Yeah, just average person would probably be neutral or neutral good.  Chaotic Neutral characters tend to be retarded.

Not half as bad as Chaotic Evil. Or, god forbid, Lawful Good.

Lawful Good and Chaotic Evil can be played well too.  It's just that most people aren't subtle enough to play them the way they're meant to be played, and go for caricatures instead.

You know, seeing all this enthusiasm makes me sad that it'll take three weeks to finish every encounter. The idea is noble, but you might consider supplementing it with live sessions on the blue moon that you can all make it (and someone is willing to stay up until 3 am for it).

I'll play, but note I intend on being an expert. I have found they are the most enjoyable class for my playstyle.

Also, I have no idea if 4th edition has them.

I say! It is my forthright opinion that D&D 4th edition seems to exhibit a vacuum effect, exerting negative pressure on matter around it - as the youth of today say, it "sucks". And in addition, I have observed that most of those who play it are not, in fact, humans, but British cigarettes, and most strikingly British cigarettes who often express their surprise through interjections. Indeed, 4th Edition itself is very happy.

...this isn't quite ridiculous enough to be a joke, is it? What could expert have that rogue didn't?

And no, 4th edition has no NPC classes. It does have more and less skill-heavy ones, and most classes have skill-enhancing powers available, but there's really no way to do a just-the-trap-guy character. Though in theory you could eventually have a character who's trained in every single skill, at the cost of lacking fun benefits elsewhere.

If so, dibs on being the warlock. Or the warlord.

I request a place in this endeavour, although if capacity is limited I do possess alternative outlest. I hold a preference for the third and a half edition of the rules, due to a measure of familiarity with the rules and a preference for the underlying dynamics. 4e is boring...(but the system isn't everything)
 I lack the documentation required to partake in a game of the fourth edition of the rules, so I would be dependent upon others to supply me with an avatar, although my interests in the system are limited, so I am willing to possess an avatar of any specifications, with a preference for the magically inclined...

Be advised that this is not a venue for debates as to the merits of various versions of gaming systems, statements on the matter beyond a preference, or unwillingness to participate with a certain system are mostly inappropriate.

Fourth edition is better.  Unless you're conservative.  You know, terrified of change.  Sticking to the old ways.

Considering timezones and all that jazz, it'd be me staying up to 3-4am. I've done it more than a few times for Neruz's game (Friday nights, Sunday Nights), and I'm sort-of free on Saturdays. But three days in a row of getting to bed at 3-4am?

Hell. No.

4E is for fags and WoW-fags and it sucks.


Also, in. Though I predict it will die due to being a PbP.

Trust me. They are ultimately more time consuming than chat play. You will soon see.
