Play-Along-Pocalypse Season 1! STEEM-POCALYPSE Seaon 6 Day 4 Round 1!

Want to play STEEM-POCALYPSE but missed out on the sign-up? Want to play but you're not sure about the rules and would like to learn how to play in a less competitive setting? (Or are you shy and don't want to learn in front of so many players?) Have you already been killed off in STEEM-POCALYSE but would like to keep playing? (Are you still alive in the current season of STEEM-POCALYPSE but want to goof around with your fellow players some more?)

Then this is the game for you!

The Rules for Proper Gameplay:

-- Players must reply within 24hrs of this post being made or they will die.

-- Players must reply to the comment below containing the option they would like to choose for gameplay. If they reply to the main post and not the comment containing the option they would like to choose, they will die.

-- Players must keep track of their own inventories and when they last ate/when they must eat again to avoid starvation.

-- -- EXAMPLE:

I have one backup food supply, rope, 6 ammo (no gun), I ate some berries on Day 3 Round 2, and I choose Option 3!

-- -- -- As this is the first post for this season, there is currently no inventory to keep track of. However, that will change soon and when it does, make sure you keep track of your inventory!

-- -- -- -- Any attempts at dishonesty when listing your inventory will result in immediate death.

---

THE BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PLAY-ALONG-POCALYPSE and STEEM-POCALYPSE:

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, you do not have to signup to play. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, all players must signup for the current season ahead of time. Only those that signed up are allowed to play in the current season.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, death is temporary and you may play again on the next game post. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, death is permanent and you must wait until the next season to play again.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, you may join us at any point in the game. Meaning, if you didn't play with us in the beginning, you're still welcome to join in and start out on whatever the current round is. If you didn't play in Day 1 Round 1, Day 1 Round 2, Day 2 Round 1, Day 2 Round 2, you are still welcome to join us in Day 3 Round 1. (If you join later on in gameplay, I will provide you with a small inventory of items.) In STEEM-POCALYPSE, you MUST begin playing on Day 1 Round 1 and MUST reply to every game post within 24hrs of it being posted or you will die and have to wait until the next season to play again.

-- -- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, I will be enforcing the reply within 24hrs to a game post. Since death is temporary in Play-Along-Pocalypse, the only real consequence is that you will miss out on whatever inventory you might've gained in the missed post and you will miss out on eating if one of the options provided a meal.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, if you're not playing the game, you're allowed to comment and interact with people in the comments of the game posts anyways. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, commenting on game posts when you are not playing is not only VERY RUDE but it's against the rules and creates more work for @Papa-Pepper and myself. So please don't idly chat on STEEM-POCALYPSE posts, come chat on Play-Along-Pocalypse posts instead.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, I'll be posting a list of all the players that played correctly in the previous game post. They will be the 'survivors'. Those that do no play correctly will not be listed. Play-Along-Pocalypse is for learning how to play the game and to have fun and be much more relaxed while learning the game. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, a list of the survivors and a list of the fallen are posted every day.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, there is no prize pool to win. Why? Because this is a learning experience and for fun. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, there's not only a prize pool, but it can grow to be quite large. However, those unable to play the official game correctly will not win the prize pool. If you want to win potentially hundreds or thousands of dollars, you need to be able to follow the game rules on your own if you want to win the money.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, if you die for some reason, I will inform you of your demise and the reason for it, and you can try again on the next game post. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, if you die, you die. Try again next season.

OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, I highly encourage you to ask all the questions you want or need. I will answer them to the very best of my ability.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, I highly encourage you to interact with each other and to have fun.

-- I also highly encourage you to get creative and to leave your STEEM-POCALYPSE/Play-Along-Pocalypse inspired creations in the comments below.

-- Roleplaying is highly encouraged.

OKAY, ON TO THE ACTUAL GAME!!

The Official STEEM-POCALYPSE Season 6 Day 2 Round 1 Post by @Papa-Pepper

---

---

---

In the last round the players met a stranger. Not being sure who it was, they were uncertain how to proceed.

