I see... Moving right along then. Well then, how about a very thin plot for the game. An evil criminal organization has stolen a weapon of mass destruction and you are James Bond's allies as he tracks down the villains responsible to recover the device and foil their plan. Highly original if I do say so myself.
There is a list of words that will be used throughout the game. One player will select a word or phrase from the list. That choice will be kept hidden from the remaining players. This word is considered the bomb word.
After the bomb word is chosen, the remaining players must all choose a word or phrase from the list. Every time a word or phrase is chosen, it is removed from the list for that round. No two players can select the same word or phrase. If a player does not choose the bomb word, then they are safe for that round and move on to the next. If a player selects the bomb word, they are eliminated from the game and the bomb word is removed from the list for the rest of the game.
If none of the remaining players choose the bomb word, then the player who selected it to start the round is forced to choose their own word and is eliminated. The game is played until there is only one player still left standing and that player is declared the winner.
The List!
For this themed game, the selection of words and phrases will be the following:
Moneypenny
Q
Thunderball
S.M.E.R.S.H.
Timothy Dalton
Oddjob
Goldeneye 64
George Lazenby
Jaws
James Bond Jr.
"Yes! I am invincible!"
"Suck it, Trebek"
Wait! Is that last one even James Bond related?
And now for the fun part. The order selection. We begin the game with the following order of players:
This means ShyGuy will choose the first bomb word and Soren will begin the choosing of safe words for round mission 1. I've sent a pm to ShyGuy. Once he sends me his selection, the game will begin. Who here will prove that they have a licence to kill?
Finishing Order:
12. oohhboy (eliminated by ShyGuy selection) 11. TOPHATANT123 (eliminated by Stratos selection) 10. nickmitch (eliminated by Stratos selection) 09. Triforce Hermit (eliminated by Lucariofan99 selection) 08. Stratos (eliminated by Stratos selection) 07. Mop it up (eliminated by Nuclearspeed selection) 06. Soren (eliminated by Nuclearspeed selection) 05. Silenced (eliminated by ShyGuy selection) 04. ShyGuy (eliminated by ShyGuy selection) 03. Lucariofan99 (eliminated by Lucariofan99 selection) 02. Insanolord (eliminated by Nuclearspeed selection) 01. Nuclearspeed (Winner!)

While we wait, perhaps you would like to know how the player selection rotation was chosen for this game. Wait! Come back! I'll keep it brief. I promise.
Basically, it was a test to see how much your username is like the name James Bond. That name consists of the following letters: ABDEJMNOS. For every letter in your username that matched one of the letters in Bond's name, you were given a point. Even if you had the same letter a couple times, like 2 S's or O's, you were still given points for those multiple letters. That point total was then divided by the total number of characters your username had. Based on that percentage, the list was then made from highest percentage to lowest. In the case of a tie, the username with the most unique Bond letters was given the advantage.

Ah, nice. I must admit, this was bringing back memories of it for me as well and I was afraid of making this a bit derivative.
In other news, the bomb word has been selected.
Soren, you have the honors of choosing first. Your can select one of the following:
Moneypenny, Q, Thunderball, S.M.E.R.S.H., Timothy Dalton, Oddjob, Goldeneye 64, George Lazenby, Jaws, James Bond Jr., "Yes! I am invincible!" or "Suck it, Trebek".

Ok, I got dis. I just gotta choose what Stratos wouldn't choose then choose the opposite or not depending on the level of bluff I expect. Shouldn't be too close to the top, shouldn't be too close to the end of the list either, but I should also follow my gut... I'm guessing you're a quadruple bluff kind of person Stratos. The circle formed with the thumb and first finger and the 3 other fingers pointing upwards represents OK, as in, we OK there is no bomb here.
So I'm going with: Thunderball

He knows the meaning of success. His needs are more, so he gives less. They call him the winner who takes all. And he strikes, like Thunderball.
And just like that, ruthless assassin that he is, Agent Stratos has taken out Agent TOPHATANT123 and gets to reload for another kill.

