What's your favorite alignment?

I've been thinking a lot about old-school alignments from D&D and thought I'd add a poll here in case anyone wants to discuss the topic in terms of V&V.

In the poll above, I left out True Neutral since there was room for 8 options instead of 9 (and someone who favors True Neutral might not vote anyway).

For discussion sake, I'd consider the Crusaders to be Neutral Good (with the exception of Enforcer, who I might characterize as Chaotic Good based on his past).

For discussion sake, I'd consider most of the Crushers to be Neutral Evil (with the exception of Bull, who I would classify as Chaotic Evil based on his rages). FIST is a tricky one for me to classify under this system though considering his unique motives.

From an interesting personality standpoint I went with Lawful Evil. A twisted sense of justice and bending the rules in their favor.

FIST? Chaotic Neutral maybe. He's confused

I've always been a bit of a chaotic fan.  Rules are fine but I prefer to be more open-ended in my options.

Villains as well, by the way. Lawful characters tend to be predictable.

As the once mighty fertility God, Krunk said,
"You expect mercy from me? I am chaotic neutral!"
  

I am scary, very, very scary.

That kinda works for FIST.

From Opponents Unlimited, I am temped to say that Prankster is also Chaotic Neutral rather than Good.

Yes, but that feeling that a villain is doing exactly what you expect and there is hardly a thing you can do to stop it is terrifying in its own way.

Too right, especially when the players missed the chance to stop it earlier on.

I still like it when they only think they have it nailed and then get that Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? look on their faces. It tends to make up for all the time they made me say the same thing by ruining my exquisitely intricate plans yet again.
