Nudge two hundred and sixteen
216. If my Legions of Terror are defeated in a battle, I will quietly withdraw and regroup instead of launching a haphazard mission to assassinate the hero.

Nudge two hundred and seventeen
217. If I'm wearing the key to the hero's shackles around my neck and his former girlfriend now volunteers to be-come my mistress and we are all alone in my bedchamber on my bed and she offers me a goblet of wine, I will politely decline the offer.

Nudge two hundred and eighteen
218. I will not pick up a glowing ancient artifact and shout "Its power is now mine!!!" Instead I will grab some tongs, transfer it to a hazardous materials container, and transport it back to my lab for study.

Nudge two hundred and nineteen
219. I will be selective in the hiring of assassins. Anyone who attempts to strike down the hero the first instant his back is turned will not even be considered for the job.

Nudge two hundred and twenty
220. If I have a single vulnerability, I will fake a different one -- for example, ordering all mirrors removed from the palace, screaming and flinching whenever someone accidentally holds up a mirror, etc. In the climax when the hero whips out a mirror and thrusts it at my face, my reaction will be "Hmm...I think I need a shave." heart

Nudge two hundred and twenty-two
222. I reserve the right to execute any henchmen who appear to be a little too intelligent, powerful, or devious. How-ever if I do so, I will not at some subsequent point shout "Why am I surrounded by these incompetent fools?!" heart

Nudge two hundred and twenty-four
224. I will build machines which simply fail when over-loaded, rather than wiping out all nearby henchmen in an explosion or setting off a chain reaction. I will do this by using devices known as "surge protectors".

Nudge two hundred and twenty-five
225. I will explain to my guards that most people have their eyes in the front of their heads and thus while searching for someone it makes little sense to draw a weapon and slowly back down the hallway. heart

Nudge two hundred and twenty-six
226. I will have a staff of competent detectives handy. If I learn that someone in a certain village is plotting against me, I will have them find out who rather than wipe out the entire village in a preemptive strike.

228. If the hero claims he wishes to confess in public or to me personally, I will remind him that a notarized deposition will serve just as well. heart

Nudge two hundred and twenty-nine
229. If I have several diabolical schemes to destroy the hero, I will set all of them in motion at once rather than wait for them to fail and launch them successively. heart

Nudge two hundred and thirty
230. I will not put off any ritual granting immortality. heart
And that's it for the Evil Overlord section. The next part deals with the Hero and features a mini section about starship captains. ^^ I do admit that I don't like this section as much as the first one but I seem to have a huge affection for first things and prefer them above all others. sweatdrop
