)

If it was something which involved me, truth always...i need honesty in a relationship
but if someone wants to badmouth someone to me, then i'd rather them not tell me...the truth about other people can sometimes really warp the way you act/feel around them

Lie.
The only reason people tell the truth is because they have a huge amount of guilt. They're only telling the truth out of their own self-interest and do not take into account the feelings of the other person and how they will react. Keeping the truth from them is the only right and honourable thing to do.
If you tell them the truth you hurt them but at least get it off your chest. If you lie and they never find out, you're doing them a favour, even if you have to feel some guilt for a little while.

It depends on what the matter in question is. I mean, if someone told me I hadn't won lotto...when I had... I'd be unhappy.

Wrong. Some people (the speaker) tell those who are close to them (the listener) the truth because it gives the listener an accurate representation of how the speaker truly feels, rather than the listener only having someone who tells them what they want to hear.
This disproves your flimsy claim that people only tell the truth cos they have a huge amount of guilt. Some people prefer having truthful people around them who don't make them happy 100% of the time, than being surrounded by agreeable machines who tells lies to maintain the (artificial) flow of happiness.
