A fairly obvious question with a few more detailed questions...

1) Which alignment do you side with?
2) Why?
3) How far would you support this side?
4) What are the advantages?

i choosed neutral
the comfortable middle ground that way i can do both good and evil without having to join either side.

i read somewhere (heroesIII i suppose)
good wants to destroy evil
the neutrals just want all for themselves
and evil wants to destroy the world

again neutral seems like the best option

That depends on what you count as good or evil. Good if it is actually good in my opinion, but then again, almost everything will be thought of as good by someone.

neutral is the best in my opinion.

but then that could be argued to be good, since it's best.
but i don't entirely follow my logic, i try to though. i need to work on remaining more moral. i have a feeling not many people do as their morals are either though.

and i DON'T mean morals in a religious sence. everyone has nonreligious morals, it's just weather they are absolutist or not(which is a part of their morals, heheh)

exactly. Everyone's going to say "good" unless they're just being dumb, but that "good" may be "evil" to someone else.

Good

2) Why?

Because I try to be a good person.

3) How far would you support this side?

As far as I can.

4) What are the advantages?

None, as the likelyhood of the workers actually being freed is quite low.

Good creates newness and freshness and life and all things unique. Evil cannot create, it can only distort and twist and misuse what Good has created.

I am neutral, because I believe in a balance. You cannot "support" neutrality, the same way you may support good and evil. You just are. The advantages are that there is no moral standpoint to really hold you back.

I support Evil.

It's doomed in the long run (good defeats it, or it destroys itself) but Evil gives you far more fun.

How Evil would I go? Depends how evil I am right now. In the words of the Scarlet Jester: "I'm already going to hell. What's a few thousand lives?"

Yeah, :D That would be worth considering, but of course, they don't call him the father of lies for nothing :p

I'm talking about the standard good and the standard evil.

Good = Protecting those who cannot protect themselves

Evil = Taking advantage of those who cannot protect themselves

Neutral = Well neutral :D

Straight up Evil. Call me Dr. Evil, actually, while I prepare the "laser" on my "Death Star."

A strange mixture of both. I can tend the paw of a wounded puppy, and at the same time order millions of people to be mercilessly slaughtered. I'll go with evil, because it's more fun. I get absolute power, wealth, immortality, and imperviosity. :)

Evil/Neutral evil.

Why? I use a different set of morals than others (What few I have). I'm very much sarcastic, cruel, sadistic, and uncaring in regards to others. I'm misanthropic, and nihilistic. I will sacrifice anyone and everything in order to protect the one I love most. All else, despite personal attachments, is expendable, including friends. However, those same friends I would protect fiercely, up to the cost of my life. I follow rules because the consequences would be inconvenient, not because of some form of conscience.

However, I am able to choose to act good, if I so wish, and stick with it. I have no problems helping others, but I don't necessarily get some warm feeling out of it. I'm known to my friends for always listening to them, and helping them out, whenever they need someone, and being incredibly caring. I'm a bit of a contradiction unto myself.

Edit: As for advantages, I don't feel what I view to be a burden to be civil or helpful with/to some random person which I hold no loyalties to, nor obligations to be kind to. If I am civil with/ to someone, it is purely of my choosing. The people who know me are always in shock/disbelief when I tell them I was once innocent, passive, and kind. Frankly, I've found I enjoy life far more once I switched, so to speak, and began expressing myself pretty much however I pleased.

in that case i'd be neutral/evil. if one cannot protect themselves, they are not fit to live. i'm not for taking advantage of them though by any means. it also doesn't mean that i'm for killing them either, only for not giving them other people's share of the produce, so they'd pretty much starve anyways though.

Good for myself, Neutral to bystanders, and pure Evil for whoever gets in my way. Why? because I can.

I'd say I'm for good, but that is a highly interpretive word. However, it can be certain that a few things are absolutely wrong, such as making others suffer for your own personal gain, rape of all kinds, and murdering innocent people. Outside of that, many things are open for interpretation.

Ha, I can agree with you Lord-General Drache in some ways(I am extremely moralistic but tend to be in such a way that some think it is evil). I am known to be egotistical, lacking in empathy, ruthless(one of my favorite books is The Prince), I have difficulty accepting those who I feel are beneath me so I guess I am elitist, I will sacrifice friendships and everything in my world that will not get me long term benefit or help my ego, I am very misanthropic and untrusting.

I can be good and actually strive to be good, Goodness has the benefits of chicks that are very nice and are more likely to meet my high standard as well as spiritual fulfillment and possibly heaven. However, I have a very strong desire for power and am willing to work extremely hard and ignore friends and family for something that will provide me with bragging rights.

Well, I am extremely moralistic, that is probably part of my arrogance. I picked my nation name because of my love of authoritarianism(religion is perfect for authoritarianism). I do not think that most people are capable of governing themselves and that is another part of the reason for the moralism(I have had 3 cousins pregnant before marriage, 2 opted for a shot-gun marriage which is not really a good idea, and 1 is going to be a single mother, and all of these people were too young to even think about having a child so by that fact, they are morons who were undeserving of sex). I can also empathize with the idea of being fiercely protective of a love, I tend to be possessive and would probably tend to be very close to that woman due to my otherwise unfriendly nature.

Yeah, my pride is what would bring me to evil.
