Not sure what game you are playing but these are not the types of people i'd be looking to play games with.

When you hit emigration upon leaving the country, they will see that you've been in country from more than 72 and "bam," you're nailed.

What they do with you is anyone's guess, but I wouldn't count on making your return flight.
