First of all, this had me laughing out loud. Good one! Not sure the system has a pigeonhole for despair It's a larger debate about how active or passive the Ring is. To me, it's active (a siren) because it has other active effects on its bearers, such as giving them a long, thinly stretched life. Having a long life isn't something that resides in the person being tempted; it comes from outside. But I realize that's a much larger debate, so I'll just say that's my rationale for calling the Ring Lawful Evil. Isn't it? It seems to play consistently by Sauron's rules. I don't see it as neutral like an orc; it regularly betrays its bearers in its attempts to get back to its master, and it doesn't stop for fun along the way.
Boromir: tough one. So tough I'll let others hash that one out.
Speaking of moving up and down the list, what do we do with Beregond? Good, and Lawful, until he disobeys Denethor to save Faramir, and kills another man of Gondor to do it. I wouldn't say he was lawful in trying to save Faramir as his lord when Denethor was clearly #1 in who should be obeyed. But does one act change your rating? It seems reasonable to assume that he went back to being Lawful Good as captain of Faramir's guard.
