Do you role-play in MP games and why or why not?

[cupido2]

I myself do a bit of roleplaying by picking a thematic pretender, like the Sacred Statue for MA Agartha. And I do the "Hail Lord of"-thing in diplomacy. I think you have to talk and write this way in a game like this.

Put really acting in a role and do the thematically and not the (imho) strategically right move, I only do when I'm on the losing side in a game. But that's nothing in an elaborate way or high art of roleplaying. More something silly to keep myself interested in the game instead of going AI. Like the Godfather in Radiance or the megalomaniac Agartha in Fallacy. Don't know if others thinks that the things I write are entertaining but it does the job for me and I always fought to the last province in the games I was in.
