Every time I come on the forums, my inbox is filled with people asking when are we going to do another Safe Words. Or so I thought would happen when I created this game.

Now, I get that the last time we played it seemed to make a perfect ending point with certain "storylines" and where things ended for some players. But like today's current entertainment line-up of reboots, remakes and revivals, the Khushrenada Corporation also believes the demand for more Safe Words games has been unsatiated and bringing it back will see more profits from the pre-existing fanbase created by its earlier successes. Best of all, Safe Words is trying to line up a corporate sponsor to help cover the cost and risk of bringing it back in the form of a fast food giant.

But which company should Safe Words enter a partnership with? There's only one way to solve this situation and that is to have a group of people constantly eating the fast food offerings of these places until one place gives them a heart attack. Then we'd remove that company from the list and keep going until there is only company left that has killed off those who have been eating from it constantly for so long. Seems like the best way to ensure no negative press will befall the Safe Words since obviously no one will be dying from that winning fast food company when they partner with them.

Now where can we find some volunteers willing to eat a lot of fast food? Well, I can not think of any place filled with more desperate and deranged people willing to take that risk than the NWR Forums and specifically those frequenting the NWR Funhouse. (You should have seen what those people were willing to eat at Mop it up's Restaurant.) So, if this task interests you then please sign-up below.

Perhaps you are one of the users on this forum who haven't played a Safe Words game or don't know how it works. Perhaps you are too shy to ask your physician for help to understand the game. Well, today is your lucky day as I now take a moment to explain this game in a simple post.

HOW TO PLAY

OVERLY SIMPLE VERSION: It is like Russian Roulette. After sign-ups are closed, the players are randomly assorted into a selection rotation. But what are they selecting? There is a list of words or phrases. One of those words is like the bullet in a gun used for Russian Roulette. If you select that phrase when it is your turn to choose from the list of phrases, then you lose. The bullet word is removed from the list and a new word is selected from the list to act as the bullet for the next round. Players then select phrases again until someone is eliminated. This process is repeated until only one person remains and is declared the winner. Think you have what it takes to choose the safe words and avoid the unsafe words? Then sign-up and find out.

Lol great opening post, Safe Words worldbuilding is the Star Trek to Forum Mafia's Star Wars.

I'm in too, so long as I won't have to eat fast food or cats.

I’ll play.

TOPHATANT123 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 12, 2020, 10:15:34 PM »

Count me in

Khushrenada · « **Reply #8 on:** January 13, 2020, 03:14:14 AM »

Will do. Nice bit of turnout so far.

nickmitch · « **Reply #9 on:** January 13, 2020, 09:06:53 AM »

Will the running score total keep going for this game or will it be like a "season 2"?

You know, that's an interesting idea. I never thought of that before. After all, in F-Zero, eventually all the races and points lead to someone winning a cup. Then a new cup is played. The points aren't counted on and on. That said, I'll have to look up and see where things are at. If I recall, Stratos had just taken the overall lead away from ShyGuy. So, to reset now suddenly without warning and not give ShyGuy the opportunity to reclaim the crown sorta feels like conspiracy to keep him down and elevate others. Moreover, I'm not sure, going forward, that I'd want a season to be stretch 15 games. Maybe I'll check out where things where after game 10 and what things would be at this point if that was the end of the season. In any case, if I don't enact a split, this game will definitely be the end of Season 1 and go from there.

If you do seasons, I don't see why they'd have to be 15 games, just because "season 1" was. You can just see this game as a nice way to close out the old, introduce new and refresh old players, and then start fresh next game. Plus, seasons are arbitrary and dancing is fun, that's what I learned from Fornite.

Hooray it's back! Time to do awful yet again!

Where is everyone?!

Khushrenada · « **Reply #14 on:** January 16, 2020, 01:41:38 PM »

Not sure. Messaged Lucario on Discord since his forum use has become so infrequent. Not sure where Stratos is at.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #15 on:** January 19, 2020, 01:30:47 PM »

Looks like today is the last day to sign up for the game.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #16 on:** January 19, 2020, 07:31:45 PM »

Yes but if I'm still feeling this under the weather then the sign-up period may extend another day.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #17 on:** January 20, 2020, 04:29:23 PM »

Why is this cold getting worse? It's been 4 days already!! I'll send out a mass pm when I'm ready to execute this game. Sorry on the delay.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #18 on:** January 20, 2020, 05:29:18 PM »

No worries Khushrenada. We want you fully well. Thanks for hosting the game!
