If you're just going to play god then what's the point in RP'ing

Lets see... I went uber against Galadria because she kept cutting peoples arms off... now that isnt exactly good RPing. I went uber on Neb because he barged in, and at one stage kicked me from the Throne Room, when i was out in the courtyard. I didnt go uber on anyone else though... I lost as much as I gained.
As for controlling whats going on down here, the only thing I did was bring my character down here, and use some very big spells with extremley long casting times when the couldnt be interupted. And I took back the treasure because Neb simply ran in, took a heap of treasure and teleported out without even giving us a chance to stop him!! And if you dont call THAT powergaming, I dont know what you would.
Oh, and I can control the motion of Merlins Palace only if I have equipped the Silver Ring of Merlin... thats all it does. No spells gained, no AC improvement, no saving throw improvement, not even control over the people in the palace. Simply control over the Palace. It is as much of a hindrance as a help because I cant equip as many useful items at once... im down a ring, and have a staff or a sword as my only weapon!! Also, those boots I described arent exactly useful in battle... free action. And in the sort of combat occuring up there, noone would cast any web or entangle spells for fear of endangering their own team. And the cloak does NOTHING execpt look pretty, and no way am I going to remove it. It looks pretty!!
