He / Him
Thanks for the constructive reply!I really enjoy alignment in my games and this sounds fun, with one exception. I don't like the idea of being "forced" to conform to the groups expectations if they don't feel the RP is adequate. I prefer to leave that to the player and GM. Its pretty rare I find that someone seems acting out of alignment. For example, a good character who resorts to wanton murder and never cares about anybody in the fallout is not going to remain good. I do enjoy the discussions very much at the table about characters and NPCs though.
Yeah, I see this as more an opportunity for a roleplaying challenge, or a collaborative approach towards alignment rather than a straightjacket. For example, if a player has in mind a Lawful Good paladin, but the other players see him as more Lawful Neutral, it could provide an interesting opportunity to lean in more towards that Neutrality, or to look for more chances to show the Good side.
Ultimately, I think the best way to go about this would be to not have an alignment in mind, and just play your character how you want. The voting would just be an interesting assessment of how others see your character!
