What kind of person are you, and what kind of person would you like to be? What would be your worst weakness and your most horrid nightmare? WHAT IS YOUR REAL LIFE ALIGNMENT!?

I agree! No offence Dark_Lord, but I think this topic is irrelvant here and is on too much of a personal level which may make people feel uneasy. |

I think it is a topic worthy of discussion - so long as everyone can be honest...
I would describe myself as a Chaotic Good alignment - normally go out of my way to help other people etc but generally don't give a d**n abt rules...I used to be more on the Lawful side of things but have changed my views quite a bit recently.

| Once, when I was very little, when I still believed in goodness and justice on this world, I was Lawful Good. I wanted to help everyone, to be their guidance and example... Now, the things have changed. As I grow older and figure out faster, I changed my personality from caring, cheerful little boy, to a hateful, arrogant kind of a person. I’m not shunned to say, I am lawful evil alignment. I don’t believe in goodness and people anymore. I don’t believe in love. I don’t believe in light. I hate when someone speaks of his intelligence and wisdom, but in his stupidity he is not able see farther from his nose. I lost my will to help from the point I figured out no one is helping me… But that’s not the only reason. Most of the people you have seen and you will see are total idiots with zero chance of becoming anything that looks like important, in their pathetic little lives. They all took the role of passive observers and do nothing, even if it’s at the grasp of their hands. Eighty percent of people are acting like that, and if this is humanity we glorify so much I would rather live on Mars. Obviously, they need someone to lead them, to support them all the time. I’m not going to take part in it, even if that would mean disrespect from their side, from the side I don’t appreciate at all. |

| I think I would call myself a neutral good person. I'm good, but if there's a law I think is injust, I will not obey it. |

I would have to place myself somewhere between Neutral Good and Chaotic Good.
I believe that kindness and compassion are the foremost virtues in life. I believe that laws are designed to keep those with no moral compass in line and to keep them from harming each other. Therefore I feel their signifigance is minimal with regards to me...
I have my own code and I follow it faithfully and I do not feel overly compelled to follow the laws of society, (mostly since I feel the people who wrote the laws rarely have sufficient insight and character for them to be of concern).
Note that my own code nearly always precludes any run-ins with the law since I believe in doing the right thing no matter how unpleasant. Some would say my code makes me Lawful Good but not necessarily since doing the "right" thing sometimes is unfortunate to one person or another, and sometimes is unlawful in the eyes of society.
Just a note to Dark_Lord who started this mess.... It is people like you who make the world the unhappy place it is. If you are so convinced of your superiority to the masses I would suggest that you prove it by being better than them. Taking the hard path instead of hiding and saying "it's not my problem". It is so easy to hide and mind your own business, not so easy to help even if you don't believe the person you are helping is intelligent to understand the scope of what you are doing. If you complain about something and don't do anything to change it....well what is so smart about that? But if you can muster your courage and find the strength to do something to help someone who needs it, perhaps you can spare them the pain that you have suffered and understand so well.
Those of us who have been thru pain and hardship understand moreso than anyone how much the actions of a caring individual CAN change the world, one person at a time. If someone had helped you and been kind to you in your time of need, you might be a happier person and your quality of life might be better, not to mention the fact that you might be more inclined to help someone in need.
Now imagine this, say you help someone who was about to become jaded and "burnt out", renewing their faith in some kind of goodness in people. That person will be more inclined to do kindnesses to others based on that outlook. If you can rise above your bitterness, IF (and only if) you have the strength. You can spare some kind compassionate child the experiences that you went thru that changed you from being that way.
This is not a "flame" just a thought and a challenge to you to rise above your pain and "do something positive" and make a difference in your part of the world.

Ok my friends tell me that I`m lawful neutral
I know I`ve been through some hard times but I wasn`t my best friend and I went through the same crap, being made fun of becuse of our belifes and how we acted and so on, but we helped one another through it, and I like to help my other friends by telling them to ignor them.
besides people who do stupid things like make fun of others are only doing it so they can make themself feel and look bigger and better then they really are. Most of the people like that are quit weak and need to make others feel weaker then them. So I just let things like that slid or I just tell the person "Thanks you made my day. Ilove you too." Cause most of the time the things they say are things I hear all the time. So ya, that`s my thing.

