Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter.
Nope. If you can't indulge in maniacal laughter on occasion, you might as well not be an Evil Warlord. Hell, I indulge in maniacal laughter quite often and I'm barely middle management in a moderately evil multinational corporation.
Also, "Copyright 1996-1997" makes me feel old in Internet years, as I remember this from back in the day.

I really hope this stays up. This was probably my single favorite thing in Web 1.0

Older than a good many Mefites, awesome and absolutely amazing that this isn't a double...it's right and good that this finally takes its place on MeFi. You will be spared. Not.
(psst..it's Overlord. Warlord just doesn't have the same panache)

I saw Warlord and thought it was a new one covering a new level of bad guys.
Nostalgia isn't a bad thing on Saturday morning, though.

I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum -- a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.
Wait, I think this guy did become an Evil Warlord.

I dunno why people are complaining. I, for one, love the taste of Metafilter Classic.

A friend of mine had a clipboard hanging in has bathroom with a blank sheet of notepaper headed "World Domination Plan" and visitors were invited to add new steps to it as the mood took them. I cannot recall my own contribution, but to this day, I recall "Step 14: Stockpile nougat."
As for the FPP: yeah, that takes me back.

I will not consume any energy field bigger than my head.
This is just good advice. You needn't be evil or a warlord. Who cares if this is a double? If we can save just one life ...

You know who else had ideas for what he'd do as an evil overlord?
