In more humorous/lighthearted and/or cartoonish games I could probably go for mustache twirling, maniacal laughter evil, otherwise I agree with you.[/quote]

The game would have to be really, really fun for me to entertain the thought of twirling a handle-bar moustache. Personally, I’m a huge fan of The Evil Overlord List. So any humorous or light-hearted game where I get to play a villain who implements the Evil Overlord List would work well with me…

And that’s the sort of evil I’m willing to play, “slippery slope” evil, or “survival” evil, where you’re forced to make ruthless decision in order to survive.

Ah, half of our arguments over at the XoR thread seem to revolve around variations on these tropes don’t they? [/quote]

Yup.

You’re right of course, except for the sort of people who torture other for fun, “evil” tends to be in the eye of the beholder.[/quote]

Very true.

Again, depends on what you think evil is. My character is ambitious, someone with a vision for his country, and he isn’t going to let anyone stand in the way of it.

That basically sums up my XoR character as well. [/quote]

And if millions of innocents die, that’s just the unfortunate price of progress from your XoR MC’s perspective…
