Title: World Domination

World Domination in 13 Easy Steps

Time-consuming, and more difficult in some spots than others, but definately a good basis to begin work on World Domination for Dummies.  Either that, or when I try to get myself committed, it will look great on my resume.  :D

Okay, now we worry. I'm not sure which side of the line seperating geniuses from lunatics this guy is on, but either way, it's definately cause to worry. --Ed.

"Ed." in Scorched Lore and my news posts is a fictional editor, not Inquisitor.  :P

I still have a chance at this, but I am the kind of person who usually operates from behind the scenes. ;7

This is all crap!  I didn't even do half of those things when I took over the world.

Uh, tried to take over the world, that is.  Right.  

Must remember to have board members executed next week.

9) People are probably beginning to think of you as a big, mean, nasty oppressor of independent nations, so stand down the troops. Maybe even grant one of your most recent acquired territories their renewed independence. When their economy falters, offer to let them back in, and suddenly you're Captain Friendly again, and your campaign to "absorb and help" these tiny nations is vindicated. Build your popularity back up again before proceeding. You'll need support to keep step 10 from going the way of the Treaty of Versailles.


Hmmm... I can sooo see that kind of thing happen with the Palestinians and Israel. The world doesn't realize how much they depend on us - for water, electricity and food, among other things - when they scream that they need their own state. So say they get their state, and collapse into the depths of a catastrophic economic disaster, namely: no water, no food, and no electricity.

Hmm, nice strategy. Now just get your government to implement it.

I'm afraid it's relatively unavoidable - despite all the noise the Arab states make about the plight of their Palestinian brothers, the only "help" they send is more ammo and explosives. I doubt they'll ever start sending food and water. :doubt:

Truly, the Palestinians are in a sad position.

A good first step would be for you guys to vote the Butcher of Beirut out and have someone more diplomatic in power.

Nah, a diplomatic guy (such as Barak) would just lead to further problems; a Stalin-like guy is good for wartime. :D

Sharon and Arafat- ain't they cute?:D

I say we need to put the two of them in a room together and have them fight for domination of Palestine and Israel.

Sharon would probably win a hand-to-hand, but I'd imagine both would sneak in weapons.
