Line 736:
* I'll contemplate tossing out a few of these [[I Am Legion|other personalities]], their pursuit of genre savviness seems to be edging me more and more towards being a genuinly good leader instead of an evil overlord.
** To quote [[Ben Croshaw]];
{{quote| ''A truly evil ruler would build up a facade' of goodness to lull the people into a false sense of security, then BAM! off-world slavery.''}}
 
*** As well, even if I don't intend to go as far as off-world slavery, I'm going to make a clear distinction about the job to everybody. I am an evil overlord, not a [[Jerkass]] by trade. If I must or want to kick a few puppies, so be it. But if I can prevent making everybody so unhappy that a [[Genghis Gambit|HERO CAN COME ALONG AND GET EVERYBODY TO RALLY AGAINST ME BECAUSE OF MY BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THEM]], then I'm all the better for it. Nothing wrong with a doomsday plot here, or a mass murdering there, but because my long-term goal is to become an overlord rather than a villain, having people who actually like me would help in the long run.
