Bureau Chief: Khushrenada, this mission to infiltrate the rogue criminal organization of Kleptomaniacs For Crime and steal their secret recipe plans to harm the American people won't be easy. In fact, it may very well be an impossible job that will just get you killed. But we need someone to do it and this agency only consists of you and I and I certainly don't want to do it and die so you're just the man for the job.
Khushrenada: Don't worry, chief. I've already worked out a great plan of how to carry out this mission and not get myself killed. I'm going to gather and form a very special team to work under my command while using their number one skill as I execute an elaborate heist against this Colonel of Crime and nab his plans. I do believe with this idea, we have an actual chance of success.
Bureau Chief: Consider me intrigued, Khushrenada. What is this great skill you plan to harness?
Khushrenada: Their ability to serve as a meat shield to protect me from danger as I carry out the mission. These people are totally expendable and their lives worthless. I'm going to take what most people consider their biggest drawback and turn it into their greatest strength for me.
Bureau Chief: Bravo, Khushrenada. You're cruel and callous disregard for human life is continually an inspiration to me.
Khushrenada: It's because of my life-long and strenuous training to learn to not care about anyone other than myself. I mean, just look at me and you. I still haven't bothered to learn your name despite the fact you've got a name placard on your desk, are wearing a name badge as we speak and you even entered your contact information into my phone for that very reason.
Bureau Chief: So, very true. Well, should I meet this team of yours that you are planning to put together?
Khushrenada: Eh, what's the point? If the mission goes south then I'm going to give them all the blame and we won't want to be associated with them and if the mission is a success then I'll get all the praise for being the person in charge. So, let's just keep the focus on me where it belongs.
Bureau Chief: I feel like a bald eagle flying majestically in the sky about to shed a single tear from all the freedom and guns he can see from his vantage point high over this great land. Just promise me that this mission will have a lot of explosions and mayhem as your missions always do.
Khushrenada: Chief, there were multiple explosions with 4 dead and 18 wounded just when I went to grab lunch at Taco Bell today. You can count on me.
Bureau Chief: Godspeed, Khushrenada. Godspeed.

Welcome all of you. As you know from the briefing I gave you while recruiting you to this team, our mission is a dangerous one but by working together, I expect to get out of it unscathed whether we are successful or not. Since this is your first time all gathered together in one room, allow me to introduce you all to each other. For this mission game, we shall use the following code numbers rotation:
1. Insanolord 2. ShyGuy 3. Lucario 4. Steefosaurus 5. Stratos 6. BeautifulShy 7. Nickmitch 8. Mop it up
Now, for your first test. Can you figure out what criteria was used to get this order selection? While you ponder that, let me give you a list of nifty catchphrases that you'll be selecting from during the mission rounds:
1. Hold my beer and watch this! 2. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 3. I'm just two days away from retirement! 4. My doctor says my heart can't take any sudden surprises. 5. Time to do the "I'm gonna win" dance and mock my opponents. 6. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 7. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together. 8. I understand that the security door is new and strange and it challenges our outdated notions of who we are and where we belong. But I'm sure that if you'll just give me your attention, I can show you that it can be... a DOOR, if you will, to a better office.
Since Mop it up is the last player in the selection order she will be the one to select the first bomb word. I am now awaiting her choice via PM.
Gear up, people, and let's get ready to take the fight to our enemies! One, two, three, GO!
Finishing Order:
8. Lucario 7. nickmitch 6. BeautifulShy 5. Steefosaurus 4. Mop it up 3. ShyGuy 2. Insanolord 1. Stratos

A quick reiteration of the rules and how the game is played
There is a list of phrases that will be used throughout the game. One player will select a phrase from the list. That choice will be kept hidden from the remaining players. This phrase is considered the bomb word.
After the bomb word is chosen, the remaining players must all choose a phrase from the list. Every time a phrase is chosen, it is removed from the list for that round. No two players can select the same phrase 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 thought I'd go by the user's Karma score from worst to best and finally find a use of that pointless feature after all this time. Of course, then I realized that either way, high or low) I went would put Insanolord in a pretty good starting position because of his deservedly low score. But if anyone can find a way to turn an advantage into a disadvantage it's Insanolord so then I didn't worry about it after that.
Message reminders
Once I get Mop it up'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.
And that's how Khushrenada, yet again, drunkenly put together a game of Safe Words much to the disappointment of internet users everywhere.

Mission Round 1.
In order to locate the Colonel, we need to track down an associate of his, Deity, whose called that because people only know the initials of his name which are D.T. Now, the CIA has had some run-ins with this person and have a file created on him so we are going to break into CIA HQ and get that file. You all know the plan and your roles in it so let's get to it.
Insanolord, you're up first.
Insanolord walks up to the entrance of the building where he is stopped by security. He is asked for his ID and he hands over the fake ID created for this mission and says:
1. Hold my beer and watch this! 2. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 3. I'm just two days away from retirement! 4. My doctor says my heart can't take any sudden surprises. 5. Time to do the "I'm gonna win" dance and mock my opponents. 6. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 7. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together. 8. I understand that the security door is new and strange and it challenges our outdated notions of who we are and where we belong. But I'm sure that if you'll just give me your attention, I can show you that it can be... a DOOR, if you will, to a better office.

Fair enough.

The security guard looks at Insanolord with an annoyed expression and says you don't have to tell him about the merits of security.
ShyGuy is next up.
He also is with Insanolord trying to enter the building and now hands security his fake ID saying:
1. Hold my beer and watch this! 2. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 3. I'm just two days away from retirement! 4. My doctor says my heart can't take any sudden surprises. 5.

The security guard agrees with ShyGuy that his suggestion is the best way to start the day at the CIA. Him and Insanolord have gain access into the building.
We now check in with Lucario.
He's posing outside as a groundskeeper to get close to an electrical box in order to hack into the system. However, another groundskeeper has noticed him and come over to ask him what he's doing. Lucario replies with:
1. Hold my beer and watch this! 2. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 3. I'm just two days away from retirement! 4. My doctor says my heart can't take any sudden surprises. 5. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 6. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together.

I did send Lucario a message through Discord last night which seems to be the better way to contact him but with his Australia Time Zone we'll see if he gets the message.

Unfortunately, that response doesn't seem to set the other groundskeeper mind at ease. He then starts to question if Lucario is drunk and demands to see his ID while alerting security to come over. Realizing that his cover is blown and the mission is in peril, Khushrenada alerts the team to abort the mission and get back to base.
In his haste to escape the situation, Lucario forgot that there were mines planted along the outside grounds for added security and blew himself sky high.
The other groundskeeper was gobsmacked at what he had just witnessed. When security arrived to ask what happened, the groundskeeper told them what Lucario had said and then that he proceeded to run across the grass and blow up by the mine. At this, the security guard rolled his eyes and radioed for everyone to stand down. It was just a code red...neck. This allowed the rest of the team to escape with detection.
"What are we going to do now?" they all wondered. "Don't worry. I've got another idea," said Khushrenada standing with his back to them and a gleam in his eye for the camera to capture and wow the audience with while his compatriots wondered why he wasn't facing them while talking.

Well, hopefully the wait was worth it as Lucario is sadly the first to fall in this game. With his demise, the bomb word selection for the next round falls to ShyGuy. I know await his choice via PM.

