Anyone got a HowTo guide on taking over the world?
It would be nice to give it a try but i really cant be assed to put to much effort into it...
Shall i start with kidnapping scientists or would it be best to get a Fortress of DOOM first?
Also...would it be to much of a cliché for all my staff to be attractive females in tight leather outfits? |

I contemplated doing that a few years ago, turns out it's more trouble than it's worth.
I was gonna summon minions of undead to fight for me, unfortunately the Necronomicon spell book (it was only £6 in watrestones) didn't have that in. On a more positive note, there were spells for lusty things. At least I got my end away a few times, which really lead to a diminishing of my anger and need to take over the world. |

I was actualy thinking to use robots on the fighting side. Giant Spider Robots. The humanoid ones is just so cliché... |

Giant robot spiders would be freaking cool, just make sure to run them on a linux based system and not windows. That is where most plans fail when it comes to world-domination-via-computery-means. |

I was thinking to use Win 95 but you make a good point. I'l have one of the kidnapped scientists write a custom OS. |

Edited by: Abrazzar on 18/09/2009 16:11:08 Seven easy steps:
1.) Create nano-machines that can emulate cerebral activities 2.) Upload yourself into this nanite hive 3.) Dig yourself in deep into the earth's crust 4.) Spread strain of nanites all over the globe, infecting every human 5.) Reconfigure the nanite strains to allow mind control and direct communication between you and any other individual 6.) Take your place as the motherboard of the Humanity Network 7.) World domination achived |

Check with the Omar, they should be able to get some for you, might lack warranty though. |

Edited by: Jim McGregor on 18/09/2009 17:08:11Easy. Buy most of the media so you can control what people get to be aware of. Their perception of themselfs will influence everything from shopping habits to political elections. Have easy to understand news, spin them to your favor and use pretty people to present it. Ask Robert Murdoch how its done.  And yes, you are way, way, way too late... you are like a hockey player who wants to win the game when its the last minute and you are behind with 100-1.... See you on the other side is all I can say. :) |

Several idea's- 1. Create machine that can think on its own and that can research on its own using its powerful processors. Use technology gained from it to TAKE OVER THE WORLD! WARNING: Make sure it doesn't turn on you 2. Kidnap many of the worlds leaders and only give them back if the countrys agree to start world war 3  WARNING: Make sure the countrys STAY in ww3 after you give them back there leaders. 3. Threaten to blow up earth's core or, if you have those kind of explosives, threaten cities instead WARNING: Make sure they know the threat is real |

Heres my plan:
1. Stock pile weapons of mass destruction and build robots that are undyingly loyal 2. Wait till humanity is nearly extinct due to some major incident 3. ???? 4. Profit! |

A couple interesting things to understand about taking over the world.
First choose correct henchmen, these are your linchpin and you must know what you are employing. If you want undead, you must understand fire and shotguns are your enemy, whereas if they are machines then they better be virus and EMP proof. Another thing to keep in mind is if your using robots, do not have them all look alike unless they are robots put in place to look like you.
Do not clone yourself to take over the world, you know you cannot be trusted.
Once you have henchmen you need a doom fortress, this can be anything from a castle on the top of a hill or even a simple office building claiming to be an insurance company. Each of these fortresses have their flaws and advantages, an office building is great for scamming money and blending in whereas a castle has a great fortified position and alot of space to amass your army(for the sake of argument robots). Next thing you must understand about making a doom fortress is making it super hero proof, do not make your self destruct on a timer, have it destroy your building automatically or at the very least on an odd number, same goes for your missiles.... They should launch when you ask, not an arbitrary number afterwords.
Troop deployment is your next problem, where can you place your robot guards so that they may be most effective? It is recommended that you place the guards in groups of three, enough to cover eachother and not too many as to ensure reverse ninja theory doesn't come into play. Finally do not allow your henchmen to have explosive weapons, they always miss the enemy, kill other henchmen or at the very least screw up your doom fortress.
Another thing to consider is a top henchman, or sometype of assassin/bodyguard... You cannot go wrong with most choices but the basic ideal is be sure not to restrict him from doing anything, and ensure he doesn't have any moral restraints and or is smarter then you... If you do any of these things he will betray you.
One last thing, when executing your own plan, do not abide by any of the arbitrary time limits you set, if it's a day then launch in 12 hours, if it's a week launch in 2 days. This will restrict the enemy from making a plan that is put inplace just in time.
Finally, I for one welcome our new lazy overlord. |
