A false time constraint (FTC) is saying you can only stay a minute so the open feels cheap: "I have to run, but…" Mystery-era club game used it constantly. Girls Chase does not make it the house open. Direct intent plus a slow voice is the default. An FTC is still legal when you actually have somewhere to be, or when a group will bolt if you look planted.
Used as a lie every time, it becomes oily — the same problem as a fake opinion opener.
