What would be your nation's alignment, if you compared it to DnD Alignment system?

Lawful Good: Uses the law the uphold civil, political, and human rights, constantly beating otehr nations on the head with the law to make sure that everyone is safe and happy.

Neutral Good: Uses any means necessary to prevent atrocities and keep people safe, both within itself and in other nations. So long as a war has no government-ordered atrocities, they usually turn the other cheek.

Chaotic Good: Often a reckless, eager government who isn't afraid to use any means necessary to prevent injustice. Willing to support groups that are known to use atrocities to stop larger groups that do the same.

Lawful neutral: So long as internal and international laws are upheld, they couldn't care less.

True Neutral: Only looking out for its own good and cares ntohing for others. Oftentimes will join on one side to maintain a balance of powers and lead to a stalemate so life can go on.

Chaotic neutral: Totally unpredictable, these nations will do whatever it wants to whomever it wants for whatever reason it wants to give.

Lawful Evil: Will use the Law for its own purposes, often ignoring ones that prevent it from doing so. Will attack others in the name of the law, but is usually corrupted and cares nothing for its own people.

Neutral Evil: Uses whater methods necessary to get whatever it wants, oppressing or manipulating all that it interacts with.

Chaotic Evil: Chronosia.

I would have to rate The FedAB as Chaotic Neutral.

Myself, I am Lawful Neutral MT and True Neutral FT. PT would be more True Neutral or even Lawful Evil, but I haven't played as PT yet.

I'm most assuredly Lawful. It's either Neutral or Evil.
Gorkon

Lawful neutral. Technically the Gorkonian government regards the world as 'beyond hope', and generally 'completely insane', and as such focuses on domestic issues. And I personally can't blame them either!

True Neutral, even though these actions may sometimes be seen as evil, we are indeed, neutral. Everything the Emperor's government orders is decided by the application of logic, with morals playing no part whatsoever in any part of the Dominion's actions.

True Neutral: Only looking out for its own good and cares ntohing for others. Oftentimes will join on one side to maintain a balance of powers and lead to a stalemate so life can go on.

Chaotic neutral: Totally unpredictable, these nations will do whatever it wants to whomever it wants for whatever reason it wants to give.

I would have to say a mix of these three for SeaQuest. But, more True Neutral than anything else in the mix.

That kinda makes more of Lawful Evil, actually.

I think SQ went for the meanings of each one provided. Neither of us play DnD (only saw the movies).

As for my nation, I would have to say Ha Dum is a mix of the same three as SQ, only with a higher percentage of Chaotic Neutral than anything else.

I can be pretty safe in presuming that Lawful Good is the stance of my nation. =^^=
Pananab
15-02-2006, 03:34
I see your point, but this about it: They are willing to follow and uphold the law and maintain balance, willing to break the law to maintain balance and protect itself, and are unpredictable on getting what it wants. It's basicly Lawful Evil without the Corruption.

He also says I'm pretty Mercenary.

I'd say Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Evil, depending on what your Mercs are willing to do.

Chaotic neutral: Totally unpredictable, these nations will do whatever it wants to whomever it wants for whatever reason it wants to give.

The only constant in NE is that when we devote to a cause, we devote. If something (ideal, other nation, this nation, imperialistic hopes, etc) is worth something, isn't it worth fighting for? And if you'd fight for it, isn't it worth dying for? And if you'd die for it, isn't it worth it to throw your entire mind, body, and soul behind it, so that your death might mean something? You can see where this is going. If it is something that matters at all, it matters enough that the people of No Endorse will do ANYTHING to accomplish whatever they need to. If it's not important, no one honestly gives a darn.

Oh, and we're highly honorable (fights are between armies, not armies and civies, etc), so maybe a little bit of chaotic good, but not too much.


EDIT:

:D just seems that way. Idunno, Raynor just seemed to be a cutthroat mercenary idealist in the game. I'd call you a true CN, cause you honestly do things for whatever reason you wish, mostly based on your standards.