Mission Round 2 is on!
"I know of a hacker who could get us that CIA file," Khushrenada explained, "He goes by the username DJSexMaster69 but he's going to be hard to track down. He's a leader of the hacker terrorist group called The Dogehouse. Their motto is Much fun - So wow - Old memes. We also know that they often meet up and use the computers at the library in the Universidad de Morón in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'll explain your roles and how we'll infiltrate the facilities once we are in the air but, for now, we've got a plane to catch. Let's move, people!"
12 hours later
Steefousaurus, you're the first one up.
We've food poisoned the normal secretary for the principal. They've requested a temp to take her place as expected and you are the person we're going to have fill that role to give us access to the main office and records. Here's your credentials and ID. Let's do this.
Steefosaurus enters the Universidad and enters the main office. "Can I help you?" asks one of the ladies in the office. Steefosaurus answers with:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. I'm just two days away from retirement! 3. My doctor says my heart can't take any sudden surprises. 4. Time to do the "I'm gonna win" dance and mock my opponents. 5. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 6. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together. 7. I understand that the security door is new and strange and it challenges our outdated notions of who we are and where we belong. But I'm sure that if you'll just give me your attention, I can show you that it can be... a DOOR, if you will, to a better office.

The two other staff members look at each other confused. "What?" they asked, "Are you saying you're happy to be here? Did you not hear the question?" There was a pause.
"Do you know what he's talking about?" they asked, turning to BeautifulShy and having given up waiting for Stratos to answer. Yes, BeautifulShy was sent in along with Stratos to steal a uniform and pose as maintenance staff.
It's up to BeautifulShy now. How will she answer?

The two staff members mutter their apologies and turn away with their heads to hide their embarrassment at getting chewed out. They then make some excuses and leave. With Stratos and BeautifulShy, in place, it is on to the next part of the plan.
Nickmitch is up.
Nickmich is posing as a student. He's sent to go enter the library and get close to the computer lab to keep his eyes on whose there. However, as mills around close to the lab, a librarian approaches him to see if he needs some help. Nickmitch responds with:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. I'm just two days away from retirement! 3. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 4. I understand that the security door is new and strange and it challenges our outdated notions of who we are and where we belong.

"What? Are you ok? You seem to be babbling. Let me get you some help," said the librarian in response to nickmtich and started radioing for medical assistance.
"No, no, no, I'm ok, really!" nickmitch replied trying to get the librarian from calling in help and get his cover blown. He awkwardly tried to back away and leave without drawing suspicion but kept bumping int a shelf of books next to him. He eventually bumped into them hard enough in his haste that the shelf tipped over. It then knocked another shelf over resulting a domino like fall of shelves culminating with the last one falling through the glass into the computer lab. The heavy weight of the books smashed the computers causing them to burst bright sparks. And as everyone knows, computers are highly combustible. It's like they're made of gasoline. So, this was the result:
Nickmitch was lost in the library explosion. "When are people going to learn to stop putting libraries in schools?" Khushrenada asked in frustration at yet another senseless library and book explosion. "Those things are deathtraps taking millions of people with them each year!" Sitting in front of the surveillance van, he took the coffee cup he was drinking from and what was left of the beverage inside and threw it out the window in frustration.
"Ow, it burns!" a voice cried out. Khushrenada looked over to see who'd gotten into the path of his thrown coffee only to discover it was the hacker they were looking for, DJSexMaster69! Quickly, Khushrenada and his team hopped out of the van, bagged and tagged the man and jumped back in racing off to their safe house in order to get the hacker working on their problem. So end this mission round of Safe Words.
I know who is up next to choose the bomb word for Round 3 but I'm actually going to pause and lock this game for now and we'll get back to it near the end of Khushrenada Week. But with the disruption happening and myself now focused on other things during the event, I think it would be best to wait for things to calm down a bit in the Funhouse.

Mission Round 3!
When we last left Safe Words, nickmitch had blown himself up in a terrible library explosion, still the leading cause of library fatalities.
With a new Bomb Word selected we are ready to resume this game from where we left of. Having acquired the necessary hacker, the team has gone to a Safe House as the hacker begins his infiltration of the CIA to acquire the needed file. As Khushrenada keeps an eye on the hacker, the team patrols the perimeter for any signs of the CIA sending out a team to stop them and whoever else is responsible for infiltrating their system. As Khushrenada watches the hacker get closer to the prize, he does another security check.
First up is Mop it up!
Radioing her, Khushrenada asks, "Mop it up! Report! What's you status?"
She replies with:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. I'm just two days away from retirement! 3. My doctor says my heart can't take any sudden surprises. 4. Time to do the "I'm gonna win" dance and mock my opponents. 5. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 6.

(Yes. ShyGuy is past the 3 day/72 hour waiting period. But I never sent him a 24 hour deadline pm and truthfully, I sort of forgot about this game until around 5 PM today myself so I sent him a pm then and told him he'd have some extra time to select. If he wins the game now, players can claim he should have been eliminated earlier and it will be a hollow victory. Huzzah!)

"Stratos, report!"
"What is your situation, Stratos?"
1. I'm just two days away from retirement! 2. My doctor says my heart can't take any sudden surprises.
It comes down to this. With a correct selection, BeautifulShy will then be eliminated this round. Otherwise, Stratos is the one who will be exiting at this stage.

"BeautifulShy, report! BeautifulShy, come in!"
"I'm not getting any answer from BeautifulShy, people. Move in on her location!"
The gang all hurried cautiously to BeautifulShy's zone of coverage keeping their eyes watchful for any sign of intruders. They found BeautifulShy laying on the ground motionless. Checking for a pulse, they found none. Searching through her pockets, Khushrenada discovered a note saying: My doctor says my heart can't take any sudden surprises.
"Hmmm. I think when I checked in on her through the walkie-talkies, it may have surprised her and basically scared her to death," Khushrenada mused.
Suddenly, there was an explosion from the compound!
A couple black Humvees raced away from the building and explosion.
"Dang it!" Khushrenada yelled, "The CIA infiltrated us while we had our guard down checking on BeautifulShy! Everyone, get to your vehicles and chase after them!"
So ends Round 3 at long last. With BeautifulShy forced to choose her own bomb word, that means Stratos will be selecting the bomb word for round 4.

Mission Round 4
Jumping into a couple of vehicles, Khushrenada and his team raced off after the CIA. The vehicles raced over bumpy streets causing the vehicles to leap in the air at times. They slammed into other vehicles on the road knocking them out of their path. And a few stunt people got a chance to pretend to be shocked at the sudden onrushing vehicles and leap out of their path in time. After a bit of this chase action, the CIA agents started opening fire on their pursuers.
"We need to fight them back," Khushrenada ordered, "Mop it up, you've got the bazooka launcher in your 2003 Chevy SSR. The Chevy SSR: It's the pickup truck that looks like a 1950s car. Yes, if you're looking for a 2-seat pickup that's also a convertible with a locking cover over the bed combined with retro styling and a V8, well, the Chevy SSR is really your only option. And yes, it does come in yellow."
(Cut to a split-screen with all of Khushrenada and his crew turning to the camera with a thumbs up saying "Chevy's the best!")
"What I want you to do, Mop it up, is to fold that convertible top so that you can then stand and get a clear shot at the humvees with the bazooka. You got that?"
Mop it up radios back with:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. I'm just two days away from retirement! 3. Time to do the "I'm gonna win" dance and mock my opponents. 4. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 5. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together.

It's Stratos, so un-excitedly he didn't even know the outcome (or think much about it) until he got the PM from Khush to pick a new bomb word.
Though I will confess feeling may more excited than was probably warranted about knowing I'd passed to the next round. I'm too damn competitive for my own good.

