Edited the following quote for directness:
greenvoid:
If I understood it correctly, in D&D (and Pathfinder) Good = Altruistic, Evil = Cruel. (By the way, in my opinion the Pathfinder Society and its members are, by the above definition, Evil).
Are we taking this to vote?
Because I agree with it!
Played a Society game, which I've not done in a while, was floored by how many 'evil' characters are the table...
For example:
I was the token pre-made Cleric; nothing uber-killer.
Going through the adventure and suddenly, I have to heal people!
Great, getting ready to do the 'wash' cycle of healing - that channel healing aura. In this party, we have 6 players; they all group around me for warmth not knowing I could fill the room up-to 30 feet, whatever...
So, they're all around me: Blast the wave...roll the dice - rather high - and...
Everyone's eyes light-up, they're thinking: We're almost back to full health till...
The DM asked me: What alignment I was and which Deity I asked for assistant.

THUD
THUD
THUD
There it was, I took down three Evil characters. Left standing: Me (ofcourse), a Fighter and a Rogue. Which I asked the Rogue: How are you still standing? They smiled and said: I have one hit-point left...
The DM, the Fighter, the Rogue and I are old college roommates; and the DM has played with the group - minus me - before; so he kinda knew what would happened. I on the other-hand got reminded the 'joys' of playing at Stores...
Talk about three very pissed-off High-schools!
