Inspired 由 Peter's Evil Overlord 列表 - a 列表 of dos and don'ts for evil overlords based on classic mistakes 由 such. I'm only 写作 down a few things that have been really bugging me, mostly Marik and Bakura centered, so feel free to add anything that's been annoying 你 in your comments! Just follow the format 你 see in the one I write.

#1: If I have two of my nemesis' best 老友记 mind controlled, I'll have one of them get him alone and stab him. I will not make one challenge him to a children's card game.

#2: If my nemesis seems really anxious for me to do something that I think will further my plot, I will stop and re-examine the situation before proceeding. They probably don't have my best interests at heart.

#3: If a fake card I've created has fried the brains of at least 50% of the people who used it, I will not make my beloved foster brother use it.

#4: Forget that. Just don't have a foster brother in the first place. Nothing but trouble.

#5: If my goody-two-shoes host is controlling my left hand at a critical juncture, I will not blithely assume that things will be fine if I 移动 the computer out of my left hand's reach. I will excuse myself from the 表 momentarily for some duct tape and secure 说 hand to the table, preventing any annoyances.

#6: If I have an alter ego that wants to kill me, I will visit a competent psychiatrist. The 超能英雄 will have no excuse to help me out, and I won't have to ally with them.

#7: If my nemesis is less than five feet tall, I stand at least a head and a half taller than him, and he is extremely shrimpy from doing nothing but play card games all 日 long whereas I actually have some muscles, I will not conduct long and elaborate plans to beat him through card games. I will 冲床 him in the face and take his puzzle because there's not a friggin' thing he can do about it.

#8: I will not promise my unstable ally my
super-special-awesome family heirloom rod that controls minds, because this is something I'll probably end up regretting. I will instead offer him my sister, who is worth less to my evil plan. He's gotta be lonely after 3000 years in a ring.

#9: I will do something about the hair and eyes changes that occur when I take over from my host. Maybe contacts and hair gel. Nobody's noticed yet, but 你 never know, I could meet someone with eyesight.

#10: If I'm about to kill/interrogate someone and I'm called, I'll just say 'Be there in a minute' and finish up. Punctuality is not that important.


So, there's my 10 cents. Wanna see if we can get it up to 100 YGO Villain Dos and Don'ts?