"That's the spirit!" replied Khushrenada.
After retracting the roof, Mop it up then stood and took aim with the bazooka. Meanwhile, one of the CIA agents in the rear humvee looked back and saw her taking aim. "Holy crap!," he yelled out to warn the fellow agents in the vehicle with him, "They've got a Chevy SSR. There's no way we can stop that!" All the agents turned in panic to confirm that this was the case. The humvee swerved back and forth as the agents became uncertain of what to do from fear eventually crashing into some parked vehicles. The agents then got out and began to scurry down a back alley path.
"Change of plans. Stay on those guys Mop it up while the rest of us continue after the pack," Khushrenada radioed.
"Roger!" Mop it up answered and she stopped her Chevy SSR and pursued after the agents.
"Alright. Who else we got? Insanolord, you still with us on that motorcycle?" asked Khushrenada.
"Affirmative," Insanolord replied.
"Then lets get you to race up to that humvee in front of us and plant one of the magnet bombs you've got on it. Can you do that?"
Insanolord radioed back with:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. I'm just two days away from retirement! 3. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 4. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together.

"That's the can-do spirit we expect from you," Khushrenada cynically replied.
Insanolord then revved up his motorcycle and started to catch up to the rear humvee. The CIA agents in it began firing their guns at Insanolord. He weaved and dodged to avoid the bullets but just couldn't get any closer to the vehicle. Finally, he decided just to throw the bomb. He reached back with all his might and tossed it but, at the high rate of speed and wind resistance and heavy weight of the bomb added with Insanolord's incredibly weak throwing strength, the bomb only forward a couple inches and then fell to the ground and rolled down a sewer drain. 15 people died from the resulting sewage back-up in what many scientists are describing as the worst way to go.
"Unbelievable. What is it with this guy and his constant sewer bombings," muttered Khushrenada. Forcing a cheerful voice, Khushrenada radioed back to Insanolord, "Great try there, buddy. Almost got him but I think we're going to try a different option. Why don't you head back to base, grab a juice box and wait for us there?"
"Woo-hoo! I call grape!" exclaimed Insanolord as he turned and raced back to base.
"Let's go with ShyGuy," Khushrenada decided, "ShyGuy, can you hear me? Have you still got your sights on the targets?"
ShyGuy was flying a Tiger Attack Helicopter above the action with his weapons fixed on the humvee units. "I do indeed. Do you want me to open fire?" ShyGuy asked.
"No. I want you to get a knife and parachute out of there and on down to the rear humvee unit landing on top of it and then get inside and take out all the agents with the knife," explained Khushrenada.
"......." ShyGuy answered in disbelief.
"Did you get all that? Can you handle that?" Khushrenada asked.
ShyGuy responded back with:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. I'm just two days away from retirement! 3. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together.

Post by: Khushrenada on September 07, 2018, 02:19:22 AM
With the technical precision worthy of a Safe Words Expert, ShyGuy did a bellyflop out of the helicopter. At the last moment, he opened an umbrella from the Swiss Army knife he took with him as instructed which stopped his momentum and allowed him to safely crash through the sunroof of the humvee. Startled and amazed at the sudden intrusion, the CIA agents all quickly picked up their guns to shoot at ShyGuy who was now in the center of them all. Flipping out the knife part of the Swiss Army Knife quickly used it to deflect the bullets being shot at him and caused them to ricochet back into the hands of the CIA agents thus knocking the guns out of their hands and disarming them. Unfortunately, the last bullet ended up breaking the knife in half.
The CIA agents laughed at ShyGuy. "What are you going to do with a broken knife?" they taunted. Well, it turns out a broken knife is still a sharp object and thus some stabbing was still initiated by ShyGuy. At one point, the remains of the knife broke off in one of the agent's bodies. So, ShyGuy then went to corkscrew mode. Eventually, that also broke off so then he went to bottle opener mode. That, too, eventually broke from the unorthodox uses he put it through. Finally, he turned to the magnifying glass and broke it in half so that he could use the jagged glass to continue the carnage. At long last and after 30 bloody minutes, ShyGuy radioed in to Khushrenada that his mission was complete and all the agents were subdued. Everyone involved agreed to never speak of the incident again.
There was now just one humvee left which was good since Khushrenada's limousine was getting very low on fuel. With the humvee getting very close to an airport with a plane waiting for the agents to arrive and take-off, Khushrenada radioed ahead to the agent he had sent ahead for this situation.
"Steefosaurus, it is now up to you," Khushrenada said, "The humvee is turning on to the airport road. Are you and your tank ready?"
Steefosaurus took a moment to exhale and steady his nerves. He then started operating the tank, pulling it out from behind some bushes he was using to camouflage, and began it driving it down the road towards the oncoming humvee which started to open fire on him in a game of extreme chicken. With a yell, Steefosaurus answered back:
1. I'm just two days away from retirement! 2. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together.

Is my tank ready? Am I camouflaged in the bushes? As a life-long pacifist I will surely not become part of violent operations this late in the game - after all, I didn't sign up for this, I'm just two days away from retirement!

Post by: Khushrenada on September 09, 2018, 09:50:05 PM
"In fact, screw it all! I'm retiring now!" Steefosaurus added. Then he took out a grenade, pulled the pin and dropped it onto the floor of the tank while hurrying to exit the hatch. However, as he went out through the manhole, a belt loop from his jeans got stuck in a lever. The unexpected resistance halted his forward momentum and he fell back down into the tank knocking his head on the metal hatch rendering himself unconscious. The grenade then exploded taking out Steefosaurus and the tank.
(https://i.imgur.com/7JUbgkx.jpg)
"Ugh. What a shame," Khushrenada lamented, "You know, he was actually 4 days past retirement. He had calculated it wrong and no one wanted to tell him in order to get a few more days work from him. Still, how are we going to stop that last humvee now?"
"Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together!" a voice suddenly shouted through the radio system.
"Who said that?" asked Khushrenada.
It was Stratos! From behind the flaming wreckage of the tank, another Chevy SSR burst forward (This one in purple!) heading straight on the path of the oncoming humvee.
"They've got two Chevy SSRs?!?" the CIA agents yelled in dismay, "We're boned!"
Indeed they were. Stratos just drove the Chevy SSR head on into the CIA humvee. At the point of impact, he shattered his windshield by shooting it out with a machine gun he had armed himself with just before the collision. Not wearing a seatbelt caused him to be launched forward through the space the windshield had just occupied. As he flew through the air towards the humvee, he then used the machine gun to shatter its windshield. As he then soared through the interior of the humvee, he shot all the agents in it as he flew by them towards the rear window which he then also shot and destroyed allowing him to pass through that barrier unharmed. As he soared away from the humvee, he looked ahead and saw a lot of oncoming traffic from vehicles which had now slowed down or parked because of the collision he had with the humvee. He then shot through and shattered many windshields and rear windows on his journey through this traffic. After getting past the wave of vehicles, there was now a building in his path. Fortunately and as he planned it, the building was a mattress store and he was headed straight for the store front window. Of course, he shot that glass to pieces as well and then came down for a landing bouncing across nine different mattress before coming to a complete stop. Getting up from the last display mattress, he dusted himself off and headed for the exit but also turned to the nearby salesgirl, who had watched his entire entrance in shock and dismay, and said, "Well, you've definitely got some comfortable mattress here but I think I'm going to have to sleep on it first before choosing one."
However, the salesgirl didn't like that response and told security to stop him. Just as Stratos got to the entrance, two large men grabbed his arms and then began to beat him to a pulp. You just don't mess with mattress stores.
Meanwhile, Khushrenada pulled up to the wreckage of the last humvee and grabbed the flash drive the CIA had stolen from them with the information on the Deity source that him and the team had been trying to get for half this movieadventure game(?).
TL;DR - Steef beefed it thereby launching Stratos into the Final Four. This means ShyGuy will be selecting the next bomb word.