---

DAY 3 ROUND 2 RESULTS

OPTION 1 - Try to shoot them. (For players with a gun.)

Trust can be a hard thing to come by, especially in a game like this. For players that chose to shoot first and ask questions later, they were not the only ones.

The stranger had the same idea in mind. Up came both guns, and both triggers were pulled. Bullets flew in both directions, and both people, both the player and the stranger got shot.

The Players who chose Option 1 have now perished. Thanks for playing and feel free to join back in next season.

---

OPTION 2 – Try to stab them. (For players with a knife.)

No players chose this option.

---

OPTION 3 – Try to set them on fire. (For players with a bottle of gasoline and a magnesium firestarter.)

No players chose this option.

---

OPTION 4 – Try to run away. (For players with feet.)

This was not only a popular option, it was a safe one as well. The smart players who chose this option escaped with their lives, free to play another day!

The Players who chose Option 4 are still alive. Congratulations.

---

OPTION 5 - Try to team up. (For players who are alone and are ready to get some help and pool resources.)

Some on you may be wondering how important that little three-letter word try was in the sentence "try to team up.*" Thankfully, when the players tried in this round they succeeded.

Any player who chose Option 5 last time now has the option to form a team. No one has to, but only players who chose Option 5 have the opportunity. Teams will consist of two players (unless an "odd man out" scenario arises). It may be worth evaluating the inventory of others and comparing their items with yours. I diverse inventory of supplies may be crucial to your survival in this season.

Once two players have decided to team up, they can create a TEAM NAME and TEAM LOGO if they wish. As an added bonus, during teamplay only one team member will be required to respond to progress gameplay. Both players can respond and even discuss options in the comment section, but if only one player responds, that will be viewed as the team choice and both players of the team will continue in gameplay.

If any player who chose Option 5 prefers to continue alone, please reply with "continue solo" as well as including your inventory and option choice for today.

The Players who chose Option 5 now have the opportunity to team up. Congratulations.

Day 4 Round 1 SCENARIO

---

The players press on, hoping not to get shot or eaten. It seems that death lies around every corner, and starvation is also a threat. All players must eat by the end of Day 4 in order to avoid starving to death, so hopefully they will find something edible in this round or the next. Thankfully, at least some have Backup Food Supplies.

PING!

A bullet ricochets off a brick building behind the players. Frantically, they run around the corner and down the street. After zig-zagging around a few more blocks, they stop to catch their breath.

Most likely, the bullet was from a sniper, so the probability that they are being followed is slim... unless someone saw them running. As they consider their surroundings, the players notice some plants growing in the cracks of the side walk.

In some ways, the plants look rather similar. In other ways, they look quite different.

The players are getting desperately hungry, and they will need to eat a large amount of food soon to keep going.

Should they try to eat one of these plants? There sure are a lot of them growing here. Definitely enough to fill up on. If so, which plant? Or perhaps why choose, perhaps eating both plants would be best.

---

OPTIONS

---

• OPTION 1 - Do not eat either plant.

---

• OPTION 2 – Eat a whole bunch of this plant.

---

• OPTION 3 – Eat a whole bunch of this plant.

---

• OPTION 4 – Eat a whole bunch of both plants.

---

• OPTION 5 - Shoot the plants but do not eat them, and then move on.

---

PLAYER RESPONSIBILITY

All players who have signed up and want to play must reply to this post with 24 hours in order to avoid elimination and continue gameplay. All players must reply to my option comment below, not to this post. I will reply to my own posts with the options each in their own comments, and the players must reply to whichever comment has the option that they wish to choose.

IMPORTANT: If for some reason you decide to change your choice prior to the 24 hour response time cutoff, please contact @novaatebatman directly so that you are registered under the correct option.

Also, please remember to include your inventory in your reply. Example:

I have gas, a magnesium firestarter, a backup food supply and a pistol with 8 rounds of ammunition. I choose Option 3 this round.

As always, please remember that all outcomes are predetermined. In an elimination survival game, most of you are going to die eventually. Nothing personal.
