Dudley's lawful? He always seemed chaotic to me... |

Alignment is an illusion (and one of the worst atrocities ever introduced to the roleplaying world by (A)D&D). |

Alignment isn't that bad, is it? |

There's nothing wrong with alignment. It's just a simple yardstick for your character's outlook, nothing more.

Alignment is a good idea, which is generally badly handled. |

My personal way of handling alignment badly : always play chaotic neutral characters...and do as I please from there, based on roleplay, not pigeon-holes! |

Alignment isn't supposed to be a pigeonhole, it's supposed to describe your character's general personality as it is under normal circumstances. If your character's all over the map, protecting the innocent one minute and then murdering passersby the next, then you may not be playing a well-centered and believable personality.
Anyway, you don't want chaotic evil for the do-as-I-please sort of character. True neutral encompasses both chars who have a philosophical belief in balance, and the kind of chars who don't favor any side in a conflict (apart from their own, perhaps) and just go with the flow. If you would decide whether or not to save the village from being burned down on a case-by-case basis, you're TN. CE characters should burn it down themselves to teach those stupid villagers a lesson about making their houses flammable. |

...Not another 'Alignment is bad!'
'No it isn't!'
'Yes it is!'
'Isn't!'
'Is!'
...Kind of argument...
...Sheesh.
Get over it, either way, and accept that you don't have to accept it, even if someone else does.
Sure, compared to Harsh Reality, alignment is absurd.
Heroic fantasy (read: the D&D system) is intended to have a starkly defined Good and Evil. Religions try the same thing, and get the same arguments against the classification.
Oh well.
Can we move on, please, without going over the details of an argument that has been discussed a trillion times already? |

Sorry, didn't know this pigeonhole would turn out to be such a Pandora's box =) |

If you're going to play D&D and you don't like the alignment system, play without it. Pen and paper RPGs come with guidelines, not hard and fast rules. |

run Nethack.exe

The real you is beginning to get hungry. You make your way to the fridge. Your mom asks you to take the garbage out.

Your mom gets angry! Your mom hits! --More--
Your mom hits! Your mom hits! You die... --More--
But wait! Your begins to glow!

Your GPA decreases! Your GPA decreases! You die... --More-- |

Grognor, that happens with me sometimes.
Except I`m homeschooled and I resist the urge to attack my mom. |
