** One of the players accidentally mistakenly referred to a [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nexu nexu]] as "Nixon", thereby giving the DM ''ideas''. Now, [[TheVietnamWar what]] [[UsefulNotes/RichardNixon contemporary]] [[{{Scandalgate}} 70's events]] gave GeorgeLucas the inspiration for TheEmpire's formation, again?

** Following the trend, it turns out that killing[[spoiler: [[AssholeVictim The Archmage/Plot bunny]]]], may [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/1025/ not have been such a good]] [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/1026/ idea after all...]]

* Thomil of ''{{Juathuur}}'' accidentally kills [[http://oneway.juathuur.com/1/?strip_id=65 Beshren's daughter]]. Ratheel is even worse when it come to [[http://oneway.juathuur.com/1/?strip_id=326 breaking useful stuff]].

* In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', when Torg [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=990228 exorcises the demon K'Z'K out of Gwynn]], he sets K'Z'K free upon the world. Subverted in that this was actually intentional: they needed the Demon out of Gwynn so that they could use their plan on it directly and not harm her. However...

* The Webcomic/FreakAngels had wanted to [[spoiler: cause a huge but non-threatening destructive gesture as a means of putting the army off the notion of continuing to chase them (or at least distracting them for a while]]. Instead, their ''severe'' underestimation of just how powerful they are [[spoiler:caused them to inadvertantly cause destructive shockwaves which ended civilisation]].

* In [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/?db=comics&id=528#comic this]] ''SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' strip.
* A recent ''ExterminatusNow'' comic had Yuri smash a panel that she thought was the power source for the daemon portal. Turns out, it may have been the control panel, given that its destruction released the daemons.
* In ''PennyAndAggie,'' when Stan confronts the [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] Cyndi about her attempt to deceive his best friend Jack, and other classmates, into thinking she wanted to sleep with them, he taunts her for not thinking big enough, so as to imply she's lost her touch and shake her confidence. Instead, she says "You're right. You're so right," and [[EvilLaugh giggles ominously]]. Stan himself admits in the next strip that he made things worse.

** Jade sends her friend John a birthday present. [[spoiler: Using her precognitive abilities, she sends John a weapon to fight [[DiscOneFinalBoss Jack Noir.]] Unfortunately, the Noir intercepts the gift and ends up using it to defeat the black queen and take her power. Jack then uses this power to singlehandedly obliterate both the black AND white armies and destroy the entire planet of Prospit, which ends up also killing Jade's dream self. Nice job.]]

** Played with during The Green sun incident [[spoiler: While Rose and Dave and the rest were trying to destroy it, they end up creating it with their actions. Aside from all the complexities of predestination and causality, the Green Sun isn't a bad thing, it's a neutral power. While it powers Doc Scratch and aids in the creation of [[BiggerBad Lord English]], it also powers Bec, and he's the one who saves Jade and makes sure she get's in the game.]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' Jade sends her friend John a birthday present. [[spoiler: Using her precognitive abilities, she sends John a weapon to fight [[DiscOneFinalBoss Jack Noir.]] Unfortunately, the Noir intercepts the gift and ends up using it to defeat the black queen and take her power. Jack then uses this power to singlehandedly obliterate both the black AND white armies and destroy the entire planet of Prospit, which ends up also killing Jade's dream self. Nice job.]]

* During the 1999 arc of ''{{Asperchu}},'' Jivin stops past Bionic from committing suicide over Ian's rejecting of him. Considering the things Bionic would do in the present, it might have been better for everyone to let him die.

* ''Webcomic/{{Sidekicks}}'': Lightning is indirectly directly responsible for the Humankind Security Committee heardquarters being destroyed by the villains and the subsequent deterioration of the system that kept supublics in check. Having [[spoiler:fired Gale from his sidekick position, [[FaceHeelTurn Gale became a villain]]]] and then later tricked Lightning into leaving the Committee completely exposed.

* Cale, the protagonist of {{Looking for Group}}, has a long history of causing this kind of events. Due to his status of {{Wide Eyed Idealist}}, who has the misfortune of living in a {{Crapsack World}} [[BreaktheCutie which loves to prove him wrong]]. In chronological order:

** Much earlier, a totally-ignorant-of-her-true-bloodlines Agatha Clay [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040310 blows her stack when groped by a minor researcher]] on [[CoolAirship Castle Wulfenbach]] and tells the man to go do whatever it was he should be doing. Bad News: the guy is a [[ManchurianAgent thoroughly conditioned sleeper agent]] of the mysterious long-missing entity called [[BigBad The Other]], [[spoiler: who happens to be the mother of the teenaged girl that was screaming in his face]]. Worse News: a creation of The Other known as a Hive Engine was recently brought aboard, and activating it to unleash the monsters within is exactly what The Other's servants should be doing.

* Congrats, [[{{Goblins}} Big Ears]]! [[spoiler:Your CriticalFailure at healing Complains' fractured arm has lead directly to Chief dying a slow, agonizing death.]]

* During the "Sin City" (no, [[SinCity not that one]]) [[StoryArc arc]] of ''DominicDeegan'', Dominic reveals to The Infernomancer that the demon lord he was supposedly bound to serve didn't have control over him, meaning he didn't have to follow any orders. The Infernomancer's response? "Now I get to kill you the way I've always wanted to -- ''slowly!''"

