Poll: What is Your Alignment (Escapist)?

[kickyourass]

A Spider-Man pic and the thread is still on topic?

Yeah baby!

Laws are good, laws are great, laws stop society from collapsing.

But I'd happily break the law to save another person.

That about sums it up for me too.

Close second is Lawful Evil, cause if I ever became Emperor of some medivel fantasy word you bet your bollocks it's gonna be very evil, but by god it's gonna be orderly.

...you're insane, aren't you?

According to the short quiz I just took...

True Neutral

Christ. I thought I'd at least be Neutral Good.

Quick--what quiz? I forgot the site where you could go to and take a quiz to get gauged. The only site I know of now is "What D&D character am I?", and that's for more than your alignment.

I think it's the Wizards of the Coat official thing.

 

[DanielDeFig]

I did some research and internet tests for the D&D alignment, to find out where I stand.

I went in expecting Chaotic/neutral good, but over the course of several tests it was always in the same range: Lawful Neutral, with Good tendencies.

Turns out, Lawful doesn't necessarily mean "the law", but includes personal codes of ethics, morality, and conduct. So with that in mind, it makes more sense.

As a normal person I really only get the chance to act out my kindness and empathy. But as games (board or video) tend to want to put us in unusual situations to find out our true nature, I have more opportunity to show the side of me that is less concerned with doing what feels good, and more concerned with what I believe is right (regardless of how I or anyone else may feel).

Those choices are mostly about the survival and well-being of as many people as possible, friend or foe (though friends get a slight priority), along with choices that I believe will result in long-term harmony and intellectual advancement for society (without compromising the life,health, and personal freedom of individuals). Hypothetically, at least.

You've laid that out really confusingly btw. SHould go:

LG
NG
CG

LN
NN
CN

LE
NE
CE

Just a handy pointer

 

[Techno Squidgy]

According to the quiz posted here, I fall under chaotic good.
Seems about right. I tend to do what I think is the right thing, rather than what others tell me is the right thing.

 

[Guffe]

I went with Lawful Good.
I think that's me, not sure thou.

 

[Xanadu84]

Neutral Good All the way. In the larger, prisoners dilemma sense, it is the most efficient to be good. And both chaos AND law, when followed strictly, are nothing but arbitrary bindings that eliminate possible choices in how to be good. Laws are generally followed because they are good without any unnatural attachment to them that would force you to follow the bad ones. Breaking the rules can be for the greater good, but unless you approach it from a neutral perspective, it is nothing more then arbitrary destruction a good portion of the time. And most importantly, if the situation requires it, neutral good can mimic ANY alignment for the sake of ultimate good.

If a bad guy is taken prisoner and is not afraid of pain, and has important information, the lawful good person will threaten, and the bad guy will know that he will never actually kill him. A chaotic good person will threaten and actually kill the person, loseing valuable information. A neutral good person will put a single round in a revolver, spin the chamber, ask for the information, and every time they don't answer, pull the trigger. Neutral Good can marry both the rational effectivenesss of Lawful with the unpredictability of chaotic.

 

[DustyDrB]

Neutral Good, as seems to be the most common. I don't really care about the law, but I generally follow it. It would likely lead to a big inconvenience if I didn't, so there's the Neutral. But I do believe in treating people with decency, so there's the Good. And yeah, I'd definitely break the law to save someone I care for.

 

[keideki]

Why is this not an option?

if it was I would choose this.

 

[RipRoaringWaterfowl]

I'll help you, but it might get a bit dirty.

 

[Richardplex]

According to my own thoughts and that guide, Neutral. Don't screw others over, and expect not to be screwed over. Don't go out of my way to help others, and I don't expect others to do so for me.

 

[orangeban]

Lawful good, I'm frightfully dull. I mean, I would relish in toppling the system, but I'd want to do it legally.

 

[SomeBrianDude]

Chaotic good all the way. I follow my own 'code', and it doesn't always match up with what's entirely legal. I've been described as surly, but I'll always do what I think is right, not what I'm told is right, and go out of my way to help. I don't like seeing people being pushed around, and have gotten into more than my share of scraps because of this (seriously, it was never a good idea to steal a kid's football when I was around).

 

[Chunga the Great]

Neutral. Kind of disappointing.

 

[(sic) humor]

Hmm...probably Lawful Neutral. I don't bother people who don't bother me. I'm quite content in my own orderly little world, and while I don't agree with all rules, I agree that there should be rules.

I used to think it was a boring alignment, but it suits me.

 

[Helmholtz Watson]

True neutral. Some political actives I strongly support, while others don't really seem to interest me like they do for other people.

....wait, is that true neutral, or is that chaotic neutral?

 

[Shadow flame master]

Apparently I'm True Neutral. I guess it makes sense.

Whenever I kill steal and someone does it to me, I'm like "whatever", and then kill someone else.

I don't expect people to be nice to me if I wasn't to them.

 

[Spartan Altego]

Chaotic Good all the way. As Planescape: Torment put it, I'm an individualist with a significant tendency towards doing good. The law's good as far as I'm concerned, but I won't let it stop me from doing what's right.

 

[Shadowsetzer]

I picked Neutral Good on the quiz, but WotC's quiz pegs me as Neutral. I guess pick whichever you think is more likely?
