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.

THIS POST IS PART OF AN ELIMINATION GAME – DO NOT REPLY TO IT UNLESS YOU ARE PLAYING

---

To try to kill a now, or not? That is a question.

In an attempt to make the game a little more realistic, I provided some more options and a lot of variables.

DAY 6 ROUND 1 RESULTS

---

OPTION 1 - Do not attempt to kill the cows.

The players who chose not to attempt to kill a cow moved on and left the cows in peace.

The Players who chose Option 1 have now progressed to the next round.

---

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

This effort was very unsuccessful.

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

---

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

This effort was also very unsuccessful.

The players who chose Option 3 have now progressed to the next round.

---

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.)

This cow was a difficult one to attempt to take down. Once the gunfire started it took off and accurate shots were harder to take. The angle of the animal did not help either. Here are the predetermined results of firing on it.

• PISTOL - Unfortunately, this cow was not able to be subdued by pistol fire. Any rounds risked on firing at it have now been lost.
• SHOTGUN - The stopping power of the shotgun was able to take it down, but only after 5 rounds were fired. If less rounds were risked, they were lost, if 5 or more were risked, then 5 rounds were fired and the beast was killed.
• RIFLE - The rifle was also able to take it down, but only after 7 rounds were fired. If less rounds were risked, they were lost, if 7 or more were risked, then 7 rounds were fired and the beast was killed.

---

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.)

This cow was an easier option than the last one to take down. Here are the predetermined results of firing at the vital organs on it.

• PISTOL - The pistol was able to take it down, but only after 4 rounds were fired. If less rounds were risked, they were lost, if 4 or more were risked, then 4 rounds were fired and the beast was killed.
• SHOTGUN - The shotgun was also able to take it down, after only 1 round was fired. If 1 or more rounds were risked, then 1 round was fired and the beast was killed.
• RIFLE - The rifle was also successful after only 1 round was fired. If 1 or more rounds were risked, then 1 round was fired and the beast was killed.

---

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.)

Attempted head shots on this cow had varied outcomes. Here are the predetermined results of firing at the head of it.

• PISTOL - The pistol was not able to take it down, no matter how many shots were fired at the head. Any shots risked were lost.
• SHOTGUN - The shotgun was also able to take it down, but only after 2 rounds were fired. If 2 or more rounds were risked, then 2 rounds were fired and the beast was killed.
• RIFLE - The rifle was also successful after only 1 round was fired. If 1 or more rounds were risked, then 1 round was fired and the beast was killed.

---

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.)

This cow also had varied results. Here are the predetermined results of firing at the head of it.

• PISTOL - The pistol was unable to kill the cow. Any shots risked were fired and lost.
• SHOTGUN - The shotgun was also able to take it down, but only after 2 rounds were fired. If 2 or more rounds were risked, then 2 rounds were fired and the beast was killed.
• RIFLE - The rifle was also successful after only 1 round was fired. If 1 or more rounds were risked, then 1 round was fired and the beast was killed.

---

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.)

Attempted vital organ shots on this cow had varied outcomes. Here are the predetermined results of firing at the vitals organs on it.

• PISTOL - The pistol was not able to take it down, no matter how many shots were fired at the head. Any shots risked were lost.
• SHOTGUN - The shotgun was able to take it down, but only after 2 rounds were fired. If 2 or more rounds were risked, then 2 rounds were fired and the beast was killed.
• RIFLE - The rifle was also able to take it down, but only after 2 rounds were fired. If 2 or more rounds were risked, then 2 rounds were fired and the beast was killed.

IMPORTANT INFO ON DEAD COWS

Any players/teams who were able to kill a cow with gunfire began to try to cut up some meat with either a knife or a rock. Some were planning on eating it raw while others were about to start a fire.

However, the gunfire drew the attention of others, and soon shouts were heard coming from the woods nearby. Quickly, the players grabbed handfuls of raw meat and ran off into the woods.

They were able to eat their raw meat successfully, and now must eat prior to the end of Day 8 in order to avoid starvation.

---

DAY 6 ROUND 2 SCENARIO

---

As the remaining players make their way through the woods, they encounter a few patches of mushrooms. Some are tan in color and very wrinkly with hollow centers.

Others are red with white spots.

I wonder if any of these are edible... or deadly...

OPTIONS

• OPTION 1 – Leave the mushrooms alone.

---

• OPTION 2 – Use the FIELD GUIDE. If any safe options exist, the FIELD GUIDE will automatically select them for you.

---

• OPTION 3 – Attempt to eat the tan wrinkly mushrooms.

---

• OPTION 4 – Attempt to eat the red mushrooms with white spots and stems.

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.

If you fired any rounds of ammunition from your supplies last round, please subtract that number from your inventory.

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 4 this round, risking up to 6 rounds of ammunition with my pistol.

---

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