no problem - I understand the philosophy/theology behind it - western society sees order as part of goodness, yet random acts of kindness are not part of the order where rule keepers deserve better than rule-breakers.
by profession, I am NG/LG, but there is a part of me that likes goodness - kindness to ones fellow man - more than rules. evil people can love rules and the Nazis are a prime example of LE, yet there is the kind of indiscriminate evil espoused by terrorists than is CE - disorder and random suffering for its own sake. Chaotic Good is a difficult alignment - it believes in mercy more than justice and that rules often don't work to promote well-being, so people should be free to live without many rules - NG is easier in that it tries to balance rules against freedom.
A chaotic good character will make decisions that are not guaranteed to produce good results, but would rather take the risks of change than let bad rules predominate.
I think a chaotic character would gamble without become evil, even if somebody suffered - they did not inflict the suffering so why should they be held responsible?