* Robyn of ''Webcomic/ThePhoenixRequieum'' keeps doing things that look like a good idea but turn out to have horrible consequences later. Fighting the shades with water [[spoiler:contaminates the river they drink from, which spreads it faster]]. Convincing Jonas to go to Hyde [[spoiler:makes the plague follow him ''there'', wiping out the whole town]]. Having him dispel the shades [[spoiler:almost kills Jonas and strengthens the Spirits, who were shortly ago revealed as the bad guys]]. And having people shelter in the church only worked because Jonas was there to dispel the shades. When he's not, it's just an easy way for them to infect many people at once.

* In the first chapter of ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', Antimony helps a lost [[LivingShadow Shadow-Man]] return to his [[TheLostWoods forest home]], by assembling a Robot to escort him there (since the rules prohibited Annie from going herself). She also tells Robot that he only has to return to the Court afterwards if he wants to, so he decides to go exploring the woods. Several chapters later, Robot returns, [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by another, violent and malicious shadow-creature, and the process of stopping the shadow results in Robot getting impaled on a {{BFS}} and deactivated. A few chapters later, Annie finds out that the people of the forest have not been on good terms with the Court for the past decade, and that they [[MagicVersusScience hate technology on principle]]. Nice job completely screwing over your friend ''and'' causing a diplomatic crisis, hero.

* The ''FreakAngels'' had wanted to [[spoiler: cause a huge but non-threatening destructive gesture as a means of putting the army off the notion of continuing to chase them (or at least distracting them for a while]]. Instead, their ''severe'' underestimation of just how powerful they are [[spoiler: caused them to inadvertantly cause destructive shockwaves which ended civilisation]].

* In ''Webcomic/CuantaVida'', Bleu fails to kill the RED Sniper, as he (Bleu) DoesNotLikeKilling. This leads to [[spoiler: RED Spy's death when he [[TakingTheBullet takes a bullet]] for BLU Sniper]], which in turn leads to [[spoiler: the introduction of Rojo, who loves nothing more than [[FateWorseThanDeath mutilating]] his opponents]]. [[SarcasmMode Nice going, Jordi!]]

*** [[FromBadToWorse To make things worse]], Haley doesn't even have most of [[spoiler:her past few years' worth of loot]] any more, having lost [[spoiler:most of a dragon's hoard [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0245.html in a fire]]]]. Just to break even, she'd have to [[spoiler:steal twice that much all over again and give it all to the Guild -- half belonging to the Guild outright, and the rest paying off her debt to them]]. Haley's solution? [[spoiler:Desert the guild all over again, killing [[EvilCounterpart Crystal]] while she's at it,]] when the Order gets together again. [[spoiler: the bonus strips in the print version reveals that the guild never intended to honor their agreement and was trying to kill her under the nose of her allies as "an accident", those were cut from the web version for pacing purposes and for the sake of having some bonus content for the paying customers, the author did not realize his mistake until much later and lamented the accidental change in plot and tone that was created by omitting those strips from the free web version]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'', Artie the super-intelligent gerbil decides to literally make friends by dosing several other gerbils with intelligence serum. One of the gerbils escapes and creates a group of Objectivist hamsters. Later on, Artie meets the hamsters and gives them a million dollars which they use for their plan for WorldDomination. Even later, Artie breaks up Helen and Dave's relationship as he believes that Helen is taking advantage of Dave. The break-up precipitates Dave's StartOfDarkness. During the efforts to simultaneously thwart the hamsters and Dave, Artie brings up his status as TokenGoodTeammate, and Helen [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on it.]]

** And now [[spoiler: killing Aellon]], ruining the chance of the people of Kethenecia to achieve a lasting peace with Legara, action which finally causes [[spoiler: Benny to leave him and the party to split]] and forcing them to retake the adventure after a {{Time Skip}}.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' Jade sends her friend John a birthday present. [[spoiler: Using her precognitive abilities, she sends John a weapon to fight [[BigBad Jack Noir.]] Unfortunately, the Noir intercepts the gift and ends up using it to defeat the black queen and take her power.

** In Act 5, we finally find out why the {{Troll}}s think the kids fucked up the game so badly. [[spoiler: It's actually ''their own fault'', as Vriska made John fall asleep, forcing [[RealityWarper Bec]] to prototype Jade's kernelsprite with himself, and granting [[BigBad Jack Noir]] near-omnipotence.]]
*** [[spoiler: Retroactively. Bec Noir already existed in their universe, so whether or not Vriska did anything, the Kid's Session would still cause his existence. She just wants to kill Jack to prove her worth to the rest of the group.]]
**** Causality (or the lack thereof) doesn't seem to work that way. [[spoiler:He existed in their universe ''as a result of'' Vriska's actions, which she performed more or less for the purpose of closing the causal loop -- or rather, ''being the one to'' close the causal loop. Becsprite's creation depended on her own thought processes and ambitions. Though the loop ''itself'' seems to have had its own cause -- see below.]]
**** In trying to do so, she [[spoiler: leads Jack right back to where the others are.]] Oops!!!!!!!!
