I cannot even remember the last time people told me in a game that Alignment is some auto pilot script for a players morality. It just has literally never been that way in my games.Yeah, perhaps. but you have to understand basic human behavior. If you tell the masses that a rule = X, then it should not be a surprise to see most players act like rule = x, and it doesn't necessarily mean they are doing it wrong. They are doing it based on the expectations the game told them to do.
If the game defines lawful good as X, and a player is lawful good, then you should expect people to assume other players will try to keep that PC's behavior to X. That's what rules and guidelines are.
When you define something as a default, you should expect people to treat it like the norm, and it's not "wrong" their part to do so.
It honestly bewilders me that players forget they are PEOPLE and people act 'out of character' literally all the time.