Unfortunately, Miss Moneypenny was a diversion and Stratos uses the distraction to make another kill.
On the plus side, nickmitch did make a... hole-in-one. And so continues the recent tradition of nickmitch dying in a non-explosive way. Ha ha ha. I love it.
This means Agent 117 aka Lucariofan99 gets to make the next bomb word selection. May God have mercy on you poor souls.

Goldeneye 64 I found his weakness Goldeneye 64 he'll do what I please Goldeneye 64 no time for sweetness But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees
You'll never know how I watched you From the shadows as a child You'll never know how it feels to be the one Who's left behind You'll never know the days, the nights, The tears, the tears I've cried But now my time has come And time, time is not on your side
See him move through smoke and mirrors Feel his presence in the crowd Other girls they gather around him If I had him I wouldn't let him out
Goldeneye 64 not lace or leather Golden chains take him to the spot Goldeneye 64 I'll show him forever It'll take forever to see What I've got
You'll never know how I watched you From the shadows as a child You'll never know how it feels to get so close And be denied It's a gold and honey trap I've got for you tonight Revenge it's a kiss, this time I won't miss Now I've got you in my sights With a goldeneye 64, golden, goldeneye 64 With a goldeneye 64, goldeneye 64

Also, as an aside, something I was wondering is whether players want to get a pm for when it is their turn. I'll usually send out a pm to alert everyone that it has begun and the first time a player's turn comes up in the hopes that it will leave a reminder in all player's minds to keep checking in on the thread. I also want to be conservative with my use of private messages and not come across as impatient. Thus, I thought I should just check and see what everyone would prefer. If you'd like me to send you a message for when it is your turn, just jump in this thread and say so at anytime. If you don't want to get messages for when it is your turn, then don't post anything asking to get them. I won't be offended.

SMERSH is a fictional Soviet counterintelligence agency featured in Ian Fleming's early James Bond novels as agent 007's nemesis. SMERSH is the acronym of Spetsyalnye MEtody Razoblacheniya SHpyonov, meaning "Special Methods of Spy Detection", (in Russian Cyrillic СМЕРШ: Специальные Методы Разоблaчения Шпионов).
The more you know. Not that it matters since you are safe!

I have to say, that's a pretty good choice. Insanolord is safe which means this is a spy vs spy face-off of Nuclearspeed vs Stratos. It all comes down to Nuclearspeed's pick of either:
George Lazenby or "Yes! I am invincible!"
What will it be?

Post by: Silenced on December 07, 2015, 09:23:59 AM
Come now. You can't turn down this baby face unless you're a James Bond director
It looks like I will be going with the one hit wonder George Lazenby . Hopefully Her Majesty will allow him to save me.
One and done. Sometimes, one is enough. Nuclearspeed is safe and outwits Stratos!
This means that super-agent Stratos proved to be more of a henchman than mastermind criminal and has now been dispatched by his own hand. Turns out, he's not so invincible. I think we're all aware of the liquid nitrogen death scene at this point, so let's just blow him up!
I'm afraid in this game, you only live once. That means Nuclearspeed recovers some info from the dead agent Stratos and takes command of the bomb word. But which agent is he now after?

Mop it up is the first to try in this mission. Her choices are:
Q, S.M.E.R.S.H., Timothy Dalton, Oddjob, Goldeneye 64, George Lazenby, or James Bond Jr.

