COME ON YOU YANKS

The Sli (or Sounds Like It) Game will be played just like the Acrosex and FIB in terms of rules; however, when it comes to objective, The Sli is completely unique.
In The Sli, the gamemaster will propose a random phrase. After this, each contestant will compose their own phrase that sounds like the phrase proposed by the gamemaster. Don't understand? Here's an example. Gamemaster's: Kobe Bryant's Lakers Lost Valid Entry: Blow me quiet, maker 'er bust It's really not too complicated of a game. The uniqueness comes into play when one considers the double thread of The Sli. Instead of simply trying to massage the fish of the gamemaster, each contestant also has to do their damndest to comply with the proposed phrase. Whilst in the previous games, compliance was black and white (either you followed the letters of the acrosex...or your FIB made sense), in The Sli, each entry's compliance can vary drastically...and that's alright. The trick comes into play when the gamemaster is considering who should win. Of course, it is his or her decision as to how much compliance is necessary to allow an entry to win...but, as a contestant, you need to make sure that you provide both elements in your entry. A note to the gamemasters: Test out your phrases before you propose them. I'm thinking that most phrases should be fine for the game...but I'm sure there are a few that just don't work too well. To combat this, I ask that you attempt to make up a phrase or two in compliance with what you wish to propose. Doing this should help to provide better entries. Without further ado, for the first time, I present to you...The Sli. At home we rest, with the cleaver. |
