Lying: Difference between revisions

It's unclear when Chance's habit of lying began, or when it started to increase more and more past the point of no return, while there are some traits that have remained consistent throughout his life (like his [[Intelligence|slow-learning]]), the same can't be said about his lying habits. He most likely picked up his habits of lying from Sally, in much the same way he picked up on her methods of ignoring problems (that being 'if you ignore the problem, it goes away'). Another possible reason is Sally unintentionally making him think that his lies worked by just believing whatever he says.

Chance is a pathological liar through and through, and there's nothing he wouldn't lie about if he thought it was in his best interest to do so (usually for self-pity) His lies range from his childhood, all the way to [[Blind Billy|raping a blind kid in high school]]. Thankfully however, due to his low intelligence, it's very easy to figure out when he's lying or not. The most considerable factor is context—For example; If he wants to gain the upper hand in a conversation, he will almost always dish out empty threats. Usually followed by "That's not a threat, that's PROMISE!" and other [[Chance-ism|Chance-isms]]

Usually if someone is telling the truth, their story will remain relatively consistent. Chance will always change the story to suit whatever narrative he's currently going for, with zero regard for the actual truth. Such as telling the story of how he was 'raped' as a child, to eventually switching the story to "We were just experimenting"—Or as the aforementioned IP Grabber incident; He continually insisted that Marty check out the 'image' of him dancing, afterwards saying "This ''might'' be something along those lines.." contradicting himself in mere seconds and drawing further suspicion.
