Morning at Wombathaus begins with a three-way wrangle over whether I am Lawful Good or not.
ME: I always play a paladin!
SHEP: Oh no. You’d totally murder a small child to save a rare plant. Lawful Evil.
ME: Is that evil? It’s internally consistent—
LIZ: *facepalm*

SHEP: MURDER
ME: Ok, now are we talking actual murder or just letting someone die? Because murder would be evil, but if the kid and the plant are dangling off a cliff—
SHEP: That’s murder!
ME: No it isn’t! I took Intro to Philosophy and it’s God doing the murdering in that case!

SHEP: That is SO Murder!
LIZ: Also rules lawyering which is Lawful Evil.
ME: If you don’t act, then it’s technically God doing the murder! You technically aren’t morally liable until you insert yourself into the trolley problem.
SHEP: That is so Lawful Evil.

SHEP: If a small child is dangling off a cliff and you say “Sorry kid,” and get your trowel, you’re Evil.
ME: No! Evil would be kicking him off the cliff!
LIZ & SHEP IN CHORUS: THAT WOULD BE CHAOTIC EVIL

ME: ...I feel like it’s an arbitrary moral line that values humans over rare plants and if it’s internally consistent—
SHEP: YOU’RE A SITH. DARTH HOSTA.
ME: *mumble*

Yes! Liz actually attempted to defend the possibility that I was Lawful Neutral.

Anyway, final authority on my morality was given to Kevin, who proclaimed that I was mostly Lawful Neutral edging into Lawful Good “but sometimes you stray.”

Also, thanks to a very fine autocorrect, we have defined @LizardbethArt’s alignment as “Lawful Advil.”
