Ah, rules to live by.

#100 it seems to be already working...
Bendorff
That 5 year old with all your codes, passwords and plans surely wont be a problem
ColonelColon
I mean some of these are good and others are impossible/impractical/stupid.
Braveemink
So basically a dictator instead of a fictional character?
Antermosiph
Book series called "Dark Lords Handbook' is almost an entire book based on these tropes. Book tries to make an evil overlord be... smart.
MadDocOc
Sorry OP. Rule #020 is a deal breaker. Maniacal Laughter is what Villainy is all about.
MandaloreTheDefiler
Don't forget monologues.

Actually, face concealing masks allows the legions of terror to commit more terrible atrocities via deindividuation

Evil Overlord Rules #000 I will include a TL;DR at the end
ThePortugeeseInquisition
TL;DR, be faster, kill more people, kill more people faster, keep important things not together.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Okay tl:dr don't be a clichéd moron
redraptor64
That's not very evil....

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6d/Lord_Vetinari.jpg Possibly the only evil overlord who follows these rules.
feelingalittleoutofplace
But what's the point of being evil if you have to follow all these rules?
Hybris51129
Because you will have a long profitable career of being evil over a short one ended by some roaming "Hero".

Evil overlord rule #1 by equityforpunks: I will not tell my rules to anyone ever..

Evil Overlord Rule #1: I won't outline my plans on social media like some fucking amateur
Janusha
Load 90 images... It is now 2018 and I have forgotten the first 70
Dustybin314
I'd write 'Project Overlord' on a DVD and leave it on top of a desk. When the hero tries to use the DVD, they find it's actually a ZIP bomb
BunniesLair
101 - I will employ a system wide EMP and WiFi Drone Killing grid that can be activated by my cell phone in case of attacks.
MondayMooseMemes
"Load 90 more images". I would like to be an evil overlord but that's alot of work.
ProxyPlayerHD
Just use your Brain and kill the Hero before he even leaves Kokiri Forest.

The only place "evil empire" comes before "hard work" is in the dictionary.

same ^^

why do you think there is no evil overlord yet, all the candidates are to lazy to read these tips
EvilLesbian
Um, excuse you, have you never heard of the Gay Agenda?

My orbital laser and mercenary armies are ready. Now, to take over the world's oil supply...

I haven't read these since 2008......

I think it was 2004 or so for me hah

The list originated on USENet. Heck, #99 originally stated that all important files would be padded to 1.45mb.
MostIndeedlySo
Nowadays the crucial file is mixed up with a collection of a trillion memes.
Keronin
I was somewhat disappointed with the revision, but I'm sure kids these days wouldn't get the joke.

#25 was fixed by Rogue One yo
dav3nasty
TLDR. Be a dictator. kill anyone that threatens your rule keep the masses happy.
FlockOfSeagulls25
Machiavelli?
TheKingOfConquerors
And don't fall for classic villain tropes.
FindusSomKatten
if you keep the masses happy at what point do you stop being the villain?
learntocookforone
smaller ducts? that's going to cost more fan power... Not a very energy conscious evil overlord
rylecx
Pretty sure this was covered the thousand times it was posted but #1 is intended for a good reason. Unity intimidation and dehumanization
SigneowTheCat
I assume that they're intending their legion of doom to be a well received and pleasant force, akin to police, in the minds of the people.
rylecx
military police with subjugation tactics at time are the best option for a budding overlord
KeyClavis
#99 could be difficult. I have a MicroSD that holds 128GB. I also have a hollow 50 cent coin that will hold said card.
KeyClavis
And I just looked... you can get them in 512GB now too. You can get them online for as little as ~$60. Spies rejoice!
thislooksfun
I have a 4tb hdd that I can stick in my pocket. Backpack full of 50-100 of those? Good luck.
ScrotieMcpostagain
You've taken all the fun out f Evil Overlording. Anyone want to play Teletubbies?
GlassCannon570
Lasers. Now.
Sjp770
Why clear Plexi masks? The Legion of clones is more intimidating. Making sure they can see to aim though... That's another point altogether
SigneowTheCat
It's so that they aren't dehumanized. If people can see that your legion of doom are also people and not just drones, it's easier to relate.
Sjp770
One side: you want to hurt a real person less. Otherside: they just keep coming.. they're unstoppable
SigneowTheCat
Mhm. Different approaches to evil overlord. One's the kind that's trying to be approachable and keep people happy. The other wants to be 1/2
SigneowTheCat
intimidating and keep people scared to oppose him. Each is effective in their own way. 2/2
Sjp770
That first one doesn't qualify for the evil part though...overlord maybe
SirFormidio
Faceless masks are a valid intimidation tactic and allow soldiers to commit atrocity while also maintaining deniability.
AnOceanOfStars
If one needs troops, odd weapons, or even to use his voice, he has already failed as an evil overlord.
DarthMaelstrymLightbreaker
Make some that give both, and good field of vision, and an intimidating anonymity. 1-way mirrors or what ever they're called come to mind.
BronzeLeaguePro
Just look at AntiFA and their black bloc.
ToastyMozart
Face-concealing masks for unsavory/deniable ops, face-displaying masks for guard duty and pseudo-legal activities.
Frappo
Detachable masks. Wear 'em on while you're out painting the town red, off when at home with the homies.
silvirus
Aren't *most* masks detachable, though...?
Stoneagedudeman
This man thought it through. I look forward to competing with your evil nation.
PowwerOrb13
That way the hero can't kill those on the defensive without seeing their faces, but those doing killing can maintain stable psychosis
Sauroctonus
Did you know: https://dyn0.media.forbiddenplanet.com/products/124579b.jpg.jpg
PSUTerra
Maybe have one-way mirror face masks. That way you can see out but nobody can see in. The last thing the victim would see is their own face.
Remmon1
The point of #1 is preventing the Hero from stealing a uniform and walking into your base. Face concealing masks are fine outside base.
PSUTerra
That is a good point... I figured it was to prevent your troops from having their vision obstructed by poorly designed headgear.
Exousa
On the other hand, it makes it easier for heroes to see them as faceless mooks and not people just doing a job. pros and cons either way
Freaknik48
The "Heroes" don't care. We all know the rebels are terrorists, killing family's that lives on the deathstar.
spLagger
Yea I was going to say, dehumanizing and anonymity is way more devious the seeing a person face.
thatguy10095
The dehumanizing factor is more of a Hollywood thing, to make the hero still a hero when he brutally kills the faceless henchmen.
spLagger
This^
GreenYawgmoth
I want my soldiers to know what they're doing.
Sauroctonus
I'd rather they had limited vision but with facial armour. So they don't get shot in the face.
Odiin46
1-way mirrors and surfaces are a thing
asm80dfa8sdfj
1 way mirrors don't "exist", (they're called 2-way mirrors btw) - it works off of the principals of light.. differential? the inside of the
asm80dfa8sdfj
mask is darker than the outside, so you can't see in. But you can see out. It won't be different from the visor thing.