Normally, I'll do a big write-up about the Final Four (and this is quite the battle hardened list of players to make it to a Final Four) but I've been doing something different by writing more of a story / epic yawn this game (which I've immediately come to regret [If it drags me down in Mafia hosting, why did I think it would be a good idea in Safe Words hosting?]) so I'm just going to list some various stats and points of interest about the Final Four in this game.
Title: Re: Safe Words 14: Famous Last Words 2. Round 5.
Post by: Khushrenada on September 09, 2018, 10:26:44 PM
Stratos
- Has the number 2 ranking on the all-time Safe Words Points Leaderboard. Win or lose, he can not move from this spot. He can not overtake ShyGuy at Number 1 nor can anybody below him surpass his point total.
- Was the first one eliminated last game (Safe Words 13) so this is a bit of a comeback for him.
- This makes his 6th appearance in a Safe Words Final Four. He also made it to this level in Games 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10.
- Despite making it to the Final Four in five of the past thirteen games and being number two on the all-time points leaderboard, he has never won a game of Safe Words. He has twice made it to the final round and lost making the #2 position the highest he has ever place in a Safe Words game.
- Although he had made it to three consecutive Final Four finishes in games 8-10 in which he made it to the final round in both games 8 and 10, this is his first return to the Final Four since that high finishing period.
- He has been in a Final Four with Mop it up twice before. The first time was Game 8. Mop it up placed first and he placed second. The second time was Game 10. In that game, Mop it up placed third but he again finished second.
- He has been in a Final Four with Insanolord once before in Game 5. In that game, he placed third while Insanolord placed fourth.
- He has been in a Final Four with ShyGuy twice before. The first time was Game 5. ShyGuy placed first and he placed third. The second time was Game 8. In that game, ShyGuy placed third but he finished in second.
- He has controlled the bomb word selection once this game which was round 4 resulting in the elimination of Steefosaurus.
- He has been involved in two 50/50 selections in this game already. The first was in Round 3 in which he had to select the Safe Word which he successfully accomplished resulting in BeautifulShy's self-elimination and the other occurrence was in the round we just completed (Round 4) but this time he was the one hoping to not be self-eliminated and was saved when Steefosaurus made the wrong 50/50 choice.
- With Stratos history of twice losing in the Final Round, (matching the record of Unclebob for most Final Round losses) will the recent success he's had in back-to-back 50/50 situations finally pay off if he makes it to the Final Round or will it just be more set-up for another tragi-comic punchline?
Title: Re: Safe Words 14: Famous Last Words 2. Round 5.
Post by: Khushrenada on September 09, 2018, 11:28:42 PM
Mop it up
- Has the number 5 ranking on the all-time Safe Words Points Leaderboard. Win or lose, she can not move from this spot. He can not overtake nickmitch at Number 4 nor can anybody below her surpass her point total.
- However, that point total is slightly misleading because Mop it up has twice hosted a Safe Words game. Had she been a player for those two games she hosted then most likely she would already be in one of the top four spots on the all-time point leaderboard.*
- She was the second player eliminated last game (Safe Words 13) so I guess you could say this is a bit of a bounce back for her was well.
- This makes her 5th appearance in a Safe Words Final Four. She also made it to this level in Games 6, 8, 10, and 11. Even numbered games do seem to be a better opportunity for her.
- In addition to being the only player to host two Safe Word games (besides yours truly who's hosting their 9th [and 1/2 {see Safe Words 6}] game), Mop it up has also won a game of Safe Words before. It was Game 8. She is currently seeking her second win at this game.
- She has made it to the Final Round twice before. She lost in Safe Words 6 but won it in Safe Words 8.
- After she won in Safe Words 8, she hosted Safe Words 9 and then played again in Safe Words 10 where she made it to third place. By removing Safe Words 9, she technically went played and lasted through 18 consecutive rounds of Safe Words before being eliminated in her 19th round. That consecutive streak ties her for second with Lucario and TOPHATANT123 who also have had an 18 round success streak. (The player with the longest streak is Triforce Hermit who went 19 rounds before being eliminated in his 20th round of consecutive play.)
- She has been in a Final Four with Insanolord once before in Game 6. In that game, she placed second while Insanolord placed fourth.
- She has been in a Final Four with ShyGuy twice before. The first time was Game 8. ShyGuy placed third and she placed first winning the game. The second time was Game 11. In that game, ShyGuy placed third again but she finished in fourth.
- She has been in a Final Four with Stratos twice before. The first time was Game 8. Stratos placed second but she placed first and won. The second time was Game 10. In that game, Stratos placed second but she finished in third.
- She has controlled the bomb word once this game. It was in Round 1 and led to the elimination of Lucario who selected her choice.
- I haven't really got much of an intriguing story line to play out with Mop it up this game aside from the fact that she's the lone female standing in this Final Four or that she's tied 1-1 against ShyGuy and Stratos in placing above them in Final Four situations and is 1-0 against Insanolord so this might be a bit of a tiebreaker in the match-ups against the first two at this level.
*(Of course, as the creator of Safe Words, I've always said that the host shouldn't really get punished for not being able to play in order to provide everyone a chance to even participate and earn points in the first place and so therefore should automatically get 100 points for doing so. Going by this rule, then I would be the number 1 leader on the All-Time Points board but that would make Mop it up number 2 and that sounds about right to me. I've never enacted this position officially though because then the distance between me and the rest of the field of players would be too great so it creates better artificial drama by not showing the true rankings.)
So much for keeping these final four write-ups short. Curse my online verbosity!!!

Post by: Khushrenada on September 09, 2018, 11:37:36 PM
Insanolord
- Has never won this game. LOL!
- Has been eliminated in the first round of three Safe Words games (Game 4, 8 and 9) which is the most by any player (although Lucario has now tied this record by being eliminated in the first round this game but Lucario's also won two game so....). He's the only player to be eliminated in the first round in two consecutive Safe Words games.
- He was also the second player eliminated in Game 10 and the third player eliminated in Game 3 and Game 13.
- Sucks.

