This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: James Gillen;843455Well, unlike (say) Joffrey, Ramsay is competent.

JG

In an insane kind of way, yes.  Certainly MORE competent than Joffrey, who was completely incompetent.

Regardless of what the alignments are supposed to mean, I've come to my own conclusion of what they represent based on how players play them throughout the years:

Lawful Good: "I'm going to roleplay this character like he has a stick right up his butt"
Neutral Good: "I'm just this guy, y'know?"
Chaotic Good: "I'm a psycho murder hobo, but I only murderize evil things."
True Neutral: "I don't know what's going on"
Lawful Evil: "I'm a passive-aggressive bastard"
Neutral Evil: "I'll pretty much do what I want, but I wont disrupt the game or start fights in the group"
Chaotic Evil: "My character is stupid-insane"

I would say Norman Osborne. Not the Green Goblin personality, obviously, that side is CE. He is your quintessential selfish corporate raider and scumbag who uses the law when it benefits him but will break in a heartbeat to get what he wants. Corporations in general are a fine example of NE imo.

Quote from: GreyICE;841998Simon Gruber from Die Hard 3.

The terrorist looking to crash the US economy, the bomb threats, all these ridiculous pretensions.  He's just looking to cash out an enormous paycheck.  It's the only thing he truly cares about.

The original Gruber of the first movie, as well, for much the same reasons.

Fair enough...

Lawful Neutral: "I'm the ultimate conformist"
Chaotic Neutral: "I'm with stupid"
