It's 'Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord', created from the guy who posted this seeing that all evil overlords (in BG&E's case, both the Alpha Sections and the Domz Priest) make the same basic mistakes every single time. And yes, they did make the same mistakes. I looked just for kicks, and here's what the AS and DP did wrong...

1. "My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones." Alpha Sections: faces concealed. One of the things Jade was asked to fix in the factory mission.

7. "When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No." I think here of the part right before the final fight with the priest where he's talking and talking and doing other things that don't involve kicking the crap out of Jade and eventually Jade finally whips out the Dai-Jo and it's all downhill from there.

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." Pey'j. Nuff said.

19. "I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was evil, but one look at the hero's rugged countenance and she'd betray her own father." Jade doesn't fit the description, but... yeah.

21. "I will hire a talented fashion designer to create original uniforms for my Legions of Terror, as opposed to some cheap knock-offs that make them look like Nazi stormtroopers, Roman footsoldiers, or savage Mongol hordes. All were eventually defeated and I want my troops to have a more positive mind-set." Alpha Sections. They look like other stormtroopers- the Star Wars ones- if those troopers decided one day to dress in black.

27. "I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times." Kheck blew the only communication device up. He might have wanted another that wasn't on the moon.

42. "When I capture the hero, I will make sure I also get his dog, monkey, ferret, or whatever sickeningly cute little animal capable of untying ropes and filching keys happens to follow him around." When the Alpha Sections blew up the lighthouse, they screwed up here by not grabbing Woof while they were at it. It didn't come back to haunt them, so they got lucky, but still.

62. "I will design fortress hallways with no alcoves or protruding structural supports which intruders could use for cover in a firefight." Dude. They're all over the place. Even at the moon base, you had large steel supports you could hide behind.

67. "No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency." Ummmm.... 'It's coming from over there! I'm going!' .... 'Nothing.'

70. "When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner." Meaning Jade wouldn't be able to pick them off one by one with the disks.

75. "I will instruct my Legions of Terror to attack the hero en masse, instead of standing around waiting while members break off and attack one or two at a time." The priest screwed up. During that final fight, it's little wave after little wave. Just pull out every Domz you can contact and say 'Yo! Need some help here!' Then immediately take Pey'j and Double H out, do the clone thing, and pop them in there too instead of one at a time. That way instead of small, manageable waves, Jade would have to go through a huge horde of Domz, the Pey'j clones, and the Double H clones all at once before getting to the priest.

And going past the first 100...

108. "Any and all magic and/or technology that can miraculously resurrect a secondary character who has given up his/her life through self sacrifice will be outlawed and destroyed." This would be Jade herself, which... yeah.

109. "I will see to it that plucky young lads/lasses in strange clothes and with the accent of an outlander shall REGULARLY climb some monument in the main square of my capital and denounce me, claim to know the secret of my power, rally the masses to rebellion, etc. That way, the citizens will be jaded in case the real thing ever comes along." Had the Alpha Sections done that, the Iris Network never would have gotten shred one of credibility.

194. "I will make several ludicrously erroneous maps to secret passages in my fortress and hire travellers to entrust them to aged hermits." Meaning Jade wouldn't be able to trust those maps she got scanned with the camera.

Just thought this would be fun to look at.

Haha, pretty sweet. I done somthing like that, half finshed "101 things to do in an expensive restauraunt." Heh.

Dude, that is evil. It's true that evil villains always screw these sort of things up in the movies and nowadays in games too. Dr. Evil in Austin Powers is a wonderful parody of the cliché-villain. Kheck, the priest and their troops are no exception on this cliché-thing, and that's what makes them so cool! :D

Lol. But you know, somethings do have their negatives if you really do look at them from a distance(Cause beating bad guys is my thing :D )

1. I have no idea what you meant by that clear plexi glass thing, but if they did that, wouldn't the citizens of Hillys become enraged cause of the ugliness?(No offence Alphas. Your all beautiful inside.) Besides, they look more menacing that way.

7. ...Good point. But when you have all this power in your hand, why kill such a worthy foe in such a pointless shoot out? You can do so much!! Just make sure you do it right.

13. ...Yeah. True. Leaves more of a shocker.