Post by: Khushrenada on September 10, 2018, 12:24:50 AM
As funny as it might be to leave Insanolord's write-up as is, there are some other points to make about him that aren't completely negative so here's the rest.
- As mentioned, like Stratos, Insanolord has yet to win a Safe Words game. However, at this point, no matter how he may end up finishing in this game, Insanolord will end up taking the number 3 spot on the all-time Safe Words Points Leaderboard passing over nickmitch who was holding on to it entering this game.
- This makes his 5th appearance in a Safe Words Final Four. He also made it to this level in Games 2, 5, 6 and 7. Yes, like Stratos, he also had a three game consecutive Final Four appearance streak. Like Stratos, this is his first time back in the Final Four since that streak ended (although his time to return to this level has taken a bit longer than Stratos return journey so way to persevere).
- He has only made it to the Final Round once before thereby coming dangerously close to winning this whole thing in Safe Words 7. He lost in that round to Nuclearspeed. That ended up being Nuclearspeed's second time winning a Safe Words game and he became the first player to do so. Since then, Lucario and ShyGuy have also tied Nuclearspeed for most Safe Words wins at two each. Nuclearspeed would promptly vanish from these forums after the win after making only one other post in Talkback for Miitomo a couple months later. Did Insanolord track him down and kill him for preventing his best chance at a victory so far? There's no evidence I can find to say he didn't.....
- He has been in a Final Four with ShyGuy twice before. The first time was Game 5. ShyGuy placed first and he placed fourth. The second time was Game 7. In that game, ShyGuy placed fourth but he finished in second.
- He has been in a Final Four with Stratos once before in Game 5. In that game, Stratos placed third while Insanolord placed fourth.
- He has been in a Final Four with Mop it up once before in Game 6. In that game, Mop it up placed second while Insanolord placed fourth.
- He is the only player in the Final Four to have not had control of the Bomb Word selection yet in this game.
- If he wins, I'm deleting this whole game off these forums and it never happened. Safe Words ended at Game 13 and anyone who says otherwise is getting banned. Plus, it means that Lucario can't have been eliminated in the first round for the third time so Insanolord gets to keep that record for himself alone still. Don't make me regret doing another Safe Words game you remaining players!
- Last week, I was elected King of the Winos and it's just burning him up inside. The only thing that's kept me going is the knowledge I'd come back to this Safe Words game after putting it on pause to play it out and see another Insanolord defeat. Don't let him crush me more than I've already been.

I'm just saying I consider you scum compared to Krusty. Sorry you can't be the most exciting player in the Final Four each time you make it but there have been occasions where you have been. It's just that in this particular Final Four, you've got longtime bridesmaid Stratos in position to try and get his first win, longtime punching bag Insanolord with an actual chance to win which has taken him another seven games to get to this point and they're both 2 and 3 respectively on the all-time list without a win which is impressive and crazy. ShyGuy is going for his 3rd win which would put him alone at the top of most Safe Words wins. If you win, it will be your second win which is impressive considering you've played less because you've hosted twice but it also means a 4-way tie at the top of most Safe Words wins as you join Nuclearspeed, Lucario and ShyGuy. You'll still add to the ongoing lore and history of Safe Words with a win and if we continue playing this game but, at this moment, your narrative journey doesn't quite have the stakes as the other three players. Which is probably why you'll win.

Eight is what we had last game. Seems to be the current average. What can I do? Forum participation continues to trend down a bit. Maybe if some people (Stratos, Steefosaurus) choose their selections faster without needing constant reminders then maybe the game wouldn't feel so long which may turn some people off after awhile but at the the same time it was always designed to be a more casual game. So, you tell me how to increase players without always resorting to pm begging.

Post by: Khushrenada on September 10, 2018, 06:56:18 PM
ShyGuy
- As mentioned before, he currently sits at the number one spot on the all-time Safe Words Points Leaderboard. Win or lose, he can not move from this spot thanks to making it to another Safe Words Final Four.
- This marks ShyGuy's 7th appearance in a Safe Words Final Four situation. That means that in all the Safe Words games played so far, ShyGuy has been able to make it this point in 50% of them. No one else has made as many Final Four appearances as ShyGuy to date. Stratos is the second closest now at 6 with this game.
- ShyGuy has won this game twice. He did it the first time in Safe Words 5 and finally got a second win just last game in Safe Words 13 when he defeated the Kong Collective after refusing to join in that forum fad. It tied ShyGuy with Nuclearspeed and Lucario for most Safe Words wins by a player at 2 each.
- This means that not only does ShyGuy have the possibility of winning his third game and thus have the number one rank of most Safe Words wins to himself, it also means that he has the opportunity to be the first player to ever win back-to-back Safe Words games.
- If you read Mop it up's write-up, you may have seen my mention of her record of lasting consecutive rounds in Safe Words and a couple others who matched or surpassed that. In all of those cases, those records came about because the player had won a game of Safe Words and then went deep to the end of their next Safe Words game after that win. However, all fell short of winning a second game in a row. ShyGuy, however, has an advantage that those players did not which is the fact that he's facing a smaller number of players. There were only 8 players in Safe Words 13 and there are only 8 in this game. Thus, he only needs to survive through 14 consecutive rounds of Safe Words to get the back-to-back win which is less than those other players survived and set records with and yet still fell short in winning two games in a row.
- He has made it to the Final Round twice and won both times making him undefeated in the Final Round. In Game 5, he defeated pokepal148 (to date, the only game pokepal148 has ever played) and in Game 13, he defeated Lucario who was undefeated in Final Rounds at that point and looking to become the first player to win three games. If ShyGuy makes it to the end, will he avoid the same fate he gave Lucario?
- He has been in a Final Four with Stratos twice before. In Game 5, Stratos placed third while ShyGuy won the game. In Game 8, Stratos placed second while ShyGuy placed third.
- He has been in a Final Four with Mop it up twice before. In Game 8, Mop it up placed first while ShyGuy ended up in third. In Game 11, Mop it up placed fourth while ShyGuy again placed third.
- He has been in a Final Four with Insanolord twice before. In Game 5, Insanolord placed fourth while ShyGuy won the game. In Game 7, Insanolord placed second while ShyGuy placed fourth.
- He controls the Bomb Word for this first time this game and has selected it for the upcoming Round 5 about to begin which might put him in a good spot to get through these next couple rounds and to the end.
- Can he pull off the win and set a couple new Safe Words records to further add to his Safe Words crown?

Last Couple Thoughts About This Game's Final Four
- Again, if it hasn't been clear, we are just about seeing the top four players on the all-time point leaderboard facing each other here. ShyGuy, Stratos and Insanolord are 1, 2 and 3 respectively while Mop it up is 5th but she's very close to the number 4 total in nickmitch and if she has played one more game like him (nickmitch has played 13, Mop it up has played 12) then there's a very good possibility Mop it up would already be in the number 4 spot.
- This is only the third time that all players in the Final Four have played or been involved in every Safe Words game so far. ShyGuy, Stratos and Insanolord have now played all 14 games and Mop it up has played in 12 and hosted the other two which prevented her from playing in them. The only other times such a Final Four has occurred is Game 1 (which is more a technicality since everyone involved had played 100% of all the Safe Games by default) and Safe Words 8 which had a Final Four of Mop it up, Stratos, ShyGuy and Soren (who had still been a regular player at that point). In that game, Mop it up was the winner. Is that precursor for how things will shake out in this game?
- Finally, in another odd twist, you may not have caught this but in the last game, Safe Words 13, ShyGuy won that game while Stratos, Mop it up and Insanolord were the 1st, 2nd and 3rd players eliminated respectively in that game. While ShyGuy has now made back-to-back Final Four appearances and currently remains undefeated, the road to back-to-back wins has him facing off against the bottom three from last game. Does this mean that ShyGuy's competition is going to be weaker this game? Or will he playing the role of the heavy favorite that these Cinderella/rebound type runs that the other players are having must overcome to get their victory?
We're about to find out.

Mission Round 5
"Alright crew. We've got a picture of Diety and, thanks to our hacker friend aka captive, we've got a location to meet him. We've set it up at the Mall of America at the entrance to the Lego Imagination Center. We're flying out there and then getting you set-up to watch my back during the meet and make sure tries to grab him away from us either. Let's roll!
5 Hours Later
Khushrenada is sitting at the food court, eating some slices of pizza for Sbarro's. He checks his watch and radios in with Stratos. "Do you have eyes on the target yet?", he asks.
"Negative," replies Stratos, "I just did another casual walk by and no sign yet of our man."
"Roger. Stay in position," said Khushrenada.
Stratos continued walking back to the bench he had been sitting and positioned at before only to have a security guard approach him.
"Excuse me, sir, but may I ask what you are doing here?" the guard asked.
"I'm just waiting for a friend," Stratos answered tensely.
"Well, we've had some reports by staff that you keep pacing and hanging around the Lego Imagination Center and they're getting concerned for the safety of the children," the guard explained, "I want to give me some contact information on who you are and who you're waiting for so I can verify your story."
"Aw geez, Lose this guy, will you?" Khushrenada radioed in to Stratos earpeice.
"Now will you come with me for a moment?" asked the guard.
Stratos sighed and said:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. Time to do the "I'm gonna win" dance and mock my opponents. 3. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 4. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together.

