Topic: Safe Words 10: A Game of Jeopardy! Game Over.

[Khushrenada]

And the $1200 clue is: La Tomatina in Bunol is an annual food fight festival where participants throw large amounts of these objects."

Mop it up is the first to ring in. What is your response to this clue?


Rock
Paper
Scissors

[Khushrenada]

Nice write-ups Khushrenada, always like how you dramatise these things.

Thanks. Some games are easier than others to do that. Since these Safe Words games can take awhile to complete, it's just my way of trying to build up some excitement again near the end with the initial excitement from the start of the game having worn off. I believe if a game can finish strong, it will help leave a positive feeling in a person's memory and hopefully make them willing to try another game again in the future.

[Mop it up]

Me: "So it is down to you, and it is down to me. I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains."
Stratos:  "In that case, I challenge you to a battle of Rock-Paper-Scissors."
Me: "For the prize? To the death?  I accept."
Stratos: "Good. Inhale this, but do not touch."
Me: "I smell nothing."
Stratos: "What you do not smell is called Iocane powder. It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man."
Me: "Hmm."
Stratos: "All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both throw either Rock, Paper, or Scissors, and find out who is right... and who is dead."
Me: "But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would choose Rock, the most popular choice? Now, a clever man would throw Paper, because everyone throws Rock due to being the most popular choice, because he would know that only a great fool would throw Scissors. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose Scissors. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose Paper."
Stratos: "You've made your decision then?"
Me: "Not remotely. Because Iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not trust you will throw Rock."
Stratos: "Truly, you have a dizzying intellect."
Me: "WAIT TILL I GET GOING! Where was I?"
Stratos: "Australia."
Me: "Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose Paper."
Startos: "You're just stalling now."
Me: "YOU'D LIKE TO THINK THAT, WOULDN'T YOU?  You've beaten ShyGuy, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in Rock, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose Paper. But, you've also bested oohhboy, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have chosen Scissors, so I can clearly not choose Paper."
Stratos: "You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work."
Me: "IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!"
Stratos: "Then make your choice."
Me: "I will, and I choose-- What in the world can that be?"
Stratos: "What? Where? I don't see anything."
Me: "Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter."
Stratos: "What's so funny?"
Me: "I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's throw down."
*pretends to throw Paper*
Stratos: "You guessed wrong."
Me: "You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I threw Rock when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is this: never go in against a Scott when death is on the line!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Ha ha ha--"

To be clear, my choice is Rock

[Khushrenada]

Uh, judges......





Ok then.

[Khushrenada]

That's it! Skip it all. Let's just get to Final Jeopardy and end this madness.

[Khushrenada]

So, it's come to this.

Lucario



vs Stratos Connery





Thanks to Mop it up's insane ramblings, Stratos retains control of the bomb word and will be making the final bomb word selection. Will he be able to take down his last opponent with his 5th bomb selection of the game and prevent Lucario from becoming a two-time winner or will he outwit himself and walk away without a Safe Words win once more?

[Stratos]

A-ha! I have fooled you, for I am a Scott as well!

[Khushrenada]

The final bomb word has been chosen. Lucario is only the one to make a selection this round. For final Jeopardy, all you have to do is write a letter. Will it be:

A or B?

That's right. In a most diabolical final round, it comes down to choosing either the letter A or the letter B for the win. Which will you choose, Lucario?

[ShyGuy]

eh, what kind of car do you drive, Trebek?

[oohhboy]

That's it! Skip it all. Let's just get to Final Jeopardy and end this madness.

MRURURhAHaaaaagurh

[Mop it up]

I pretty much knew what it was, that's why I had to use that elaborate setup from The Princess Bride.

[Khushrenada]

I pretty much knew what it was

Huh? Did Stratos tell you? Did you throw the game for Stratos? Is there a quiz show scandal afoot?

[Mop it up]

No, no, no, I just don't admit when I'm wrong.

[Khushrenada]

No, no, no, I just don't admit when I'm wrong.

I'm down with that. High-Five!

[Wah]

hummmmmm
hmmmmm

[Wah]

50/50
A or B.....
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
A for Asshole plz.

[Khushrenada]

Well, let's see how our contestants did. Sean Connery aka Stratos, we'll start with you.



For Final Jeopardy, all you had to do was write the letter A. Let's see how you did.





And you wrote the letter B. That is incorrect. What did you wager?





It appears to be a picture of you defecating on my grave.






Connery: That's right after I had sex with your mother. Ah ha hah ha ha!

[ShyGuy]

Heh, it's funny. Funny joke.

[Phil]

This game is worth it just for Trebek's posts.

[Khushrenada]

Well, "my friend", it appears that despite your bluster and constant barrage of insults, it is actually my day that has come.





Connery: What are ya yammerin' about now?





Aren't we forgetting something, Stratos? You were down $257,900.





Stratos: Now, listen Trebek....


Trebek: I asked you before the game if you knew the rules and you said you did. Judges?





Stratos: I hate you, Trebek!





"Judge": Hmm, he's not getting the home game.

Trebek: Nope. He's getting something far better....




So long, Mr. Connery.

[Khushrenada]

Well, let's check in with our other contestant. Wa-Lucario or Walu-Watson. Whatever you are calling yourself these days.



You've amassed quite a lot of money for yourself this game. Your artificial intelligence certainly seems to be greater than that of other players who are supposedly of "real" intelligence. Let's see how you did.





Well, no surprise there. You've correctly chosen the letter A and written it down. I'm proud of you, Lucario. With this win today, you are definitely a high caliber Safe Words player and it so nice to have someone take this game of Safe Words seriously. Let's see what you wagered.










Et tu, Watson?

[Khushrenada]

Well, Lucario, I'm not going to blow you. I'm just going to leave you in the care of Jeopardy Super Champ, Andy Richter.




Andy, take it away.

I know. The video quality is poor but it is all I can seem to find. The point is, Andy takes out Watson aka Lucario.


And that finally concludes Safe Words 10. I know I've said it before but this time I mean it. We are never playing this game again.



Arrgh! Get that hat off of me. I've had it with all you contestants. I'm tired of this. I'm going home and putting a gun in my mouth.

[Khushrenada]

Going back to the Double Jeopardy Round categories for a moment....



..I just wanted to make sure you got them all.

You Ran All Over Spain = Your anal lovers pain
Movie Titles = Movie Titties (which you got in line with a joke used on SNL before)
Video Game Shooters = Video Games Hooters or Video Game Hooters (which I pointed out before)
The Pen Islands = The Penis Lands (which Zap pointed out right away)
Who Represents For Me? = Whore presents for me?
Famous Mothers = Opportunities for you to take a crack at Trebek's mom.

[Khushrenada]

So, Stratos has overtaken ShyGuy in the number one spot despite being a 10 time loser. Insanolord and Soren also switch due to Insanolord's recent early exits. UncleBob drops to 8 as he continues not to play in recent games allowing nickmitch, Mop it up and Lucario to jump ahead of him. And Silenced cracks the top ten for the first time by taking the number 9 slot.


And with that, Safe Words 10 is officially concluded. Thank goodness. That went on too long for my liking. See you all at the Waluigi Mafia game.

hey Khush could you tell all your previous mafia acquaintances about the game.

There. Done.


Want some more Safe Words? Too bad.

I WON! WHOOPWHOOPWHOOP!
