I thought you just said that these people knew how to write and did not write the rules inconsistently, incompetently or in a grammatically incorrect way.But realistically, how many people decide "I'd like to lose all my class abilities"? Okay. I am now done with this thread. You have finally admitted that you are not willing to discuss how the rules cause people to play the game. Thank you for this admission. I can now leave. I'm afraid your assertion that alignment can be predictive without predisposition will have to go unaddressed.Well, I was trying to have a discussion that was premised on people playing the game as rational actors, a discussion that was about understanding what happens with the alignment mechanic 99.9999% of the time. A discussion that consistently snags on "what if people feel like deliberately hobbling their characters for no reason?" and "what about that one demon in a million who is lawful good?" is not one I want to be part of. I've had a good time on much of this thread and gained some valuable insights and new tricks for running the alignment system effectively. Thank you all for responding to my original post and putting so much time and thought into your messages.</blockquote>