Then Stratos took out a needle from his pocket and swiftly injected its knockout formula contents into the neck of the security guard. As the guard fell unconscious, Stratos moved the body to the nearby bench.
"What should I do?" he asked.
"Actually. This could be a good thing. Take the guard away to a secluded spot and put on his uniform. Then you can use that to patrol the area a bit more without attracting more suspicion," Khushrenada instructed.
"Roger," answered Stratos who then began implementing that plan.
"In the meantime, let's get Mop it up to the area," Khushrenada ordered.
Mop it up was posing as a janitor. She took a cleaning cart with her close to the entrance. When no one was looking, she tossed a cup of soda on the floor and then she began to... that's right!... mop it up.
"No sign of the target yet," she radioed in while working.
"Roger. Hold position," Khushrenada replied.
Suddenly, a young sales lady came up to Mop it up. "Oh, good! I'm at the Hollister Co. and we've been trying to get someone from the cleaning staff over to our store for the past 20 minutes. Someone puked in the store and the smell is terribly overwhelming. It's driving customers out of the store and making all of us employees nauseous. We need you to come right now and remove it," the sales lady explained.
"Hold position, hold position," Khushrenada urgently radioed to Mop it up.
"Will you please please please please please please come right now and take care of this?" the sales lady begged which started drawing the attention of other shoppers.
Mop it up answered with:
1. Time to do the "I'm gonna win" dance and mock my opponents. 2. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me. 3. Unlike everyone else, I'm the only one here who has their **** together.

Post by: Khushrenada on September 11, 2018, 04:44:30 PM
There were some gasps from the other shoppers after Mop it up shouted that reply so loud. Embarrassed and realizing that she was starting to draw attention, Mop it up said that she'd of course be glad to help clean up the vomit. As she turned to the cleaning cart, however, she slipped on the newly cleaned floors and as she fell she knocked the cleaning cart. The cleaning cart raced towards a store front window and smashed through knocking over the mannequins in the window. The mannequins knocked over a table that had some lit candles on it as part of an interior decoration. The lit candles flew through the air and landed amongst some clothes and lit them on fire. In a few seconds, the whole store was ablaze. It turns out hemp clothing is really flammable.
It was at this moment that Deity showed up. Seeing him, Mop it up yelled out his name in surprise. He turned and locked eyes with Mop it up.
At the moment, people from the Lego Center noticed the blaze and cried out fire in alarm. Hundreds of panicked parents, children, staff and shoppers began to run in terror from the scene. Deity also turned and ran. Mop it up got up to chase him but then slipped again on the floors. "Curse my mopping ability!" she cried out. Instead she began to wiggle her way on the wet floor and after gaining a bit of momentum she was able to coast along to the cleaning cart like Mario in Super Mario Sunshine gliding along wet ground.
Reaching the cart, she used it to hoist herself up off the floor and then began pushing it with one leg to get some momentum and chase after Deity. She started getting closer and closer to him. Unfortunately, the cleaning cart had also caught on fire after it had crashed into the hemp store and the blaze started. The cleaning cart was now really engulfed in flames. As luck would have it, it was at this point that the chase led past The Propane Store and they just happened to be giving out free samples at the time.
"Blast it all," Khushrenada said, getting up from his table at the Food Court. Radioing in to the rest of the team, he said, "All hands on deck. We've got a runner. Somebody catch him before he escapes." Khushrenada then ran off in pursuit of Deity.

Mission Round 6
Insanolord walked out of the bathroom from which he'd been trying to psych himself up and stepped back into the main shopping corridor. As he did so, Deity just happened to run by him. Insanolord then contemplated going back into the bathroom and coming back out pretending he had just missed seeing Deity. But then he told himself that this was his chance to no longer be seen as a laughingstock by the group. He ran off in pursuit of Deity.
As he did, he radioed into the group: "I've got eyes on Deity and am pursuing him now! He's heading to the Nickelodeon Universe amusement park!"
The rest of the team all groaned at the news that Insanolord was in pursuit. At hearing their doubt, Insanolord radioed back with:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. Time to do the "I'm gonna win" dance and mock my opponents. 3. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me.

Having said that, Insanolord continued to chase after Deity. As they ran through the amusement park, Deity ran towards the Log Chute ride. Jumping over the fencing, he then proceeded to jump over the water track and kept on running into the park. Insanolord followed and jumped over the fencing as well. However, on landing, his feet slipped out from under him due to the wet floor below from all the water that had been splashed previously by the passing logs. He wiped out on the floor and then slid onto the Log Chute track. After splashing into the water, he proceeded to get up slowly from the pain of the wipe out but, as luck would have it, this is just when another log was falling down the track. It collided right into Insanolord and sent him flying into the Crazy Cars (aka Bumper Cars) attraction. All the people in the Crazy Cars were delighted at this development and they all turned their attention into ramming Insanolord around.
ShyGuy, who had just arrived at the Nickelodeon Universe park, was able to see this whole embarrassment play out. "Oh man," he laughed, "I can't wait to tell everyone back at base what happened here."
As he was laughing to himself, a person walking by collided with him. They both looked at each to apologize when ShyGuy realized who it was that had collided in to him. "Deity!" he cried out in surprise.
"Aw crap!" moaned Deity who then turned and ran back into the park. ShyGuy followed after him. Khushrenada radioed in to ShyGuy, "Wait for back-up!"
"Nah," ShyGuy answered, and followed it up with:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. Time to do the "I'm gonna win" dance and mock my opponents.

Maybe if some people (Stratos, Steefosaurus) choose their selections faster without needing constant reminders then maybe the game wouldn't feel so long which may turn some people off after awhile but at the the same time it was always designed to be a more casual game.
Yeah sorry for not being on daily, I realise it drags the game on a bit. Unfortunately my current Internet situation is just a bit spotty/unpredictable lately. It'll get better, but not for a while. I also missed a bunch of Khusrenada week, the recent mafia game, and still haven't played Mario Tennis with Phil either. Maybe not participating would be better for the game's tempo, but then again it'd also lower the participants so bit of a bind either way. :-\

Yeah, it's fine, Steef. Like I said at the end of the quote, it was always designed to be casual and something you can check in on when you can make it to the forums. Of course, to a point which is why there is the 3 day limit. Still, as players and host, you do end up feeling like you are waiting around at times for things to happen so I was just spitballing and wondering if that might be having an effect on player turnout. Over the games, there have been many players who have taken awhile on their turns and I've mocked/referenced them as well. Don't think you're the only one! I just happened to notice it in this game.

