Message: <blockquote data-quote="ARandomGod" data-source="post: 2165299" data-attributes="member: 17296">I say yes, it's above good and evil... But no, not a code which espouses survival over morality... (Although I do see that as fitting either in NN or NE, depending on it's strength and particulars)  At least, the capital letter True Neutral is. The ones espousing balance in all things. Some amount of evil is needed in the world. You can't have a back without a front, and you cannot have good without evil. People who would take away evil would either become that evil themselves (fanatics), or if they somehow manage to avoid that trap and succeeded in their plans, would quickly find that they had simultaniously taken away all good. I think it's interesting that, in general (in the poll so far) most people are agreeing that neutral is superior over law and chaos (those who took a side at all). However good and neutral are tied at the moment. But good is a relative term. And in it's own way is as restrictive and full of potential conflicts as Law is.  I happen to know for a fact that some of the things some people would consider to be good I personally think of as the definition of evil. And some things that I view as good other people are just a little horrified that I'd think at all. And that's honest, I really DO think this thing is good, and I really am appalled (and slightly disgusted) that someone could think that other opinion would be considered anything but evil.So. That leads to the further subquestion. If Neutral Good is the most intellectually superior, can it be MY NG, or must it be theirs? Because I consider them to be NE.I say that the none arguement means one of several things:1) I don't care to think about it2) I can't envision the difference3) I don't know4) I have an opinion which doesn't fit under the above, or that I'm unwilling to attempt to quantify.Or, and I say this as a proponent of the Neutral Neutral position, they mean True Neutral. Because under one set of definitions they're identical positions.To further this point I give a small excerpt from one 'none' opinion ( I think that the whole post supports True Neutral, just was unwilling to see itself that way )Really, that either IS true neutral, or it's a statement that the poster can't intellectually concieve of the concept.</blockquote>
