[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3254018, member: 22424"] Assuming that that is the pattern of your life: Evil, but very close to Neutrality. #1 and #4 are clear Evils, #3 is a clear Good (albeit one without risk or sacrifice), and #2 is an Evil mitigated heavily by five lives saved. The character gets some points for obviously Good intentions, but alignment is almost entirely determined by actions, and here the Evil outweighs the Good. However, it is worth noting that three of the four are extreme cases, and unlikely to all be met by the same person. As such, it is highly unlikely that this [I]would[/I] be the pattern of your life. And, since alignment is determined by actions, merely ticking the 'Yes' box on our alignment survey doesn't shift you to Evil - you have to actually do these things. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, unless and until you're really in the situation, it's hard to be certain how you would actually respond. You might claim to be ready to kill Baby Hitler, but once you're standing over the crib, gun in hand, you might come to think differently. Or not. Furthermore, even if a single person somehow did meet all four situations, and did act as indicated, there is still the other 99%+ of his life to consider, which would usually be far less eventful. So, I wouldn't be remotely surprised to find that the vast majority of people who fell into the 'Yes to all' category were actually Good, albeit a flawed and imperfect Good. [/QUOTE]
