How to Take Over the World or throw a really Evil Party…… SO you want to be a super-villain and overthrow the world. Throw me a’frickin bone people. You haven’t attended evil community college let alone Evil University, you can’t take over the world – you’re just not evil enough. You need to start small. Party small. A small evil party? Yes, a perfect project to test your super-villainous nature. Evil Parties are just the thing to start learning how to take over the world. Muah. All the building blocks of a true evil empire need to be present: A Secret Hideaway Your secret hideaway needs to be remote enough that your nemesis has trouble finding it, but you know it needs to have a certain something, something. Sure some evil villains go for volcanoes but that’s so 1970s. A moonbase might be nice, but I’ve always preferred a casino kind-of-theme –you know games of chance, games of death, and so on. The key thing is to embrace your evil nature and go for what works for you. Make sure to hide the evil behind a legitimate cover story to fool your nemesis. Make sure it is comfortable for your henchmen and has suitable easily escapable prison rooms for your nemesis. An Evil Plan I personally like to use an Evil Party Planner, but hey not everyone can afford those types of services. To have a successful evil party you must have an evil plan. You know bunch bowl goes here, appetizers there , large city destroying laser there. You get the idea. Plan out the menu for both holding the world hostage, and serving food. Finally don’t forget the drinks (whether soft or made of more potent stuff), a party isn’t super-villainous until at least one of the henchmen is singing show tunes. Evil Henchmen These are your cannon fodder, I mean sycophantic underlings, I mean friends. Make sure you invite many and give them a good naming system. Some evil geniuses prefer numbering, others more complex systems. I prefer to name my henchmen using physical attributes – this avoids any problems of henchmen who can’t count. Invite as many as you can to patrol your secret hideaway and foil your nemesis. My henchmen particularly enjoy dancing with the henchladies. Victims, oops, I mean a Nemesis What would every great villain be without his nemesis. You know his elephant to your mouse or maybe his small African child to your hungry lion. I’m not sure I don’t do metaphors. But you need a nemesis. Who else will you show the awesome power of your fully-operational party base to? Who else will you share your plans of world domination with? Make sure you have plenty of punishment, er entertainment planned for your Nemesi (invite more than one if you can- it is always good to deal with heroes in job lots). Follow my evil advice, and you too shall be a super-villain capable of taking over the world or at least hosting an evil party. In the end your party should be so evil, that it’s good.
