sorcyressLike every good nerd1, I occasionally sit back and think about what my alignment would be.
(Classic AD&D style --in KamB, as in real life, I'm pretty much always Chaotic Hungry. And none of this 4e bullshit)
And like every good nerd, every once in a while, something happens to me and I find myself in a situation where I can just *feel* the shit-eating grin of the Big Gamemaster2 In The Sky. Because if you do too many things outside your alignment, you get pinged, but ohhhhh is it tempting some days.
My school's website is a dot-org. The dot-com version of the domain is not currently purchased. They did not hire me back and while I do get that it's not personal, I'm still bitter that I have to job hunt and re-deal with medical insurance. YOU CAN SEE WHERE SOMEONE WOULD START TO GET IDEAS, RIGHT?!
Anyways, I was curious enough to click the "buy this domain" button, whereupon it asked me to put an offer into a textbox...and when I tried "$25", informed me that my offer must start at $1000. So my alignment today can remain comfortably at "neutral poor3".
Alas!

MOOP!
1: There is no correct way to nerd. I am describing one subset of my geek culture. If your nerddom doesn't involve DnD or even tabletops in general, that's cool too.
2: "You say GM and not DM?" (tw: misandry ;) )
3: This is an interesting discussion into a different set of words, since even when I've been scraping together rolls of dimes to pay rent, I have never been, culturally, poor. I am extraordinarily lucky, and hope that remains the case.
PostScript: So, what's your alignment? And based on this post --I was careful not to say-- what do you think mine is, or better yet, what do you think I think mine is?
