The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

I got, "I don't eat franchise pizza so I can't take this quiz."

It doesn't actually ask if you eat it. So could pick based on ad quality, politics, or not being near you so you don't have to deal with it?

It's a running joke at my table that "Chaotic Neutral" is the alignment that players should select when they want their character to be targeted by enemy attacks more often than the others. It's not entirely true, but I don't bother to correct them.

I remember someone stating someone's character was "chaotic everywhere" because even if they were in another room, and someone else found a chest, they would be there to open it.

I get the image in my head of them saying "Dude, check it out!" As most of the D&D people I knew from the 70's, were also SCA types, pseudo-hippies. I think later, we more nerdy types took it over. It is oddly mechanistic view, it does sort of match with a lot of medieval stuff, though I am not an expert, so I don't really know.

The Lake Geneva people seem to have been fairly square, from what I have learned over the years, really not hippies in the slightest.

I am an expert on Medieval cosmological stuff, and it is way weirder than the AD&D DMG.

I got neutral good.

Pineapple on pizza = chaotic evil.

Yeah, I got Chaotic Evil. I think you automatically get that if you choose Pineapple as your favorite topping.

Clearly BS, since it says that I am Neutral Good:

Neutral Good means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, a Neutral Good alignment can be dangerous when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.

As Parmandur said, I use it as prompt, not seriously. Though to think of how such a strange, and intricate cosmology grew, it's impressive, though probably they were high, knowing the 70's.

I will say, even though I don't like alignment, my favorite take on it is Matt Colville's explanation of it.

For me, it is a very helpful prompt to help with acting improv. If you look at, say, the royal court of the Dwendalian Empire in the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, knowing that one royal advisor is Neutral Good while another is Lawful Evil can really help with knowing how to run then in response to player actions.

I did the pizza quiz:
Neutral Good, "Benefactor"
Neutral Good means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, a Neutral Good alignment can be dangerous when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.

With alignment, I will always respect it for teaching me the term "diametrically opposed" nevertheless, having to attack another alignment like rabid weasels because of it, is not how I play, even though some do? What is Colville's take?

I got neutral good.

I got Chaotic Neutral, which makes all the sense even if there was never any answers for anchovies or kimchi.
