Problem: Article: Addressing the rules will make it more interesting (or challenging) for the whole group. It can also be done to handicap players that are significantly better at the game than the rest. Games like "Botticelli" are specialized by their theme (historical figures at least as famous as the Italian painter Sandro Botticelli) but invert some of the rules. In "Botticelli", players choose their own identities, and give other players the initial of their identities.  Celebrity" is another permutation of the game. Players write the names of a bunch of different celebrities on slips of paper and put them into a hat. From there, a player will take a name out of the hat and offer clues to other players. So long as the clues do not make mention of the name directly, any statement is fine. The goal is to get other players to figure out your celebrity as fast as possible. There are many possible alternatives. If you don't like "Yes" and "No" answers, you should try experimenting with something different. Well-known game versions can be borrowed from when making your own rules as well. In most games of "Who Am I?", people will ask one question each, going clockwise in a circle. Alternatively, the game can be done one person at a time, where a player can ask as many questions as he needs to before coming up with an answer. In fast-paced party environments, rules on asking order may be relaxed completely, resulting in a free-for-all of question asking and answering. Once you have the basics of the game down, you should experiment with these game orders. If you want to temper the competitive element with aspects of team play, split your group into two halves. Each half can become a team. From there you score each half as a whole. This may have the effect of making other players taking a greater interest in the round that's currently occurring.
Summary: Ask your group if they think any change should be made to the rules. Look into well-known variations of the game. Make variations to the game's order. Play in teams.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This can be a personal anecdote about why you are passionate about the topic, an anecdote about another person who the audience can learn from, a wisdom tale, fable, or a historic event or anecdote that captures the key points of your argument.  Your story should capture the essence of your debate. It could explore, for example, the challenges you have faced in relation to the topic, how you overcame these challenges, and the lessons you learned. For example, "As a person who suffers from seizures, medical marijuana was a saving grace. My family and I had to move across to the country in order for me to get treated, but it was worth the risk. My seizures decreased from five seizures a day to only one seizure per week." When rhetorical questions are crafted and delivered well, they can persuade an audience to side with your position. You want the audience to answer the question for themselves silently, while directing attention to your topic. Ask a question that convinces your audience that you are similar to them and that your share their beliefs. You can ask, for example, “Would you like to see a loved one suffer for no reason at all?” Your statistic should be directly related to your argument's main purpose. The impact of the statistic can persuade your audience to side with your way of addressing the issue at hand. You can say, for example, “A billion tons of plastic are floating in the ocean right now. That is enough plastic to make an island the size of Hawaii.” Then, proceed to talk about the issue and explain to your audience why your resolution is the best one. Using quotes in a speech reinforces and adds credibility to your ideas. Quotes also demonstrate that you are knowledgable about the topic. Your quote should be related to the topic, and relevant to the audience. Also, try to quote well-known people, or people your audience knows. For example, imagine you are giving a speech on why you think higher education is unnecessary for succeeding in life. You could open with, “Mark Twain once said, ‘Don’t let school interfere with your education.’” For example, a picture, video, or an object that captures the essence of your argument. A creative visual aid increases comprehension of the issue, adds aesthetic appeal, and engages your audience's imagination. It will also make the message more memorable. For example, if you are arguing that climate change is real, show a before and after picture of a glacier that has been affected by excessive amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

SUMMARY: Tell a captivating story. Ask a rhetorical question. State a shocking statistic. Use a powerful quote. Use a prop or a creative visual aid.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Try not to let the butter melt. Put waxed paper in the loaf pan and preheat the oven to 340ºF. If you don't have time to let the butter sit out, microwave for a few seconds at a time. Add sugar and cream the batter some more. It should now be at a grainy consistency. Add them little by little to the bowl of butter and sugar. Stir. Sift flour and baking powder tho the mix. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Cut it in the middle and bake it for another 20 minutes. Once it's done, cool on a wire rack. Pound cake tastes delicious with sweet vanilla ice cream, and fresh fruit, especially strawberries!
Summary: Leave the butter out at room temperature to soften it. Cream the butter with a spatula until it's creamy and smooth. Whisk the eggs to a froth. Pour the dough into the loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Take out the baked cake. Serve.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You could get dessert at the same restaurant where you eat, or go to a different place to wind down the night. No matter what type of date you had, it's nice to incorporate something sweet at the end. It is one last thoughtful touch that shows your date you put a lot of thought into planning the evening. Plus, it gives you the opportunity to share a dessert, just like in the movies.  Going out for ice cream is a nice way to end a date during the summer. If you're cooking at home, consider serving something with chocolate. It tends to be a favorite. If your date does not have a sweet tooth, you could go to a bar to grab a nightcap instead. Of course, if you or your date do not drink or are underage, this is not a good idea. Sometimes an individual cannot have rich desserts, especially those with diabetes. Or the person may have allergies, food sensitivities, medical conditions, or whatnot. Just be flexible and understanding. The end of a date can be a little awkward if you have not thought about it beforehand. Put some forethought into your plans. Are you going home separately after dinner? Do you plan to drop your date off after you're finished with dessert? Perhaps you may like to invite the person back to your house. Think about the logistics so you avoid that awkward “what now” moment after an otherwise perfect date.  Have your house ready in case you end up there. Have it clean and presentable. A kitchen with last night's dishes stacked in the sink and your dirty laundry in a pile on the floor will likely make a negative impression. End the date at a good time. Ending a date on the right note is tricky. In general, end it at a logical moment. For example, after the late movie ends, offer to drive her back to her place. It is generally better to end the date a little on the too early side than too late. Kiss, hug, or more? At the end of a date, especially a first one, generally a gesture will effectively end the date. This is sometimes a very awkward moment. Generally in a heterosexual date, the girl should decide what she is comfortable with offering the guy as a gesture. If something goes awry, remain calm and work towards having a good date anyway. A person who is inflexible, stresses out, and becomes irritable in the face of the unexpected will not be very successful with dates. In fact, dealing with the unexpected in a creative, positive way can make a big impression.
Summary:
Don't forget dessert. End gracefully. Go with the flow.
