I've never thought about it much till now, but what are your respective character alignments? I'm assuming most here, being libertarians, tend towards the Chaotic side, but I might be wrong.

Neutral

A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn’t feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutrality is a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil. After all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, she’s not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. The common phrase for neutral is "true neutral." Neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion.'

Sounds about right. frown 

Except that i'm a dude so the "she" pronoun doesn't apply.

D&D, trying to be more inclusive to the girls that don't and probably will never even play it.

Thank God I'm not neutral. That sounds like the worst imaginable philosophical outlook.

Edit: Then again these questions aren't exactly what I thought they were..

I tend to score neutral or lawful evil on these tests, but it's because D&D adopts a rather simplistic, Manichean approach to morality, and also because the questions are limited in their scope.

I got neutral too.

They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes.

What I've found is that 'good' and 'evil', as far as D&D is concerned, is really more along the lines of collectivism vs. individualism.
