If your character is Lawful he'd pick up the can. If your character is Chaotic he'd resist. Keep things simple
that guy in the mask is evil, i mean, just look at him.
if your character is good, they'd kill him.
simple as.
Yes but if they pick up the can afterwards and dispose of it properly they're Lawful Good.
Leaving the can on the ground will tax the logistical apparatus of the Evil empire, and thus contribute more to the cause of Lawful Good than picking it up, however minute.
the evil empire clearly isn't spending a whole lot of time cleaning up trash, look at the floor around that trash can
the lawful good thing to do is to get one of those spikes you use to pick up trash and stab the guy in the neck before properly disposing of the corpse and the can
what if the can actually housed the soul of the demilich meczeverrax
killing the dude would be pretty evil then
the line between lawful good and lawful evil is very thin.
>Lawfull good
>pick up the can
>say "no frick off"
>CP instantly vaporise
>refuse to elaborate
>leave
I pick up the can and shove it in the garbage bin the guy wears on his head.
what exactly is the law that forces me to clean up after the guard?
if I'm lawful, I will confront the guard for breaking the law himself, if anything

I attempt to stomp the can flat then do a sick kick, flipping it into the trash!
its a weird scene when you realise the guards are barely human, tortured little husks with amputated limbs and disfigured face in a suit
The metrocops aren't full aug'd, the higher rank combine soldiers/enforcers are increasingly augmented but the metrocops are just dudes in masks reinforcing the regime for more rations.
Civil Protection is just dudes who get extra food and sex occasionally. The augmentations start after memory replacements.
cps are still normal hence why people like barney were able to infiltrate them, its anybody above them that are brainwashed cyborgs
>surgically augment human soldier
>tell him to stand around with a tazer stick hassling random civilians at a checkpoint
The combines goals are surely a mystery.
Lawful isn't about obedience to human social structures.
Chaos isn't about disobedience to human social structures.
Actually Law being called Law is doing a lot of the heavy lifting of convincing people of this false equivocation. It should be Order/Chaos not Law/Chaos.
okay, what would an Order aligned character do in this situation, then?
Good Order?
Evil Order?
Chaos and Order don't tell you what a character's personality or code of behavior is, they tell you which side of a cosmic struggle for dominion over the world a character broadly ALIGNS with. They don't prescribe behavior. X alignment character would do whatever they personally feel is correct in the situation. Good/Evil is more rooted in individual code of conduct but its still an individual making best judgments usually with some divine doctrine informing their decisionmaking.
The entire question is reductive nonsense.
How would you, specifically, play it out? What would the last Order aligned character you played as do? Assuming you ever played an Order aligned character.
I don't use alignment because its a seriously bad system in 90% of games. Unless your universe has the metaphysical combat between Order and Chaos actively playing out and impacting the setting it doesn't do anything for you, and most fantasy games don't use that narrative device (or break it up more broadly into specifically opposed factions instead of a metaphysical dichotomy, like 40k).
Personally IRL I'd pick up the can because I'm white.
Weird choice to talk about a system you don't use, then.
But philosophy is fun as well.
Weak cope from someone who slavishly adheres to a system he doesn't understand. Intentional ignorance is despicable.
>inb4 but my alignment isn't Gygaxian alignment its my personal 3000iq solution in search of a problem!
Nobody asked.
But what would I, a true neutral do in this situation?
To remain completely neutral I guess I shall instead elect to bite the curb
I reach down and stand the can upright on the ground and leave.
true neutral
If you character is a character instead of an alignment they'd do something appropriate and ignore the fact that it opposes their "alignment" because their character would do it anyway.
>If you character is a character instead of an alignment they'd do something appropriate and ignore the fact that it opposes their "alignment" because their character would do it anyway.
Your alignment is a reflection of the things you did and are willing to do. Descriptive is the only way it works, prescriptive doesn't.
A real lawful character would report the officer for littering.
Or kick his shit in, depending on which lawful specifically.
God, D&D logic is so fricking stupid. How did that shitty game get so popular when there was so many better systems.
