Probably going to get super flamed by the Rugby peeps.

Every time I see a rugby game I'm pretty thankful that their rules penalize blocking and thus all-around athleticism is generally more valued than fitting the particular physical ideal of a given position like in American football. Position specialization is exactly how you end up with 5'11" 180 pound wide receivers trying to turn the corner on an end around only to get pasted by a 6'4" 280 pound defensive end. Without helmets such an occurrence would be an outright disaster waiting to happen. It's painful enough watching old clips of Jonah Lomu running people over as it is.

Her left breast is the one directly below her face. The other one is almost always hidden by the other girl's leg.

That Rorschach could be considered Chaotic Good when interpreted to the letter is part of why the alignment system never worked too well. He flouts society's conventions, and thus doesn't really fit the Lawful Neutral template, but he only does so because society doesn't adhere as strictly to rigid principles as he does; he's actually quite bereft of compassion and he values his principles more than he values human life. He's Chaotic Good only by dint of being too Lawful Neutral to fit in with anyone else.

I don't think Indy is all that lawful either, I mean he is stealing the artifacts. Sure he is stealing them from Nazis but he is still stealing them.

Alex C · « **Reply #2063 on:** 04 Nov 2009, 17:33 »

Yeah, there's probably a discussion to be had there as well, but I got distracted by Rorschach since he's more likely to set policemen on fire. Whatever he is, the man isn't good.

Same here. My first thought when I saw the grid was that Indy should be Chaotic Good.

As for Rorschach, I would argue he is Lawful Neutral: neither good nor evil, he very rigidly sticks to a set of rules, it's just that his rules aren't the same as most of society's rules. So I wouldn't consider him an archetypal example of Lawful Neutral, I'm not sure who off the top of my head would be a good example.

Maybe an arms dealer. Or an amoral politician. There are plenty of politicians-without-empathy in war movies, any of them would be a good example of lawful neutral.

Alex C · « **Reply #2065 on:** 04 Nov 2009, 18:36 »

That's how I tend to interpret Lawful Neutral when left to my own devices, but as I remember the descriptions of each alignment varied a bit by edition. I remember that at one point Lawful Neutral was very strictly about tradition, honor, social standing and caste; it didn't allow for much room in regards to personal interpretations of justice or morality. For example, a samurai or knight who allows himself to be misused by his lord despite his own moral misgivings was the ultimate example of the Lawful Neutral mindset at one point. It was very feudal; you do what your boss tells you to do. Why? Because he told you to, ipso fuckin' facto. The best examples are probably guys from old Chinese parables about court politics and social order.

Yeah, Rorschach is definitely not good.

Also Anton Chighur is chaotic evil. A lot of Cormac McCarthy's antagonists are textbook chaotic evil.
