Is it just me or does anyone else think the lies should be proper lies? That is, not just mild distortions of the truth, such as "I have a tortoise named Toby" being the lie and the truth is that the person does have a tortoise but it's called Tony, etc. Or "I have 20 neon tetras" and they actually only have 19.
A lie is a lie.
Yes, technically, but it makes the game dull if we just resort to inaccuracies rather than complete untruths. Not all lies are created equal.
