The Top 100 Things I'd Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord

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

It wouldn't work just as well... but it makes sense if your threat model is that people will escape after you've already caught them.

You don't want them to know what you were doing in your inner sanctum, or to break out any prisoners.

Actually, that's the puzzle piece which everything locks to - the person who wrote this list was paranoid about people escaping after they've already been captured. They're giving up the chance to seduce heroes to evil or make them scream or use them against their allies and all of the fun things that overlords do in Chellish fiction after they've captured someone, because they're so worried about chance of an escape.

Just like how in Chellish fiction it's agents of evil who are prone to daring escapes. It's because Earth fiction follows the good guys, escapes are exciting, and they give authors a chance to ratchet up the stakes without permanently killing characters.

This is so dumb.

And Choryon is saying that Ileosa's a character in an Earth book.

11. 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.

You can't just DECIDE to be secure in your superiority. 

This is the analogous trope to how in Chellish novels the good guys let their weaker enemies off out of "mercy," but then the hero of the story gets stronger or smarter and fights them again and wins.

That's so weird.

Twelve?

12. 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.

Okay, villains from books are usually idiots. But she doesn't need to follow this rule, right? Since she isn't?

Everyone needs to follow the rule.

Fine.

I guess five year old children aren't exactly hard to source.

Thirteen?

13. 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.

And petrified or soul-trapped if it's really important, since in this version of Golarion you can't bind and stab petitioners.

...You can't petrify or soul-trap everyone, though, and by narrative convention whoever you decide aren't important will be the ones who overthrow you...

She'll think on it. Fourteen?

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

This precludes the possibility of some of her favorite romance tropes.

I don't think the real world works that way.

It does if you can cast suggestion.

Fifteen?

Skippable. 

16. I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's just one thing I want to know."

These are a lot of words across many separate bullet points to say, "I won't do anything fun if it in any way involves someone who dislikes me."

Seventeen?

17. When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.

Is it really?

Would I lie to you?

I am listening, though.

I'm pissing and moaning about it, but I am also listening. 

I never said you weren't. That really is number seventeen.

Just as long as we're clear.

Eighteen?
