At one point in my Byzantine playthrough, I was so annoyed by these guys I started castrating and blinding every single one of them and then release them back to their freezing north. Thought that would serve as a better warning.

- I kill off my vassals entire dynasty just to inherit their treasures and land. But that's not evil. It's pragmatic.
- I invite rich courtiers to my court just to have them killed for their money.
- I view all characters as chess pieces whom I'm controlling and manipulating. Nobody has any free will. .!. son for wanting to join the Holy Order when I have other plans in mind for you

Where should I start ?
- Child with my siblings, divine marriage allowed or not ? Check
- Execution of useless prisoners ? Check
- Execution of prisoner's descendants BEFORE his own execution ? Yeah, check too ! Let's see the prisoner drown in his own despair before his death
- Gratuitous castration of the last dynasty's member, even if he never had done anything against you ? Check ! Bonus point for keeping him at your court as the court's eunuch
But my biggest unnecessary action was fairly recent : playing as a kemetic arab dynasty in WTWSMS, with the "noble stranger descendant" trait, explaining that this dynasty came from a noble stranger who arrived once and became king of this place because of his skills.
Based on this, I used a crazy old guy who was ethnically a norse and imprison then killed every ethnically arabic member of my dynasty to "purify the dynasty". Went from around 1 100 living members to 400, with around -9 000 tyranny malus. And he died few months later in his bed.
Still planning to do an AAR with this one day.

I don't do all that much "extraordinary" evil stuff. I don't imprison or execute my character's children or stuff like that. I joined the Satanist cult once and another time I assassinated my character's husband because he made a fool of himself. I do sometimes use the assassination feature, but either I suck at it, or the way it works is really, really, really not fun.
The evil things my characters tend to do are things that were accepted as normal during that time frame:
Starting aggressive wars and bringing fire and death over the population in order to expand my power.
Viking-raiding other places.
Subjecting prisoners to torture.
Sacrificing humans to the gods.

It wasn’t evil but a little douchy what I did today. Just formed the HRE as Fratcilli. Asked the pope to become vassal, he then asked for independence in coronation. I agreed and asked him again to become my vassal. Then I converted back to pagan.
Fun times.

I killed every single one of this Caliph's young children (plus his sister) in a single action. Even made me feel a bit guilty.
I usually imprison and execute gruesomely any vassal that dares to demand a country from me. If he demands one for his children, I kill them all.
I really wish the we could react a bit more harshly when the do so, instead of a simple "This greed doesn't become you". Like humiliating them or cutting their tongue.

I impregnated my sisters while they are married, and then impregnated our daughters who were believed to be my nieces.
Why would you ever do that? Are you trying to get a bunch of idiotic, insanely inbred illicit grandchildren?
It's a genetic WMD. You marry your sister to neighboring Kings then hope that your future child is a genetic mess so that it ruin the kingdom
I play north korea mode with 15k retinues and 5 courtiers
also I type "prestige 200" to revoke temples, then I type "prestige -200" to cancel my sin (I'm at negative prestige most of the time)

Actually, you would get more than enough normal grandchildren, although it sort of sucks to get multiple genius + inbred kids.
Gave a Jewish Refugee character a lot of holdings and power. People hated him not me. Set it up so I would inherit his junk in a few generations. Milked him as a chancellor until he grew old and a better diplomatic character showed up.
Expelled the Jewry.
In two generations i got all of his crap.

That's just pragmatic, although I am confused by what exactly you got out of do this if the shit you inherited from this patsy what shit you gave him in the first place - it is actually possible to use a lackey as a shield against the dislike of other characters? Because I can't see what other use you'd have gotten out of this.
