3421, Objective definitions on good, neutral, and evil?
Posted by Align Puzzled on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
What are the objective definitions of good, evil, and neutral?
They are constantly referred to by admins/immortals on the forums, but the Academy didn't really delineate what they WERE. I understand this is probably to keep people thinking and roleplaying, but there's obviously an evolved group concept that I am clueless about.

I've been reading a lot of forum posts to understand the standards of RP (vs game culture, vs playability, and others) on Carrion Fields.

In particular this post stands out:

For example, on some other post, the role of a character who goes around killing other good characters/mobs is discussed. The answer is that while there are particular roles that might justify this to an extent (good ragers killing elfish invokers), the final decision would be based on objective nature of the character's actions, not whether it thought it was "good" in its own mind.
