Lawful neutral: We give it to the sheriff and let her deal with it.
Lawful Evil: We all know what the punishment is. Let's just be done with it (draws sword).

LG: The law and people are inherently good, and must be protected.
LN: The law is all that matters, people will be what people are but the law itself must stand above all.

CG: Laws are a means to subjugate people, and the people must be protected from the laws when necessary.
CN: Laws are a means to control that which can never really be controlled anyways, so do as you please.

NG: Always protect people and be prepared to stand against kings or criminals because both could seek to do them harm at any given time.
NE: I’ll follow whomever until it no longer benefits me.
TN: I don’t want to hurt anyone necessarily but look, man…it’s all artificial. What’s good to these people is bad to those over there. Who’s right? I don’t know - it’s all a matter of perspective.

[MechaTarrasque]

I treat acts as having alignment (think of your soul as having 9 sacks, and the sacks you fill up the most are more useful in the afterlife). This tends to focus on the combat aspect of D&D.

LG: You feel bad about hurting something (or good about helping them), and the act shows conformity to a standard
NG: You feel bad about hurting something (or good about helping them), but you don't want anyone to think too much about the act
CG: You feel bad about hurting something (or good about helping them), and the act defies conformity to a standard (defying conformity is more important to you than quietly conforming to a different standard)
LN: You don't have strong feelings about hurting or helping something, and the act shows conformity to a standard
N: You don't have strong feelings about hurting or helping something, but you don't want anyone to think too much about the act
CN: You don't have strong feelings about hurting or helping something, and the act defies conformity to a standard (defying conformity is more important to you than quietly conforming to a different standard)
LE: You enjoy hurting something (or feel bad about helping something), and the act shows conformity to a standard
NE: You enjoy hurting something (or feel bad about helping something), but you don't want anyone to think too much about the act
CE: You enjoy hurting something (or feel bad about helping something), and the act defies conformity to a standard; those with a tendency toward CE often seek infamy.
