Topic: Safe Words 9: Them's Fightin' Words! Fight's over, nothing to see here folks

[Mop it up]

Hey everyone, it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty and start hurlin' insults and blowin' fools up! Don't forget that this time around, there's a twist in how things are done! This game uses phrases in place of words. When you choose a phrase, you also now choose a player on which you want to target with the phrase. If the phrase you chose is safe, then the player you chose is safe. If the phrase you chose is the bomb, then the player you chose blows up! Each player can be chosen only once per round, so everyone will still be in danger each round. You cannot choose yourself. If you are the one who has chosen which phrase is armed as the bomb phrase for a round, you are not allowed to tell other players which one you chose. I'm watching you! I'll know!

Here is an example of how a round works: the selections are all phrases, and each one has a blank space in it. You will then choose one phrase, and then choose one player and insert their name into the blank. As an example, let's say a phrase you want to choose is "_______ is a big meanie head" and the player you want to target is Mop it up. You would simply post:

"Mop it up is a big meanie head."

If this phrase is safe, then it would be Mop it up who is safe. If this phrase is the bomb, then Mop it up explodes! So, the idea is actually to try to choose which phrase is the bomb this time, so that you can explode the player you've chosen.

The phrases are all quotes from forum posts of various NWR members, slightly modified to have a blank for a name to be inserted. Since they're all about NWR, then you know what that means...



Hm, if this theme is NWR, and with this twist of actually targeting other members and trying to blow them up with bombs, I guess this may play out a bit more like a Mafia game instead. Perhaps I should just instead have everyone vote for a player, and then whoever gets the most votes is out. Hm, but then I would also have to write a story and that would be tricky. Speaking of which, we haven't done a Mafia game in a long time, are those officially dead? They were fun while they lasted, but the last few times haven't had much participation so it might be time to just retire them. I should probably be spending more time playing actual Nintendo games anyway instead of forum games, I've still got plenty more Super Mario Maker to play. Oh hey, why don't we share our levels in here? Not like anything else is going on.

...Oh whoops, I think I fell into another problem of NWR:



Ahem. Well, we better get started before we all get distracted again. Hm, distracted, that's a funny word. Does anyone ever get tracted? I'm focused! I'm focused! Let us begin.

I mean, c'mon. Right now we all know "Nintendo has seen fit to pander to the increasingly senile NWR_insanolord & his motion control obsession"

[Stratos]

I am beyond stoked that you chose to use my image for your game. This is an all new forum highlight for me!

[Mop it up]

Wow! Right off the bat we have an elimination. Poor Insanolord didn't even get a turn yet, and just like when a thread gets derailed and a train can't stay on the track...



This gives Soren control of the bomb for the next round, which will begin as soon as it's chosen.

[Stratos]

WAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

That might be the best thing I've done on this forum yet.

[Khushrenada]

Hopefully I can return the favor by stating that:

oohhboy is too reasonable for this forum.

Wow, Soren, wow! You fulfilled the potential of this game instantly. I think everyone was hoping to do that. Take a bow.

[Mop it up]

oohhboy may just be too reasonable for this forum... and that's why he'll need to stick around! He is now safe.

This brings the choice to Nickmitch. What'll it be?

First, choose a phrase:

1. "_______ is kind of a snarky bastard."
2. "Nintendo no smart like _______ am."
3. "I feel like _______ doesn't really have anything substantial to say."

I just knew that one would be a popular pick. That play went even better than I hoped it would go.

[nickmitch]

Lucariofan99 is kind of a snarky bastard.

[Mop it up]

He may yet be, but he's also a safe one.

Next up is ShyGuy. Don't be shy, guy!

First, choose a phrase:

Lucariofan is hardly the person on the forums I'd call snarky.

[ShyGuy]

Soren seems like mafia to me...

I'm tempted to use my own quote, but I will go with

It's a shame that SOREN doesn't consider the site worth supporting at all...

