Luckily you're outnumbered.

Imo, it's the Law-Chaos axis that should cause conflicts more so than the Good-Evil axis.

The Good-Evil axis merely determines the motivation behind your actions: Are you acting for the good of others, or merely to empower yourself? An Evil character may not care about the well-being of others, but that usually does not mean that he will actively seek to harm or kill others if it does not benefit him. Especially when traveling in a party consisting of Good characters, when revealing himself to be too far on the Evil side could turn allies into enemies. A Good character and an Evil character can act almost exactly the same with different goals in mind, and the two could be completely indistinguishable without the use of a Detect Good or Evil spell.

The Law-Chaos axis, on the other hand, more directly influences the actions that a character will take. A Lawful character will always abide by an area's laws, and adhere to his deity's beliefs and codes (if he follows one). That character will also insist that his traveling companions also honor his codes of conduct. A Chaotic character will, by definition, besmirch the Lawful character's beliefs, insisting that it is oppressive for the Lawful character to force his beliefs onto others and that he should be free to do as he pleases. The Chaotic character's constant disrespect of the Lawful character should cause much more conflict than a silly question of whether someone wants to slay a dragon to protect a nearby village or simply to get his hands on its treasure hoard.

Another random thought: Paladins are not supposed to associate with Evil characters or anyone who consistently offends their paladin code. As far as they are concerned, a Chaotic Good character is just as bad as a Lawful Evil character.

So good/evil axis is essentially altruism vs self-interest? O-o;

[Laddy]

Pretty much.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Taking that into consideration, it is rather mild. "Evil" is just a signifier for a psychological egoist. :/

[Laddy]

Well, self-interest under your definition is neutral. "Evil" is more self-interest regardless of whether or not it's at someone else's expense.

I love how one year back at my old job and I went from Chaotic Neutral to Chaotic Evil

Chaotic Evil
A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can only be made to work together by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. The demented sorcerer pursuing mad schemes of vengeance and havoc is chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is sometimes called "demonic" because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents the destruction not only of beauty and life but of the order on which beauty and life depend.
