Evil Overlord Handbook Part Two

11. I will not order my trusted lieutenant to kill the infant who is
destined to overthrow me -- I'll do it myself.


12. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum -- a small
hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.


13. I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to
prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker
enemies alive to show they pose no threat.


14. I will not waste time making my enemy's death look like an accident -
I'm not accountable to anyone and my other enemies wouldn't believe it
anyway.


15. I will make it clear that I do know the meaning of the word "mercy"; I
simply choose not show them any.


16. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws
in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before
implementation.


17. All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of
ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the
cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying
celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.


18. My undercover agents will not have tattoos identifying them as members
of my organization, nor will they be required to wear military boots or
adhere to any other dress codes.


19. The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any
other form of last request.


20. I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find
that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to activate
when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his plan into
operation.
