The fact that you're roleplaying doesn't mean that the character you are playing can't be rational, and make decisions/plans based on what's really happening in-game. If you try to keep your motivations more in line with what's really going on in-game, you may find yourself less frustrated (and less pissed off) by the actions of your fellow players. I'm sure everyone would appreciate that.
That doesn't mean you can't have fun. But maybe you can throw us off track, and maybe trip us all up every now and then, by doing/saying something that is understandable?
I do that at work all day.
Regarding the plans and decisions based on whats happening ingame. My decisions and the decisions of my realm are whats happening in game. That is why we act like we do or did. My motivations are are exactly what is in line with what is happening ingame because my character and realm survive where others flounder, cannot draw players, nor cooperate long term. Perhaps if my actions are not understandable it is those who do not understand that should try to understand. In a strategy game, for people to understand what you are doing would allow them to predict your actions, if someone cannot predict your actions they cannot beat you, if they cannot beat you they will have to adapt or be destroyed. If you can make your actions clear to those who follow you but befuddle those who oppose you, it doesn't matter that they cannot understand for they are the enemy.
