[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 3338832, member: 11760"] You're misunderstanding me: I'm saying that Dee Snyder isn't Chaotic Neutral, even if he pretends to be a few hours a week. It's like saying that YOU are Chaotic Neutral because your character is. The original question was "Does Chaotic Neutral get a bad rap?" The answer, I think everyone seems to be pretty much agreeing on, is that while it can theoretically be used to create a number of cool characters, for the most part, it's not. Yes, there are great NPCs that have their Alignment As A Cause thing going on. There are arguably some popular fiction characters that are CN. But at the end of the day, when you see CN written on a character sheet, most of the time, it's the guy who doesn't want to roleplay or, even worse, actively enjoys disrupting the game or the group and has discovered a loophole that will let him get away with it longer than he would otherwise.