19. Until BG&E2 comes out, we'll never know...But who could resist the take of a 5 o'clock shadow?

21. One word: Money. Sure, you may spikes protruding out of a grunt's armor, with fancy colors the human eye hasn't seen, and maybe even a Gucci bag to match, but do you know how much that would cost?! But hey, I'm not going to take over the world anytime soon. Your money.

27. Again. Money. And resources. To build a nuclear weapon in a desired time rate, you would have to really hussle to get the required resources, plot attempts(and screwups because of some unlikely hero), and space to get it all. Not to mention security. Sure, you could have the second unprotected in some gulch, but would you really want to? Not to mention, would you be alive to activate if the first one went down?

42. Can't argue with that. But sometimes the animal is too infatuated with its master to be trained in the arts of evil. Better to just eat it. I've seen one too many occurences of Evil masters who had the world in a key-stroke all taken away because its stolen animal from the Hero had a conscience/skills/magic key up its butt.

62. Oooo...that's going to cost you big time. You would definitly need an architect to build something like that, but remember, those same alcoves, places to hide, etc. Your grunts can use the same things. Just cause they are grunts does not mean all of them have to be stupid. Somewhere along the line you may happen to have a smart grunt using cover wisely, tracking down his/her/its foe, and then destroying it. If the good side can do it, so can evil.

67. For the first few months, that could be good to do. However, if many false alarms happen, Grunt morale will go down everytime an alarm or camera spots something unfamiliar. They'll get sloppy. Or run into a trap. Or worse...sue you for overwork.

70. Make all grunts go through 'Advanced Training'. That way they'll think faster, quicker, with more experience under their belt. Just cause two guards are searching for a suspect doesn't mean it's impossible for the person to knock them down.

75. The whole horde technique. Depends on what you have to throw at your enemies(the good guys). If you got the creatures from Aliens at your disposal, then your in luck. Keep throwing at them at the good guys until each and everyone of them has a facehugger and a smile. However, sending a whole army to take care of one pest makes a commander/general/evil scientist look bad. Makes them look weak. YOUR EVIL! YOUR NOT WEAK!! So use all your craft and wit to take them out...otherwise, get those Aliens. Greatest mad invention of all time.

108. Don't forget save, check points!

109. ...Hmm...true...but it can also have a backfire. People could actually see it as a symbol of truth and may even see behind your mask. Better to live one lie instead of two. Less complications.

194. Good tactic to use but only if you have a very complicated fortress with many, many, many doors. If not, your better not having maps at all. Would hate for some Black Knight for a far off galaxy with a million Hero deaths under their belt to fall into a pit trap because you forgot which maps were real and which were the total fake ones.

...Now I have one question to ask you...what does this say about me? :huh: :blink:

Says we both have way too much free time.

:lol: Better to have much free time then no time at all.

Amen to that.

I wish I could be an evil genius, instead I'm just evil. But I CAN put up a good evil voice, and my evil laugh approaches that of the great Dr. Evil.

hehe... this gives me an idea for a new game...

Ehm...you are COMPLETELY evil and you are an evil genius;) I know...

Been there, done that, and I am still alive! :arr: (Well, in Fable that is.... :P, but I did become an evil overlord, which is feared by the people and hailed by the bandits)
Also make sure that anyone with the potential to beat you gets killed, also don't have anyone as your student.... They tend to betray you.

That's it for now folks :P!

Kill the weak as an example, then the strong will obey you:P and then when it is a stormy night let someone kill them ^_^ (thats were henchmen are for:P)

Henchmen are generally stupid. I've got stuffed animals working for me, way more intelligent. And original, an evil genius has to be original, or he isn't considered an evil genius. Plus, they're good at sneaking because they're soft and little, which is good because my evil organisation does a lot of secret missions all around the globe. You wouldn't believe the information I've got from governments all around the world. This is one way to achieve power: blackmail. But I've already said too much, and since I like you guys I don't want to say anymore. I just may have to kill you then.

Ohw, you won't kill me.... I have evil henchmen made out of sheep and gigantic 3D printer(long story..... :P).

Oh, I know all about that plan, the evil yet moronic monkey with the yellow hair filled me in. We keep in contact from time to time. I AM the one with the giant laser on the moon, you know. So you better not make me angry. Because when I get angry, Mrs. Tuffie gets upset, and when Mrs. Tuffie gets upset, people DIE!!! Not that you care about that, you'll join me in the killing, wouldn't you? I have seen that glance in your eyes, the eyes of a killer!

