Haha, oh no. Oh no.

 

Let me tell you a little something about this whole thing. If you say you're part of the Chaotic Legion... you're being Lawful. You're all coalescing into an organized side, right? And you're trying to fight against Lawful because you want to obey the rules of this whole exercise; get more members on your side and defeat the other. You might "win" by having more members or whatever... but ideologically? You've already lost.

 

Maybe you think Chaotic Evil villains are cooler, or perhaps, you associate Chaotic with Evil. It's fun to root for the villains. Except, well... Lawful Evil is much more interesting. Lawful Evil is a favorite alignment of Manipulative Bastards, Knight Templars, and other characters that like having goals and motivations other than "EVIL AND CHAOS".

 

Voldemort is the Dark Lord, but who do you hate more?

 

You can go the Even Evil Has Standards route with them, or if you like your baddies to be really despicable, Lawful Evil is where you find those villains who are terrifying because they seem real. The guys who you can totally understand the thought process of in all its horrible detail. Maybe even a person you could meet on the street...

 

However, perhaps you joined Chaotic because you want to root for the rebels. Maybe you hate authority or the establishment or whatever and you want to go DOWN WITH DA RULES. After all, I just said Lawful Evil usually has more realistic villains. Does that mean that, realistically, Lawful is more Evil?

 

 

 

No, it doesn't. Because Lawful Good is all about making the right rules. Lawful Good doesn't stand around when there's injustice just because DA RULES (that's Lawful Neutral). Lawful Good people will overthrow a corrupt government so they can make a better one. It's a harder decision for them than, say, Chaotic Good, but Lawful Good is all about trying to improve the system rather than giving up. Lawful Good is about justice, basically.

 

I totally didn't paraphrase the previous paragraph from Order Of The Stick or anything...

 

AND THAT'S WHY EVERYONE HERE SHOULD FRICKIN JOIN LAWFUL ALREADY
