6. Considering that *some* people think it looks like a green schlong
Pretty evil, I'd say.

How did it turn out with that guy, speaking of green schlongs?

20. Oh, by the way, I checked-you're chaotic neutral
Edited on Sat Apr-15-06 11:44 AM by EstimatedProphet
From Wikipedia:

The canonical system derived from Dungeons & Dragons creates a two-dimensional grid, one of which measures a "moral" continuum between good and evil, and the other "ethical" between law and chaos. Those characters that fall on one of the extremes are "good" or "evil", "lawful" or "chaotic"; in addition, there is a middle ground of "neutrality" on both axes, describing characters that are indifferent, committed to balance or conflicted about the stryggle between good & evil,or law & chaos. By combining the two axes, any given character has one of nine possible alignments:

Lawful Good... Neutral Good... Chaotic Good
Lawful Neutral... Neutral... Chaotic Neutral
Lawful Evil... Neutral Evil... Chaotic Evil

Chaotic Neutral

"Free Spirit"

Chaotic neutral is freedom from both society's restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal.

A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but does not strive to protect the freedom of others. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character doesn't intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others), evil (and a desire to make others suffer), or be lawful neutral. A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it.

A wandering rogue who lives both by work for hire and petty theft, and the drow Jarlaxle is an example of a chaotic neutral character. In wider fiction, characters such as Janice Soprano, Zaphod Beeblebrox from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Elric, an instrument of Chaos, and GIR from Invader ZIM would be considered Chaotic Neutral.

14. Are you trying to put me on a guilt trip?
You may not be evil, but you take a joke too far. Posting the brazilian joke is one thing - they just put you on ignore - but making it look like I'm spamming the lounge is another thing again - you piss people off and they put me on ignore.

21. BTW while we'reon the topic:
From wikipedia:

Neutral Evil

"Malefactor"

Neutral evil is pure pragmatism without honor and without variation — survival of the fittest.

A neutral evil character does whatever he can get away with. He is out for himself, pure and simple. He sheds no tears for those he kills, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. He has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make him any better or more noble. On the other hand, he does not have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has.

Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies.

Career criminals, particularly those who harm others for money, such as hitmen, are the most obvious example of Neutral Evil. In wider fiction, such characters as Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter stories, Rico from Little Caesar, Harry Lime from The Third Man, Christopher Moltisanti from The Sopranos, and Apocalypse from the X-Men comics could be considered Neutral Evil. In real life, George W. Bush is an example of a Neutral evil person.

24. No, but the folks
who pick a poster and keep kicking up old threads so that little else can be read on the front page of the lounge are engaging in slightly annoying behavior. :shrug:

27. I posted a thread commenting on that and the
plethora of BigJerr threads (to which I had no reference) but apparently there was a big stink per BigJerr threads - so mine was locked along with all of them.

Suggesting that I am inconsistent?

Plus - this thread was worded in a way that directly commented on that first case - as I believe it was Xema who did that kicking - reread my thread it knocks ALL who do that, including Xema.

I mean some here think I am personally responsible for the deaths of millions of calves... I know differently. You are what you think of yourself.

I will say, when somebody asks me to stop doing something because it bothers them, I do...if it directly affects them.

41. Does your job description include the words 'Overlord' or 'Minion?'
Does your head spin 'round 360º while you speak in a low, echoing, eerily harmonic voice?

Are you on a first name basis with any demons?
practice black magic?
regularly update your list of hexes...?
write fan mail to Rumsfeld and Cheney...?

42. My last job title was "field biologist"
but I strongly considered telling the people who printed the business cards that it was "field hand."

Which is sort of like "minion," ya know? :shrug:
