    Wow, you step away from the boards for a couple of months only to return to a genuine supervillain society??? WTF? I knew folks on io9 were evil, but...whoa. And then to top it off, you're giving out shirts should a person sign up? Hmmm...comic con is right around the corner and the Guild of Calimitous Intent t-shirts are sooooo 2008.


    Decisions, decisions...

    But seriously, the more t-shirts at Comic Con, the better.

    Well... I guess I'll join just so that I can blend in and later completely subvert and destroy the organization from within due to infighting.

    I don't know. I'm still skeptical.


    I mean, if you are really evil, then how can I trust you with my email address and true identity.


    But if you're not really evil, then why would I bother giving you my email address and true identity.


    This whole social network of evil thing just gives me pause.

    Listen I know you guys rejected me last time, but I think I have my paperwork in order now. I do have a few questions:


    Should the A17-Declaration of Evil Intention form be filled out in triplicate?


    Will I be considered more evil if I write something (decidedly evil) in the "Do not write here" box?

    So what's the link to rushinteens.com? (the email is joinroach@rushinteens.com) Can we assume that the founder of roach is also the founder of that t-shirt store??

    @Smeagol92055: R.O.A.C.H.: Our new overlord has very soft-looking hands. He may want to do some weight training to beef up a little. Overlord is a demanding job which needs manly handshakes given in manly fashion.