Title: Re: Safe Words 7: I Expect You to Die. Mission Six.
Post by: Khushrenada on December 08, 2015, 05:23:32 PM
To be honest, my initial idea for this Safe Words game (and its mine so nobody better bloody steal it!) was famous last words with a bunch of things like "I'll never blow up" and "Every word I pick is safe". One of the options I thought about was "Yes! I am invincible!". Then with the Spectre moving coming out and this being the 7th game, I decided to shift it to a Bond focus instead but I threw in the "Yes! I am invincible!" choice to gauge reaction to it. I think I really want to do the famous last words theme next game now.
In the meantime, glad you asked about James Bond Jr.! Here's some highlights about him!
And I may have read a book or two of his series when I was a kid....
And just like that, after taking down the most ruthless agent so far in Stratos, Nuclearspeed serves notice to all other players to watch out with a quick elimination of Mop it up. This means Nuclearspeed will, once again, choose the next bomb word.
Title: Re: Safe Words 7: I Expect You to Die. Mission Seven.
Post by: Khushrenada on December 08, 2015, 05:29:42 PM
This also means we've reached the half way point in the game as well. While we wait for Nuclearspeed's choice, I feel we should all take a moment to appreciate one of the great James Bond Jr. titles since that selection is no longer with us. I am, of course, talking about:
Just brilliant. As much as I try to be clever on this site, I could never come up with something like that.

Lucarofan99 is the first to try. His options are:
Q, S.M.E.R.S.H., Timothy Dalton, Oddjob, Goldeneye 64, or George Lazenby
And another agent is down. This means Shyguy will be choosing the next bomb word. It would appear we've all become trapped in his diabolical plan to hold us hostages in his game-delaying tactics. Will the agents be able to escape capture from ShyGuy or will they just be collateral damage in his quest to rule this game?

I really need to stop second-guessing myself in these games. I was originally going to choose Q or S.M.E.R.S.H. again, but then I thought he might choose one of those since they're what I picked. Then I was going to choose Goldeneye 64, but decided against it since he might choose that knowing I like the N64. So then I just picked something from what was left.

The game is afoot and has resumed.
Silenced is the first one up. Can he escape from the ShyGuy's diabolical lair or will he meet his demise at ShyGuy's hands?
The choices are:
Q, Timothy Dalton, Oddjob, Goldeneye 64, or George Lazenby.

And now let's take a look at this Safe Words Final Four.
Up to this point, there has been a different Safe Words winner every game. However, that may be coming to an end as there are 3 previous winners still alive and kicking in the Final Four. Will we see a repeat winner or will someone new once again claim the title of Safe Words Winner? We shall soon find out which of these contestants will be able to successfully navigate the bomb words and find the safe words they need to claim victory with such little wiggle room left.
Insanolord - The only player in the Final Four who has not won a Safe Words game yet. (Yay!) If other players are hoping none of the other previous winners succeed again, he is their only hope. (Boo!) Insanolord is the only player in the final four who has not had the ability to choose the bomb word for the round and eliminate another player with it. He's had to survive by good safe word choices only. Insanolord is also one of the few players who has played every Safe Words game and has now tied UncleBob for most appearances in a Safe Words Final Four by reaching it this round for the fourth time in his playing history. Yet, the best he has ever done is 3rd place in Safe Words 2. He's been eliminated at fourth place in the last two games, Safe Words 5 and 6. Will history repeat itself with a third straight fourth place finish or will Insanolord finally advance to a new Safe Words height he's never reached and actually, gulp, win a game?! And even stranger, why am I starting to respect his gameplay and am becoming ok with that possibility? I should have never done this write up!
In Safe Words 5, he was in the Final 4 with ShyGuy who went on to win the game and in Safe Words 6, he was in the Final Four with Lucariofan99 who went on to win the game. He has never faced Nuclearspeed in a Final Four situation. Will Insanolord be able to get some revenge for his past losses or will ShyGuy and Lucariofan99 triumph over him again? Will Insanolord be able to dash the hopes of the other players hoping to be the first to win a second Safe Words game?