As ShyGuy did a dance to psych himself up in preparation of becoming the hero of the day by catching Deity, he didn't realize how close he was standing next to the Pepsi Orange Streak roller coaster ride. As the roller coaster went by, part of it snagged on his shirt and carried him away with it. His body was banged along the side of the tracks and other parts of the amusement park close by the whizzing coaster cars. Finally, his shirt ripped sending his broken body into the air where it landed on the Pineapple Poppers bouncy castle which bounced his body much higher and through the glass ceiling. His body hit the parking lot pavement outside with a splat.
The sudden appearance of a falling body right in front of his path sent the driver of a bus full of teens on their way to Fat Camp into a panic. He swerved sharply out of the way but was unable to gain control of the bus and ended up colliding with a propane tank that had come to help replenish The Propane Store that had suffered its earlier tragedy from Mop it up. The teenagers exited the bus to get away but, in a cruel twist of fate, they were too out of shape to ran far enough and fast enough. ShyGuy, with his last bit of bodily strength raised his head to look and see the propane truck explode taking out him and half the parking lot.
A couple hours later, Khushrenada and his team were called over by the first responders who had been digging through the debris to find survivors. It turns out all the fat teens would make a full recovery if you thought that last bit went to far. The rescuers has also discovered Deity in the debris and Khushrenada had instructed that he be called over immediately if he was found.
"How is he, doc?" Khushrenada asked.
"Not good. He's lost his sight and have his body was completely crushed. He's not going to make it. It's just seconds now," the Doctor answered.
Turning to Deity, Khushrenada said, "Quick! Tell me the identity and whereabouts of The Colonel. Become a snitch before you die and double-cross your greatest ally while you still have the chance!"
"Sounds... *cough* good to me," Deity whispered, "You're such an idiot, *cough* you know that?"
"Whoa, now! No need for such language. I'm just offering you a chance to see to it that The Colonel avenges your death by having you lead us to him so that he can enact that immediately for you," explained Khushrenada.
Deity went in a coughing and laughing fit. Finally he wheezed, "You fool. I don't have to lead you to The Colonel. He's already part of your team........ Oh crap." And then he died realizing the mistake he'd just made.
Khushrenada turned to face both Insanolord and Stratos who were now watching each other intently and began to back away from Khushrenada.
"Now hold it right there, you two," Khushrenada ordered, trying to keep the situation from escalating. Instead, the two men kept increasing their pace away from Khushrenada while staying pretty parallel to each other. Slowly, they began to reach for their gun while watching if the other person was trying to do the same. Soon, they were on the run and ducking for cover as they shot at each other while Khushrenada ran after them trying to avoid getting shot from them also while capturing them.

And so we come to the Final Round! Insanolord vs Stratos. One of these players will finally win their first game of Safe Words while the other will once again come up just short.
For the first time this game, Insanolord has control of the Bomb Word. Will that be what he needs to secure the victory or will it be his undoing of this game?
Meanwhile, Stratos has just survived another 50/50 choice this game with ShyGuy's incorrect choice. Now he must do it once more for the 4th time in order to win but this time, he is the one that must avoid the bomb word and select the Safe Word. Will he be able to make it through one more 50/50 round or will the odds finally catch up to him?
Who is the double agent of the story? Stay tuned.

Final Mission Round!
Insanolord and Stratos continued to both chase and evade each other as they ran down the opposite sides the street in parallel while sometimes firing at the other. Their path took them into the heart of the downtown area. Finally, one turned and ran into the entrance of a skyscraper while the other did the same thing ducking into the entrance of a skyscraper on their side of the street. They proceeded to run up the stairs to the top while looking across the street through the windows to keep track of the progress of their opponent. Higher and higher they climbed.
Eventually, they both reached the top. One each skyscraper roof was a helicopter. Both men climbed in and started them up. They then both took off and proceeded to close in on the other, firing their weapons. They circled and circled in the air as they tried to get a good shot in to the side of the other's helicopter. Finally, Insanolord managed to get a shot that punctured some of the gears of the rear propeller on Stratos helicopter causing him to begin losing control and have his helicopter spin out of control.
Knowing he couldn't bail without exposing himself as an easy target to Insanolord, Stratos looked around the interior of the copter and came up with a plan. Strapping on a parachute, he opened the door and waited for the right moment to jump. As his helicopter was in position, he closed his eyes, turned his head upward and said to himself:
1. Relax. This choice is perfectly safe. 2. Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me.

With that, Stratos leapt from his helicopter. As he flew into the air, he threw a fire extinguisher canister that he grabbed from his helicopter. It made a path towards Insanolord's helicopter. Meanwhile, Insanolord took aim at Stratos as he fell in the air. Wondering if he should focus on the coming fire extinguisher or Stratos, he said to himself, "Please don't let this choice end in yet another shameful defeat for me."
Suddenly, Stratos shot at the fire extinguisher. It exploded with force knocking Insanolord back in his pilot's chair. It showered his glass of the helicopter with white foam. The knockback caused Insanolord to pull the trigger of his gun and the bullet ricocheted off the metal interior and into his right arm. He cried out in pain as he lost movement from the arm. Meanwhile Stratos pulled the cord for his parachute opening it up beneath Insanolord's helicopter. He then immediately cut loose from the parachute as it snapped up and became entangled in the blades of Insanolord's helictopter. The helicopter began to seize and begin falling to the ground. Insanolord was unable to leave his chair from the force of momentum rapidly being exerted on him and with his right arm disabled, he had no way of being able to effectively use any of the controls. It spiraled down to the top of a parking lot where it exploded in fiery ball of flames taking Insanolord with it.
Stratos, however, had also grabbed a second parachute before leaving his helicopter. While Insanolord's chopper went down, he had strapped himself into it and pulled the cord. With it, he then sailed down smoothly to the roof of a Skyscraper below.
And so, STRATOS IS THE WINNER OF SAFE WORDS 14!!!! HE'S FINALLY DONE IT!

