Domination of Equestria - T-15 - days.
The Battle For Ponyville: 20:10
That must be...what? Random Guard number one hundred and twelve by now? These ponies really needed bullet proof armour years ago. Silly creatures.
Then again, the current regime is so slow at adopting new technologies…
Oh, is that..? Why yes, I do believe that could be the Princess of Friendship herself.
Not looking all that friendly though.
“So good of you to come and find me Princess.”
“Mr President.”
“Didn’t you get the memo? It’s been Supreme Overlord for awhile now.”
“I’ll never bow to you!”
“No? I’ll settle for kneeling. Especially if it’s so you can put that pretty little mouth of yours to work.”
“You’re disgusting!”
“You flatter me too much.”
“Give up! Turn your army back now!”
“Or what? Have you missed the part where your own army lies in ruins? Your friends scattered across the field of battle? I’ve won Princess. Call off your forces and many of them may yet be spared.”
“Everypony here is set against you till the end! I’d rather die here than live in a world where you rule!”
“Really? But I wanted to catch them all...Killing you will end my streak before it even begins.”
“Damn you!”
I get the feeling this conversation is over.
Yeup! That’s some spellcraft right there!
Pew!
Crack!
Shit, there’s a reason she’s one of the nation’s best spellcasters afterall!
Bang!
Voop!
Ha! Winged you with that last one!
Not so hot now are we!
“Hehe, hehehehehe…”
No, no. Keep it together. It’s important to maintain decorum after all.
“Heee..So, Princess, tell me, how does it feel to lose so utterly?!”
“You...tell...me…”
“...What?”
Is she…? That's another spell! Move back, MOVE BACK!
Crack.
My ears! That's a fucking high pressure wave! The bitch, she wouldn’t!? Where’s that shield charm!
FUCK!
Whumph.
Boom.
Am I...still alive?
Looks like it…
Who would have thought the prissy little nag would have it in her to try something like that.
And how did she fare…?
That’s...one large arse crater…
Oh, is that you Discord?
Don’t you dare...
Overlord Rule No:20 Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it's too easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.
He almost didn't get an advantage out of following that particular rule, but I suppose it's the principle that counts.

In reality, following some rules wont provide you with an advantage, but simply avoid putting you at an obvious disadvantage.
At the end of the day, you still have to avoid dying by yourself.
Wait,
did discord change twilight into giant arse?
Isn't there a rule that states not to gloat your victory over your opponent and just kill/capture him/her quickly?
If not there should be.
7116286
Don't think so. I think that was just to emphasise the size of the crater
I'll have problems with this one.
Hero deciding for herself for fight to death is somehow acceptable, but condemning others to same without asking them, because you have pride, is really selfish.
And Twilight just commited kamikadze attack?
Laughing in the middle of a battle is tempting, but wait until you are securely on your throne first.
7116286 rule 54 has discord and takes place right after this
7116346 there is
I've never thought this was a particularly good rule as phrased; a clause missing should be "unless I am completely sure it is safe/I am on my own." Yes, don't break out laughing during a combat or crisis situation or anything, because as evidenced here that could get you killed. But having a good laugh after you've killed the hero (properly, see previous rules about seeing the body and putting a bullet or ten into the skull and whatnot) or in your throneroom with some good news or something in the course of normal operations is perfectly fine. (Because if you start saying that sort of thing, so also have to start saying you can't do anything else that takes some concentration away ever (see, for example, which while is not my bag is important to most other people).
(One of the post-100 rules ought to have been "I will never make myself so paranoid that I feel I have to constantly on alert all the time. If I have followed all the other rules, I should be confident in my own personal safety that I can relax and indulge myself when appropriate. Acute paranoia and/or stress is not good for my mental health, nor for the health of anyone around me.")
Why didn't he just shoot her? Isn't that another rule?
7117227 Well, if you laugh maniacally right after finishing off the hero for "realz" then that will be the perfect time for their as of yet unknown love interest to fly at you from behind, filled with righteous rage. There's also the fact that the mere act of doing it will be double dirty dog daring the universe to fuck you up. And, of course, it is not a good idea to let your guard down, regardless of circumstances. Of course it's probably implied that a good pre-bed chuckle might be safe, or not.

Why kill the beautiful enemy heroine, when you can seduce/corrupt/turn into a member of your harem of debauchery and have her be your own personal sex machine? Throw in her five friends and a princess of the moon and a crystal heart and you got perhaps the best nights imaginable.
Why laugh before or even after winning? Better to keep the pumped up adrenaline pent up and wait till you get home to your harem. :)
Wow, so he didn't kill Twilight at all?
She kamikazied herself to try to take the Overlord with her?
[youtube=0qcr7L4Fk18]
7118017 There is actually a rule for that. It specifically says not to bother trying to convert the heroine/princess to your cause. Twilight just happens to be both.
7118017 I could probably make a list of HiE fics you would find interesting. Might take a week if I try to find the better ones too...
After that I'd recommend "Not the Hero" as an outside look.

Alarajrogers
Basic plot is Discord sees the human as a reality bending existential threat. He refuses to be an alien's meat puppet villian.
7139701 Read it a while ago and it's a pretty good. Probably in my Top Ten HiE fics. Thank you.