Oh yeah, I know a few things about being evil.

Sure...
HEEJ wait I have got an EVIL idea why not join hands, make an evil organisation. With the al of us evil overlords that must work...because when we have taken over the world we force ubisoft to make a sequal

MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

...

...

Now that's evil isn't it:P

Off course, I'll join you, because together WE WILL OVERCOME!!!! :sinister:
But that doesn't mean I won't watch my back, evil accomplices are not to be trusted, especially you with your stealth skills..... :ph43r:
but he, you'll probably think the same of me, so we cool?

Nah, to many evil geniusses it would never work, we would start killing each other, and then I and Denden would be the only survivors :P.

Dude....now we evil overlords finally have a purpose and then you ruin everything

....

....

damm you are evil

Face it, Wazzupdude: you're not quite evil enough. You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the Diet Coke of evil, just one calorie, not evil enough.

Ehm....yeah....you guys are so damm evil...you make a forum to promote BGE, but eventually you're just stopping ubi from making a sequal.......that's evil dude :S ....wait you aren't actually domz....aren't you....guys????

Nah, DomZ are just dumb, just like the Alpha Sections. They are clichéd evil villains, while we are evil geniuses.

Ow.... 0:) I am srry for that mistake...well can I compare you with Goldmember :P ;) You know that evil dutchman from Austin Powers

But I don't have a key as a winkie, and I'm more evil and weird than him, and smarter too!

Well, evil yes, weird, yes but smarter....I don't agree with that ;) because an evil overlord doesn't conquer the world trough posting on a forum :P

Oh, ignorant one, you just can't seem to see beyond the veil of the forum. Look deeper into the darkness, and maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to see the genius of my plan. IF you can see my plan at all.

Ha! Ye of little faith, that's exactly what we want you to believe. And that's why you will never become a truly evil overlord. MHUHAHAHAHA :sinister:

:ph43r: *Dissapears with his awesome ninja skills* :ph43r:

Where did he go? :blink: Wow, that's fast.

This topic is really nice to discuss how to be truly evil, it started out with really cool stuff about where the DomZ and Alpha Sections f****d up, and we're just expanding on that subject a bit, in a weird way.

ehm...yeah indeed...but it is funny :D But it is not were thie topic is about is it?

dudes you might be evil, but i'm the genius, nobody even considered me, and isn't the greatest feat the devil ever pulled making ppl think he didn't exist?

it's always the most nondescript guy who betrays you

plus i got an army of geneticly mutated pirate ninja-monkey's backed by armies of chuck norris clones, nobody expects that the evil guys followed up by even more evil guys, which they considder to be good ("can i have your autograph?..." -innocent little girls last words)

and finally i will take over the world, nay, the multiverse using PIJAMA"S

yeah, suck on that!

....

....

*Yawn*

Wow...dude...that's evil
and WTF are you going to do with pijama's....

Pijama's are nothing, just you wait and see what I can do with tights and an army of natural talking stuffed guerilla-animals and kung-fu puppets with an attitude and a BAD temper. They are awesome!

Just wait until I trained all the dogs to take over the world....

...

...

STOP LICKING...stop....stop

Dogs are no match for my killer rabbits! :bunny:
:bunny: :bunny: :bunny:
:bunny: :bunny: :bunny: :bunny: :bunny:
:bunny:
:bunny: :bunny: :bunny: :bunny: The most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodents you'll ever set your eyes on!

...you are right... ;) KILLER RABITS RULESZZZZ!!!!

ehm...by the way where was this topic about, because I have the smallest idea that it wasn't about us.....

The topic was a bit about what the villains in BG&E did wrong, being the cliché villains that they are. We are just expanding upon the theme of this topic! :)

aha..why not discus what make villains not cliché villains :P

a good villain gets away with whatever villanry he he did, a great villain also makes sure nobody ever find's out that it was him, a perfect one also makes sure nobody ever finds out there was a villainry taking place.

But if no one founds out how do they know that there is a evil villain...because usually an evil villain wants that everyone founds out about him...

that because usual villains are morons, the REAL villains do NOT want to be found out.

Ah, all that doesn't matter, when I and Denden take over the world and the universe. Resistance is futile...... :sinister:

Perhaps denden's plan is to eliminat you to IF it is time :P
