&gt; &gt; Heh.  I guess you missed the long thread about alignments; most people
&gt; &gt; couldn't figure any good way to fit absolute good and evil into a mud at all.
&gt; 
&gt; Well, I couldn't find the thread in last two months - November folder
&gt; contains 194 unread messages, thread names don't tell anything about
&gt; that - can you please remind me the thread name?
&gt;

This thread spans the late August/early September archives and is 
appropriately named "Alignment".  The viewpoints ranged all over the place 
with strong opinions as to it's usefulness or not. 

&gt; My model has the relative G-E alignment instead of usual absolute - to
&gt; be brief, 'alignment communities' which have different views one at
&gt; another - see the detailed description at the project pages (below). I
&gt; believe that this way it's much more realistic than an absolute
&gt; alignment.

Of course you could check out the r.g.m.a. thread Alignment, where I 
attempted a spirited, but pigheaded attack, on relative value systems vs. 
absolute value systems.  Of course it has very little to do with muds. ;P
