Topic: Safe Words 12: It's true! We rue this Wii U review too. Final Round!

[Stratos]

I tried and last time it was blank, I don't think images work like that?
 
Testing again.

~Yeah, that doesn't work

[Order.RSS]

Gonna tempt fate here and try to be safe with the option that includes a target blast mode, Super Smash Bros. For Wii U!

[Khushrenada]

Gutsy choice. Except for the fact that Smash Bros. is really popular. Steefosauris is a Safe-o-saurus. Wow. My wit is off the chartz this game.


Now we point the gun in TofuFury's direction and make him choose a game. These are the remaining selections:

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

Hahahaha perfect

[TofuFury]

I'll make my choice Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

[Khushrenada]

Well, I'd tell you to jump for joy since you're safe but Captain Toad doesn't jump so I guess waddle side to side for a victory celebration. TofuFury successfully advances to Round 5.

Now things are starting to tense up this round. We go back to Soren. He has only these few games to choose from:

Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

[Soren]

I'm going to go with Splatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata Splatoooooooooooooon

[Khushrenada]

If Marie is in the game then it's got to be safe. Soren avoids danger again.

This means Fatty_The_Hutt is now up. We're running out of Safe Words. Can Fatty still select one of the remaining options left? There's only the following still in play:


Mario Kart 8
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

[Fatty The Hutt]

I'll go with Yoshi and hope he doesn't accidentally swallow something explosively unpleasant. I mean, he probably has hairballs from all that wool anyway.

[Khushrenada]

Yarn Yoshi poops out some smelly yarn and hands it to Fatty. It doesn't explode. Fatty thanks him and vows to make a sweater from the yarn to commemorate his safe passage into round 6.

Uh-oh. Things are getting pretty tense now. Will Stratos self-destruct himself out of this game or will one of the last two players who have to choose be taken down first? The next player is Insanolord. Cue the boos!

He has only these three choices left to select from:

Mario Kart 8
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X

[Mop it up]

It was me, Mop it up. I'm trying to kill you, and everyone else playing the game. Especially Shyguy though; gotta keep my lead over him!

That's the thing, I expect this sort of behavior from you, or even ShyGuy. But it was Soren who had chosen that bomb word! An enemy I didn't even know I had!

[Khushrenada]

You all notice I'm not on Mop it up's enemy list? That's because I'm the only user she can trust. Heck, I'm the only user any of you can trust. I'd say it's definitely time I became an admin around here. C'mon. You can trust me.

[Khushrenada]

Should I tell Insanolord he has 24 hours left to choose or just let him self-destruct? Decisions, decisions...

[NWR_insanolord]

I didn't realize it was my turn. Having the thread stickied makes it easy to miss when there are new posts. I guess I'll go with the only one of the three I've played, Mario Kart 8.

[Khushrenada]

Fine. Pick a Safe Word. Move on to the next round. See if I care.

Because we've come to the end of Round 5 which is far more interesting since it's Mop it up vs Stratos. How delicious. Not only that it's the 2 RPG games still standing. One is safe and one is not.

The final choice goes to Mop it up. If she gets it right, Stratos is eliminated on his own choice. 50/50 odds. What will she choose?

Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X

[Mop it up]

C'mon guys what the mop is this?! I have a bad feeling I'm about to become the new UncleBob...

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE

[Khushrenada]

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE

I'm not sure about that. UncleBob usually waited until the end of the game to blow up. You're doing it way too early.







Since there is no Game Over screen for the game except a fade to black and the title starting over, I'll go with a picture of the various characters at rest.




This means Insanolord chooses the next bomb word. Truly, this is the darkest timeline....

[Khushrenada]

If I didn't know better, I'd think someone is trying to kill me!

She was right all along! And it was Stratos who did it! #Neverforget

[Mop it up]

Well I'm not exactly like him, but he usually flubbed up the 50/50 shots.

Nertz, I think this is the earliest I've bowed out of a game, or at least one of them. I thought he'd choose Xenoblade X since no one had selected it yet. I blame Insanolord, he was supposed to choose the bomb!

Also, I think it would be interesting to see statistics of how many times people got to choose which word is the bomb. I feel like I hardly ever get to so I wonder if that's really true, though it could just feel that way since with this number of players, odds are low for any individual player to get to choose it.

Do you mean how many times a person has done it over multiple games or just over one game? For this game, only person has been able to select it twice and that's Steefosaurus because Evan_B immediately blew up giving him a quick second pick. Otherwise, it's been a different person for the rest of the game.

[Khushrenada]

The new bomb word has been selected and Round 6 is now underway.

First up is Stratos who just avoided being blown up by his own choice. Doesn't seem fair that such level of failure should be rewarded by getting a high chance of safety for the next round but that's how this cruel game works. He can choose from the wide abundance of:

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

[Mop it up]

Yeah, I mean across all games so far combined.

[Stratos]

Gotta go with my gut! Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival!

[Khushrenada]

Why did I make that game an option? There's no explosions in it! Gotta borrow some fireworks from New Leaf...







There is no Game Over screen for this game. So, this will have to do.



So long, Stratos! You can probably kiss your number 1 position on the leaderboard goodbye! (Depending on what ShyGuy does this round.)


This means Insanolord will choose another bomb word. Congrats on the rest of the players for being able to advance to the next round.

[Khushrenada]

Insanolord has chosen the next bomb word. Round 7 is underway. Round 7 is the halfway point of this game so congrats to those still alive.

First to choose is ShyGuy. If he survives this round, he can take back first place on the all-time leaderboard. He has the following games to choose from:


Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World