Nuclearspeed - Nuclearspeed has had one of the most dramatic rise and falls in this game. In his first game, Safe Words 2, he bombed out badly by picking the bomb word out of a 14 word list and was the first one out. It remains the worst loss yet, due to the fact that we hardly have 14 players in a game to create a 14 word list for someone else to lose at. However, not to dwell on the negative, Nuclearspeed would improve from 15th place in Safe Words 2 to 10th place in Safe Words 3. Ah, but then the magic happened. In Safe Words 4, Nuclearspeed made it to the Final Four. There, after a bunch of rounds in which all players used their Safe Guesses to survive automatic eliminations, Nuclearspeed finally emerged from that closely fought battle and became the 4th Safe Words Winner! He followed that victory with an 11th place finish in Safe Words 5 and didn't even show up for Safe Words 6. However, he used that time off to clearly train and shake off that loss as seen by his return to the Final Four this game. Although he doesn't have the highest elimination count this game, he has been active by taking out two players via his bomb word selections on his way to this Final Four appearance and the second overall Final Four appearance he has made in his Safe Words playing history.
This marks the 5th game Nuclearspeed has played and, as shown by his history, he seems to be a feast or famine player. If he isn't out early, he's making it to the end. In his one Final Four appearance, he faced ShyGuy in that Final Four and was able to beat him on his way to victory. He also had to face UncleBob, who was making his fourth in a row Final Four appearance, and beat him along with New Zealander oohhboy. In this game's Final Four, besides facing ShyGuy, he's also facing Insanolord, who's making his fourth Final Four appearance, and Australian Dingbat Outbacker Lucariofan99. Interesting parallel. Will this make for the same recipe of success as Nuclearspeed found in Safe Words 4? Will he be able to make Safe Words history again as the First Two-Time Winner of Safe Words? Or will his time away finally catch up with him against some deadly competition?

Lucariofan99 - Like Insanolord, Lucariofan99 seems to be playing a pretty solid game of correct safe word choices and not attracting much attention to himself or his gameplay. However, he has had the opportunity to control the bomb word selection once and has eliminated a player by it on his way here, unlike Insanolord. Of all the players in the Final Four this game, Lucariofan has the lowest cumulative game score. That's because this is only his 4th time playing this game. Yet, he was one of the first players to participate in the very first Safe Words game. He ended up in 9th place. And then he disappeared and did not play another Safe Words game until Safe Words 5. In that game, he also made some Safe Words infamous history by being able to choose the first bomb word and then accidently posting his choice in the thread. Unfortunately, before he could erase it, the players all seemed to have seen it and the first round ended with all players choosing a safe word and Lucariofan99 being eliminated by his own bomb word to finish in 14th place. Yet, he would go from 14th to 1st in his very next game which is the most dramatic rise and difference of a player's performance from one game to the next. In Safe Words 6, he completely turned his game around and solidly marched to the end outwitting Mop it up with his bomb word choice for victory. In fact, Khushrenada, sensing that Lucariofan99 was surpassing expectations by surviving so long even predicated that Lucariofan99 would probably win the thing right after the halfway mark of the game and he was right.
Showing that the win last game wasn't a fluke and that he had learned how to play this game after all, Lucariofan99 now makes the Final Four for the second time in a row. He is only the 4th player to achieve the feat of back to back Final Fours in Safe Words games. UncleBob is the first with 4 in a row, Insanolord has now accomplished 3 in a row and ShyGuy has also had 2 in a row. In another first for Safe Words, Lucariofan99 is the first winner to make it to the Final Four in their next game. No winner has ever won another Safe Words game, let alone back to back Safe Words games, but Lucariofan99 is the only player in this game who has the chance of accomplishing both of those feats if he can survive and win. In his only Final Four appearance, he faced off against Insanolord who is also in this Final Four as mentioned before. Unlike last time, he is also facing other players who have won before in ShyGuy and Nuclearspeed. Will he be able to overcome such fierce competition to do the impossible and win back to back games after losing in the first round by his own bomb choice just two games ago? Lucariofan99 hasn't lost in 17 straight rounds. Will he be able to make it 3 more rounds for the win or is 20 straight rounds to much for any player? Of all the people who have played Safe Words, he may have seemed the most improbable player by everyone else to accomplish such a feat leading up to Safe Words 6 and yet he's the first to get to this point since then despite this being only the second time he's made the Final Four in a game!

