[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 357043, member: 4937"] Samothdm: I love your interpretation of the Peanuts gang. Excellent choice of material, as the Peanuts were always about philosophy. I think that for the most part, your assigned alignments are spot on, but in one category I'm mystified. Why did you place Lucy and Sally among the lawful neutrals? Your evidence for this seems to be that they are primarily self interested, which they certainly are, but I don't see how it follows that they are lawful. Are you suggesting either a) that egotism is a neutral trait, and law/chaos is a personality trait like neatness? or b) that egotism is lawful trait? Is Patty chaotic because she lives in a self centered universe, or is that the reason you say she borders on chaotic neutrality? Etc. I would tend to see Lucy and Sally as being Chaotic Nuetrals. Actually, very young children like Sally usually don't have alignments and we might be best with Neutral, but Sally does seem to play foil to Charlie's lawfulness quite often.
