    I'll put that down as another "My coffee/tea intake determines my alignment".

    I prefer to think of it as we are not going to have anarchy and chaos until we agree on the rules.

    Chaotic Good. Absolutely. The Joker is scary as an idea someone made up for a movie, but real suffering is far more likely to be caused by The System, and people who think The System matters more than people do.

    (Going on longer would likely violate the no-politics rule, so there I stop.)

    Re-reading the 5e player's handbook short summaries of each alignment: I'm probably actually a chaotic neutral socially. I do border on true neutral and sometimes lawful neutral, closer to good rather than evil, but I actually only help people out if it'll also help me, or if it isn't an inconvenience. I used to put aside everything to help someone out, but I figured out that wasn't a great way to do things, personally. I also find that most rules are a decent baseline to follow, but occasionally veer off of that if I see there won't be a consequence for me and I have a reason to do it.
    This probably puts me between chaotic neutral and neutral good though.

    I think my "real life alignment" varies between Lawful Cranky and Chaotic Inebriated.

    Chaotic Good and/or Neutral Good, I usually follow the rules but I'm rather cynical about most established institutions . . . I tend to trust the specific people with direct authority over me, though. And I'm Good-aligned because, well, I care about other people and I hate myself when I think or act selfishly.

    I would like to be lawful good as it is the alignment best suited to constructing a stable, altruistic society. However, I have been so broken down by the corruption and abuse of reality, that I've become far too apathetic to ever actually pursue such an ideal. Thus, I waver between true neutral and chaotic neutral depending on my mood. F*** society.

    I'm pretty neutral. I like to think I'm chaotic, but I am too level headed and have too much fate in systems made up of humans (for instance groups of friends, clubs, contract laws, courts of law, scientific consensus). I'm not above an insincere compliment or breaking a law when nobody's watching, but I also see uses for rules and guidelines. I also like to think I'm slightly on the good side, but I mostly just do my thing. I don't volunteer for a lot of things that don't impact me or people I know, for instance. I don't easily fall for temptations, but that's mostly because one of my stronger vices is laziness. Call it open-minded neutral with a hint of "don't really feel like being evil".

    Caffeinated^WChaotic Good. Some might see me as Chaotic Evil but they are just wastes of oxygen.

    I took the test. LG. For me I value G much over L

A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day.

    Philosophically, I'd consider myself NG, but when I take alignment tests, I usually come up as LG or, more often, LN.

    Really?

    I'm all over the map with "alignment tests".

    What's it like to be consistent?

    I tend to think that people (as opposed to the personas we adopt in various social circumstances) have more than one alignment. Maybe the shift happens when their backs are against the wall. Maybe it happens when they are immune to retribution. Maybe it just has to do with how their innards are feeling today.
    I tend to think of myself as being neutral good, but shift to Lawful Evil when playing a game. Cards, RPGs, or regular board games, they bring out the evil in me.
    Not that there's anything wrong with that.
    I used to think I had this game mostly figured out. Then I made my first post. Cunningham's Law immediately kicked into gear.

    I think I'm probably true neutral or, being nice to myself, neutral good, in a daily sense.

    I'd be willing to dump everything Good in the universe for the ones I love, though, so does that make me evil?
