We hear this frequently, and few if any people have it pinned down. By this I mean what exactly is alignment-indicative.
Maybe we can start—together—trying to do just that?
1)
Effort is not indicative of alignment (True, yet it feels—at least on a subconscious level—that you gut Townread for putting in a lot of effort).
2)
Truth-telling? Personally as Scum I try to be honest on everything, besides the bit about being Scum.
That's a couple things. What else can we list? What exactly should we be focusing on when it comes to alignment? It just feels like no one really has a collective opinion on this, so we end up seeing tons of different players having different ideas and opinions on it.