The Theocracy of Mouldivia is above such petty concepts like good and evil, lawful and chaotic. We have the truth of Fred! The philosophy of 3 guides our policies and actions as dictated by the Perverse Pope himself!

We're the epitome of a Lawful Evil regime who cares only about her own people. We'll do whatever it takes to benefit us, but will usually fight honorably, and always tries to look in the right, which sometimes takes a bit of deceit. ;)

That's more True Neutral. Lawful Evil uses the Law to its advantage and is willing to break it at the same time. Someone who looks out for only itself is more True Neutral.

I play DnD. I'm more like CN than CE. If I was any Evil, I'd be NE.(well, only NE is NE, but you get the idea)

That's SQ in a nutshell. I'll let him know when he gets back.

How would you describe me with what I posted? (Basically same as SQ but leaning towards Chaotic Neutral more than anything).
Pananab
15-02-2006, 03:59
I'd say that your alignment would be Lawful Evil.

Evil is such a nasty word. We ought to get a replacement. Maybe if I ever make this more complex.

only on bad days... on good days I'm sorta CG... I shudder to think what my maniacal guys would do if I ever got a DS or GG. That just ain't something that bears thinking about. And on some days... well... ever heard the Wall by Pink Floyd? Tis why I went for CN, cause it waves all about.

Shalaam

Shalaam: Neutral good. Influenced by religion (Judaism and Islam), but still democratic.
Mirkana: Lawful evil. Plotting, militaristic, no morals.
The Far Realms: Chaotic evil by definition.

Xharn, you are lawful evil. Pretty much anyone in the AFH is.

Xirnium
15-02-2006, 15:27
A blend of “lawful good” and “true neutral”. The rule of law is held sacrosanct in Xirnium while the advancement of civil, political, and human rights considered the most noble goal. It does not shirk from criticising other regimes for their violation of these tenets.

That said, Xirnium’s government cares ultimately only for its own citizens, and leaves the world's problems for other, more idealistic, nations to try and solve. Foreign policy is made with respect to this principle.

Chaotic neutral/lawful evil, but tries to maintain a facade of neutral good during diplomacy.
The Strogg
15-02-2006, 16:00
The Strogg are, contrary to popular belief, completely amoral. They have no concept of good or evil, no emotion, no limitations. They have little to no interest in politics, international law, the domestic affairs of foreign nations or anything else. Everything they do is for the benefit of the collective, and they don't care what it is or how they can achieve it. If they contact you in some way, you can guarantee that they have no actual interest in you, but in what they can use you for. If you see them out and about, just ignore them and hope that whatever they are doing doesn't involve you -- if it doesn't, they will ignore you too. If it does, well, they won't bother asking for your permission. They are, quite simply, the epitome of neutrality.
Yallak
15-02-2006, 16:11
To be entirely accurate Yallak is a combination of Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Evil and Neutral Evil.

You say WTF? I’ll explain:

Lawful neutral: So long as internal and international laws are upheld, they couldn't care less.

Not so much international, but in whatever the Empire does, Imperial laws are followed to the letter.

True Neutral: Only looking out for its own good and cares nothing for others. Oftentimes will join on one side to maintain a balance of powers and lead to a stalemate so life can go on.

The principle working of the Empire – it only carries out objectives that benefit itself. Second part is irrelevant (we don’t make stalemates).

Chaotic neutral: Totally unpredictable, these nations will do whatever it wants to whomever it wants for whatever reason it wants to give.

Exactly as it reads, though we usually have only very good reasons for doing things.

Lawful Evil: Will use the Law for its own purposes, often ignoring ones that prevent it from doing so. Will attack others in the name of the law, but is usually corrupted and cares nothing for its own people.

Ah yes, ignoring international law unless it benefits the Empire is the only way to go. But definitely not corrupt – the people fully cared for too.

Neutral Evil: Uses whater methods necessary to get whatever it wants, oppressing or manipulating all that it interacts with.

If we want something – there is nothing you can do (unless you do something that stops us) – but only manipulates those that aren’t allies.
