Supreme Overlord of the Dominion of Equestria.
Wonderful title isn't it?
Capture the Country, Marry the Princess, Take over the world.
Sounds like an Adventure story doesn't it?
Well this is no story.
How do I know? Well I'm not stupid for one.
All those other dolts that came before fell into too many simple traps.
They're all so easy to avoid.
That's why I work to rule.
The rules.
The Rules of an Evil Overlord.

foolish considering how well Twilight managed it
Oh Overlord, you really know what it takes to get the job done. Evil always finds a way after all.
Oh this is just hilarious
Such is the lift of an evil Overlord who knows what the hell he's doing.
This is just what I wanted. This is just what I needed. You sir, deserve a cookie.
Just wondering, but have you had a chance to read this fic?
An Evil Overlord who punted the Idiot ball away instead of picking it up and running with it. I like it!
I don't get this one, sorry.
Oh baby, dis gun be gud.
My interest is caught. I look forward to future chapters.

The rule prevents the interrogated prisoners from escaping and having easy access to important equipment or sensitive materials.
6490907 Yeah but she was an alicorn, THE element of Magic and magic is her special talent. He might not be so lucky.
This has been an interesting laugh.
Ha! The list.
Can't wait to see who the 5 year old is.
Well, this is interesting.
As a professional in the field myself (i.e. being part of a highly sucessful major galactic Evil power), I applaud our Overlord for his insight and efforts. If all evil do-ers would show this sort of initativem the universe would be under the control of its rightful rulers so much more quickly.
WoW, about time something different, hope this doesn't take you long to write, seeing that they are about 550 words each.
I like this
DAMN IT DERPY YOU KILLED US ALL!!!
I see what you're doing with this, but it's a risky business. This application of the Evil Overlord List will inevitably create a boring invincible villain. This is particularly problematic when said villain is applying the List to characters and settings we like. The correct antidote to this is comedy, and this just isn't funny enough at present.
Rule 33: Always pay mercenaries for their time when they have been absolutely professional in their endeavors

I think that rather depends on whether you beleive the overlord to be the antagonist or the protagonist; and in this sort of story, it's intended to be the latter.
I'm finding it all pretty hilarious myself.
Oh come on, you're sucking all the posibilities for dramatic and daring storytelling,give us something to work with
Yes. The Big Red Button Strikes Again!

True, but an invincible protagonist ain't all that hot either. That said, this fic is also clearly driven on gags, not plot or character, so I guess it doesn't matter much anyway.
Damn, this guy did his homework.
You realize, of course, that as soon as you finish this story I will be compelled to reread it in chronological order.
I loved the "Overlord" games so much! I'm glad you used it for the Cover Art.
Its got a follow from me at the moment, lets see if it can up into a fav.
Despite criminally short chapter lengths, I can tell I'm going to enjoy this. Big fan of the Evil Overlord Checklist and how, particularly in relation to HR matters and actually maintaining your evil empire, sufficiently competent evil is indistinguishable from benevolence. Managing your empire is so much easier when you're a villain with good publicity than when you have a 0% approval rating, and making sure your conquered subjects are moderately safe and well fed tends to undercut uprisings and gives a nice boost to overall morale.
I'm just hoping he gets defeated from a hefty kick to the bollocks myself.
YEEEEEES YEEEEEEES YAESSSSS
6493186 Plus it makes last second rescues so much more unlikely too.
Hmm... kinda think this one failed to really showcase the rule. Like, it was there, I guess, just kind of... not very? I'unno.
lolol
trolllolllolll
He takes care of his subjects like a proper ruler, that's nice.
~Leonzilla
That was fun, may I have another? Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
6495585 Its a story based around the Evil OverLord Rules for never losing!!!!
in rule 45 you have a duplicated paragraph
You know what they say, better safe than sorry.

And just to twist the knife, make the designer one of the target nation's national heroes.
Never give cruel punishment with the intent to discourage misbehavior, the act itself is likely to backfire and encourage people to brake your rules causing you more trouble than you would save. It's easier just to deal with all future uprisings quickly and efficiently. After all as long as you are ruling even with the favor of the great majority, people are bound to want to bring you down for one reason or another.
There is no escaping that... unless you are willing and able to remove free will.

I have been grinning the entire time of reading this story, I love cheering for the villains... Villains rule, Heroes are gruel...
Out of all the rules of being an Evil Overlord, this one has the highest chance of backfiring or just not working in general. The problem with it is that if you kill your commanders as the price of a single failure then you need a steady stream of competent replacements, otherwise you'll be worse off than before. If you don't have a good immediate replacement (which you probably don't depending on the level of the commander) then a lower commander will be thrust into a significantly more responsible position that he (or she) doesn't know how to handle. The result is an army of lions led by sheep who don't know what they're doing.
Killing a commander for a failure like this also tells your other commanders that you want perfection and are not willing to forgive mistakes. In order to be a leader you have to accept that these things happen sometimes and that it is possible to come back from them.
With that said, I am loving this story so far. Keep it up!
So the safe deposit box is somehow more secure because it is more accessible to the big bad?
That is possible, but again that doesn't exactly ensure that it will never be reached or penetrated.
~Leonzilla
I am reminded of the big red button trap from the game Evil Genius. If you haven't heard of that game, check it out.
