"This is the absolutely and MOST IMPORTANT rule in the Evil Overlord List. Advice should be taken to heart, but it is the application and your style of rule that makes you different from other Evil Overlords and will define your chances of success.

Flexibility and adaptability are more important than following each number in the Evil Overlord List blindly. You must analyze the situation and use what you have learned, while adding your own tricks and flairs to it, if desired. This will prove important in facing a hero who has managed to read the Evil Overlord List, or a rival Overlord.

I hope that everyone learned the basics of Villainy. We will resume next semester on the 134th chapter: "Anti-Villains: Real Villain or Not?""