Epilogue
After getting himself free from his parachute, Stratos was surprised to see Khushrenada approaching him with his gun raised.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" he cried out, "I'm not the Colonel. It was Insanolord and I just eliminated him."
"Alright. I believe you but you do realize we're still going to have to check your story out and vet you, right?" Khushrenada answered back, "So, help start proving your innocence by handing me your gun and coming in peacefully while we do a quick investigation to confirm that."
"Ok. Alright. Here," Stratos responded, slowly taking out his weapon and putting it on the ground kicking it over to Khushrenada. Khushrenada picked it up and put it in his pocket.
"Good man," he said, smiling at Stratos, "Now let's get out of here."
As they walked to the rooftop exit, the Bureau Chief of the American Spy Service came out of it. Suddenly, there was a shot. He looked startled for a moment but then relaxed. Stratos was also shaken up and confused by it and then he suddenly felt a warm burning sensation in his chest. He looked down to see his shirt had an ever growing red spot forming on it. Feeling weak, he collapsed as he realized he had been shot. Looking at Khushrenada, he saw that he was holding a still smoking gun.
"But.... why?" he asked.
"Sorry, Stratos. It's just easier this way. With you and Insanolord both wiped out, we don't have to worry and wonder who's actually innocent or not and this whole double agent fiasco can get swept under the rug. It's just the spy business," he explained. Then he turned and walked over to the Bureau Chief.
"Another mission well done," the Chief congratulated him.
"Thank you, sir. Here's you gun back," Khushrenada said, handing him back the murder weapon, "I handled it just like you instructed me too when you got here on the scene."
"I knew I could count on you. But now, there's one last thing I need you to do," the Chief responded.
"What's that?" asked Khushrenada.
"Die!" answered the Chief, who then pointed the gun at Khushrenada and pulled the trigger.
But nothing happened. The gun was empty. "What the....?" the Chief wondered aloud, confused.
Khushrenada held out a magazine of bullets. "Looking for these?" he asked. The Chief looked at him in anger while Khushrenada pulled out Stratos's gun on him. Gesturing for the Chief to move away from the door, he then instructed him to go stand by Stratos's body while keeping the gun trained on him the whole time.
"What is this?" asked the Chief.
"Just you being outwitted. When you instructed me to eliminate Stratos to tie up any loose ends, I had a feeling that you might not hesitate to consider me a loose end as well from how things have developed. That's why I tossed my gun away downstairs and had to suddenly borrow yours before stepping out here. I needed to make sure you'd be disarmed. I took the magazine out, leaving the one bullet in the chamber and eliminated Stratos with that, leaving you to think the weapon was still loaded while I pocketed Stratos weapon in case I needed the protection," Khushrenada explained.
"Alright. Listen. You're still a tight spot. If you shoot me, as the only other person on the roof, you're still going to be under suspicion and it is going to be a black mark on your record to have your superior office die under your watch and care. If we walk down together, I'll repay the favor and you won't be killed but I am going to have to retire you from the Service. Think about it," the Chief reasoned.
"But I have. You'll have shot Stratos unarmed in order to keep him from exposing you as The Colonel. Unfortunately, for you, you will have died in the attempt, thereby allowing me to become Chief and hero for weeding out The Colonel and a traitor in our midst," Khushrenada shot back.
"I'm not The Colonel," protested The Chief.
"Well, of course, you aren't. I know that. I'm the bloody Colonel, for crying out loud. It's just the story I'm going to tell everyone to cover my tracks and tie up the loose ends in a way that benefits me," Khushrenada bragged.
"Ha ha ha! You're The Colonel? And you think you can shoot me and get away with it?! There's no way! No way in hell! Like I said, you are going to be investigated in the matter of a Bureau Chief's murder. You'll be exposed and disposed so fast in a manner so unpleasant, you'll wish you have let me shoot you here and now," the Chief exclaimed.
Khushrenada laughed as he opened the door to exit the rooftop. Turning back with the door now partially in front of him from being half closed, he replied back, "Not if I don't shoot you."
"If you don't shoot me then how do you hope to get away with it?" the Chief asked, bewildered.
"By making it look like an accident. Like I said, you killed Stratos who was unarmed from your gun to cover up what he was about to expose on you, and don't worry I've got evidence to plant about in your life to help the investigation in my claims, but you were killed in your cover-up by something you did not see coming making it a fortunate accident for everyone involved in the case," Khushrenada clarified.
"What kind of accident would I not see coming?" the Chief asked, with his hands in the air from the befuddlement he was in with Khushrenada's explanations.
"Apparently, I'm the only one who remembered about Stratos's helicopter," Khushrenada answered as a smile grew across his face and then he closed the door. The Chief slowly turned around as he heard a growing noise from behind him to see Stratos's helicopter spinning wildly and bearing down on the rooftop spot where he was standing at an extreme speed. He froze as his brain took in the horrible fate about to befall him unable to come up with any famous last words.
The collision of the helicopter on the roof and subsequent explosion caused the stairwell Khushrenada was strolling down to shake a bit. That had to hurt, he thought to himself. Pulling out his phone, he pressed a button on it which detonated a bomb eliminating the hacker he had used earlier for the CIA heist. With that, all the evidence and trail of people that could expose him as the Colonel were now eliminated. Soon, he'd be the new Bureau Chief and continue to expand his criminal empire further while he kept moving on up the chain of power and command. He began to whistle a happy tune as he made his descended on down the stairwell.
THE END
Wow! What a masterpiece. So glad I took the time to add more of a story to this game. Totally worth it. >:( :P

It took him 14 tries but Stratos has finally reached the mountaintop! For the first time ever, he stands alone at the end of a Safe Words game. Moreover, he goes from worst to first. He was the first player eliminated in Safe Words 13 but he is the last player standing in Safe Words 14. Talk about a comeback! Yet, while we I'm sure he's happy about that, let's discuss something even more dear to his heart: statistics!
As mentioned in previous Safe Word games, the players are all ranked by the F-Zero GX racing point system based on their position. Based on how the contestants finished in this game of Safe Words 14, these were the points handed out to them for the game:
If we add the points from this game to the cumulative totals of all players for all 13 games now played, here is the current All-Time Safe Words Leaderboard:
1. ShyGuy - 1059 points (14 games played) 2. Stratos - 1024 points (14 games played) 3. NWR_insanolord - 955 points (14 games played) 4. nickmitch - 938 points (13 games played) 5. Mop it up - 906 points (12 games played) 6. Soren - 802 points (12 games played) 7. Lucario - 738 points (10 games played) 8. Silenced - 502 points (7 games played) 8. oohhboy - 502 points (8 games played) 10. UncleBob - 478 points (6 games played) 11. TOPHATANT123 - 442 points (6 games played) 12. Triforce Hermit - 430 points (6 games played) 13. lolmonade - 360 points (6 games played) 14. Nuclearspeed - 342 points (5 games played) 15. Khushrenada - 319 points (5 games played) 16. Steefosaurus - 257 points (3 games played) 17. ObbyDent - 180 points (3 games played) 18. Evan_B - 165 points (3 games played) 19. TofuFury - 139 points (2 games played) 20. Spak-Spang - 116 points (2 games played) 21. Ceric - 100 points (1 game played) 22. (tie) Fatty The Hutt - 93 points (1 game played) 22. (tie) Phil - 93 points (1 game played) 22. (tie) Pokepal148 - 93 points (1 game played) 25. (tie) BlackNMild2k1 - 76 points (1 game played) 25. (tie) Zap - 76 points (1 game played) 27. BeautifulShy - 71 points (1 game played) 28. ejamer - 47 points (1 game played) 29. Hypotheliciously - 41 points (1 game played)
As mentioned in the Final Four write-ups, the only change on the leaderboard is Insanolord leapfrogging over nickmitch to take the third spot from his point total this game. ShyGuy and Stratos are the first two players to crack the 1000 point mark. Insanolord, nickmitch and Mop it up all pass the 900 point mark from this game as well. Way to help crush the illusion for new players that they can rise quickly in the leaderboard ranks at this point!

And so with the stats noted and adjusted, another game of Safe Words has come to an end. Realizing how close they had all come to Insanolord actually winning a game, everyone knew they had been very fortunate to avoid such an outcome. Thus, it was decided that this would be the last game of Safe Words and everyone went about happy in their lives. Because of the crushing defeat, Khushrenada was re-energized and gave up his reign as King of the Winos to return to his regular forum name and reign as King of the Forums. That is why Safe Words is no longer played on these forums despite Insanolord begging everyone to play it so that he could get one more chance.

Good job Stratos!!
I have to say this is a fun but basic game but I loved when it got down to the last two words and it was do or die.

I really appreciated Khush's story, even if it ended on a bad note for me, but this is so over the top, I like to think I survived with some burn scars by crawling off the roof before the main explosion and getting medical treatment from some illegal, banned doctor with a strange accent.

Sounds like someone wants to write their own fan fiction sequel...

If that was an invitation to host then I'm down to give it a try in the future, but that would run the risk of letting Insanolord win, and we can't have that now, can we? I'd be known as "the host that let him win".

I can't believe I was bested by Stratos! Congrats Stratos, heavy is the crown.

Nah, just riffing on your tale of surviving with burn scars. But now I wonder, what makes you so sure Insanolord will win if you host? Some kind of payback for letting you get a win?

So I guess crime does pay?
Thanks for hosting the game Khushrenada, I know you put a lot of work into these.
If Stratos hosts then how can we get our revenge?!
