I need to know the alignment of the following people

[Japanrocks12]

a) Saddam Hussein
b) Auguste Pinochet

 

[amadeus]

Hussein is neutral evil, Pinochet is lawful good.

 

[Adamb0mb]

Since these men employed lawful systems (they made the laws, right?) for evil ends I'm gonna go with Lawful Evil.

 

[Japanrocks12]

This information will be useful if ever, on a lonely sunday morning, I ever entertain the thought of creating a massive parody of world politics and mix it in with my beloved Dungeons and Dragons.

 

[frob2900]

Hussein is neutral evil, Pinochet is lawful good.

Hardly lawful good. Lawful neutral at best.

 

[plarq]

Hussein was law and gun.
Pinochet was gun and law.

 

[Fëanor]

Both lawful Neutral leaning towards Neutral Evil, im not sure exactly how 4th edition will be (or exactly how 3rd edition works) but if you have two scores one for lawfull/chaothic and one for good/evil, with 100-100 being Lawful Good, id give them about 80-40

George Bush i would give a 30-50 (Chaotic Neutral leaning towards True Neutral)

 

[C~G]

Pinochet is lawful good.

Tell that to his victims.

 

[Peng Qi]

They also broke the laws at their leisure, and therefore are not lawful.

 

[ArneHD]

Pinochet is lawful good.

And you base that on?

 

[bhsup]

Saddam: Lawful Evil
Augusto: Lawful Neutral

Me: I was a lawful good cleric who worshipped Vishnu about 24 years ago.

 

[GuitarHero]

Who the hell is Pinochet?

 

[LightFang]

Hello, ignorance! I've come to banish you!

 

[Bill3000]

They also broke the laws at their leisure, and therefore are not lawful.

Lawful evil does not mean a pedantic strength toward the law - that's lawful neutral. Lawful evil is probably first and foremost twisting the law to your own ends.

 

[cubsfan6506]

I meant lawful evil for hussein.

 

[GuitarHero]

Hello, ignorance! I've come to banish you!

Thanks. Now I know more about what I'm talking about.

 

[Peng Qi]

Lawful evil does not mean a pedantic strength toward the law - that's lawful neutral. Lawful evil is probably first and foremost twisting the law to your own ends.

Twisting it? Yes. Breaking it? No.

 

[Phlegmak]

It looks like Tycoon101 and I were the only people who voted correctly in the poll.

 

[EdwardTking]

Neither were lawful, recognising existing law (Pinochet overthrew elected Allende) international law (Saddam invaded Iran and Kuwait).

Neither were chaotic (not possible for chaotic people to become and survive as dictators for years).

Neither were good (both had innocent blood on their hands).

So by a process of elimination, I voted both as Neutral Evil.

 

[Fugitive Sisyphus]

I could argue that, since dictators are the law, they are by definition lawful.
