I think it's recruitment process would have to be a little less trying for any of us to get hired. Then again it wasn't so hard to get hired before the events of Demons Soul's maybe considering the circumstances there might be more vacancies. Yeah ill go with the Old One too, none of the painful surgery of the Combine and none of the randomly getting killed for laughs like in the Jokers crew. Just massive demonic power for the low low price of: your soul.theemporer said:The Old One calls his new demon to him... The power of a demon's soul is beyond human imagination, after all. >
(Note: No, not those Old Ones, silly)
Of the given options? None. Most of them tend to treat you as faceless mooks to be sent wave after wave against a super-powered or just normal badass or they are practically incapable of giving a shit about you, I'm looking at Cthulhu there.
For the best chance at survival, I'd go for a soldier under the command of one of the brighter imperial commanders from Star Wars. Perfectly willing to sacrifice some soldiers to save more. Pragmatism is what I'd want in an evil overlord. Why win a battle with heavy losses if there's a way to avoid that? After all, soldiers do cost money no matter where you get them from.

I'd stick it out like any respectable freelance bounty hunter and join up with whoever had the most scratch to pay me to work for them.
Course somebody can pay better then their the boss then.

I'm against joining any gang where I run a 75% chance of my own boss killing me with a flower that squirts acid, or one that requires my body to be surgically rebuilt.
I don't know about the 40k or the top two, so I'll have to go with Sauron's army, as I don't really see any super downside to following his command.

My first thought was Khorne, because if you're really good and don't fuck up you get to become an immortal daemon, and apart from that all the choices that I know anything about (know nothing about options 1, 2) are pretty bad and have a life expectancy of about a week. Assuming it takes a week to get to the frontline.
But then I thought back to what I thought about the last time I saw the Lord Of The Rings films - on one occasion, a protagonist (don't remember which) jumped into the midst of a bunch of pikemen, who had the pikes pointed up, and none of them bothered or were clever enough to impale him, despite the fact that it would take no effort and should probably happen accidentally anyway. And then later, when Gandalf arrives? He leads a cavalry charge into a mass of pikemen. What magic does he use to make this suicidal tactic not suicide? Light. He makes a bright light, that blinds the orcs.
I was like "Jesus Christ, guys, you have eyelids! And helmets with visors! You don't need to aim a pike, a cavalry charge is a wall of meat!"
So yeah, I'd join Sauron's army, and rise through the ranks because of my superior leadership. I should get to a decent position just for the "put the pikes in the enemy" idea. Assuming the numbers are adjusted enough to balance things out (otherwise combine vs the rest of the list would just be unfair), I should end up as fief of Western Europe.
Although of course, there are plenty of better "other" options that are better. But it's kind of cheating to go with that, since you could pick any evil army from any fiction. Still, there's an "other" option, so I'll think about what "other" I would pick...
It depends on how much you can stretch "Evil" really. The Q continuum are sometimes antagonists, and are morally grey since they occasionally kill people. And fight civil wars which blow up suns as a side-effect. If that's enough that I can pick the Q, then you can call me Q. No, not the one played by John de Lancie, that's Q. Completely different Q. It stands for Q. Yes, both of them stand for Q. Do I have to spell it out for you? It shouldn't take that long: Q. Q.
Failing that, the Aeon Illuminate are (in my view) the darkest gray of the gray/gray/gray 3-way war in Supreme Commander, and joining their army would be pretty boss. If you disagree, and think the UEF are the bad guys, that's even better, since then I don't have to adopt an alien religion.
If they're not evil enough either, I pick the Brotherhood Of Mutants if doing so gives me powers, and if it doesn't, I'll join the Britannian Empire from Code Geass.
