[QUOTE="Berk, post: 699899, member: 5992"] I never said anything about might makes right or that you should commit evil acts if you have a "good reason". And yes, the acts themselves are the definition of whether something is good or evil. But we were talking morality, because that is what judges if something is evil or good. To be moral is to have standards, if one has those standards then they are moral. Alignment is just a set of those standards. What is wrong to good isn't to evil and so forth. Most people I feel interpret alignment far more then they should. Yes alignments such as good and evil represent the greater forces of good and evil in the cosmos but then again, they really don't. How many times have we seen, in real world history and in fantasy, evil (bad) guys go good, and good guys go bad. It is just a changing of moral standards. And those moral standards are what alignment represent. I am willing to forgo a lot more of my rant about this for the sake of saving the thread from a political nightmare that I would most likely create. [/QUOTE]
