My behavior in EVE lacks any consistency but irl I see myself as somewhere in the spectrum between lawful neutral and lawful good.

My views on law as the foundation of the republic are strongly lawful neutral but in my actions I aspire to be lawful good.

Lawful good, with a chaotic neutral side now and then.

it's curious because most people I meet in real-life don't seem to be lawful at all, they usually tell me that lawfulness is cruel and inhuman.

("lawful good" is of course mediated lawfulness but still ... pretty interesting imo. Either the lawless universe of EVE in general and MD in particular somehow attracts the unusually lawful or the experience of that universe makes people recognize the value of law.)

One of the reasons why I started this thread was exactly this: to find out the odd answers.
Of course this is a biased "poll", in fact how many are ready to say "chaotic evil"? There's a society induced "need to appear a good guy" plus it's not like we'll get a lot of scammers and similar come here and say it in public.

Anyway I think I am really what I think to be, I tend to want to be "one of the good guys" and usually hurt myself a lot to bring ahead some quixotical ideal in the Name of Right.
I went so far to leave some RL well paid jobs because my superiors and / or the boss proved to be unfair with /cheat their customers or to work for less than top delivered quality for the amount requested. I am a hopeless case

RL - CN but heading CG as I age.

IG - CN and likely to stay that way.

I would say any judgment of alignment is relative to the group you are interacting with, as well. I would be a bright shining LG in regards to family and friends that I consider such. I may appear NG to co-workers, etc.

Just a normal complex human being, I think.



This is really the problem with the question and the notion of a single moral view-point. Context and relativity are everything and that tends to lead to a complex system of moral v iews that don't fit with single-track analyses of how one would act in a given, context independent, situation.

@Arabella - seriously evil But would that be a lawful evil thing to do, given its manipulation and exploitation of law? Or would it be chaotic evil in its subversion of the legal system?

Alignment is much more complex than the D&D system and quite a bit of it is contextual too.

The idea that "Each person should have a right to elect their government" is pretty universal in most of Europe and America today (and certainly is universally held by people that are LG or LN). But that was a fringe chaotic good idea in much of the 19th century, and the lawful neutral thing to do then when you encountered someone espousing that idea would have been to report this 'seditious Chartist traitor' to the authorities.

I stated before that IRL I'm chaotic good (and the chaotic is stronger than the good). That does not mean that I won't use lawful means from time to time - if I'm working and discover an unsafe maintenance condition on an aircraft, I won't get it fixed the 'chaotic' way of telling the pilot's union and getting them to strike over it, I'll do it the 'lawful' way by getting inspectors from the local equivalent of the FAA/EASA to ground the plane.

Don't judge alignment by individual actions. Judge it by the principles you live your life by. Some of your actions won't fit this but most will.

Chaotic Good. The rest of you are a bunch of evil people.

I'm surprised that your judge allows this. The punishment should always be in relation to the guilt. If you just go for the max sentence it would be a gross error of law and would give grounds for appeal.

Did the 36 question alignment test only



many of the questions omitted crucial details and circumstances that my answers would heavily depend on, so the test felt pretty useless.
