If I Ever Become an Evil Overlord:


1.My legions of terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors,
not face-concealing ones.

2.My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.

3.My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not
kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.

4.Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

5.The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the
Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of
Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box.

6.I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.

7.When the rebel leader challenges me to fight one-on-one and asks,
"Or are you afraid without your armies to back you up?" My reply will
be, "No, just sensible."

8.When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill
me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll shoot him,
and then say "No".

9.After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married
immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three
weeks time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried
out.

10.I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely
necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button
labelled "Danger: Do Not Push".

11.I will not order my trusted lieutenant to kill the infant who is
destined to overthrow me -- I'll do it myself.

12.I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum -- a small
hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.

13.I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need
to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my
weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.

14.I will not waste time making my enemy's death look like an
accident: I'm not accountable to anyone and my other enemies wouldn't
believe it.

15.I will make it clear that I do know the meaning of the word
"mercy"; I simply choose not show them any.

16.One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any
flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before
implementation.

17.All slain enemies will be cremated, not left for dead at the bottom
of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any
accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the
aforementioned disposal.

18.My undercover agents will not have tattoos identifying them as
members of my organization, nor will they be required to wear military
boots or adhere to any other dress codes.

19.The hero is not entitled to a Last kiss, a Last cigarette, or any
other form of Last request.

20.I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find
that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to
activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his
plan into operation.

21.I will design all doomsday machines myself. If I must hire a mad
scientist to assist me, I will make sure that he is sufficiently
twisted to never regret his evil ways and seek to undo the damage he's
caused.

22.I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's
just one thing I want to know."

23.When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to
their advice

24. I will not burst into mad laughter despite of its proven relaxing effect. If I find that absolutely unavoidable, I will do it in soundproof room, not in front of my lieutnants.

ah, that list.

[Karibu]

Yes, but I added that Last one.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

that isn't the full list. check out the website. http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html

it hasn't been updated in a year, though.

[Karibu]

Great! I see that laughter thing is in there too

[Atrocities]

I actually have a few on this list.

Back in 1997 the list was being circulated about on a few news Groups mail lists and I submitted several. They are in their, but have been re-written a bit.



To bad I was not listed in the credits.

I have started several lists, most recently the Additicted to SEIV one that we all have contributed to. (Well over 200 entries now)

Lists can be a lot of fun ans show off a lot of humor.

[Azselendor]

Has anyone started a list in the same theme of

"I learned how to live life from watching star trek"

In our case it would be "How I learned to live life from playing space empires"

[Erax]

Hmm...

Everything I Know I Learned Playing Space Empires.

1. Mineral planets are best.

2. Always trade before attacking.

Any more ?
