What's the strangest excuse you've ever been told for someone going afk or quitting a team/league on tf or trial?

The silliest?

The most excusable?

The most inexcusable?

Discuss, debate.

When they give no warning or reason at all upon return

Real life happens, I get that. I am pretty forgiving about need for afks, just say something. If you have time at least say "afk". If you don't, at least say "sorry" when you get back even if you can't explain why. Respect that there are other people, real people, who have committed their time to teaming with you for a specific purpose.

So, this was a discussion that I had to comment on, officially making this my 27th post since 2004. I will say this: We had a member of our SG who continually would start a TF, and immediately aggro everything, then bail because he was 'tired'. It became enough a problem that I wrote an AE mission with it as a point. For the record, he didn't get it.

So, here we go: The worst excuses I've seen since 2004:

The Silliest:'Ooooh, there is a zombie event? I'm afraid of zombies... (Half-way through the event)/"I don't want to do the TF, I just want the rewards and badges, I'm quitting to join a TF close to the end"

The most excusable: "My wife just went into labor, gotta go"

The most inexcusable: After prodding our SG to spend our SG night doing a particularly vicious Moonfire, 'Oh, I have the badge...nevermind, I'm out'

Yeah, there were some winners......
