Overlord

As an Supervillian, Evil Overlord, Emperor of a great empire, Master of Darkness, Ruler of Everything, Guy bent on world domination, I have decided to compile a series of things which might be helpful to one who may be like me.
Most of these are challenging the fact that Overlords are stupid.
We are evil, not stupid.

The Compilation. # 1

Rule 1 - All of my Orbital Drop Shocktroopers/Stormtroopers of Doom / Legion of Darkness , will be trained to shoot a man sized figure at a range of at least 10 metres. Anyone who cant will be shot. ( Better yet, they will be used as target practice.)

Rule 2 - When i am about to shoot a captured hero/heroine/pack of heroes, and they ask if i am going to tell them what my evil plan is about, ill shoot him/her/them and then say No.

Rule 3- I will be secure with my superiority and sanity. I will not go around leaving perfectly solveble clues for the hero to find out

Rule 4 - I will never utter the sentence "Before I kill you, you should know..."

rule 5 - i will only hire assasins, mercenaries who do work for money, all the mercs and hired bounty hunters who do it for the " thrill" or "fun" tend to do stupid and are incompetent, handicapping himself to allow the hero a better fighting chance.

rule 6 - I will not be stupid . If I have an unstoppable super-weapon/ doomsday gun / magic stone, I will use it immediatly instead of putting it in reserve.

Rule 7 - I will have no Children. A son would eventually want to upsurp me . It is likely he will fail but he will incite a rebellion. A daughter would be as lovely as she was evil, but one good look at a handsome hero and there is no doubt she will betray me. If it is inevitable and either of this happens, i will have them shot


Compilation # 2 is on the way.
