Lying about external circumstances

, I will not make up a problem just to get off the hook or get sympathy.

Agreed. Making up an untrue RL reason to get off of deserved criticism is beyond the pale, and fuck the quitters' list, anyone found to have done so should be suspended.

Yeah, but no one would ever be suspended by this rule--- how do YOU know, I mean REALLY know, what's an untrue reason?

I once complained that I had little time to participate in Mafia because I had "personal stuff" going on. No one believed me, but that didn't change the fact that my oldest brother had had a heart attack and I was travelling 30 miles a day to go visit him, dealing with his finances, and handling his lawyers.

besides, nowadays if you wanna get away with lurking, just tell people you're emulating MafiaSSK's and K7's playstyles and that you're going to lurk every game forever

And get policy-lynched in every game like SSK does?

I dunno, I've played in games where people don't want to lynch him the first day because they assume he's just being a jerk and is gonna pop town.
