[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6154879, member: 2067"] While a Chaotic-type might not adhere to a "code" per se, they do have a governing philosophy and pattern of behavior. [URL="http://easydamus.com/chaoticneutral.html"]Like so[/URL]. You can define things that are especially "Chaotic" or not. It's probably not written down and enforced by a hierarchy, but adopted voluntarily. Just because it is strict doesn't mean it's not Chaotic. A Chaotic person would recognize your freedom to not be Chaotic if you don't want to, but they probably wouldn't think you were making the BEST choice, and they'd encourage you to freely choose to be governed by free choice. So it makes sense to talk about being strictly Chaotic, and upholding that as an ideal that one strives to become a paragon of (and can fail to be a paragon of, while still being that alignment). Chaotic can be limiting and confining, because you are forbidden form being orderly and inhibiting change. That's not always easy, and to be a paragon of Chaos is no less strict than to be a paragon of Law. In some ways, even more stringent: "I am bound by my free choice, which is more powerful than any chain of authority, because it is within myself, not external to it." [/QUOTE]
