That's the problem with evil geniuses . . .

There's more than one problem?

[ofdrumsthesound]

I didn't say that. I said that there's one.

Evil geniuses always want you to know they're a genius. So they explain their brilliant plan, and he the time they've finished some idiot has gone and screwed it up. And the more of an ego they have the longer it takes then to learn it's a bad idea. *He smiles ruefully.* I should know; I'm a megalomaniac, it took me ages.

Goodness, I hope you didn't try to rely on one.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Oh, hardly. I know better than to rely on anyone like me. Not when I'm so unreliable, even towards my friends.

I was thinking of the gloating, actually. It tends to cause problems.

[searchingfordistraction]

You've got to pick your timing with the gloating. I find that saving it for when you intend to lose works rather well.

I was just reading a fic with Jim in it, by the way. http://archiveofourown.org/works/850816

If I'm ever in a position where I want to lose that badly I'll consider it.

Man, I have *got* to find a good Hannibal for Jim to play with.

It can be a good tactic. Losing the battle to win the war. Or just putting a war-grown-boring out of your misery.

Totally. :D EoT1Master does the people-eating thing too, though ;)

[ofdrumsthesound]

War, real war, is never boring. The drums won't let it be.

And for such a lost person, I really hate to lose. Even to my dear Doctor, who always seems to win at everything. *He grins like the mad thing he is.* Someday he might even win my remorse. But only if he's very good.

Do you have anyone who wants to rehabilitate you, or is that just me?
