But it strikes me as a little too philosophical for use in D&D (perhaps in Mage, though...). Mostly, I think players want to kill things and take their stuff, and not worry overly about their 'cognitive sophistication'.I disagree with your relationships, mostly because I peg Roslin, Adama, and Picard as all being Lawful Good. In the specific example of the Roslin/Adama election issue (since it's fresher in my memory), the decision to let the election slip was most definately the Lawful one, and probably the Good one.There was no evidence that Baltar was actually a Cylon collaborator (and, in fact, he was not at the time he was seen by Roslin - he was duped, and only became a collaborator later). There was no way of knowing that setting on New Caprica would lead to a disaster.And, the will of the people was clear. Roslin and Adama didn't like it, were sure it was a mistake (and, in point of fact, were correct), but the point remained that if they had stolen the election they would have done irrepairable damage to their society, turning it from a democracy into an unelected dictatorship backed by military power. (Not to mention that Zarek knew the election was rigged, and could and would have brought the whole affair down. Three people can keep a secret only if two of them are dead... and there were way more than three people in on it.)All in all, although it turned out badly, the decision was the right one, and made for entirely the right reasons.</blockquote>
