[Discuss] Too many good guys in BM?

[Siang Hong]

The way I see it - pardon me... played D&D for too long...

The sort of characters that are lacking in BM are Chaotic "crazy"
characters, not Evil characters. An annoying character that cares only about
himself is not... evil. He is simply not likable. Evil characters can be
very lovable - because you cant tell that they are evil.

A Lawful Evil character will follow orders, do what is "right" most of the
time but at the same time, uses the law to benefit himself. They will not
break the law to kill you, they will use the law against you and get you
killed. Lawful Evil characters have strong values and beliefs that they will
uphold but they like to do nasty things. I personally feel that Lawful Good
characters are just as bad as Lawful Evil characters - they are those
stubborn people who can only see black and white and will not compromise for
anything - in D&D terms Paladin.

A Chaotic character is the opposite, they have their own unique moral
compass. A Chaotic Good character will be like Robin Hood - breaks the law
and annoy the authority to do what he believes to be good and right. A
Chaotic Evil character will be like... Dr. Hannible, does whatever he likes.
A Chaotic Neutral character on the other hand will be someone who does
whatever that is convenient to him - selfish and does not have any firm
beliefs.

Annoying characters who bad mouth everyone, annoy everyone and just enjoy
causing trouble for others and themselves? Well... I think that has more to
do with mental illness than alignment :P

So... in BM what sort of character are you? I think my 3 characters are
lawful neutral, neutral good and chaotic good.
