Well the longer the Nightmare is active, the narrower the division seems to become.

Hopefully that won't happen . . . but Ron might not be up to the fight on his own.

Which was your character? I'm glad Ron could help him out.

Funny, I had a conversation about this before seeing this poll.

I have not been keeping up over here lately....

I must say that Kolya would be surprised by the poll results thus far.

Well with the influence of the LN on him lately, he's definitely been more in touch with his badder self.

Now how long this influence will last and how much it has changed him is open to speculation.

I see Ron as the kind of warrior that takes psychological trauma and turns it into harder resolve, rather than having it break him down.

I can easily see Ron coming out of the LN situation stronger rather than weaker... even if during the time he takes a few dips.

Voted with consideration to how much Ron and Darcy seem to get along these days.

Anyway, it's been a fairly long three years since I threw this up for debate, a lot has changed for Ron. Anybody want to change their vote?

I must have missed the most relevant storylines. What was Ron doing which prompted the question?

This was back in and around the time-line when Ron killed Celeste and was his hardcore monster killing self.

Well I think they might have seen eye to eye once, but it was a pretty mean staring contest.

Nope. Still scrupulous.

I think Ron is a good example of how and why alignments are highly subjective. Just look at the different answers in this thread and the spread on the poll. At best they're a general descriptor of how a character usually acts. At worse, they're viewed so differently by so many that they cease to have any meaning after a certain point.

Still, it's fun to guess what a character's alignment might be.
