AIEEE!!! CN is not insanity!!!!

[buzzard]

Because they can. Insanity is not the only interpretation of CN, but it is a fairly valid one. Many folks play for escapism, and like that sort of thing.

Of course "that sort of thing" results in people who nobody in their right mind would form a party with. I guess if you had a troop of CN loonies, it might be workable.

Don't suppose you could share any morbid goodness about this?

Well, I don't keep the playtest version I scored handy any more... but as I recall, it was similar to the 2e version, with some explicit statement about erratic behavior in it.

I'll see if I can dig it up, but not tonight, as it is game night.

Political stuff snipped by Piratecat.

On-Topic though, I think it would be more accurate to call Chaotic Neutral not the random psychotic raging dude, but rather a free spirit, unfettered by morals and routines.

Angcuru, I'm gonna echo Buzzard... Would you please edit your message so that this thread doesn't get locked?

Remember, politics are a STRICT no-no here. Just because someone else started it isn't an excuse.

 

[Tsyr]

*OK, I'm still relatively new here, so I'm not sure if politics is really an allowed topic on these boards,*

No. Absolutely not, under no circumstances whatsoever, at all.

You did not remedy the problem at all, particularly when you say "But everyone knows they do" in the same post you say you edited your original (In effect just moving it from one post to another), then you proceed to discuss it more.

Politics = DON'T GO THERE

*period*

Please, lets not get this thread locked, ne?

 

[Hardhead]

No. Absolutely not, under no circumstances whatsoever, at all.

OK. My Post=Edited.

 

[BryonD]

I hardly think it was. I view the fact that people are willing to give their money to people in need through social programs as a stong sign of the innate goodness of human beings.

And if you were talking about that everything would be fine.

But you were not.

Instead of talking about "willing", you were talking about government mandated involuntary programs, and as such were completeing off topic of the thread and completely in the realm of politics. As such, I'll join the chorus requested self editing.

Hardhead, the things you mentioned aren't opposed by many people because the people are ungood or selfish. Most often it's a matter of thinking that there is a better way of doing things.

If you want to pick up the discussion off-boards, my email is in my profile. Only use it if you want to have a rational discussion. If you just want to tell me that no good person would oppose those, end of story, then forget it.

Mods: I tried to keep it "in bounds". If I blew it, feel free to delete this message.

Others: If I offended any, feel free to email me and this post goes bye-bye.

Hangover from 2E, I'd say.

which started with the party in first edition Hong.
I getting high school flash backs.

Nah, I think *most* people are good.

I'm not sure where (1E, probably), but somewhere it says that most people are Neutral, morally. They don't really go too far out of their way to help people, but they don't normally harm people, either. Sure, they get testy when you start threatening their kids or slap around a little-old-lady. They also admire people who help said little-old-lady across the street.

They aren't _actively_ good, though. Even if they're nice guys and drop a couple bucks in the hat as it passes, they're still neutral.