I'm not, mad I'm just disappointed.

[Mop it up]

You may also find it a shame that he is now safe.

Next up, we have TOPHATANT123. Can he do it?

First, choose a phrase:

1. "Nintendo no smart like _______ am."

We're in senility awareness month so I suppose it's only natural.

Senile, silenced, he sure is a lot of S words. Including "safe."

It now falls to Lucariofan99. Only a few choices left!

[Mop it up]

Despite the poor formatting, I'm able to figure it out. If ShyGuy does have something substantial to say, we'll never know, as his train of thought never made it to the station.



Yeouch. Poor guy. I imagine he will also be shy of trains after this.

And with that, we have our second elimination! This gives Lucariofan99 the next choice of bomb, so the game will resume as soon as I receive it.

[ShyGuy]

I TOLD YOU SOREN WAS MAFIA

[Mop it up]

The phrase is chosen and the game resumes!

The first up in round 3 is Silenced! What will he choose?

First, choose a phrase:

1. "_______ is too reasonable for this forum."
2. "_______ is kind of a snarky bastard."
3. "Nintendo no smart like _______ am."

Dead players shouldn't be posting spoilers! 

[Silenced]

Khush is too reasonable for this forum.


I'm a fan of irony.

[Mop it up]

Wow! And just like that, after round two going for so long, round three begins and ends with one choice!



Poor Khushrenada can't catch a break. Whether it's Mafia or Safe Words, he always seems to be a popular target and draws attention to himself.

This now gives Silenced the next choice of bomb, and round 4 will start once he sends it in.

[Khushrenada]

Welp. Silenced just made my list. The "dead to me" list. Dun dun duuuuunnnn.

[Silenced]

This is revenge for hating on Sonic Safe Words.


I AM NOW AVENGED.

[Mop it up]

The phrase is chosen and the trainwreck continues!

We now finally get to Stratos at the bottom of the list. Can he also strike?

First, choose a phrase:

1. "_______ is kind of a snarky bastard."
2. "Nintendo no smart like _______ am."
3. "Lettuce Cat is so last week. Mock me for being behind the times. is so last week. Mock _______ for being behind the times."

[Stratos]

"Lettuce Cat is so last week. Mock me for being behind the times. is so last week. Mock Soren for being behind the times." (and for removing his Soren avatar. I liked that character)

[Mop it up]

Huh, I just noticed that the word filter is still active for "Lettuce Cat is so last week. Mock me for being behind the times.," so anyone who has the filter on is probably confused at that sentence.

In any case, we can continue to mock Soren as he is safe.

He is also the next one up to choose as we return to the top of the order. What's your pick Soren?

1. "_______ is kind of a snarky bastard."
2. "Nintendo no smart like _______ am."
3. "It's a shame that _______ doesn't consider the site worth supporting at all"
4. "_______ is just interested in how things make them feel, not hard facts and reality."

Lucariofan99 may be poor, but he's rich in safeness.

We now come to oohhboy. Oh boy oh boy!

1. "_______ is kind of a snarky bastard."

HEY!

oh and RIP silence I am the bomb king

I like that Lucariofan99 still doesn't get that Silenced blew me up and I'm the one who's resting in pieces while Silenced is very much still alive and playing this game.

That makes it sound like we'd be better off if Stratos got exploded, but unfortunately he is safe. From explosives at least.

From the authorities however, well, not so much.

[nickmitch]

Nintendo no smart like Silenced am.

[Mop it up]

I'm not sure if either of them are smart, but they do both know a thing or two about bombs. Unfortunately, Silenced is about to be silenced by having a close look at one.



Ouch, taken out by his own bomb choice. Normally that would happen if everyone got through the rotation, but not in this crazy stupid game!

This now means nickmitch shall choose the next phrase.

[Wah]

HEY!
I just don't have a credit card, ok...

oh and RIP silence I am the bomb king

I like that Lucariofan99 still doesn't get that Silenced blew me up and I'm the one who's resting in pieces while Silenced is very much still alive and playing this game.

