Lawful good is the only acceptable ethical alignment

[Devsman]

It can be fun to pretend, but for your actual day-to-day living, if you are anything but lawful good, you are living life wrong.

[Funky Monk]

Nuh uh

[Xero_Daxter]

No matter how good you are something is gonna give. Like the time Superman snapped and allegedly killed “The Elite”.

Chester: You killed my team!!
Superman: I did. And they won’t be killing anyone else anymore.

[Grendalcat]

Neutral neutral.

[De Hollandse Ezel]

no.. neutral good is better.


-the law often is unjust.
like when it legalises immoral things.. opresses righticus things, silencesthe voice of readen to push propaganda.. and so on.

ofcourse no society functions without laws so hence neutral..
but in the end I am the law aka chaotic good.

Lawful doesn't mean legal, it means order. Like the opposite of chaos.

While not necessarily untrue, if a culture decides there is a Law, that is both Order and Law. For "Lawful" there has to be an acknowledged social framework to base that "order" on. If not, then the player/anyone can just make up their own interpretation. "Ethics" is like that in that it is derived from expectation and what is deemed "correct" in interactions, even if there is no "Law" demanding compliance.

"Law" must be rigidly defined, no matter if it's something "orderly" or not. Making a well-built wall by stacking one''s freshly slain baby corpses is not a Lawful act, no matter if the wall is very strictly compliant with an aesthetic "order" or if it was ordered by a King or if it's just determined to be "orderly" behavior one does after a battle...

A Paladin couldn't rip-off a potential buyer of a item simply by wording the contract in such a way to favor them while knowingly grossly penalizing or defrauding the buyer, either. Not just because it's "Evil," but because it is unethical, defying accepted expectations of the the other party.

(Well, they might try that, but using a strict interpretation of this very heavily Alignment-dependent class in AD&D 2nd ed, they couldn't knowingly do such a thing without risking their oath/class.)

PS: As an aside, a Lawful Evil character is the most fun to play Evil-Aligned character. :)

I disagree. Chaotic Evil is the best alignment.

[Sir Seanicus, Esq.]

Lawful Good is one step away from Lawful Stupid.

Chaotic Evil is one step away from Chaotic Stupid.

Nah bro, that's if you want a boring and plain life working for the mfs that don't. If you want an excellent one, you stick to neutral evil. You bend the system just enough to a point where they don't come after you and put you in prison. You always employ finesse in your day-to-day life.

Politicians don’t seem to think so.

And they’re more successful in their lives than you and I will ever be.

At the cost of being a politician. :aos2nanako:

Politicians are honestly stepping stools for businessmen like me. They have an insanely stressful life having to deal with all that inner and outer conflict and confrontation, and having to work fixed hours just like any other wagie, ♥♥♥♥ that. I'm vibing, I earn more than politicians (maybe not more than the very corrupt ones). And I have complete freedom unlike them.

At least you're smart enough to understand that laws only get in the way.

[Professor]

Not all laws are good, not all laws are equal & just because you break the law by J-walking, it certainly doesn't mean you are living the wrong life LOL

Laws keep the ordinary person compliant or somewhat honourable & has very little to do with one living the right or wrong life, as we are all born with a moral compass that should be able to identify the difference.

Laws only exist to keep the strong chained down and the weak feeling safe. They are artificial and following them has nothing to do with morals, it's how the state exerts control over its subjects.

Also, right and wrong are subjective and morality is also highly debatable.

Yes I agree, the elite are rarely chained down by laws, in fact they have the resources to circumvent the law. Right & wrong is subjective but then again so are many facts & truths LOL

True that morals are questionable as their is no common sense because people rarely share a sense in common. Laws are often an artificial perception of how the state wields control over its subjects. They are rarely applied equally, fairly & are often very bias, as social status seems to take precedence over the law.
