# If there is something unique about the location of my evil lair that [[GPSEvidence can make its location be deduced by soil samples, plant matter or other debris that can accumulate on my clothing/equipment by spending time there and then fall off at a crime scene]], I will relocate to a more anonymous location unless there is some specific reason why I need to be operating out of that general area.

# If I need to buy supplies or expertise from a third party, I will pay them fairly instead of ripping them off or murdering them the moment the job is done. Such things may save me money in the short term, but once word gets around or people notice that my subcontractors are never seen again, nobody will want to do business with me anymore.

# I will not have the friends, families or loved ones of my subordinates (especially not my elite soldiers or trusted lieutenants) used as slaves, test subjects, sacrifices or monster kibble if it is at all possible to use someone else instead. Such behavior is a great way to turn a loyal subordinate into a rebellious one.

# When demanding ransom money, I will request using nonstandard but valid currency so it will be harder to trace.
# A little bit of theatrics doesn't hurt your villainous street cred, but overdoing it, especially in the planning stage, will lead to easy exploitation by the heroes.

# Being a PresidentEvil is overrated if my nation has term limits. It’s much better to put puppet rulers in the Capital.
# For this purpose, voter fraud is very useful. But if I can’t do it without getting caught, I had better have the courts in my pocket too.

# That being said, I can always prepare for my revenge while rebuilding my group. Nothing surprises the Hero more than to find me not only rebuilt, but also ready for Round 2.
# Always train when I get the chance, in one form or another. If the Hero beat me once, I'd better Level Up, and do some grinding on the Exp, and gather some stat-boosting equipment. That way, when he comes boasting about having that 18 Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma (I think he cheated on the dice rolls), I'll show mine that show 30 in all stats across the board.

# I will consider the merits of having my 'secret' headquarters being in a public place but properly disguised from unknowing eyes. After all, the search team or any detective will probably flag abandoned ruins, cave tunnels as well as mines as a suspicious location, rather than, let's say, right next to (or underneath) ''their own building''.

# If one of my partners proposes a StupidEvil plan that seems attractive in the front, and I seem to agree with them, I will... have that [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness partner disposed of]] and see myself to a genuine psychiatrist. Seriously, having such plans always backfires and I should be able to recognize that.
