Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oofta" data-source="post: 7474464" data-attributes="member: 6801845">I'm saying that if a player wants to cause mayhem and disruption they'll do it no matter what.  What people describe as an issue with the alignment is an issue with the player. I'm sure someone who enjoys causing grief will find a way to do it.  After all, is there really that much difference between stabbing that important NPC because they felt like or because "my code demanded it".I also think alignment is one of the least important aspects of describing a character.  Or at least no more important than ideals/bonds/flaws.  I've played or played with CN run by players that were in no way disruptive.  I've played with players of LN characters that were a pain in the ass that aggravated everyone else at the table on a regular basis.As far as the LE character killing someone because "it's the law", doesn't it depend on what law they decides to follow?  Darth Vader was LE but he had no hesitation about blowing up a planet.EDIT: I guess all I'm really saying is that, yes, some people play jerks.  In my experience they're going to play a jerk no matter what.  Saying that CN is basically the same as an insane terrorist but a LE person will never go against the will of the party is what I have a problem with.I think it's silly to say if someone was correctly playing a neutral character they could never be a trusted ally while an evil character can automatically be trusted because they're "lawful".  Only the player really knows what code they follow, that code may include "kill everyone in the party once they've served their purpose".</blockquote>
