Line 32:
* I shall [[Conservation of Ninjitsu|always attack the heroes with one or two of my best men.]] That, or screw [[Mook Chivalry]] and mob him.
* I will remember that any [[Redshirt Army|enemy soldiers]] that are not the hero or in the hero's company are incapable of reliably capturing me, killing me, or otherwise doing anything that could jeopardize my health or my ability to be an [[Evil Overlord]]. Therefore, I will face an entire army of tanks, snipers, choppers, and [[Cool Plane|planes]] instead of facing [[The Hero]] if I am given the alternatives.
**I will also remember that it's possible that the hero has joined this army secretly or that the author may desire to [[Author Tract|make a point about the fleetingness of power]]. As such, I will not do anything to stupid, such as standing in clear view and yelling "You cannot stop me now!"
* I will read Machiavelli's ''The Prince'', before taking over anything, country, world, or otherwise. I will remember that Machiavelli never took over the world, nor built an empire that would last forever. Therefore, I will need to make some improvements to his ideas. I will also consider the possibility that Machiavelli's ''The Prince'' is satire.
* I will know that the best defence is the [[Status Quo Is God|status quo]] so i will use it against the hero and do everything in my power to maintain it.
