The R.O.B.ot soldiers reported in to the dread lord Khushrenada.

"We have rounded up 13 unfortunate forum users. We are ready to go and collect more," stated lead soldier 64.

"Don't bother. That's more than enough," replied Khushrenada as he rose from his Princess Daisy themed chaise lounge.

"But, sir, won't the market research data be insufficient with this amount of people? There are more than 13 Wii U games that have been released," protested lead soldier 64.

"Not according to the internet!" Khushrenada bellowed back signaling that he would tolerate no further backtalk. The solders saluted in silence and then went off to their respective posts. Khushrenada walked over to his computing station where he picked up his Wii U controller and booted up his system. He then tried to Wii U chat with Nintendo HQ to let them know the status of the project but it wouldn't work so he just gave up and decided to send them a Miiverse message instead.

Turning to another screen showing the 13 rounded up forum users, Khushrenada then grabbed a microphone to speak to them over the intercom system. However, the voice chat wasn't working so he had to call over a R.O.B.ot soldier to relay his messages to the group and then return with their answers. Good enough, thought Khushrenada, on the communication set-up he had quickly established.

The prisoners were then informed that they would go through a period of 12 rounds in which they would be asked to rank their favorite things about the Wii U. Each round, all the rankings would be tallied and to determine the highest and lowest popular Wii U items. The person who's rankings didn't best match the group and favored the low popularity items would be eliminated to keep from contaminating the rankings further with low popularity items along with the lowest ranking item being removed from the list. Then a new survey would be taken and the process would repeat itself until only the ultimate highest ranking Wii U item in popularity remained. Then, whoever was left, was free to leave and mandatorily purchase a Switch of their own free will.

At this point, the prisoners were given the list of items for the first time and told to rank them.

As he waited for the results, Khushrenada went back to his Daisy lounge and slipped on his Virtual Boy to rest his weary eyes and experience true virtual gaming bliss.

According to lead R.O.B.ot soldier 64, this is the rollcall of prisoners selected for this market research:

1. Soren
2. nickmitch
3. Fatty_The_Hutt
4. NWR_insanolord
5. Mop it up
6. Stratos
7. oohhboy
8. ShyGuy
9. TOPHATANT123
10. Steefosaurus
11. Lucario
12. Evan_B
13. TofuFury

Poor Evan_B! He's raring to go but he has a bit of a wait before he'll be able to select anything. This is the order in which will keep repeating through each round until only one of you remains.

As for the list of items you will be selecting from, this is the Wii U cornucopia of treasures you will be choosing from:


Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
Bayonetta 2
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Pikmin 3
Splatoon
StarFox Zero
Super Mario 3D World
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World


What an interesting mixture. Stuck with Nintendo exclusive and mainly first party developed titles with a couple exceptions in Bayonetta 2 and Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Hardest final cuts were Kirby and the Rainbow Curse along with Super Mario Maker since I know that last one would probably get a few people tempted to choose it during various rounds. I wanted a bit more variety of franchises and gameplay. Of course, if you don't like my list, we can always play this game over again with another list of your suggestions later. Moo who ha ha ha!


Finishing Order:

13. Lucario
12. Evan_B
11. nickmitch
10. oohhboy
09. Mop it up
08. Stratos
07. NWR_insanolord
06. Soren
05. ShyGuy
04. TofuFury
03. TOPHATANT123
02. Fatty The Hutt
01. Steefosaurus

A quick reiteration of the rules and how the game is played.

There is a list of games that will be used throughout the game. One player will select a game from the list. That choice will be kept hidden from the remaining players. This game is considered the bomb word.

After the bomb word is chosen, the remaining players must all choose a game from the list. Every time a game is chosen, it is removed from the list for that round. No two players can select the same game in the same round. 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 bomb word selection and is eliminated. The game is played until there is only one player still left standing and that player is declared the winner.


Order of players chosen.

For this game, I took 13 playing cards from Ace - King and shuffled them. Then going through the shuffled pile, I took the number of the card to the person's position in the sign-up thread order and arranged them in the order of the shuffled cards. Thus, it was just a random draw that was done for this game.

Thus, we begin with TofuFury selecting the first bomb word in a pm to me and Soren will be the first to guess once I receive TofuFury's choice.


Message reminders.

Once I get TofuFury's choice, I will send a pm to all players alerting them to the fact the game has begun. I will most likely send out a pm when it is a players turn to choose for their first choice. After that, it is up to players to remember to check in on their own unless they notify me to send them a reminder when it is their turn to choose.


Waiting for a selection.

A generous time of 2 days is given for a player to select a phrase. After that, a message will be sent to alert them that it is their turn to choose. If a choice has not been made 1 day after the sent message, the player will be automatically given the bomb word choice and removed from the game.


Happy Hunting!

Well, obviously that's the most popular game. There'd be no need for this market research if that game was included. Pokepal148 is immune for the duration of Safe Words 12.

It's the last Mario Kart Nintendo will ever make since the consoles it can be played on is infinite just like the game. If it's going to the Switch, it must be popular which means Stratos is safe!

That brings us to oohhboy who's playing the odds and marks the halfway point of Round 1 if it goes the distance. The remaining choices are:
