Dump other hands preflop unless you get a good price on pockets and a great price on other hands.
If it were one of those online games where they scramble the table every hand anonymously, and the typical action was still as described, I would totally do what you're saying. But I am willing to believe that someone could quickly get a reputation as a rock. Therefore, if villains start instafolding to our shoves so they can just get on to the next series of ten or twelve hands we fold pre, where they can play their usual donkey game without interference, shouldn't we start opening up our range to take advantage of the fold equity from our nitty table image? Then tighten up again if we get caught with something questionable AIPF?
ETA: With that wider range I'm advocating, I would limp from EP and then shove with the whole range, unless the shove was not enough to push everyone out by the time it got back to me, and I was stuck with something on the lower end of my range. Limping and then folding occasionally would also mix up my image and help keep people from being afraid to raise a pot that I had limped into from EP.
