In the world of Command & Conquer, Kane is a busy man. How does a person like him keep up with all the administrative tasks while trying to take over the world? Well, he could get an evil secretary, but we thought it would be much more fun if Shackers would step forward with their best evil plans instead. Some opted for a simple scheme, some complex. The winners are as follows:

• TheKidd belives in the Rosicrucianism full spectrum of evil.
• GuavaD has a breakfast fixation on hashed wickedness.
• fatlazyhomer know flow charts and evil like the back of his malicious hand.

We have all the entries in this gallery here. It wasn't an easy choice, but the final nod for grand prize goes to fatlazyhomer, who belies at least part of his name with an expertly executed flow chart. All three of the finalists will receive copies of Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath--which includes Red Alert 3 beta access--with the grand prize winner also collecting the entire C&C catalog, all courtesy of EA.

Thanks to both EA and Shackers for the contest and participation. Oh and don't let me forget to thank Pipedreamergrey and Brandon for the examples. Check back later today for our Fallen Empires contest.

For the purpose of this contest, such plans should be illustrated with a flow chart diagram, like something you would create in Visio, OpenOffice Draw or even the ever faithful MS Paint.
