Roleplaying has nothing to do with playing to win or not. You can play to win and roleplay/play thematic, and you can play thematic/roleplay and be a complete moron strategically.

The two camps are not roleplayers vs non-roleplayers. The 2 factions are min-maxers vs non-minmaxers. A mix-maxer is happy to play with Mists of Deceipt, for example, even if he knows it is bugged and broken, just becouse it is a good adventage. A non-mixmaxer is not willing to do so, and preffer that spell to be fixed, or removing it from game. A min-maxer ussually acept that everything that is in the game, is allowed (like MoD, or copying Bogus orders, or moving 3 provinces with move+patrol), and that the game is balanced becouse everybody can (or should) know what those bugs (or features) are, so everybody can use them. Those who dont know that twiceborn on a demon will grant them inmortality are not of their business.

The guys who carry that a step further are cheaters. Which mean they hack the 2h file and whatever (things that are not inside the game, intended or not). I havent read no one here saying that part is right. Although i beleieve that some people would consider it "fun", just that they wont admit they'll do. Heck, there are THOUSANDS of people who use aim-bots in counterstrike and what not... cheating is part of the nature of the gaming community.

So you are not roleplayers?

I don't know what to say. It sounds like you guys have created your own rules for the game, and you expect other people to have the manners to play by those rules, even if it means losing. I am guessing you guys would eat a loss or quit a game if it came down to doing that or finding a counter to something that is not a part of your personal ruleset.
