Not to mention, he was shot with a magic bullet and only D&D players have those.

I arrived breech in 1970.

I had just reasoned it out. Personally I have no interest in creating artworks in person or on a computer. The only reason I pulled it up like I did was that people were constantly telling me that it couldn't be done, so I took a few minutes to prove that it could be. The way you describe...

Not CG. CN and CE absolutely. The game has treated the CG alignment much more fairly.

So LE. Replacing one evil system with your evil system is still.........................LE.

That's fine. I'm just going by how the game puts it. You're free to run it any way you like and reject whatever parts of the game you want to. I just peeked at 4e's CE alignment and it's even worse when it comes to CE being an alignment of insanity. So every edition treats as an insane and...

There's nothing contradictory about them, so you pick I guess. False Dichotomies are false. Third option! The outputs are created by the programmer with the exception of bugs that are unintended and fixed when possible. Just because you can find the rare bug doesn't make the millions of...

You misread what I said. I didn't say that ONLY those people were CE. I said that they were the only ones listed in the post I quoted. Big difference there. ;) I think they are insane. CE and CN are two alignments of insanity. Look at the prime examples of CE. Thanos. The Joker. The...

Baldur's Gate doesn't happen just because I input some things. It happens because the programmers created it to produce all of the possible outputs based on all of the possible inputs. There's nothing I input that produces output that they didn't program and intent to happen. Other than...

I'm in the former group. I'm still watching Campaign 4, but slowly. I really like how Brennan embraces DM fiat to improve the game. That's how fiat is done well(and how I use it). However, he's a bit too narrative for me overall.

Me: It doesn't have to be all the time. You: but it doesn't have to be ALL THE TIME. Well, yeah. I didn't say it did. But if they aren't chaotic evil(ruled by whim and emotion) most of the time, they aren't chaotic evil. They are some other evil with a chaotic stripe. Freedom fighters are...

Very little is 100% and outside of something like a demon and I'm not saying it should be, but "smart" play wouldn't have a PC be ruled by whim or emotion even as high 25% of the time. And if your CE PC is avoiding being CE 75%+ of the time, he isn't CE. He's LE or NE with a small streak of C...

That may be, but it is what the game has written. You're free to re-define it for your game and use it differently.

They do have self-preservation. If you know someone or multiple people are stronger and will kill you, you probably don't do it. I say probably, because they are also often ruled by emotion and that will sometimes translate into not playing it safe or not caring. They are just typically not...

This is in direct contradiction to every edition's alignment description of CE except maybe 4e. What you're describing is the opposite of acting on whims and/or driven by emotion. What keeps CE in check is being stronger than the CE individual and the CE individual is aware that he is weaker.
