A character is subjected to a [[Long List]] of his sins and transgressions, often impossibly long. Alternatively, a character is placed in purgatory or otherwise judged for his crimes, with a convenient long list of crimes at hand, possibly because [[The Powers That Be]] have [[Surveillance as the Plot Demands]].

* In ''[[Open Blue]]'', the [[The Federation|Axifloan Coalition]] lists various crimes that various Pirate Lords and ladies are wanted for. While some have pretty serious lists throughout, others...

The real cake takers, however, are Captain Garth (v4), with "Unlicensed operation of a menagerie", and Captain Ingrid (v4), with "Insulting Admiral Flota Vladimir Ilyavich Tokarev, '''HERO OF THE TRIBES'''".
