[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5920346, member: 42582"] This is all interesting stuff. In my own work (I'm an academic lawyer and political philosopher) I'm interested in the place of conservatism in modernity. (Heavily influenced in this respect by Raymond Williams' "Culture and Society".) But I think it shows that alignment is not very helpful. This is all good stuff, and I'd give you XP but my XP button seems to be disabled. But it seems to me that all the work is being done by your substantive analysis. The alignment labels aren't helping tell us anything - they're slightly gerrymandered afterthoughts. Hence my contention - let's drop alignment and just think about what's going on using our ordinary (and rich, and as you've shown sometimes conflicted) moral vocabulary. And also, in my view, if the players care about this stuff it can be left to them. And if they don't, it won't improved anything for the GM to get involved in a didactic or dictatorial manner.