Ah ha, confession time, eh? Just one quick question. Wasn't this locked?
Anyways, I would have to say I'm more than likely Chaotic Good. I would like to think I am a good person. Although I do tend to go out of my way to be mean every now and then. To most people I say, who cares. I remain in my closely knit group of friends and have little desire to expand my friendships. I generally stick to threats and words (unless theres a physical fight, which I do tend to enjoy). I value friendship a whole lot and tend to do whatever it takes to protect thows I care about.
Well, the more I talk the more I seem to sound of the evil alignment eh? Oh well, thats how I see myself. What alignment would you guys say I sound like. |

Yes, and i would have prefered it locked!
It's nothing in concern withe forgotten relams, and not even role playing.
Furthermore, dark lord, i think you edited that topic not to write to our answers but just to be able to post yours! |

Well Met
Easy scribes, easy! This is what I feared by allowing this topic to continue. Peoplee can easily take offense at knowing the true nature of others, and thats why I initially locked this topic. Please keep this civil and remember that people are very different and hold much different and varied values in life.

I expected something like this to pop up…
Here is my answer:
I’m a person imbued with positive feelings and love for life. Nothing can stop my joyful temper and my everlasting energy. There is no obstacle I can not pass, nor darkness that can annoy me… What should I say? I am a very happy person with knowledge of how to live. I KNOW that there is no alignment that can define my positive personality…
No role playing, eh?

Chaotic Neutral.
Neutral: I do not concern myself with the notion of good and evil. It is all a matter of opinions. Nothing is black or white, in my opinion.
Chaotic: I depend a lot on myself and I rarely respect authorities. I dislike rules and laws although I do respect them.

Well, ask anyone who knows me, I'm Chaotic Evil I would have to say!
Hell I'd even kill some people if I knew I could get away with it, ask Drummerboy, he knows.

| I would probably put myself under chaotic nuetral but depending on my mood i would then change to chaotic evil so i am a range between the two. |
Some believe there is something more after death, if you really want to find out... go kill yourself and stop pestering me. |

| Nuetral. In the skeptic's sense, not the relativist sense. I tend to be very pragmatic but there are some things I wouldn't do regardless of the situation, and other things I would do only under certain circumstances. |

| I asked a friend this question about me and I tend to agree with her. I think I'm somewhere along the lines of Chaotic Good through Lawful Good. I guess it just depends on my attitude and my moods. Most of the time I'm a goody goody. (ask all of my friends...they'll tell you the same thing.... ). Though there are times when i do silently rebel though it isn't often. |

| Yes Sandonayerah is a goody goody to much of one for my taste thats for sure. But ya thats me....like I said my freinds *pokes Sandonayerah* say I`m Lawful Nuetral but I tend to think of myself as just nuetral then its just a choose between who pays the most. |
I`m not lost, my dreams are.
I am one of those people who go through life unseen, but I don`t think of it as a bad thing, no I think of it as an opportunity |

First of all, listen to Alaundo, people. Calm down. If you don't want to say, don't post. If you don't want to know, don't read. It's as simple as that.
Second, this is relevant to role-playing. It's an attempt to define ourselves within a role-play, and so understand more about ourselves and each other, both as players and as people. I find absolutely nothing wrong or offensive about this. Lighten up, will you?
By the way, I would have to say I'm chaotic good. In MANY senses of the term. |

Chaotic Good with some Lawfull in me...
I think i was once was more Lawfull / Neutral good, something to good i think, cleaning the nature, be good and so on... But over the years I'm growing more Chaotic, more anarchistic more against people, and planning my own planes...
Now i'm a kinda Chaotic Good Ranger, I don't have so many friends and havn't had many friends in my live, so I know how to live on my own, and not to walk behind people...
A other friend of mine is thinking himself about chaotic good to, and a other friend of my is more chaotic neutral...
Oh yeah and somethimes i'm growing more in evil than in good...  |
Once the Menzoberrenzan Drow run away from the Drow Practices in other cities. Then they settled Menzoberrenzan, and prayed to there evil and mad godess Lolth, the Spider Queen. Then they turned the same way has there far away cousins (isn't that ironic)

True neutral I m.
Everything makes sense if there is a logic behind it.
Emotions are weakness and there is no place for stupidity.
No evil and No good for me, no law and chaos either.
Every act has a purpose and nothing is stable but the course of absolute change. |
