[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 8533655, member: 6667921"] Looks like the majority prefers to use alignments. Case closed. :cool: [ATTACH type="full"]151177[/ATTACH] Or let's continue bickering like its 2002 again. Just a few things to keep in mind, though: [LIST=1] [*]If you're using words like "[I]repressed[/I]", "[I]freedom[/I]", or "[I]autocracy[/I]" to strengthen your case for something as trivial as a [U]roleplaying game[/U], then your argument was already weak. This just makes it weaker. [*]Characters don't choose their players. If you think they do, then you may have more serious issues to address. [*]D&D isn't necessarily a co-op game, but it is a social one. That means people, [I]not characters[/I], need to find common ground and get along for the benefit of the group. You know, like most mature adults. [*]Alignment has always, and will forever be, a part of the D&D game. But like everything else in the game, you can choose to ignore it or change it however you see fit. [*]If you think you know somebody because they use option A or play with rule B, that says more about you than what you want to say about your ideal character for a game that you feel was created entirely for you. [/LIST] And if someone takes offense to any of these, just call it a receipt. I've already taken offense from several comments in this thread. And this discussion has run its expected course.
