I feel that a good party -most of the time- are out for the "greater good" and look out for each other because they genuinely care about each other and some members even die to protect the rest. I don't see that happening in an evil group, they are mostly out for themselves when it comes down to a life or death situation, I've never seen an evil character in any book/movie/RPG or anywhere else offer to selflessly lay down his life so that his companions could get away safely and and live another day. You see think kind of act very often in a good character. I totally agree that to keep an evil party together they need a really good reason to do so, they need to share common goals/motivations and they need to agree to stick together even with their warped sense of honor or keeping their word. We all know that evil tends to break promises much easier than good because to good people/characters that's "wrong," but to evil characters that's more along the lines of "self preservation" and the "me-first" attitude most people seem to portray evil as being, whether in books, movies, or table-top games.</blockquote>
