Alignment test

Neutral, which is what I expected [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've taken other alignment tests before (don't have the link on hand though), and this one isn't very good IMO. A lot of the questions were the same. Some of them were set in the D&D world (copper pieces / gold pieces / kings / using the world "lawful" made one question kinda loaded), while others seemed to be asking you about the modern world we live in. In most questions, the "evil" answers seemed completely unreasonable, where no one would answer that way, even those who lean towards evil. Overall I thought the survey pushed you towards Lawful, with the only way to go towards Chaotic being to answer inconsistently (a shallow way to define Chaos).

Instead of answering as myself (I found the choices unsuitable for my personal beliefs), I tried to answer as Michael Jackson would answer. The site proclaims Michael Jackson (or my perception of him) to be Chaotic Good - not what I predicted, but oh well.

Neutral Evil for me...

A neutral evil villain does whatever she can get away with. She is out for herself, pure and simple. She sheds no tears for those she kills, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. She has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make her any better or more noble. On the other hand, she doesn’t have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has. The criminal who robs and murders to get what she wants is neutral evil. Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies. The common phrase for neutral evil is "true evil." Neutral evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents pure evil without honor and without variation.

Chaotic Evil?!?!

That can't be right surely, I always saw myself as more Neutral Evil...

A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can only be made to work together by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. The demented sorcerer pursuing mad schemes of vengeance and havoc is chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is sometimes called "demonic" because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents the destruction not only of beauty and life but of the order on which beauty and life depend.

Bah, definatly not right.

Could you evil-resulting people list 3 or 4 of your "evil" answers from the survey? I'm curious how you exercise your evilness, in terms of survey responses. So many of the "evil" answers were... unrealistic.

Gee... I'm True Neutral... I guess that would be a good trait to have as a Moderator. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Neutral . A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn’t feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutrality is a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil. After all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, she’s not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. The common phrase for neutral is "true neutral." Neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. . --excerpted from the Player’s Handbook, Chapter 6

Chaotic Neutral

A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn’t strive to protect others’ freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. The chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). The common phrase for chaotic neutral is "true chaotic." Remember that the chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom both from society’s restrictions and from a do-gooder’s zeal.

Ah, it fits me like a glove, if i do say so myself...

But don't you guys find it kind of strange/odd/weird that with alot of the alignments they say that it's the best one you can be?

[TheGodThatFailed]
