* Sufficiently unhappy nobles in ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' act this way, ordering beatings and hammerings to any dwarf that ignores (or is incapable of fulfilling) their demands. Unsurprisingly, players tend to respond to such behavior with [[The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much|their own form of capital punishment]]. |

* Zaeed Massani of ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' was apparently this, considering the fact that all his stories usually end with getting all of his men killed and info discovered in [[Downloadable Content|Lair of the Shadow Broker]] reveals that {{spoiler|a major element for his betrayal by the Blue Suns}} was his inability to ensure loyalty. {{spoiler|In fact, he's actually a poor choice for an end-game Fire Team/Distraction Leader.}} |

* Due to the open ended nature of the story, it is entirely possible that both brothers in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' count as this. All of the mercs on both teams start haphazardly next to the other side, and can just run to battle in about 4 seconds, and everybody should die at least once. Given that the announcer seemed to be looking for this setup, it may be the brothers were intended to both become "the Neidermeyer". |

* Lt. Cole Phelps of ''[[LA Noire]]'' is such a Niedermeyer that it actually winds up driving most of the game's plot. Cole [[Freak-Out|being paralysed with fear at a convenient moment]] ensured that he was the last man standing after a night fighting the Japanese on Okinawa, which made him a war hero and he rose rapidly through the LAPD as a result. His Marines, infuriated at this, decided to steal massive crates of guns and drugs from the military because they thought they deserved to get rewarded as well. {{spoiler|Cole's order to burn out an enemy cave that turned out to be a field hospital gives one of his men massive PTSD and he is later revealed as the serial arsonist. This also so enrages the unit's medic that he actually shoots Cole in the back and goes on to lead the aforementioned heist.}} |
