To be honest m8 your kind of evil campaign seems indulgently evil for the sake of being evil, which hasn't been my experience in the two evil-centric (we still had at least one neutral player) I've been a part of.

I think your three points as identified can easily come into play in a non-evil campaign too, depending on the focus. It's much more about the style of the game than the evilness of it.

GURPS is best

I have been playing RPGs for 15 years and I've never played a single evil campaign. I've never even been allowed to play an evil character.

and you never wanted to?

Our group played in an evil pirate game a couple years back. It was pretty much evil in name only except for us creating a thunderdome-esqu gladiator match with a ships crew that we captured.

I had some success running it in a combo IKRPG/Warmachine campaign (I know, ded game and all that meme bullshit). Players have to balance raking in the income through less than legal acts, making thralls, and not getting caught by an Inquisitor. We use Warmachine for conducting games where they Track a village, usually with one or two squads from the matching faction. That's why I'm so goddamn excited for Company of Iron - proper rules for Skirmish gameplay.

If I ever do an evil campaign again, my top choice would be Black Crusade. It's not something I'd ever run for my main group, but I ran it awhile back for the munchkin murder-hobos in my little sister's other group. I figured it would be the perfect game for them and they would be the perfect players for it.

Well, we all had a good time; but damn if their usual murder-hoboing didn't go right out the window. They got along well with each other, stayed focused and on-mission, and never really did anything evil. Don't know what happened; but like I said, we did have a good time.

My favorite campaign I've ever played in was a combination of an evil campaign and a "we can't think of anything, so lets just insert our characters into a book we like and see where it goes" style of self indulgent trash.

We played as three Menzoberranzan Drow on quest to do as all Drow do and ruin everything for everyone. We also happened to be age/schoolmates of this little purple-eyed shit named Drizz't.
We played that game all the way to 20th level, where by the end we started moving into other Forgotten Realms plot nonsense, exploded paladin-kings, lit deserts on fire, animated undead by stringing them up with ropes, gotten our limbs chopped off, and driven poor young Drizz't absolutely fucking nuts.

It was great.
