I’ve not played D&D for nearly 20 years… but got it instantly, and think it’s pretty accurate as is.

I can proudly say that I have never watched an episode of Shortland Street or that thing about the Westies.

Amazing that there are people who know what the alignments are and who the names mentioned are as well. I only know the alignments.

FFS, who with a brain watches crap like that? I don’t know any of the characters, or who plays them, and I don’t want to.

@big bruv 5:13 pm

Sorry bruv – agree that Shortland Street is garbage, but Outrageous Fortune was brilliant imo!

The only thing you will get brownie points from me for is the fact that you are here and not watching that one day cricket crap on the TV.

Apparently England lost to Ireland earlier in the week, big bloody deal, when Ireland can beat the Poms over five days I will take notice, until then it remains a minor upset and nothing more.

If it were the Pakis and not the Poms I would have called the game fixed. Too many lollies and dropped catches.

Do you own a television, toad? Don’t TV sets cause cancer?

My Daughter tells me this is ‘Short of Talent St’ and ‘Isaac’ is not ‘Neutral Evil’ but Natural Evil.
Well there ya go, learn something new every day, Shortland Street is for nutbars who psycoanalyze every day at the same time. Well not every day, but every day the addiction hits them.
Right, back to the real world. Constipation St is on soon, or maybe it is recorded

OK – as one who has never seen what seems to be a weird sort of Noughts and Crosses, and for the edification of both myself and others who have also never come across this ‘game,’ can someone please explain:

1. What this ‘game’ is called?

2. What its purpose is?

3. How one ‘plays’ it?

Thanks.

You must add Robyn Malcolm as Chaotic Evil.

Chaotic Evil Chaotic Evil is referred to as the “Destroyer” or “Demonic” alignment. Characters of this alignment tend to have no respect for rules, other people’s lives, or anything but their own desires, which are typically selfish and cruel. They set a high value on personal freedom, but do not have any regard for the lives or freedom of other people. They do not work well in groups, as they resent being given orders, and usually behave themselves only out of fear of punishment.

It is not compulsory for a Chaotic Evil character to be constantly performing sadistic acts just for the sake of being evil, or constantly disobeying orders just for the sake of causing chaos. They do however enjoy the suffering of others, and view honor and self-discipline as weaknesses. Serial killers and monsters of limited intelligence are typically Chaotic Evil.

Yep, Ireland are still a long way from being a test playing nation, just as Bangladesh were admitted too early (I just wish some of the big money from India and Australia could go into supporting infrastructure and development in the nascent cricketing countries).

Mind you, I guess after their Test performance over summer you aren’t taking notice of Australia either.

Hmmm… hard to disagree with any of the decisions there dpf. Six months ago I would have put Brooke in the Neutral Evil box but you might be right about her current position in LE.

At @Komata wiki it up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)

I don’t watch this show, but my first thought was this must be about each character’s pazazz between the sheets. So I vote for Ula. And Brooke.

OK I am at a loss to figure out what the hell this about. It occurs to me the Whale might want to come up with a chart along this line linking silly names and criminal inclination.

Fairly well agree except Isaac is chaotic evil and Brooke neutral evil. They are both excellent in either case.

[DPF: The chart came about after I tweeted that I liked Brooke and Isaac as they were believable evil – highly highly selfish, rather than a stereotypical serial killer etc. And then someone mentioned D&D alignments.

I stand by Isaac as NE. He is totally selfish but doesn’t go out of his to cause chaos. He just does whatever is needed to look after himself. Brooke I put as LE on the basis she wanted Isaac to go to the Police over the kidnapping, but she is an arguable NE also]

RightNow i started another batch – it stalled as ‘someone’ switched of the heater – Am trying to get it restarted this weekend. Frankly I’m disgusted, but will persevere. A beer sounds nice this lot will need another three weeks at least if I can rescue it.

I would like to see a Venn diagram showing:

A. People familiar enough with Dungeons & Dragons to understand the alignments well enough to make these calls.
B. People familiar enough with Shortland Street to know the characters well enough to make these calls.

You forgot the Lawful Stupid alignment.

Shortland St is a wonderful welfare scheme for actors who cannot survive on their own work. I always thought that artists (including actors) did their best work while starving in some garret somewhere and are only appreciated after they are dead. Actually – that gave me an idea. Zombie Shortland St.
