The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Became An Evil Overlord, Part 17
83. If a group of henchmen fail miserably at a task, I will not berate them for incompetence then send the same group out to do the task again.
84. After I capture the hero’s super weapon, I will not disband legions and relax my guard because I believe whoever holds the weapon is unstoppable. After all, the hero held the weapon and I took it from him.
85. I will not design my main control room so that every workstation is facing away from the door.
86. I will not ignore the messenger that stumbles in exhausted and obviously agitated until my personal grooming or current entertainment is finished. It might actually be important.
87. If I ever talk to the hero on the phone, I will not taunt him. Instead, I will say that his dogged perseverance has given me new insight on the futility of my evil ways and that if he leaves me alone for a few months of quiet contemplation I will likely return to the path of righteousness. (Heroes are incredibly gullible in this regard.)
