I tried playing a neutral evil character once. It didn't go well. I killed the prisoner and got in a fight with my teammates and the GM decided to never play that campaign again.
i think thats more chaotic evil, since getting in a fight with your teammates obviously does not help you.
The teammates started it. They were acting hostile after I killed the prisoner so I enacted preemptive defense.

yea i think the preemptive defense part was the wrong choice. I mean be on your guard but let the good guys attack you first if its a fight they want (which they probly wont do, considering their alignment).


New Test.

One of the teammates interprets "good" as "eradicate all evil".
Which I feel is relevant to this discussion.

Though I tend not to partake in activities such as this I have thrown my hat into the ring and tried out the first test.

When I tried metalslimehunt's new test about Robin Hood and so forth, this is what I got:

I don't really know what to make of that. Though I wasn't expecting it to be so personal (I feel silly saying that) it is actually pretty much on the ball.

thats good news for you, let him be a zealot and attack you first, watch as most neutral/lawful characters start turning on him because of his aggression.

defend yourself of course, killing him if you must, its "self defense" so no one else should turn on you. If you attacked preemptively that causes everyone to turn on you because of your aggression.

I think a big part of the personal feeling is allowed by the generality of the statements. It's kind of like that previous test with colors, but with a bit more effort to actually make it significant.

I'm sorry, we rarely played by alignment. Apart from my evilness, everyone else just applied alignment as the closest label to fill a space on the character sheet. When in-party fights happen, they're to the death, regardless of alignment.

It is a very unscientific method indeed.

Sorry if I made this seem serious. None of the playing is ever serious, which is why the GM let me choose an evil character. The last fight erupted over someone stealing a wheelbarrow to burn an indestructible house, and resulted in the deaths of two player characters and the annihilation of a town. Everyone involved was of neutral alignment.

Which brings me to a new question:
Is alignment directed from the character's thoughts or actions?

you need a new gm, you guys are technically supposed to act like what your alignment would have done.

OP test, got INTJ. I recall taking a similar test and getting the same anagram, so that checks out.

Honestly, if the entire party doesn't care one bit about alignment, the GM should probably (heh) roll with it. Unless they agreed beforehand that it was going to be heavy on the RP and alignments would be taken seriously. There's no point starting a fight that could potentially kill the fun of the campaign over something like alignment unless it's a problem between one player and the rest of the party. :|