ShyGuy - Last but certainly not least, we come to the suddenly notorious ShyGuy. Although getting some flack thrown his way for his seemingly lengthy Safe Words selections, ShyGuy has refused to let it bother him or speed up his selection time. And why would he when it has clearly been working for him since he as reached the Final Four for the 3rd time in his Safe Words playing history. Like Insanolord, ShyGuy has played in every Safe Words game. You got to respect that. He's finished all over in various games but often times in the middle of the pack like 6th or 7th. However, 5th time was the charm for ShyGuy as he went on to win the Sonic Safe Words game which is the most complicated Safe Words game we've played up to this point as well with all the different items and abilities it had. He accomplished that win without using any of the items and, after getting to 4th place in Safe Words 4, become the second player at the time to make the Final Four in back to back games.
In this game, only 4 players have been able to select the bomb words for a round. One of those players, Stratos, did not make it to the Final Four. The other three, Nuclearspeed, Lucariofan99 and ShyGuy have made it to the Final Four. ShyGuy has had control of the Bomb Word twice so far and eliminated two other players so far. Going in to the Final Four, ShyGuy controls the bomb word again which will tie him with Stratos for most control of the bomb word and most players eliminated. Of course, Stratos ended up eliminating himself with his third usage of the Bomb Word selection. Will ShyGuy suffer the same fate or will he be able to avoid it? And will he end up breaking the tie with Stratos and possibly control the Bomb Word a few more times to get himself to victory? In Safe Words 4, ShyGuy made the Final Four with Nuclearspeed in a Final Four situation that has some resemblance to the Final Four situation of this game. Will ShyGuy suffer another defeat at the hands of Nuclearspeed or will he be able to turn the tables on him this game? In Safe Words 5, ShyGuy faced off against Insanolord in that Final Four? Will ShyGuy be able to thwart him again or will he fall to the NWR's Community Tyrant? And what about Lucariofan99 who seems to have suddenly become, yes, invincible? With all his Safe Words experience, having just won it two games ago and his control of the bomb word, ShyGuy would seem like the player with the best chance to get to the end and win thereby becoming the first player to be a Two-Time Safe Words Winner. Can he be the blunt instrument he needs to be to do this? We shall soon find out.

Finally, one last interesting tidbit about this game's Final Four players. All of these players placed dead last in a Safe Words game. Nuclearspeed was the first one out in Safe Words 2. ShyGuy was the first one out in Safe Words 3. Insanolord was the first one out in Safe Words 4. Lucariofan99 was the first one out in Safe Words 5. That's right. The first players out from Safe Words 2-5 are the Final Four this game. Not only that, Nuclearspeed won Safe Words 4, ShyGuy won Safe Words 5 and Lucariofan99 won Safe Words 6. That means the last three winners from 4-6 are the Final Four of this game as well. It just Insanolord that keeps this from being an all champion round. Unfortunately, does that mean Insanolord is due to win this game since he is the only one to not win a game after going out first in a game like the others? Does this mean it is his turn to win a game and keep himself joined with these other 3 players in some weird worst and first Safe Words history?
We shall soon find out as ShyGuy has selected the next Bomb Word and Insanolord is the first to choose this round.
The choices are:
Timothy Dalton, Oddjob, Goldeneye 64, or George Lazenby.
Title: Re: Safe Words 7: I Expect You to Die. Mission Nine.
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 12, 2015, 01:35:01 AM
Going with Oddjob. Depending on which version of GoldenEye this is I'm either going to be virtually invincible or headshotted immediately. Come on, Pierce Brosnan!
Title: Re: Safe Words 7: I Expect You to Die. Mission Nine.
Post by: Khushrenada on December 12, 2015, 03:49:45 AM
All I wanted was a gif of Bond ducking Oddjob's hat to show he's safe. But can I get one? No. All the internet can give me is one with a football superimposed over the hat. Enjoy ducking the football of doom Insanolord.
And congratulations on reaching the next round and tying your highest position in a Safe Words game. That means one of our past winners will not be repeating. Which one will it be?
So, it comes down to this. Lucariofan99,aka Agent 117, has to choose between 2 words. If he gets it right, ShyGuy is gone and Lucariofan99 controls the bomb word. If Lucariofan99 gets it wrong, Nuclearspeed controls the bomb word.
That means 18 straight successful rounds for Lucariofan99 and he now controls the bomb word. Will he be able to get himself into the finals again or will Insanolord and Nuclearspeed be able to avoid his pick? We shall see once I receive Lucariofan99's choice. One thing's for sure, He's Dangerous!
As for ShyGuy, all that's left to choose is his bomb word choice of Goldeneye64 and thus he fell for his own chair bomb trap that he had planted for the other agents.
Looks like Insanolord just put himself into the final round for the first time and has a chance to win Safe Words. One more previous winner is about to get the boot. Will it be Nuclearspeed or Lucariofan99? It all depends on Nuclearspeed's choice.

