What class are you? If Paladin then you can perform repentance for any evil deeds. Not sure about clerics.
Also, that doesn't sound like a sufficiently evil act to completely shift your alignment, particularly as you were acting under someone else's instructions.

Not to mention you didn't intentionally kill the guy.

I think he's playing fast and loose with alignments, seeing as he said I could move to good for giving someone 500 gold to move out when he needed 50.
I'm a cleric, and I'm just going to move to a more chaotic god (chaotic neutral probably). I'm also not completely useless without powers because I'm 6 fighter / 3 cleric
Yeah but you can't really play fast and loose with alignment if your class is reliant on remaining within a certain alignment. It doesn't change the fact you've lost a load of class powers because you've fallen out of favour with your deity. Changing alignment is a long term process that can take multiple sessions if not an entire campaign to accomplish. I think your GM has been playing too much Fable. That or they're a moron.

As a GM, you should generally never forcefully change a players alignment unless they keep consistently doing things that are very out of their alignment range over a long period of time, or they do something absolutely ridiculously far out, such as burning down an orphenage as a lawful good character, or give away everything you own to those in need with absolutely no recompensation of any kind as chaotic evil.

That seems wholly inconsistent. Even as a Lawful Good character you're going to be killing things all the time, many of which are going to fall under morally gray areas (that no one delves into, too much time and philosophy involved). To [I]accidentally[/I] kill someone from the simple act of hitting them, at their own request, and suffer an alignment change is [I]very[/I] poor DM'ing in my opinion. I would bring it up and force the issue if necessary.
Alignment change isn't supposed to be an easy and quick process, else Liches would do so any time a Paladin was on their trail.

I'll ask him to change it to true neutral since I haven't been acting particularly lawful lately

Ask him not to change it at all and promise to be lawful. Say you had a lapse of alignment
My players torched a building this session. It was full of giant insects so it was entirely understandable, not a result of it just being a game I'm involved with.
There's a spell that allows you to use blood for spell components, is there another spell or feat or trait that would let me use other people's blood?
In our spycraft game some unkown russian organisation blew up the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraj_Al_Bait]Abraj Al Bait[/url], pretty much completely destroying a lot of the structure and killing half the people inside.
Our first reaction was "Nerts is working for the Russians!"
And half the game our Explorer was trying to throw C4 at things or use his flamethrower.
And then we got in a car chase and he threw napalm out the window.
[B]THE SPIRIT OF NERTS IS STRONG.[/b]
You are anathema, Nerts, I am sorry to say.
Man, the only time a structure's gotten destroyed in any of my games was a dungeon with a self-destruct trap. Players made it out basically unscathed, although the entire mountaintop is now encased in ice.

yey spycraft exploring is fun
And I was the best player ever and the other people in the group are sluts.
First session of my friends pathfinder campaign:
We get accused of murder and necromancy
Rogue yells at sheriff, gets thrown in jail
Ghosts
I get possessed briefly
Rogue escapes from jail
We all save the sheriff from a possessed farmer
Go to the tavern and have ales
Storytime: We were told we needed to find out where this terrorist dude, Phoenix, was hiding out, and all we knew for sure was there would be an arms dealer meeting up with a confidant of his in a party at this hotel(linked by Rear). We decided that the Driver, the Soldier, and the Explorer(who wound up having to leave before anything happened) would find and take out the arms dealer so I, the Faceman, could disguise as him and find out from the confidant where Phoenix was. Our Intruder, meanwhile, was driving around town trying not to be arrested for being a driving female in the Middle East.
Our Driver and Explorer were disguised as saudi police officers, and pulled over the arms dealer, Hector's, envoy, with the Soldier hiding in the back of their police cruiser. The explorer had to leave right as they got out of the car, so the Driver walked up alone to the car Hector was in and asked his driver a generic "Do you know why I pulled you over?"; he replied with a no, and was swiftly shot in the head. The remainder of the convoy was Hector, and 3 bodyguards in a second car, the driver of which was instantly also headshotted by the driver, after which the Soldier made swiss cheese of one of the other guards, then chopped the head off the other with his axe. Then he made swiss Hector, too.
I went in alone to the party and met up with the confidant, convincing him that I had a large supply of arms including a Euromissle Milan, one of the most high-tier missile launchers in the game. He asked about more "organic" weapons, and I claimed to have something of a "contagious" type. This lead to the group saying I dealt in viral videos of cats. Confidant gave me a keycard to a room in the hotel, and told me to wait in it for Phoenix to come down from the room above to officialize the deal. Our Intruder went up and started pointing a laser microphone at every door she passed, eventually attracting the attention of an unfortunate bystander who got a swift punch to the nose and passed out. Then she found Phoenix's room, and was greeted by his 3 bodyguards. After fighting them for a while, she called my Faceman and said she needed help, at which point we all started rushing up to help her; me from 1 floor below, the rest of the party from the bottom floor of the hotel(she was on floor like 114).
Once I got up, she tossed me my gun and we took about 50 turns missing shots at the bodyguards as the 2 least combat-focused members of the group, until she managed to shank one with her switchblade. Then the rest of the group got there(Including the explorer who had just got back), and they killed the last 2 guards in about 4 turns. We went in, and found Phoenix standing inside, holding up a hand with all 5 fingers out. The intruder snuck around to avoid scaring him off, and as she was about to chloroform him, I coined the first one-liner of the game: "Here's that chemical weapon you wanted."
At this point, we took the unconscious Arabian down to the bottom floor, excusing anybody who asked questions with a "our friend had too much to drink". Once we got down, all but the Intruder hopped in the police cruiser, and a chase ensued between us and a mystery sports car that followed us. Eventually, we lost them and made our way to the heliport where our helicopter was waiting, then put Phoenix in and took off.
As we flew away, our Explorer got a phone call. Somebody who knew his name warned him, saying something along the lines of, "You've taken down one of us, but there will be consequences." (Our GM's mic started getting shitty about half-way through the session, and at this point between him being quiet and everyone saying things, I could barely understand him.) Then the hotel blew up, and the tower collapsed and fell on to the mosque across the street.

The Intruder had a motorcycle and refused to ride with the rest of us.
we're good spies :)
[QUOTE=Rats808;40860988]The Intruder had a motorcycle and refused to ride with the rest of us.[/QUOTE]
You all probably smelled.
Also, I was calling to confirm I found the right room.
[sp]I could have done the whole operation myself, I just didn't feel like it[/sp]
Because 3 bodyguards who start shooting at you immediately aren't indication enough of the right room.
remember fatespinners?

It's probably worth noting that the collapsing hotel critically damaged the Masjid al-Haram at the height of the Haiji season, which put the total bodycount at something like two million.
Because if you're going to collapse the second tallest building in the world onto something it might as well be one of the largest annual gatherings in the world on top of that. I might be mistaken but at maximum capacity the Masjid al-Haram can take four million people.
So the Spycraft campaign kicked off with the single worst terrorist attack in the history of the world in terms of cost (the Abraj Al Bait Hotel alone cost approximately fifteen billion dollars), loss of life (two million, give or take) and loss in terms of cultural significance (the Masjid al-Haram being possibly the most important single location in Islam; pilgrimage there is a core pillar of Islam and something every able-bodied muslim is expected to do at least once in their lifetime, not to mention the immense historical value as the place is almost two thousand years old.)

Yeah but due the the basically-nil roleplaying (and the whole thing being narrated through a mumble), not a single fuck was given that day.
