[QUOTE="Mithreinmaethor, post: 6721449, member: 45267"] I went back and looked at the transcript and you are correct he was not the one we needed to talk to but he was allied with us in the combat at the time the PCs decided to attack him. You are missing the point I was trying to make....the vast majority of people, be they players or DMs, do not have a clue how to deal with or play the LE characters much less, like you and both noted, the CN ones. Hell I will be the 1st to admit I have no clue how to play one either so I choose not to play a character with either of those alignments so as to not impose my ignorance of the intricacies needed to play the alignment. I have seen as in the above example, players attacking allied NPCs, players openly killing captured and incapacitated NPCs/Monsters, players openly torturing captured and incapacitated NPCs/Monsters and players murder noncombatant women and children as well. And as to your unprepared DM etc. You are dealing with a volunteer core of DMs a lot of whom stepped up to run because the need arises. If we only had fully prepared DMs that are well versed with the intricacies of dealing with certain alignments and the players that play them, this living campaign would be dead on arrival. It comes down to people just want to play or DM and the Expedition modules are an easy way for people to get content to play or DM. But it seems the AL Admins assume everyone is well versed in how to deal with the problems some alignments create, and that their rules in a document that it seems not a lot of people even read, are trying to weave far to much intrigue and intricate details into the campaign. These problems have been around for a long time with organized play, so this is nothing new. I was just giving examples of situations I have seen personally. [/QUOTE]