I would feel better of choosing the leftovers from 3 if I got to do it like the Monty Hall problem. Oh well, guess I'll just throw my hat at it and go with Oddjob

With Lucariofan99 having to choose his own selection of George Lazenby, he is eliminated thus ending his run at 18 straight successful rounds and just short of back to back wins.
But, to be honest, I think he kind of deserved it. We almost have a final round of Timothy Dalton vs. George Lazenby. That would have been epic! Just think.
Title: Re: Safe Words 7: I Expect You to Die. Final Mission.
Post by: Khushrenada on December 15, 2015, 05:49:09 PM
It's an interesting storyline we have heading into this final round as well.
With the death of Lucariofan99, that means Nuclearspeed will be choosing the bomb word and Insanolord will be the one making the 50/50 choice of hopefully correctly choosing the only safe word left.
That means Insanolord will go the whole game without choosing a bomb word. He's survived this long by correctly guessing a safe word and if he's going to win his first game, he's going to have to win by correctly guessing the safe word one more time. It's a tricky spot to be in as UncleBob has shown from his two Safe Word final losses.
As for Nuclearspeed, this will be the third time he controls the bomb word and no matter the result, it will mean that he eliminates a 3rd player from the game. It ties him with Stratos and ShyGuy as the player to eliminate the most other players this game. However, both Stratos and ShyGuy eliminated themselves when they controlled the bomb word for the third time. Will Nuclearspeed break that trend to become the first Two-Time Winner of Safe Words or will third time not be the charm again?
Everyone ready to go? Everyone understands what's going to happen?
Oh. Sorry, Roger. Ok. Here's the scoop. Nuclearspeed is going to send me his choice for the bomb word and then Insanolord will make his guess as to what the safe word is. Then the winner will be announced. All clear?
..yes, expecting you to die for sometime. Yet, despite the efforts of 10 very good agents, you've managed to evade some highly effective assassins and their plots to kill you. And now, here we are. And you've selected Timothy Dalton. A good choice and a very under-rated Bond. However, there's one thing you neglected about him. Take a look at this poster.

Post by: Khushrenada on December 16, 2015, 04:33:08 AM
Now, there are many ways to take out an agent such as yourself but I like to do it using something dear to a person's heart. You know, to really wrench around the knife that's been put it their back. Therefore, I believe I will use my good friend Hank Scorpio to remove you from this game. Have at Mr. Scorpio.

With Insanolord out of the way, it's time I turn my attention to Mr. Nuclearspeed. Now, I wouldn't be much of villain if I let Nuclearspeed live as well. And Mr. Fluffles is nothing if not an evil genius master criminal. No, I think I shall have to eliminate you as well and declare myself the winner of Safe Words 7. Take him, Blofeld!
(http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/4/44/Yoltw-webley2.jpg/601px-Yoltw-webley2.jpg) So long, Mr. Nuclearspeed. It's been quite the ride.

This news does not please me. Perhaps Khush is to die another day. Perhaps one of the mods had a view to a kill with their licence to kill. Something, something GoldenEye.
But seriously, what is this nonsense? I like Khush. :(
