I've always played as ethically as if it were irl, I can't separate myself very easily.
the quote by C.S. Lewis always sticks in my head, "Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching"
Sure on the internet gaming platform you can f**k over noobs, and rip off un-suspecting players who may not understand as much as you do
and nobody will ever know, you can act like a complete asswipe in anonymity.
But for me the fact that I knew what I was doing was enough to not act that way.
I gave more gear to new guys than I ever traded for, I just liked mf'ing. I would try to give advice rather than ridicule.
that doesn't mean that if a person was being an ass that they were safe. I think that Shitty behavior does invite pk and nk situations :lol:
But that's how my Beliefs have affected my game play
...now reread the OP .

Might be a bit of a strange topic, but one that came up recently for me.
Got Civilization 5 a while ago on a sale, started playing a couple of days ago and enjoying the hell out of it.
I got Democracy 3 when it came out as well, that one is pretty nice too.
Now, my approach to these two games is very different. In Civ 5, I try to win and don't care much about the ethical nature of how I do it. Right now, I 'm playing as Venice and am basically doing a Rothschild and financing multiple other nations to wage war against each other while I profit. Previous game I raped them on the seas with Polynesia.
In Democracy 3, though, I really try to implement my own political and religious views into running that country. I tried to make the US an atheist and socialist utopia, got assassinated by nuns 3 years into my presidency. Was pretty bummed about that :D
So anyway, do you use your views in these kinds of games (grand strategy and political strategy) and sorta reverse roleplay it, or do you just do whatever it takes to win, or a combination of both?
