D&D General Alignments in a sentence/phrase/whatever

[Reynard]

NOTE: This is NOT a thread to argue about alignment in general, whether is is good or bad or stupid or neat. It is also not a place to argue about real world ethics and morality.

What it IS is a thread where we express our personal views of what each alignment means in a (hopefully fun and pithy) single sentence or phrase or song title or whatever.

So, with that out of the way, here is my list:

Lawful Good: Right is might.
Lawful neutral: Unity is strength.
Lawful Evil: Dissent is weakness.
Neutral Good: Right is right, no matter what the law says.
Neutral: Whatever, man.
Neutral Evil: Always look out for Number 1.
Chaotic Good: Do what thou will, let it harm none.
Chaotic Neutral: Possession is 9/10 of the law.
Chaotic Evil: Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Oh man, this is a good thread but sooooo should have been a +.

imma go with quotes.

Lawful Good: "One for all, and all for one!"
Lawful Neutral: "No one is above the law, and no one is below it; nor do we ask any one's permission when we require they to obey it."
Lawful Evil: "There's no place for me there... any more than there is for you. ... I'm a monster."
Neutral Good: "If you can't pay it back, pay it forward."
Neutral: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"
Neutral Evil: "I was afraid...I'd eat your brains..."
Chaotic Good: "I fight against a tyrant who holds you under his boot! If you would be free people, then you must fight!"
Chaotic Neutral: "The fact that you can remember yesterday but not tomorrow is because of entropy."
Chaotic Evil: "They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Lawful Good: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one"
Lawful Neutral: "Sign here... and here ... and here. And here's your copy."
Lawful Evil: "Fear - fear will keep them in line"
Neutral Good: "Legal or not, I can't just stand on the sidelines and let this happen - it's wrong and you know it."
Neutral: "That is the way of things"
Neutral Evil: "What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot more to me alive."
Chaotic Good: "Look sister, I ain't in it for your rebellion. I'm doing this for one person - me!"
Chaotic Neutral: "Sorry, I wasn't listening - too busy thinking whether I should burn the place down or not just to shut you up"
Chaotic Evil: "First, I kill you..."

Chaotic Good: "Look sister, I ain't in it for your rebellion. I'm doing this for one person - me!"

This feels more CN to me.

This feels more CN to me.

Agreed, and with "The needs of the One outweigh the needs of the Many" as CG. Otherwise brilliant set of quotes!

 

[GuardianLurker]

This is getting harder, as many of the obvious stances have already been used.

LG: The Law Protects.
LN: Obey the Law.
LE: The law serves my needs.
NG: There is Good, and there is Evil. It's not hard to tell them apart.
N: Not my circus, not my monkey, not my problem.
NE: My needs matter, yours don't
CG: Very little, if anything, can justify depriving a person of their freedom.
CN: I will not be constrained - by your morals or your laws.
CE: Only my will matters, only I am real.

Ivan Drago (lawful evil): "If he dies, he dies."

James Hetfield (chaotic evil): "Am I evil? Yes I am."

Because I like it when people are actually creative.
