Hey, all. I'm in the middle of reading Peter's Evil Overlord List (http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html), and I can't help but note that some of the rules are references to games and movies we know, so for the Hell of it, shall we list the references down here?
Oh yeah, one more thing:
This Evil Overlord List is Copyright 1996-1997 by Peter Anspach. If you enjoy it, feel free to pass it along or post it anywhere, provided that (1) it is not altered in any way, and (2) this copyright notice is attached.
Rule 1: Stormtroopers...and they can't aim properly.
Rule 2: Another Star Wars reference? Or was it James Bond? Mission Impossible, perhaps? :nervous:
Rule 6: Bond and the Neo-Terran Front.
Rule 7: James Bond?
Rule 11: The Joker?
Rule 13: King Elessar, aka. Aragorn, who fell off a cliff.
Rule 15: Austin Powers and that "Lay-zer".
Rule 21: Orcs, Stormtroopers, the Galactic Terran Alliance, you name it.
Rule 23: Take it on the side of the Humans if they force an EMP to go off. :drevil:
Rule 24: Who has watched episode 62 of D. Gray-Man?
Rule 25: Descent ][, final boss. Moron.
Rule 36: Umm, Star Wars again?
Rule 38: Skywalker!
Rule 39: Oh, hi, Sauron. Lost your One Ring? Serves you right. :drevil:
Rule 40: Gundam SEED?
Rule 45: Star Wars again?
Rule 47: Skywalker again, although the problem here is that Darth Vader still has feelings. :blah:
Rule 52: Hogwarts is quite a nice target... :drevil:
Rule 56: Stormtroopers again. They shoot like I do. :blah:
Rule 62: The Death Star as quite a lot of those. In fact, the UNIVERSE has a lot of those.
Rule 69: Star Wars! Obi-Wan! Wesnoth! Delfador! Snow White! Aurora! :wtf:
Rule 75: Classic. Star Wars and Austin Powers again? Throw Agent Aika to the list too, if you've watched a drunk man knock out a group of ladies with his head, a microphone, and his elbow. :drevil:
Rule 80: Star Wars again?
Rule 84: Austin Powers again?
That's everything I an think of. I don't know or forgot the references to the rest. Feel free to add on to this list.

What the **** are you on about?

The Evil Overlord List (http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html)
He's comparing each entry to a movie/game.
Most of those apply to James Bond and Star Wars, tho.
-
I was eating dinner, dammit. :ick:
I've just found another 156 things the author would do if he were an evil overlord. That's a total of 256 rules.
-
I would set up my base, Commit no initial theft of nuke/experimental weapons or craft in the opening five minutes (Thus leaving no trail for the good guys) develop my own weapon. Make no
demands. Attack without regard indiscriminately, and i mean EVERYTHING. Simply pick up all the gold / treasure riches :)
-
I would simply just do a Lucifer and glass the entire area once done stealing whatever it is I need.

I will provide funding and research to develop a full range of tactical and strategic weapons so my choices are not limited to "hand to hand combat with swords" and "blow up the planet."
-
Ah, yes, I forgot that rule. Also, I believe there was a line about not slaughtering innocents unneccesarily. Therefore, I shall be like Revan, picking my targets carefully, avoiding damage to civilian population centers and economic centers, striking specifically at military targets.

...or you could adhere to BETAC... :drevil:

I prefer to be like Malak: Strike hard and with no quarter, nothing vents anger better than total planetary bombardment.

You should never slaughter innocents. They'll just come back and haunt you until you kick it.

They you just make sure to slaughter all the innocents, so there's nobody left to come back. Sheesh, do I need to think of everything?

There'll always be innocents. Might as well just glass all the people not in your organization.

I always thought of Malak like a kid. Just because he couldn't catch Bastila and Revan, he decides to throw a tantrum and nukes Taris.

Even people in your organisation could very well turn on you!

Brainwashing, my dear Wobble. Brainwashing. Plus a mind control chip for added security.
-
But that's slavery and slaves will always find a way to overthrow their oppressors. Life will find a way! :P
-
Nu uh. Its brain washing. Not slavery!
Oh you know what, I'll just be nice to all the innocents and be a just and good ruler with a streak of cruelty and evil.

That's how the world is. :drevil:

I look at my post, and I shall sum it up in a phrase:
"Be a nicer Bush"

Oh, but thats just a orbital bombardment, the planet still gonna be there after it, the people wont. :p

Did you read the copyright?
-
I just did; fixed. I'm not modifying the list in any way, so the first rule doesn't apply.
-
I was talking more about the copyright date, than the copyright itself.
-
Watching SW Ep 2 atm. That rule about not taunting your opponents seems to apply heavily here. If I caught a bunch of Jedi, I'd just have them shot, instead of trying to execute them in a pit fight.

The thing is, it probably would have worked if the Jedi and the Clones didn't appear later.
-
Nope. The pit fight failed. It was the 6 destroyer droids that woulda stopped them.

And if the 6 destroyer droids failed, then Poggle would've sent in the rest of the droid army that he had in reserve (which he later deployed to fight the clones).
-
Still, you have to wonder if he hadn't already anticipated the fight would fail. I mean, I doubt he'd have a battalion of SBD's and B1s in the wings just for the fun of it.
-
Funny to see this thread today after having just finished reading The Watchmen. Great quote near the end (paraphrasing) "Do you think I would have allowed you anywhere near me if there was any way you could stop me? I did it 35 minutes ago." And this pre-dates the Overlord list by 7-8 years.

In JAD3, Terran Frakking Command should have shut the frak up so that Alpha 1 couldn't find him. :drevil:
