Barbarians can't be lawful.

Heh, I'd allow it; of course, they'd have to ditch rage which one of the barbarian's major draws to do so. |

| I feel compelled to copy/paste the whole thing.
| Quote: |
Lawful Good
A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. |
Could just be my alignment compelling me.
EDIT: Hey, I hear that Evil has cupcakes. |

| They do indeed have cupcakes.
I suppose I'd be chaotic good. I do what feels right to me, because I don't trust society (especially mine) to do what's right in anything resembling a timely fashion, especially concerning human rights of certain groups. I am, at the very least, not lawful. An open minded person is rarely steered in the wrong direction by their moral compass for very long. They self correct, hopefully. |

| Based on your answers to the quiz, your character’s most likely alignment is Chaotic Evil.
Chaotic 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.

| Oh. I guess I'm actually:
Neutral GoodA
neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is
devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does
not feel beholden to them. The common phrase for neutral good is "true
good." Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means
doing what is good without bias toward or against order.

| So not too far off.
@Gan: I honestly never believe normal people could actually get CE unless they were intending to do so. So I'm rather curious about you and Conduit's results....

If it were to show the marks behind the test, it would probably show sharp dips in Good and the L-C Neutral, with G-E Neutral and Lawful being narrowly behind Chaotic and Evil. I'm selfish, ridiculously amoral, and have little to no respect for authority, but hell if I'm going to do something to bring forces I can't control down on my ass. Honestly, I think Neutral Evil would be a more accurate result.

| "A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act."
I don't quite agree with that... to pull a Godwin, anyone in Nazi Germany was expected to tell where any Jews were hiding and even kill the jews themselves. Indeed, it would be against the law to hide the jews, and it would be considered 'wrong' to do so by many. Would they then be chaotic evil? Of course not! So, Ordered Good would be more accurate, as it does not change from culture to culture. They have inflexible moral principals that, by and large, are good. An Ordered Good person would give exactly 10% tithe to their church every week and go to church every week because they think it's the right thing to do. A chaotic good person would give 10% one week, then go to a homeless shelter the next, stay home and watch the tube the next, then maybe help out at their school the next, etcetera etcetera etcetera. Ordered expresses their altruism through consistent giving, Chaotic expresses it by doing what they feel like.

Unfortunatly, as much as I agree, tossing in the idea of morals in there makes it entirely conditional based on culture. You cannot in good faith state that say Island A is immoral while Island B is moral, even tho Island A kills the poor and Island B helps them, because on each island that respective moral idea is the correct one.

| Ummm... I think we can pretty well agree that hurting others when they're not hurting others is wrong, and helping others when they're not hurting others is right.
Dictionary.com defines morality as the following:
1. conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral or virtuous conduct.

Exactly, but those rules are determined culturally. That was my point. In this culture, your above statements are true, I was saying however, we cannot judge the actions of another culture on moral grounds because they follow an entirely different set.

No, no, we can. If they think it's okay to hurt people innocent of crime (or who are only guilty of the 'crime' of being something or believing something), it is evil. Their 'morality', or social code, is null and void because it does not follow what's right and wrong.

whats right and wrong is determined culturally. We see rape as wrong, some tribes in south america and africa see it as right. the perception of right and wrong is based on the ideas of the culture you inhabit.
