I'd never heard of Flatmaer before! I think it's cool Jagex went for a "good" god of Fire (I quoted good because you guys seem to argue about good and evil a lot).

Re: Profiles - Alignment Update
I think I'm just going to start using the D&D good and evil table.
Good vs Evil;
Good implies altruism, respect for life, and a concern for the dignity of sentient beings. Good characters make personal sacrifices to help others.
Evil implies harming, oppressing, and killing others. Some evil creatures simply have no compassion for others and kill without qualms if doing so is convenient or if it can be set up. Others actively pursue evil, killing for sport or out of duty to some malevolent deity or master.
People who are neutral with respect to good and evil have compunctions against killing the innocent but lack the commitment to make sacrifices to protect or help others. Neutral people are committed to others by personal relationships.
Law vs Chaos;
Law implies honor, trustworthiness, obedience to authority, and reliability. On the downside, lawfulness can include close-mindedness, reactionary adherence to tradition, judgmentalness, and a lack of adaptability. Those who consciously promote lawfulness say that only lawful behavior creates a society in which people can depend on each other and make the right decisions in full confidence that others will act as they should.
Chaos implies freedom, adaptability, and flexibility. On the downside, chaos can include recklessness, resentment toward legitimate authority, arbitrary actions, and irresponsibility. Those who promote chaotic behavior say that only unfettered personal freedom allows people to express themselves fully and lets society benefit from the potential that its individuals have within them.
Someone who is neutral with respect to law and chaos has a normal respect for authority and feels neither a compulsion to obey nor a compulsion to rebel. They are honest but can be tempted into lying or deceiving others.
For full details, see [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)]here[/url].
The average human is Lawful Neutral, whilst the average player is Chaotic Neutral.
It's by no means perfect, but I think we should agree with it. We all understand that good and evil are perspectives - but as a sapient race, we have created our own definition of right and wrong, good and evil, etc, and I think we should respect our species when talking from our opinion. Although, it's mostly true for all sentient... only their "law" is different from ours.
