I hope my point is clear now. I do understand that the OmnicidalManiac is a lot more common on the chaotic end on the spectrum, but that doesn\'t mean lawful characters can\'t be it too, or that being an OmnicidalManiac excludes you from being LawfulEvil. I\'m no longer arguing if LawfulEvil should be included, so what\'s the point in arguing? They are simply too few to justify the trope being listed as a LawfulEvil trope. This somehow derailed somehow trying to prove that they exist, but when nobody listens or cares enough, why bother arguing? It won\'t change anything.

HOLD IT!

There\\\'s a flaw in that too, it isn\\\'t a nessecarily a chaotic end. A goal is a goal, and even if you aim for something being common for chaotic characters, but achieve it through lawful methods, it is the methods, not the goal you are aiming for that makes a character lawful or chaotic. And just because there are more chaotic characters with that goal in mind doesn\\\'t mean the goal in itself is chaotic. That\\\'s like saying being TheMessiah makes you NeutralGood or LawfulGood despite using ChaoticGood methods to achieve their goals simply because a vast majority is LawfulGood, for example. Hence you are still LawfulEvil if you use lawful methods to achieve the goal of an OmnicidalManiac, because if ends go before means when judging character alignment, the whole thing is just pointless, since WellIntentionedExtremists for example would be classed as some good alignment despite how henious their deeds are.
