Bleh poll results disappointing. The only reason to play strategy games is to play other human beings, so you can put your strategies against theirs. Even if you lose, there is glory in knowing you lost to a human being and not some kind of automaton
You might be only half serious but I get set off by such comments in newsGroups when I see them. As much as I love strategy games I dislike player-vs-player games. I am willing to allow that some people live for the glory of climbing a tournament ladder and knowing their position on it. Yes I know thats not all MP players, just one end of the scale. But the point is that there are also people at the other end of the scale who prefer their role-playing aggressions NOT be an emotional human being. Someday maybe we can get the best of both and have a decent AI which will never hold a grudge.
