On the player side of things it's 100% up to the player whether or not to use alignment as an RP aid. The world is going to react to the PC actions based on what the perceiver believes.  The citizens aren't going to be like, "That guy just punched the little old lady in the head and knocked her out.  He's evil!!!"  They're going to be like, "Gods! He just knocked out old Millie for no reason! Larry, Curly, Moe, Shemp, go get the guards!"</blockquote>
