How do you have a good clbum that causes just as much trouble for forums as the bad ones do? You can’t say the good troll has a conscience and feels bad about hurting people because he’s still a troll, and by definition they want to cause disruption. I can see good hackers not taking certain missions because of ethics or whatever, but how do you have a good emo, camwhore, or permanoob? Emos don’t care about anything, permanoobs are too stupid, and camwhores…

Though it would be funny to make a joke about how they’re exposing themselves for justice and whatnot, it doesn’t make much sense.

Narrative justification is easy, if you try it.

A good troll harbumes people because those people are idiots that are ruining the internet for reasonable folks and they need to be put into place. An evil troll insults people because they they enjoy causing misery in others. A neutral troll just does it for the lulz.

A good camwhore wants to share her beauty with the world, manipulating onlookers into publicly acknowledging said beauty hence validating the camwhore. An evil camwhore just wants to be a tease in order to frustrate people and manipulate them into doing things they would probably regret. A neutral camwhore is just vain.

etc.

I mean, we already have an alignment system in the character bar, it would be nice if the game would interpret this somewhat in terms of actually playing this game. I mean, an evil Hacker probably would not replace the forum background with pictures of kittens, and a saintly troll probably ought to have a some very powerful attacks that aren’t “posting shock images” (“mini-mod” would be a great ability for good trolls.)
