Party Excuses

[Pheonixhawk]

Ever need to escape a horrid party but be polite about it? Try these excuses.

My Comp is laggy and I have to reboot.

I have to go, my cat is eating my taru brother and I have to go save him.

My Gf is using the excuse "You love the game more than you love me line"

A little bugger just spat radioactive acid on me and I have go to the hospital to check it out.

I just heard a rare NM popped near my homepoint in (area)

My buddy is offering me 1,000,000 gil to PL him for 30 mins.

This party rocks, I feel that I am slowing you all down from being even better.

I have to go do some Promies.

Im doing some Zilart Missions with my ls.

I just heard Godzilla is destroying windurst, I have to go check it out.

[Alya Mizar (Tsybil)]

The moogle just phoned, it seems we arrre all out of Mithra litterrr, have to rrrun. Bye.

I have used this one. More than once.

[ScarlettPheonix]

Always popular one in my linkshell~ "Linkshell event, Bye" or "OMG..I have to go my linkshell is killing <insertHNMnamehere>"

and for when I'm levelling summoner- "OMG! I need to feed Fenrir and I'm out of fresh Tarus- /goodbye"

[Keavy]

"A beer truck just jack-knifed right outside my house."

[Wanta]

For horrible parties (the 1-2k/hr ones), mine is:

Me: Sorry guys, this isn't working. There's a <insert similar job> seeking if you really wanna keep this going.
Leader: Nah, let's just disband.
Everyone else: Ok

Always works.


Seriously, never get yourself a replacement if you're leaving a bad party with some cheesy excuse. No one deserves to join the mess you just escaped from and waste time, food, taxi gil, sneak oils, one empress charge and a warp scroll, only to find out that suddenly everyone else has to go or has connection problems out when he finally gets there.
I've had that happen to myself so many times that I now decline most replacement invites.

[Tinacat]

why doint you just use the classics, like...

[Okuza]

Because all the teenage boys in the party would spam "/em massages Okuza's toes." (at the very least )

I heard this one once: "afk 5m -- wife ovulating"

[Pheonixhawk]

"I stubbed my finger on the keyboard and cant possibly type a single letter more. (despite this message) oohhh the pain-ga!"

[Sugami]

I was waiting to see if someone would say the cold toes one, it's a classic

My personal favourites (yet haven't used them) are:

Oops, gotta go. I have to water my fish.
or
I just remembered, I left my cat on fire. Bye.

No one would believe the GF one, like 10% of the population actually have one

Also my dynamis shell likes to say stuff like;
BRB putting SH up for sale (when borrowing someone else's character)
and
BRB logging onto IGE

[MittensValefor]

I heard this one once: "afk 5m -- wife ovulating"

LMAO! XD

[Sugami]

I just got the ovulating one only 5mins? Pfft he sucks

[Larxene]

Party exscuses, eh? I have a few favorites. One, for example, sorry guys...the ice cream man is here and I demand superstar.
Or, my fave, Brb, 15 min, got a turtle head poking out and it's singing Elvis Costello. Yeah...i'm messed up.

[Tianshii]

If it's around 2am where you live, no one ever gets upset or questions:
"...My friend called & she's too drunk to drive.. I have to go pick her up! Bye bye!"

I like this one & have used it here and there ever since it REALLY happened

[Karou Ariyen]

"Thanks for the party, but Unfortunetly, My b/f's stuck at work and I gotta go pick him up" After disbanding the pt and leaving, I walk 2 flights of stairs up and go "Hey hun, I'm picking you up, ready to go?" "sh*t ass party again?" "Yup."

[Sugami]

I'm usually too nice to ditch a party even if it is sucking copious amounts of ass not their fault they suck... well yeah it is

If it's really that bad I Alt-Tab fake DC then wait 10-30mins before logging back on, hope they would have moved or broken up

If I get a noob invite I just ignore it and put my flag down, sometimes even put up the Away thing but means I can't join another party for a while

[ScarlettPheonix]

If I get a noob invite or even worse a blind one I'll simply ignore the person who asked me and keep on doing what I was before.

I'll stay in a mediocre party that's at least trying but if its a party where people end up dying on their way to camp repeatedly or when they just. aren't. listening. I'll leave in a heart beat~ and usually not offer to find a replacement.

I honestly don't like finding replacements anyway- I've accepted replacement invites and ended up getting to camp only to have the party break up minutes later too many times to want to do that to anyone else.

[Tianshii]

After disbanding the pt and leaving, I walk 2 flights of stairs up and go "Hey hun, I'm picking you up, ready to go?" "sh*t ass party again?" "Yup."

That's great!

sucking copious amounts of ass

Sugami, mind if i steal that phrase to describe some situations @ work?
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(something like...being stuck here late because of baseball is...Sucking Copious Amounts of Ass!!!)

[Sugami]

Be my guest, I'm sure I heard it somewhere too

I don't want to come off like a jerk even to gimpos and such. They have friends and their friends have friends and before you know it they've networked about you're some sort of leaving-party-with-no-warning-person

Fake DC and yeah they probably assumed you've done so but they won't know for sure, it's a bit cowardly but just the easiest way out.

[Karou Ariyen]

The Ultimate Excuse: *ahem*


MY TOES ARE COLD!!!!1111

[Sugami]

why doint you just use the classics, like...

Too slow Ka-chan

Think I shouted that before leaving a dunes party once

[Tivia]

My favorite excuse to leave a bad party.

"My participation in this Party has made Baby jesus cry, I must atone"

I miss my mithra

[Alya Mizar (Tsybil)]

I miss my mithra

You can have her back anytime, just ask.

With the comming changes /SAM is once again viable and WHM/SMN will be better than ever before.

[Tivia]

Sadly I just do not have the time to invest

40 hour work week
2.5 month old baby
all other time invested in Ebay business

My poor PC, so much invested to make it a Gaming rig and all I do is work on it...I think it crys at night.

[Sugami]

*comfort*

Heh your presence in party makes baby Jesus cry, where playing FFXI will probably make your own baby cry

Hehe "...makes baby Jesus cry." I use a lot and I've been told that baby Jesus must cry a lot

Other ones are;

Every time I see a gimp DRG God kills a kitten.

Every time I see a COR/NIN I die a little inside.

Every time I miss a Slug Shot a hole in space-time opens up due to the mathematical impossibility. (I like the last one )
