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 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.
