[QUOTE="Kordeth, post: 4234314, member: 5036"] It's not a track, it's a quincunx. Picture Unaligned in the middle--you don't care strongly enough about the ideological concepts of "good" or "evil" to pick a side. That doesn't mean you're neutral or apathetic necessarily, just that you don't care to align yourself with either "faction," if you will. To the right are [i]two[/i] branches: Good and Lawful Good. Both are allied with the ideological concept of "good," but approach it through different avenues. Neither one is "more good" or "less good" than the other, both are equally "good." To the left are the same two branches leading to Evil and Chaotic Evil. Same definitions as above, just reversed. Personally, I think the reason people are confused is because of the fact that one branch on each "side" is simply called Good or Evil. The system becomes much easier to grasp if you replace the Good alignment with, say, "Individual Good" and label Individual Good and Lawful Good as the "good" alignments, and, I don't know, "Personal Evil" and Chaotic Evil" as the "evil" alignments.
