Regulated

Stephen King is a master at imbuing seemingly innocent words with deeply sinister undertones. An excellent example of this is the verb "regulate", in his novel "The Regulators":

... And how does it know that Seth hasn't seen this final card, as he has seen some of the others Tak has held, even in spite of its best efforts to hide them?
   Because he has called his beloved auntie back to the house to help him get away.
   And when his beloved auntie finally stops hesitating out there on the stoop and comes in, she'll be ... well ...
   Regulated.
   Completely regulated.

Last night, in the final tournament I entered, I regulated every other player at the table. That is, I took all of them out, one by one. That's a highly unusual feat. In over 500 tournaments, I've only accomplished it five times.
