* If one of your advisors asks, "My liege/lord/leader, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?"
I would tell them what I will do to them if they ever dare question my orders again and finish with, "and that is what this one man will do."
* If your trusted lieutenant asks, "Why are you risking everything on such a mad scheme?"
I would inform them of my exact intentions and later that night before they had any possibly chances of betraying me I would have them executed just as they go for their hidden communication device. Extra points to the assassin if he kills them just as he is about to reveal the plan. Real evil lords never trust anyone.
* If one of your dungeon guards expresses concern over the conditions in the beautiful princess' cell?
Tell them not worry about it, otherwise he will be upgrading his own housing conditions to the tortur-er I mean, the basement rooms...that's what I meant...
* If the beautiful princess that you capture declares, "I'll never marry you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!"?
I would explain to her every single detail of why she must or everyone that she knows and loves will be very much dead if she does not. After her tear-filled night of imagining these things she'll come around.
* If your are fighting with the hero/heroine atop a moving platform, have disarmed him/her, and are about to finish him/her off when he/she glances behind you and drops flat?
Using my super-human strength and cat-like grace I would wrench them up off the floor and use their own little plan to finish me off against them. Nothing says demoralizing the rest of the enemy with a good turn about.
* If after you've captured the hero/heroine, he/she pleads, "Before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?"
I would pretend to go into a monologue of my grand scheme but it's really just a ruse. The later half of the monologue will be me singing the theme song to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and then me promptly executing the hero as they lay in shock.

'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.

As I said in my OP, I intend to increase princess-related schemes and reduce hero getaways. That is just the beginning, however. I am of the belief that stealing away princesses and stymying heroics is just the first step. Eventually, it is my goal to steal away hopes and dreams of entire nations. Ideally with the assistance of some ancient relic bent to my brutal suzerainty. It is not my goal to have the people simply fear me. Fear is for brute dictators. No, I wish the people fat and stupid, to be satisfied sheep. Cheering for the wealth their leader brings to their city, unawares of my vice-like grip on his every move. The intensity and enormity of my ancient and evil will shall cause the very air of my palace to catch in the throat. For my baleful gaze to be felt in every corridor.

I assure you I will not be over thrown like other viziers. Through daily examples and hard-work all will be loyal and see that what they really enjoy is being told what to do. OBEY.

Ultraamann's "Shoot the advisor/trusted lieutenant/dungeon guard/beautiful princess" earn points for efficiency and directness, but these responses lie along the "Mafia Don" end of the evil overlord spectrum. "Shoot whatever is coming behind you without having to turn around to look." and "Open your mouth as if to answer... then shoot the hero/heroine." display something of an evil vizier's requisite villainous flair, yet even these favor the overt instead of the oblique, the straightforward instead of the scheming. Consider Silas's convoluted "I tell them a false plan then allow them to escape, so that they may strive to foil the fake plan and in doing so, help further my actual plan.", which was just one among several devious responses.
Champion deserves an evil vizier worthy of Conrad Veidt's Jaffar - only the evilest and viziest should apply.
I'm going to have to side with TrueGentleman that "Shoot them all" is not really an evil enough platform for me to get behind. Demoralization and long term goals really turn my vote.
That said, Silas seems to be pulling past his opponents in the pursuit of this position. His plans for a plump plebeian populous--a powerless puerile proletariat politically perplexed into passive patronage--practically pilfers my pick to put him in power.
However, this race isn't over yet. Good fight so far gentlemen. Now, wow me. The people of the Rogue Isle want, no, need to be amazed. Awe us. Make it impossible NOT to put you in office.

<---- votes for Silas, ya evil skeez!!
When I think evil and scheming, I think Silas.
When I think dutiful leader, I think Horus.
Oh, how to cast my vote.
So far Silas is up on the quick response time and the pithy remarks... but it seems that his evil plans mostly involve physical damage to his minionry. While I am, of course, a fan of Stalinist politics, I wonder if that's kind of underling slaughter is really where I want to put my faith.
So Silas, other than capturing princesses for their comedic pride, what do you plan on doing that doesn't involve physical, mental, or emotional damage to those working for you.
Horus, please catch up on the earlier questions so that we can presently get to know our candidates for future overlord.
All others with prospective hats in the ring, please explain what makes you more scheming and brilliant than Silas, and/or more dutiful than Horus.
Thank you,
The People of the Rogue Isles