That makes it sound like we'd be better off if Stratos got exploded, but unfortunately he is safe. From explosives at least.

From the authorities however, well, not so much.

oh.... OH! oh.... whoops

[Silenced]

I took Khush out, so in my eyes I am the savior of Safe Words 9.

[Khushrenada]

Grasping at straws. Nobody ever wants to take me out because I bring so much energy to the game. Taking me out is like trying to kill the game. You are more like the devastator of Safe Words 9. nickmitch is now a hero by getting swift justice for the remaining players.

[Silenced]

You don't see? My whole plan is to kill Safe Words. By eliminating you, I find myself on the precipice of success, preparing to launch a glorious final assault that will leave the Funhouse in ruins. Then I will begin a new reign of terror, with more Sonic-themed forum games at the forefront.


And still the populace remains unaware...

[Stratos]

Oh gods, what have you done! Grima's return is nigh upon us! Run away! Flee in terror!

[Mop it up]

So... what should I do if Nickmicth doesn't select a phrase to arm soon?

[Stratos]

Self destruct?

[Khushrenada]

Put me back in coach! I'm ready to play!

[Phil]

Put me back in coach! I'm ready to play!

Center field, baby!

oohhboy has his turn right now, providing a real threat to Soren and TOPHATANT123. If the player he chooses survives, then it means the other player will be forced to take the bomb. Who will it be?

Oohhboy! Oh boy oh boy oohh bbooyy!

Hm, I guess there's less reason to build suspense in this game since the guesser isn't the one on the line.

Regardless, so endeth Soren's reign of terror as oohhboy has unleashed the bomb (and the authorities) on him.



With his successful guess, oohhboy now gets to choose the next bomb.

[oohhboy]

Woot! Here comes the black van!

[Soren]

I still had the kill of the game...

[Mop it up]

The phrase is chosen and the game resumes! With half the players gone, things now get serious as the likelihood of getting passed the bomb increases!

Lettice Cat is so last week. Mock Lucariofan99 for being behind the times.

[Mop it up]

He's done it! Nickmitch has scored his third elimination this game and taken out Lucariofan99 with his own bomb!



With this success, Nickmitch will now get to decide the bomb phrase for the final round, and TOPHATANT123 will be the one to guess. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!

[TOPHATANT123]

So it's come down to this. *Chuckle


I'm in your head Nickmitch, I already know what you're going to to pick.


So go on, bring it!

[nickmitch]

Hat Trick, bitch!!!

[Wah]

NOOOO! MITCH I was so close!
I lurked and the shadows and waited and then my strike failed...

[Mop it up]

And here it is, the final round shall now commence with TOPHATANT123 making the final choice. Remember, your goal is to choose which one you think is the bomb, as this will blow up Nickmitch and make you the winner! Otherwise, Nickmitch will win.

What's it's going to be, TOPHATANT123?

1. "It's a shame that nickmitch doesn't consider the site worth supporting at all"
-or-
2. "Remove the nickmitch parasite from the world."

[TOPHATANT123]

It's a shame nickmitch doesn't consider the site worth supporting at all.

[Mop it up]

Wow! He's done it! Nickmitch has -- no, excuse me, TOPHATANT123 has outsmarted Nickmitch and has hurled the final insult! Nickmitch can no longer support the site even if he wanted to as his train has been permanently derailed.



This means TOPHATANT123 is the only person who didn't get distracted by insults and start rambling off topic, allowing his train of thought to arrive safely at the station.

TOPHATANT123 is the winner of Safe Words 9!

I hope everyone had some fun with this wild 'n crazy setup, or perhaps you have a few choice insults you'd care to sling my way...?

[oohhboy]

Guess you ran out of train fires.

[TOPHATANT123]

Woo! My first kill, but I made it count. Also my first win, now I can shoot up that leader board.

[nickmitch]

NOOOOOO!!!!
