They might not know what their characters actually desire, what their personal objectives are, so the players end up playing to stereotype or worse - much like a chicken with its head cut off.A good session zero, where the players and the DM hammer out the personal objectives of each character as well as the reasons why their characters might cooperate productively in a group, will have a good chance to prevent most if not all possible alignment-related problems.If a player chooses to play disruptively in spite of discussion on motivations and whatnot, that's a potential red flag on the player him/herself, and one may have to consider kicking the player out of the group, because unless the player actually is one's kid, it's not one's job to teach the player how to be an adult.</blockquote>
