Yeah, Rich has shown that he gets the use of alignment in the game...but I think he's missed the boat on the afterlife. Oh well, we can't all be Snoopy. :)

I don't find it so odd, actually. The idea of living virtuously on the mortal plane so you can later enjoy in the afterlife all the things you gave up isn't an uncommon maxim in belief systems. I'd think that even lawful people would be initially tempted to enjoy all that chaotic stuff now that there's no consequences. It's like how even the most fiscally responsible person would probably be sorely tempted to splurge a little if they ever won the lottery.

Plus, as Roy's Archon said, sooner or later people tire of indulging their denied urges and spend the rest of eternity pursuing the stronger inner spiritual needs that made them tend towards Lawful Good behavior on the mortal realm in the first place. But I can understand "getting it out of your system" first.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Eh...I still don't buy it. But, that's opinions are for. :)
