# Similarly to Rule 1783 above, if I use a BladeOnAStick or [[VideoGame/YookaLaylee a cane]], I will not use it to perform a ShockwaveStomp or just slam it into the hero. This invariably makes it get stuck in the ground, [[FridgeLogic (even in metal, for some inexplicable reason)]] and allows the hero time to hit me.

# If I encounter [[Manga/OnePunchMan a bald man with a cape,]] I will beg for mercy. He might just grant it to me.

# However, [[FoeYay if I am in love with the heroine, and she reciprocates,]] our battles will likely just end up as our way of flirting. I will, however, endeavor to avoid harming civilians.

# Should I fall in love with the heroine and, after carefully checking every other item of this list regarding the matter, realize that I am indeed in love and that she is unlikely to abandon her cause just with the temptation of power (and she most likely is), I'll seek to learn more about her so I can court her as a secret admirer of sorts. Many girls like this and it can improve my chances if once she learns of my feelings, she has a different image of me already. I'll also not confess that I am said secret admirer since she will at once assume I'm trying to manipulate her. Give her subtle hints (It's unlikely I'll fall in love with someone dumb, so she will figure it out herself) and act as if I didn't want her to find out, but couldn't simple forget said feelings.

# During my attempts to turn my love interest against her friends, I'll be sure to know the necessary about their relationships (serious arguments, occasional hurtful jocks, etc) and psychology in order to make her see their bonds are not so perfect or strong as she thinks they are. I'll, however, not use of any lies. Truth is the most powerful weapon in those cases.

# [[Manga/StardustCrusaders If my some of my minions are mind-controlled and some are not, and there is a hero I really need killed, I will send the minions that serve me of their own free will after the hero first, and only use the mind-controlled ones if I really have to. I don’t want the hero to get unexpected allies.]]

# Of course, when hiring someone to read books to me, have a very good reason as to why I hired them, such as the fact that she can read the languages that the books are written in, like the Medieval versions of English, Spanish, French, German, Latin, Ancient Sumerian, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and other such obscure forms that current-day people would have issues reading.

# And speaking of taxes, if I do manage to find myself in a position that would let me change the tax codes however I want, I will make it so that any heroic acts the heroes perform will be heavily taxed, and as a result, they'll be too busy trying to pay off said taxes to stop me (and if an underling finds themselves in said place, I'll order said underling to do so). And if the hero is filthy rich, I will also institute taxes that target the wealthy in general so he has less money to buy better equipment and supplies with.

# There is nothing wrong with a good CrowdSong. After all, [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] and [[Disney/{{Pocahontas}} Ratcliffe]] used them to their advantage in [[AngryMobSong riling up the crowd for an assault]]. Tough crowds indeed, all armed with a lot of weapons.

# If [[CollisionDamage Collision Damage]] is not dealt to the hero in this universe, I will purchase weapons identical to those of the hero. They can’t harm me, but they probably can harm him.

# Likewise, I'll NOT kidnap her or be forceful in any manner. Besides being a very disgusting behaviour that will just push her away, it will only make her more determinated to kill me. A very well-planned arrangement during which I happen to save her or we cross paths ('forcing me to take her with me' -with the necessary precautions, of course-) are preferable. I'll also not force her to marry me, but rather show a more humane and gentle side, talking about common interest, so she will see I'm not just a monster (even if there is not a single drop of goodness left in me). I'll also give logic explanations to my actions. Even if she is saved, she will be unable to forget our nice moments together and may start seeing things from my perspective.

# I will take note of the fact that [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning Everything Is NOT Better With Spinning.]] Yes, it [[SpinToDeflectStuff can protect me from the hero's pesky fireballs or magic or arrows or whatnot,]] but a spinning attack tends to leave one dizzy or tired.

# No [[AIIsACrapshoot uncannily clever AI]]Ever. I don’t want my position as the main villain taken away.

# No UncannilyCleverAI. Ever. I don’t want my position as the main villain taken away.

# I will remember that "beautiful" does not translate to "stupid." That bombshell could very well be the one person who could make my plan work, but you can't tell intelligence just by looking at someone, even if their head looks swollen enough to assume they have a gigantic brain.

#

#

# As stated ''many'' times over throughout the list, using a [[SealedEvilInACan ancient evil]] [[EvilIsNotAToy for my own gains,]] is ''NEVER'' a good idea. Despite this, neither is ''giving'' it more power. This will likely end even worse than if I had attempted to game the blasted thing in the first place, such as, oh, I don't know, [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield a Lovecraftian horror turning into a SUPER Lovecraftian horror that pretty much wins just by existing.]]

# If I find that my {{Mook}s are playing some RPG that is clearly based off of me, which makes me look like an idiot, or they are wearing the Hero's merchandise, I will not get upset and have them barbecued. Instead, I'll just ask if they are having fun playing the game, or if the merchandise is dashing, and if they need anything else to go with it.

# If I have huge horns or a HornyVikings-type design, I will refrain from [[UseYourHead using ramming or charging attacks on the hero, especially in a closed arena. [[BullfightBoss This practice]] [[TacticalSuicideBoss tends to cause one to get stuck in a wall.]]
