[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 4941721, member: 31216"] So your thesis is that the game rule fails because people can’t come to agreement on real world rules? People can’t agree that D&D Good means X (the definition text in the book) because they can’t agree what real world Good means? Ask some non-D&D gamers what an elf is, and how many different descriptions will you get? Some will describe what we D&D gamers call a gnome, a halfling, a pixie, a goblin, or goodness knows what else. But we D&D gamers have no problem discussing elves despite the real world different definitions. Yet “Chaotic Good” gets all kinds of confused in conversation despite it is pretty much originally and still strictly a D&D term, defined in the D&D books – defined as well or better than “elf”. No one has said this. You’re setting up a strawman. If you think that, fortunately for your understanding, those are not the only three words in the definition. Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
