Well in Eve terms I'd consider myself lawful evil. So, yes.

All the market sharks are lawful good?

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.)


It's context dependent. The MD loans market relies entirely on its participants adhering scrupulously to a form of 'contract law' and there are almost no examples of occasions when it would be 'good' to break one's word and dishonor the contract. Within this particular environment goodness and lawfulness are closely identified. But if you move out into other areas of the game, or even if you draw MD in as a sub-part of a wider game context, where interests other than the successful operation of the market are at play, then law and good rapidly detach from one another. It's unsurprising that quite a few people who run loans and related business identify as lawful in an MD context because that does describe their behavior here. So, to some extent it is a case of the experience of this particular corner of the eve universe making people recognise the value of law (in this context at least).

There are two types of EVE player:

those who believe there are two types of EVE player and those who do not.

Goons operate in quite a tight framework of 'laws' internally. Just because they don't buy into other systems of rules doesn't make them chaotic. Look at their internal cohesion and political structure; it is not a chaotic organisation and, if anything, goes towards the scary extreme of law and order.

I always found lawful evil the hardest alignment to play.

I ~get it, but I always found the application troublesome. I found it sort of presumes a pre-existing position of power from which to exercise your alignment, which i guess works for Goon Overlords.

Also, nerdiest discussion ever.

Chaotic Neutral, which I can completely see both in game and IRL.

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

Pretty much this, yes. Within the greater framework of the universe it would be easy to take us as an organization to be CE but it's anything but the case.

True Neutral.

I believe in balance. Life is the meeting of opposite extremes. So to preserve that balance I do whatever I have to, up to and including switching sides to help whomever is the underdog at the moment.

The aforementioned test resulted in lawful neutral for me, although for some questions I had to pick a choice which didn't fit.

I only played D&D a few times in my youth, so I'm not too familiar with this alignment thing. From the "sound" of it I'd describe myself as somewhere between chaotic and lawful good. That's both ingame and IRL.

I think IRL I'm Neutral Good with some lawful tendencies. I try to help out whenever possible, and obey the law, but good is the overriding factor to law.

In game, I'm LN. I obey the laws and hunt those who violate them, even if it betrays my standings (I'm a Gallente flying a Caldari ship for Minmatar missions in Amarr space - I'm confused).

In terms of DnD, I love playing the antithesis of my natural tendencies. LE is just such a fun alignment to play, even without a power structure. You're the kind of person everybody loves to hate. In one event, I even turned a Paladin into a Blackguard due to my explanation of my actions.
