There should be a way to break this system. Let's see...

"This sentence doesn't have a consistent truth value."

Did I win?

No. The truth value of this sentence is 0.

In your attempt to make a sentence behaving a certain way, you made a sentence simply describing its behavior instead of one that actually behaves in the required manner. I nearly did that while writing this: after I wrote "this sentence is a little bit truer than itself", it took me what seemed way too long to come up with "this sentence is at least somewhat true".
