You may want to play a "might makes right" kind of game, but that doesn't mean that you aren't evil.The alignment system is supposed to proviede a check on the murderous rampages of the players, to prevent them from wantonly killing peasants, city watchmen, and merchants. Saying "those merchants better be polite because we'll kill them otherwise" basically tags the PCs as being on the "evil" end of that spectrum, with all the attendant negative consequences such a choice might incur.</blockquote>
