Just play nice until you have unlimited cosmic power, then smash whoever you feel like. The GM will never suspect the LG Wizard was just buying time to become omnipotent until he could slaughter every Gold Dragon on the planet and build a house out of their scales.

And then in 15 levels the party finishes the genocide of all gold dragons, thus fulfilling the prophecy and acting as harbingers of the end times.The gold dragon proceeds to confiscate the party's gold, wagging a claw and telling them they have learned a very valuable lesson today.
Then it takes the gold and flies off, never to be seen again.
For the record, the intended joke was that the gold dragon was just a huge hypocrite. But this is funnier. :P
The term 'murderhobo' is a term which 50% of the RPG community finds offensive, 25% proudly admits to being, and the remainder of the beleaguered commoners frantically denies that they are.
Oh, I'm glad someone ran a poll. :P
A sufficiently prepared PC is indistinguishable from Batman.
A sufficiently buffed bat is indistinguishable from a dragon.
By the definitions I see here, a lot of 1st through 2nd Ed modules make the PCs instant murderhobos. And a lot of 3.5, Pathfinder, 4.0 and I suspect 5.0 as well.
Yeah, every adventurer inevitably gets some shade of murderhobo at some pojnt, like Phoenyx said. It's not an inherently negative term, though—just a somewhat comical one, lampshading the inherently comedic nature of the "adventurer" profession.

Just hope it's not BATTY BAT with AM BARBARIAN riding along

I'm going to have to ask now that nobody else vote so the above joke isn't rendered nonsensical. Sorry guys. Gotta have priorities.

(6) Some of my best friends are murderhobos.
I used to date a murderhobo. Sure, it's all glamorous vacations in the outer planes and meeting important dragons at first, but I'm not an expensive magic item. I was never enough for her, ya know? I started finding letters from some 'AM BARBARIAN' guy, and she was always staying out late with her party. When I tried confronting her about it, she went off on me.
"It's not about feelings! We never talk about our numbers anymore. I need someone who's open about his DPR!"
I never saw her again.

"Hey guys, I feel kinda bad just taking all this stolen money. It doesn't feel right. I mean GoodFolks village probably really needs this money to make it through the winter. Should we really be taking it as our own?"
"Modified Law of Salvage. If I'm puttiing myself in mortal danger than whatever I find is mine for the taking. It stopped being their gold when the orcs stole it. With the orcs dead the gold belongs to whoever takes it."
