2) I never once said who you could and could not like. I told you what the rules said about who your character can call friend. What you choose to do with that information is entirely up to you. Fair enough. Personally, I'm not fond of this rule. How am I supposed to use OOC information to determin...

that is a completely unnecessary comment. and besides.. I would say that the person who has less than 15 posts and thinks he knows everything about alignment is more of a troll than anyone else. I'm sorry. I was under the obviously mistaken impression that this was a public forum for anyone who pla...

I wonder how people can ever play other rpg's than D&Dwhen they have no alignment grids! I mean how on earth will people know what to to do, when their personalities are not neatly summarized by two words..? :lol: Thanks, Tangle, this is exactly what I was talking about. Interacting with players of...

I wonder how people can ever play other rpg's than D&Dwhen they have no alignment grids! I mean how on earth will people know what to to do, when their personalities are not neatly summarized by two words..? Ok, this is getting depressing. I never once said that your alignment should determine your...

That bull shit is like me saying I will never hang out with my best friend again because he refuses to drink and I am an alcoholic. Some say opposites cannot be friends, I say I have my own private DD. And on to my opinion on alignment... STFU! Alignment is OOC, useing it in any way is OOC. Philoso...

I have seen tons of very good roleplay between characters that are of different alignments but who are also friends, and at times couples. Heck, my bard (CG) married a LE woman in game. And don't you dare tell me that this was bad rp, because there was a ton of reason for this, with months of rp be...

People have made several posts on my behalf and their characters have been neutral/good. Is that a sign of friendship? No It IS possible to be friends with someone who you don't agree with totally idealogically. IRL I have friends who aren't Christian, and who aren't pro-choice. They aren't GOOD fr...

Mostly, because of the restrictions I have seen it put on RP and the stereotyping I think it causes, I don't really care for alignment very much at all. Alignment is just like every other rule I've encountered in real life: it's probably a good guideline, but that doesn't mean it isn't ignorable so...

When you start basing your friendships in the game on an OOC alignment grid then you have a problem. The "rules" are a tool to allow us to create a liveable and enjoyable envoronment, not a straitjacket set of ruels to tell us how we must act. You're right, that's why I never suggested that you do ...

It also depends on the individual. Sh'lieulias has a number of friends who are neutrally aligned, and even some who are good aligned. Why? Because in the AKN he is a dedicated researcher, and people respect that. He may be gruff and harsh, but he has an apprentice and shares his knowledge. Several ...

I think if two people have different "means" for the same "end", there is a decent chance they can still be friends. While I agree with the general concept you've stated, no such condition ever exists within the D&D universe with opposed alignments. A Lawful Good Paladin may tolerate a Neutral Good...
