Title: Guide bad guys should follow.
Post by: N_Element on May 06, 2005, 02:42:26 AM
I was very amused by this and thought some others would enjoy as well.  I think Moredew and Nicademus (sp?) will especially enjoy!

It's so hard to build a good, devious bad guy these days.  Does anyone smell anything? Naw . . . let's go attack that flint golem over there with our metal weapons! ;)

I think it was called "Seven Habits of Highly Effective Evil Overlords."

There are some more in the cellblocks at http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html

Ah the Evil Overlord list
That is a true piece of on-line history
older than the Internet itself

Legend has it, that it began on a use-net list... Much like the BOFH Tales..
Over time, the simple top 10 list was added to by other members of that usenet list.  In the deep places of the net, where the pure go not, there lie versions with over a thousand listings!  Though some of those repeat.

Over time, the list has passed from group to group to group
each exchange, helping to shape it more... It has had many masters, even G. Gordon Liddy has quoted it.  
And now, it has come to the TWG.

The list must be destroied!  But none of us posess the craft to destroy it!  Only in the flame-wars of Usenet, where it was forged, can it be unmade.  
One of us, must do this.....
