The game is simple. All too often, the bad guys, world dominators, mad scientists....they all do things that make you go "What an idiot!"

So, the game is simple. You are to think of rules that every supervillian should try to follow!

I will begin.

1. Don't give every guard the keys to every door.

3. Keep all your weapons in the armoury, and have its exits guarded by automated turret guns at all times.

4. Don't tell the hero your elaborate plan after you've captured them. It only gives them time to escape.

5. When my beautiful daughter falls in love with the hero, do NOT kidnap her in anger. Encourage the relationship. Maybe she can calm down the hero enough to let me make peace.

6. Spike pits shouldn't be so damned obvious. At least put a false floor in, as long as it's indistinguishable from the rest of the floor.

7. Do not put the hero in an overly complicated but easily escapable trap, just shoot them in the head

9. Hire a shooting coach, preferably an Olympic one from one of the Eastern European countries, to teach your henchman how to shoot properly, in the hopes that maybe one out of ten of the shots fired might actually hit the hero's group.

14. Oppressed slave castes are not worth it. The small increase in efficiency is not worth the death I'll suffer at their hands once the hero frees them.

15. If at all possible, build an elaborate lair. However, instead of waiting for the hero at the center, leave a note saying "Ha ha ha." Then, from a safe distance, drop a boulder on him via remote control.

16. Do not have blatant timers around bombs or other devices. It just lets the hero know how long he has until it goes off. Make them panic unnecessarily.

My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.

18. If there is a party going on that is being attended by someone I must kill, I will not crash the party, as some Samaritan will get in the way. Instead, I'll wait nearby with a sniper rifle, shooting him as he leaves the party.

19. When throwing a huge celebration over the completion of my superweapon, I will not present the superweapon with little security, and in the open.

20. If the hero challenges you to a fair, one-on-one duel, CHEAT. You're the evil emperor here, there's no reason for you to play by anyone's rules.
