SIAS is a simple game stolen from a book. It works like this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Example:
Person 1: "SIAS: Titanic."
Person 2: "Rich girl escapes while poor artist drowns when mega-ship only sees only the tip of the iceberg and sinks as the crew rearranges the deck chairs while the band plays on.

SIAS: Bunnies."
Person 3: "5 stars: 1 'and', 3 cliches.

..."

We will be playing a bit differently.

Scoring System

• Out of 5 stars.
• Points deducted for using 'and'.
• Points deducted for run-on sentences.
• Points awarded for tropes.

Basic Post Layout

"#/5 stars. [comments]

[summary, must not be more than a single sentence]

SIAS: [noun]"

I'll start.

SIAS: Health care.

[Phantom]

A heated political debate.

SIAS: Illegal Immigration

[Squeegy]

One star. Short, no tropes, no ands.

Penniless foreigners try to reach brave new world while everyone argues over whether or not they should get basic human rights.

SIAS: Laziness.

[Sensei]

Urists hit the stockpile while the trench grows no larger.

[Heron TSG]

An aptitude for apathy that makes those who do things seem busier.

SIAS:Pokemon

[Duke 2.0]

 A youth of 10 is awarded a fight animal, uses said fight animal to capture other fight animals in little balls as to climb up a ladder of power to reach a gym boss which he must beat to fight another boss which awards him the title of Pokemon Master, a title which he is never satisfied with and throws away all his old companions for the next season.

 SIAS: Dwarf Fortress

[CJ1145]

A game where the player leads a team of dwarves and attempts to create a thriving city, which will inevitably be destroyed in a glorious and somewhat elephant-related action; this is generally considered great fun.

SIAS: The Plot to the Matrix.

[Heron TSG]

3/5

A movie that ruthlessly exploits the rule of cool, causing the main character to suddenly know kung fu because everybody's minds made it happen.

SIAS: Call of the Wild (book)

[Squeegy]

Thank you for rating the SIAS above you and including a new SIAS topic in your post.

[Dragooble]

5/5 for extensive use of tropes

a dog gets taken from his home in California by a gambling gardener so he can be sold as a sled dog to look for gold in Canada.

SIAS: Half life 2 episode 2: gnome achievement.

[Squeegy]

2/5.

Patience and a thorough abuse of bugs ends with a Crowning Moment of Awesome as you watch a garden gnome sail into the ozone layer.

SIAS: 4chan

A Goddamn Cesspool of Internet Fads, Tropes, Spam, and other stuff.
