Line 4:
Sanity may not be expected, but remember... '''[[Dangerously Genre Savvy|DANGEROUSLY GENRE SAVVY!]]''' (Seriously, I got a short way down and had to come up here to add this. Apparently, many tropers are not as genre aware as they think they are.)
 
Be sure to read [[Jack ButlersButler's Original Evil Overlord List|the original list]], as well as [[Evil Overlord List Cellblock A|Evil Overlord List Cellblocks A]] and [[Evil Overlord List Cellblock B|B]] and the [[Additional Evil Overlord List Cellblock A|Additional Evil Overlord List Cellblocks A]], [[Additional Evil Overlord List Cellblock B|B]] and, [[Additional Evil Overlord List Cellblock C|C]], [[Additional Evil Overlord List Cellblock D|D]], and [[Additional Evil Overlord List Cellblock E|E]] before adding to this list. Any minions found duplicating items from those lists will take a swim in the [[Shark Pool]].<ref>Minions thrown in the [[Shark Pool]] will have [[Nerf]]-covered ankle and leg shackles, and a bulletproof glass cover will be locked onto the top of the pool</ref> See also [[The Universal Genre Savvy Guide/Just for Fun|The Universal Genre Savvy Guide]].
 
Also, don't just add things villains have done that annoy you unless they're actually counterproductive to the [[Evil Scheme]].
Line 82:
** I will always use protection, and all the harem members will be on the pill. The last thing I need is bastard offspring trying to kill me and take my place. Or syphilis. That's no fun, either.
** Better yet - I just [[Take a Third Option|won't have a harem at all.]] Anything that requires this much effort to keep safe just isn't worth it.
***Still better I will give a lifetime stipend to the children of every woman in my harem. I will also marry at least one woman from each [[The Clan|clan]] in my empire or at least each clan that can field a minimum of [[Asskicking Equals Authority|a thousand warriors.]] I intend to make sure every oneeveryone in my kingdom knows I am their cousin. Once I have accounted for all the bride collecting I need for such matters there is plenty of time for my own personal pleasure.
*** If I need women that badly, I will just buy Pay-Per-View, or if such technology does not exist, a "Gold Pass" to the local Brothel (Preferably one on the payroll, or at least one who keeps track of who's working for them). They won't want one of their prime customers dead, and I will enter and leave while disguised.
** If I need to have a harem, for whatever reason, I will hire a mix of those aforementioned hot amazons (doubling as bodyguards) and regular prostitutes. They still would be required to occasionally have (protected) sex with me, but they will be allowed to come and go as they please, sleep otherwise with whoever they like (in secret), get lavished with gifts, and most importantly, their families will be well taken care of. Helping their sickly little sisters become healthy will be the real loyalty winners. The baubles will just be bonuses.
Line 279:
*** If I don't need access to the item, I'll either leave it sitting in my own vault or break it. Even a health potion sitting in the dungeon will help anyone going through it. Hell, I'll put it in my vault if I do need it.
* I will hire my lieutenants based on their knowledge of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War".
** [[The Thirty -Six StrategemsStratagems]] are also needed.
*** But they should have plenty of field experience. Ruperts that learned all they know from books tend to think everything goes exactly as planned.
* If I'm fighting a hero whose family, friends, or loved ones I murdered, I will not taunt them by telling them "[[Would You Like to Hear How They Died?|so-and-so begged me to spare his/her life]]". That's more than just flirting with death, that's raping him.
Line 312:
* After defeating the nearby, less [[Genre Savvy]] but [[Eviler Than Thou]] Overlord, if I find that there is [[The Cutie|a Cutie]] in process of [[Break the Cutie|breaking]], I will adopt her and have her train under same program with my other [[Ninja Maid]]s. This way, I will have a [[Morality Pet]] that can be useful, and since she has already seen a worse overlord, the risk of her pulling a [[Heel Face Turn]] is slim.
** I will also make sure to actually treat her as a [[Morality Pet]]. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|That way, if I die,]] the heroes might suddenly have to deal with a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]].
* When I decide to go "super-evil" And destroy an entire town with burning fire, I shall do it at the dead of night. If circumstances permit me only to destroy the town in the middle of the day, I will order my troops to check any nearby hills for possible [[Kid Hero|children of the people I'm killing,]] and shoot them on sight. The last thing I need is another kid having [[Doomed Hometown|a reason to try and kill me.]] And if my goons miss the kid, and they run into the town and happen to find me burning it up, AND I find out that the kid has some sort of sacred power, I shall kill him immediately. I shall not let him escape, I shall not say that he has a magic power, and above all, I SHALL NOT [[So Bad It's Horrible/FanficFan Works|GIVE THE STUPID RED HEDGEHOG A PAIR OF SPEED BOOTS!]], give him items or try to make him my minion. Something tells me that it will bite me later on if I do.
* If I decide to make a giant mech to smite my enemies, I shall make a hidden button that activates a [[Weak Point]]. I shall not press this button untill my enemies try to override my mech, at which point I will press the button, eject out of the cockpit, wait untill the heroes get into the mech... and then blast the [[Weak Point]] with a rocket launcher/[[Laser/BFG|BFG]] (Whichever is the best avalible.)
* If the hero has a One-Winged Angel form and attempts to use it on me, during the stage in which he goes "HRAAAAARGH" with a deep red glow i will immediately smash him to the floor with a swift haymaker punch.
Line 626:
** [[Final Fantasy XII|try to wreck half the planet just to piss off the gods (Preferably, one should get on their good side if they are JerkassGods).]]
** [[Final Fantasy XIII|or throw a suicidal temper tantrum that daddy left me and my 1 million siblings alone to run a shitty little utopia in the sky.]]
** ALL of this has been done in the past, and none of them ended well for the Evil Overlords running the show thanks to a combination of [[Save Scumming]], [[Designated Hero|Designated Heroes]], [[The Power of Friendship]]/[[The Power of Love|Love]], et cetera. At best, they should be referenced has lessons on what NOT to do. If Necromancy exists in my Universe, it might be prudent to have a word with these individuals, they may have failed, but they still might have some useful pointers as more experienced Overlords...Except the Clown...(The information will be taken with a grain of salt, after all, they are DEAD).
* Even if all my advisors agree that [[No One Could Survive That|no-one could survive the blow]] I have just dealt to the hero, I will still chop his head off for good measure.
* If I'm ever seriously injured, I will fake being knocked stupid.
Line 822:
*If I have a [[It Only Works Once|single-use superweapon]], and a choice between targeting some minor person who has annoyed me personally and an actual threat, I will put aside personal jealousy for a few seconds and target the actual threat.
