#724, "Whoa"


          

We suddenly moved from CF to the real world.

I think it's clear that all of us "gods" on CF aren't super omnipotent world creaters, ala christianity. After all, CF gods get killed on a regular basis, new ones crop up, and we work against each other all the time. If one god could declare the Ultimate Truth on CF, then we wouldn't have any gods that were opposed to each other. Plus the fact that, on CF, characters DO have a hard and fast alignment that everyone else can detect (unlike the real world, obviously) changes this whole argument.

When I answered the original posters question, I was speaking only on how it works in the game. To recap, there is no hard and fast line that will get a neutral character turned evil. It varies depending on the circumstances, characters involved, and the way it was handled.

Odrirg was a perfect example. Odrirg started to draw the line that chaos=evil. He even attacked some chaotic goodies, if memory serves. It was a thin line, and Odrirg was on the edge of getting in trouble a few times, but he always handled it right, by combining it with preaching, roleplaying, and a solid role that explained why he believed and acted the way he did. So, while it was still frowned upon, it was excused to some extent because of the circumstances. If it had continued to happen, or changed circumstances, Odrirg probably would have become neutral. Another character wouldn't have gotten the same leeway. It's relative.
