I watched you a bit because you were active in my playtimes and I thought you did well, actually. I'd describe your evil RP as "condescending (a bit), "prideful" and "arrogant", but not "mean" or "nasty". It might not be necessary to venture into mean or nasty to be a well RP'd evil guy, though
Out of curiosity, what kind of evil vibe did you want to get across?

That was pretty much my intention. I was about making other people feel helpless and weak, to make myself feel stronger and more powerful. A lot of the time though, especially early on, I felt kinda lost with my RP, just kind of winging it as I went. I dunno.. I loved the role, but I don't think I executed it well at all.
Honestly, I don't know how to play "mean and nasty" without crippling the funstick. I like to think that (besides the people that were oversensitive), I make the game more fun for my enemies, not just my allies. I don't know how to do that while being "mean" to them.
I'd love to be able to play the "creepy" style of evil, cause those are always my favorite to interact with.. but I don't think I could hack that either, at least not yet.
I'm trying to expand my comfort zone though, so we'll see what happens next.

You're right on the above comment. I don't see any solution for it, though. Age has softened us all, but even ten years ago I never could grasp the being a #### RP aspect of evil.
Maybe the creepy angle has a better shot though than the mean and nasty. You know to be quite honest about that, the players we have that can pull off 'mean and nasty' are not really RP'ing that so much as that's just the way they are.
So yeah, it's an RP problem but not one that has any solution I can think of.

From your number one fan from 'the other side'!
Makes me fume thinking of the times I almost got you and you got away.
You were a tough cookie, I enjoyed our interactions, fights and RP both.
