Third Rail of Gaming

Alignment - 3-Point or 9-Point Alignment?
Matt: 3-Point
Edgar: Hates alignment, chooses 3 under the gun.
Donn: 3-Point
Adam: 3-Point

Does 9-Point Alignment suck?
Matt: Too cumbersome.
Adam: Good & evil are irrelevant.
Edgar: 9-Point sucks because of insurance tables.
Donn: Evil is evil. Suggests a two alignment system: "cool" or "asshole."
