KiNgBrAdLeY7: Then i win the title of the most evil gamer. Nothing compares to a mass scale genocide of an entire gaming world.

Sorry to break it to you, a quick death, or basically killing everyone isn't the worst thing to do. [...]
Slow death, letting some survivors despair, even better, making them feel guilty, now that's the kind of evil that's my league.
And again, it depends if it is scripted, if it's meant to be done, or if you just stumbled by it, and walked the extra mile to be evil.
How much effort did I take to be evil, what did you gain from it?
Researching the stellar converter in Master of Orion II to obliterate an entire Planet (A classic by the way) is evil.
But after researching the stellar converter outfitting a bomber squad with viral and biological bombs eradicating every single lifeform on that planet, slowly, perpetually, bomb by bomb, while their defence fleet just has to watch. Only for the reason that you want to show off and or because you are bored and you like the sound of the bombs dropping on the surface is another level of evil.
Now in Master of Orion II I normally use the stellar converter on toxic planets or those that are medium size or smaller as long as they have a hospitable planet in orbit so I can reform an artificial planet from the debris (which will be large so more colonists for me).
I do bomb the rest into oblivion because I like the sound, but I leave one system of the enemy race alive. My own race normally has telepathic abilities so I mind control and "farm" their ships when they grew bold enough to attack me, selling them for scraps or sending them at their own kin. Maybe they see how futile this is and when ask to vote for a galactic president the elect me to end the conflict but most of the time I simply abstain.
Sometimes I deliberately chose the other candidate and vote for him, making him president, why? Only so I can defy the outcome. After that every other race has to declare war on me and I can revel in the thought that they are just disillusioned or maybe just are forced to attack even though they know it will be futile.
