Actually, you seem to have forgotten a part Slynky: "I have spoken the truth in a portion of this message" is not necessarily true, since there is nothing allowing us to determine that this statement is indeed true.

Assuming it is true, the said statement could very well be the only true part in your message, since it would qualify as being a "portion of this message", and would be your truth. Likewise, your faulty memory with regards to this game with KOTH could also be the true part of your message, with the rest filled with propaganda and falsehood.

Obviously, you could have lied about this part as well, which would have two consequences:
- Either nothing in the message is true, since there is no portion of this message that is even remotely linked with the truth,
- Or all your message is true, as there is more than one portion of it that is true.

Since a portion is not defined, it would encompass everything from "a single word" to "all but a single" world, leaving only these two alternatives of "all is true" and "all is wrong" for the gentle reader.

Therefore, we have adequately proved that the only way to figure out the Truth is to open the gamefile while playing the Trithian Empire. And even then, he might be lying to himself as well, which would make the Truth of this game impossible to grasp by any of the players.

*Scolds Slynky* Tsk, you shouldn't let them in our beloved secrets! At least, you didn't mention our 500 baseships featuring Massive mounted Wave Motion Guns, the Talisman and our Organic Armour, did you? 'Twas my dearest surprise for them, and I would hate to ruin the fun for them by telling them in advance what to expect.
