Play-Along-Pocalypse Season 1! STEEM-POCALYPSE Season 6 Day 6 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.

Which way to go? Let's see who went where and how it worked out for them.

DAY 5 ROUND 2 RESULTS

OPTION 1 - Try to climb uphill.

Some of the players chose to climb uphill. After a bit, their legs began to hurt, but they pressed on. The vegetation was lush and the air was cool.

As they got higher up, they became more visible. There on a nearby ridge, someone was checking the area.

Just looking for something or someone to unload on, eventually their scope found the players.

For two player teams, once the first player was shot, the other one took off, but they were not fast enough.

The Players who chose Option 1 have now been eliminated. Thanks so much for playing and please consider joining back in next season.

---

OPTION 2 – Try to head downhill.

A lot of players chose to head down hill, hoping to find a stream, pond, or some animals. They are still continuing down the slope now, alive and well.

The players who chose Option 2 have now progressed to the next round.

---

OPTION 3

It looks like no players chose this option.

---

---

Day 6 Round 1 SCENARIO

As the remaining players continue downhill, they notice a small valley with a field. It just so happens that they see some cattle in that field.

The closest one is about 100 feet away and walking the other way. Two others are a little farther back. A beast like this could mean a good meal and perhaps even some to spare. However, these are very large animals.

Thankfully, they seem to be wild now, as they most likely escaped from whatever farmer used to have them. Can the players successfully harvest one of these bovine? Could they be killed without a gun?

---

In this round multiple options exist. Everyone, regardless of weapons, will at least be able to choose to try to kill one of these animals if they want. For players attempting to shoot one of them, you must also reply with the number of rounds of ammunition that you are willing to risk. If you are willing to risk firing 2 rounds with your rifle and you kill it on the first shot, then you will only use 1 round. However, if you needed to fire 3 shots to successfully drop it, then you would be out 2 rounds of ammunition and the animal would have escaped. Also, make sure to specify your type of gun.

For teams, both players can attempt to fire together at the same animal, or at different ones, or only one player can fire. This will be your choice. If players on the same team are choosing different options or shots (like if one player is aiming for a head shot and another for a vital organ shot simultaneously on the same cow) they can reply to separate option comments.

---

OPTIONS

---

• OPTION 1 - Do not attempt to kill the cows.

---

• OPTION 2 – Try to kill the nearest cow with a knife. (For players with a knife.)

---

• OPTION 3 – Try to kill the nearest cow with a rock.

---

• OPTION 4 - Attempt vital organ shot(s) on the nearest cow, which is walking away. (For players with guns. Please specify gun type and number of rounds of ammunition that you are willing to risk.)

---

• OPTION 5 – Attempt vital organ shot(s) on the cow lying down. (For players with guns. Please specify gun type and number of rounds of ammunition that you are willing to risk.)

---

• OPTION 6 – Attempt head shot(s) on the cow lying down. (For players with guns. Please specify gun type and number of rounds of ammunition that you are willing to risk.)

---

• OPTION 7 – Attempt head shot(s) on the cow grazing. (For players with guns. Please specify gun type and number of rounds of ammunition that you are willing to risk.)

---

• OPTION 8 – Attempt vital organ shot(s) on the cow grazing. (For players with guns. Please specify gun type and number of rounds of ammunition that you are willing to risk.)

---

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: The Backup Food Supplies are in one ration portions, which can feed one player and keep them alive for two days. Also, if for some reason you decide to change your choice prior to the 24 hour response time cutofff, please contact @novaatebatman to make sure 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 PLANT FIELD GUIDE and a pistol with 8 rounds of ammunition. I must eat by the end of Day 6. 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.
