Lawful Good. Mostly because I never seem to get in trouble and help others a fair amount.

Also every damn one of those alignment quizzes keeps calling me Lawful Good, so there's my backup for this.

 

[PureChaos]

i do whatever i feel like doing at the time, be it considered evil or good. what would that make me?

If you still tend to adhere to rules, then lawful neutral. If rules don't affect your decisions much (but you also don't break them for the sake of breaking them), then true neutral (also sometimes just called neutral). If you tend to rebell against rules, then chaotic neutral.

 

[Summerstorm]

Ok... i had written a crazy long post here about how i display many different "alignments" and have seemingly contradictory tendencies. But we ALL have that. To make it all short:

Mainly Neutral Good: General Behavior and attitude
sprinkles of Lawful Neutral: Personal Code of honor, indifferences to most groups/persons
Maybe a few bits of chaotic good and lawful evil.

 

[Angerwing]

I'm Chaotic Good.

Best way to describe me is Morally sound, Ethically sketchy. I have a fairly clearly defined set of morals in my head. The don't really correlate with our laws, but on the whole I'm a very pleasant person to be caught at the mercy of.

But I can be a real asshole from time to time.
