Line 91:
* In ''[[Galactic Civilizations]]'', there's some background history about a race called the Xendar. Manipulated by another race, they attacked a Human colony world - a minor one. The Humans retaliated with an all-out galactic campaign of destruction that all but annihilated the entirety of the Xendar race.
* In ''[[Liberal Crime Squad]]'', when death penalty laws goes Arch-Conservative, [[All Crimes Are Equal|any crime is punished by death penalty]]. Murder. Arson. Kidnapping. Assault. Vandalism. Disturbing the peace. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Loitering]]. And if you add Arch-Conservative police regulations law, the death penalty is no longer applied, because the Death Squads will execute any criminal caught on the spot. Without trial.
* ''[[Eagle Eye Mysteries|Eagle Eye Mysteries: The Original]]'', Book 2, "Case of the Crazy Compass": {{spoiler|Dave Grant}} slips a magnet into Alex Hane's backpack right before Alex is scheduled to go into the woods with his exploring club. Said magnet is so powerful that it disrupts Alex's compass badly enough to get him lost in the woods for hours, in the process ruining his chance to get a good grade for his explorer club and also ([[Fridge Horror|in hindsight]]) exposing him to the inherent dangers that come with being lost in the woods--andwoods—and {{spoiler|Dave}} [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|did that]] [[Moral Event Horizon|with full knowledge]] that Alex would be going into the woods. And his reason for all this? {{spoiler|Alex's science project came in first place ahead of his own}}.
* In ''[[Homeworld]]'', the protagonist race builds a mothership, takes it on a test drive, and comes home to find their planet incinerated and 300,000,000 people dead. Why? They violated a 4000 year old ban on interstellar travel, which they weren't even aware of.
** [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|I'm sorry, but if they can't be bothered to take an interest in local affairs... I don't know, apathetic bloody planet, I've no sympathy at all.]]
